If you are looking at buying this case then you like the looks of it.It goes without saying that it isn't for everyone.Despite the pictures you find online, past the front panel the rest of the case has relatively boxy lines save the side panels.

Everything fits in this case well but it is a little tight.Someone I know compared it to a porsche: everything fits in tightly and it works very very well.I also have a corsair H50 (like the other reviewer) and I went the other route and took off the side fan completely.I hooked the second fan controller up to the 120mmx38mm radiator fan so it doesn't always sound like a jet engine.Since radiators are all about static pressure a thinner fan isn't going to get it done so if you plan on using the corsair h50 or any other radiator plan on making some mods or losing the side fan.

I have to say that I had big plans on how to fit the side fan on.The easiest, and probably the best for overclocking is to head on over to [...] and buy their 3x5.25" adapter for a 120mm fan fpr $10.You can then mount your radiator and 120mm fan(s) to that and use it as an intake for the front of your case (assuming you only have one cd-rom drive).

I have to say that my computer temps and GPU temps are low and I'm very happy with this case. I can't really see any reason to spend the extra cash and time to put the radiator in the front of the case with the temps I'm getting.

The entire back and front of the case are basically mesh which adds to letting fresh air in and if you go with a cold cathode tube (in addition to the red led fan) this case glows which is awesome. Without the side fan it creates a window effect which is pretty cool too.

You will need a modular PSU with this case, there just isn't enough room for a standard PSU if you want the front 200mm fan to run efficiently.

The other 140mm fan is due in next week from Amazon (if you buy this case, buy the additional 140mm fan if you find it because they have been on backorder for months)

This case is great if you are the type of user who only uses 1 or 2 HDD's and 1 or 2 optical drives.The temp sensors and fan controls are a nice alternative to adding a crazy fan controller.
