    Well this is a replacement case I might get when I make my new system, but I just thought I would get the opinion of everyone here.

    Then again when I comes time to make my new system this case will most likely be outdated...but oh well, good conversation topic I guess.

    About the only downfall that I can see about this case is the fact that it only has an 80MM exhaust fan, but there are differant solutions for that.

    On the upside, I love how there is a 120MM fan in the front, 80MM fan by the HDD bays, and another two fans on the clear side panel. Also the fact that both panels of the case can be folded down or just detached. One other positive would be that is has a removeable motherboard tray which is a huge plus.

    Just wanted to know what all of you thought about this case?

    Looks quite good and sounds like it has good ventilation, but it weighs a lot (10Kg)

    well it is not that heavy, I mean to heavy it when you have to labor just to lift the case with everything in it. I don't think it is that heavy, but it certainly has some weight to it.

    Yeah, the case looks great.

    I just wish I would have gotten that one instead of the coolermaster case that I have now.

    Just can't justify spending another $100 on another case, esspecially when I "modified" my case. I just made the hole by that PSU a little bigger, nothing major but it is definatly not new anymore.

    if you are refverring to this, the fans are noisey the PSU ---- and the construction cheap. I removed the door because ti was too anoying if you want a cheap case get the coolermaster centurion 5. I speak from personal experience I have both.

    lol,

    1. I took the psu out, replaced it with my Puma II

    2. I replaced the fans with some that were laying around

    3. I as well took off the door

    but for the cheap price I got it at, of $50 from zipzoom, IDC... I can always get a new one..

    coolermaster centurion for 35$>raidmax case. you can actually keep the fans should you desire and it's tooless. only issue i see is cable management, a dremel might be needed by some if they yearn for the best cable management possile...
