Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had one of these cases for a week now.What I like about this case is that it has good airflow, which helps keep the CPU and other components cool.Also, there is space for a 120mm fan in the front as well as the back.Mine came with front & rear 120mm fans, so I decided not to install any additional fans.The fans are surprisingly quiet, which is nice.There are vents in the left side, allowing for increased cooling inside the case.I have software that tells me the temperatures of my system, and under a moderate load, my CPU (AMD Athlon64 dual-core 4800+) runs around 45 Celsius (I have a fairly good CPU cooler too), system temperature is high 30s Celsius, and power supply is around 62 Celsius.Under a heavy load, I've noticed my CPU around 55-65 Celsius, which isn't bad, but power supply temperature can creep up to high 70s Celsius, which is a bit hot.(These figures came from Abit's µGuru software.)
Also, the size of the case makes it spacious inside while not being overly huge.Construction is sturdy while not being overly heavy.
Another nice thing about this case is that the side panels can be removed individually, making it easier to open the case to do maintenance.
It's also fairly easy to install drives: Instead of using screws on the left side, there are plastic devices that fit into the screw holes and lock in place, which make for quicker drive installation.Drives can stay in place fairly well with these, but I elected to also use screws on the other side to better hold the drives in place.
The 500W power supply has plenty of power for most everyday setups, and it has plenty of the various standard power connectors (molex, small connectors for floppy drives, etc., and SATA connectors).
One thing I don't like is the front door.A lot of PC cases these days have a front door, and I've never really been a fan of doors on PC cases.They seem to just get in the way (you have to open the door to access the drives and the power & reset buttons).Also, I have a Sound Blaster Audigy sound card with one of their front audio panels, and the volume controls stick out too far for the door on this case, so I had to place that panel where the opening is in the door.Not a big deal; I just prefer not having a door on my PC case.
Another thing I think could be better about this case is the location of the USB & audio connectors.They're on the right side of the case, which I think is a little inconvenient.I think the front is a better location for the USB connectors.
Overall, this is a nice case, and I think it's worth the price.
