First I'll start by saying the other reviewer states 3 120mm fans which is incorrect. This case comes with 1 top mounted 140mm fan, 1 front 140mm fan and 1 rear 120mm fan. Its a very strong and well built case but theres some things new builders may need to know before getting this thing. The wiring for the fans is horrible! They have a led controller and power controller to the front and rear fan. The power is a 2 molex pin type and the led is a weird 3 pin type which is hidden behind the side panel. All these wires get daisy chained together which can be really difficult for a new builder to figure out. I've been building pc's for over 5 yrs now and when I first got this case I didn't hook these fans up correctly cause of the whacky way they connect and are hidden. The connections for them are ususally tucked away and hidden on the side panel that doesnt have the clear window. The led light controller is there because the front and rear get connected to a on/off button for the led lights on the top of the case. Its just a mess and hard to explain! Just be warned if your not technically inclined at hooking up computers wires and such thats all. If your adventureous then you shouldnt have a problem. Also all of the included fans are pretty much useless and have low air flow except the front fan which is decent....plan on investing in better ones if you got alot of newer advanced hot parts. And one more thing regarding the fans is you have absolutely no control over there speed at all. They are quiete though so thats my only plus on them. The case itself has 4 top panel usb inputs that get hooked to the motherboard and a sata port along with a front panel mic and headphone jacks. The handle is very sturdy on this thing and makes for moving it around much easier. It can accomodate pretty large cpu coolers and graphics cards also. I have a ati 5770 installed with no problems but I have heard anything bigger than 10" is to big for this case without modding it. Another nice feature is the cpu cutout area for installing a 3rd party cooler. You dont have to take the motherboard out to install a aftermarket cpu cooler cause of this cutout hole! The motherboard tray isnt removeable but that cutout hole makes the world of difference and makes up for things. Also this case has the best cable management layout I have seen to date in all my builds. Its has tons of holes to re route them ugly cables behind the back panel and lots of zip tie slots. The tooless features for the expansion bays and pci slots work wonderful as well! One other thing to mention is the big front panel has nice filters over everything to keep dust out which is a huge plus for me. Oh and I forgot to mention theres also room for 2 120mm fans on the side panel clear window...if you have a big aftermarket cpu cooler though you can only install 1. All in all minus the junky fans and the bad wiring for the fans this case is excellent...had it not been for those darn fan wires and the bad airflow on them I would have rated this thing 5 stars easily.
