Firstly, I should say that I purchased this case to build a PC that I wanted to fit into a shelf that's only 13 1/2" high - this case fits without any issue, which is the number one reason I love it.

It's quiet, despite its exceptional air movement and cooling, and is quite attractive.

However....

Cable management, as you might imagine, is quite difficult - however, it's not just due to the confined space in which you're working - for some reason, manufacturers are trying to save pennies by putting front I/O cables in with cables that are barely long enough to support proper use - this case has a slide-out motherboard tray, but if you try to slide it even halfway (with most motherboards) the front USB and front audio cables do not reach - therefore, you MUST connect those cables once the motherboard and tray are installed, and that can be tough in this tiny box.

The only other 'complaint' I have is that with just over 66mm of clearance (on my Athlon 64 board, but presumably close if not the same with Intel) I had a slightly difficult time finding a good CPU cooler that would fit.I couldn't imagine any way to install it with the motherboard tray IN the case, so it must be done prior to installing the tray.I used a ThermalTake BlueOrb II, but even with that, I had to use my Dremel to cut out a filleted corner of the main frame to get this relatively low-profile cooler to slide in (the BlueOrb is squat, but fairly large in diameter).

The long and the short is, knowing what I know now, the case is great...but it would have been great to have information like that which I HOPE I provided in this review before I made my purchase - not that I'd ever think of changing my mind, but because it would have saved me about $30 in parts I cannot use, and about 2 weeks of time waiting for replacement parts to arrive.All in all, great product!!!
