Basically, I am going to skip the review about the product, you can get those with a quick google. What I want to share took me many hours to discover in a buried post that made this case worth having. There is a problem with the upper fan, in the sense that some small grooves left from the plastic molding can hit the fan blades while it spins. This can damage the blades and it makes a ton of noise. It is however easily fixed.

1) Before you install anything, I recommend you take off the top of the unit via the 3 screws on the upper inside, where the motherboard would lay.

2) Slide top off and flip over, no need to remove the fan. Inside the top you'll see 6 silver screws. Remove them, and the side pieces will come off. If you look on the side pieces, you'll see 2 casting tabs on each where the fan was set. Just shave them off with a knife. They come off easy and it is simple enough to shave it flat to the plastic again.

3) Re-install sides with screws, slide top back on and lock into place, reapplying screws inside. Now it should run quiet and smooth.

I unfortunately had installed everything before I learned about the fan's issues. Also, the screw-less system for the PCI slots is pretty weak, so I just unscrewed the 3 screws in the back and removed the piece, using the extra screws they gave to more securely put in my video cards.

The HDD and Drive Bay screwless system is pretty cool though, and the box is runnning great and keeping everything very cool.

After all that, I still recommend this unit for sure, if you're willing to do some quick fix-ups that the company chose not to do.

Enjoy!
