 Good for a basic case. Strengths: Looks good, curved edges, nice window, Front LCD, CD drive covers, front USB, audio and firewire, "bubble light" on/off
Weaknesses: Lack of LCD power switch, included fans are somewhat noisy, back plane is a bit flimsy
Summary: When I first purchased the case and removed it from the box, first looks were impressive. The case looks great. It has a large side window with a fan and space/vents for 2 more and a top window with another fan. Both are molex fans. When I assembled the machine and powered it on, the LCD panel and bubble lights came on. Both look stunning, especially in the dark. I think the case would look better with blue LED fans, but it comes with tri-color fans (blue, green & red). When assembling, the stock standard back plane cover came off nicely, but left the rest of the back plane a bit flimsy. The single screw bracket for the expansion slots is a nice feature, but I had to bend a few of the notches to make sure some cards had a secure fit. The included fans are a bit noisy for ambient sound, but work well. One of the three temperature sensors included (that work in conjunction with the LCD screen) stopped working after a while. I suspect it was due to pressure, as I had it pinned between two relatively tight surfaces. Since the temp probe is broken, the LCD panel beeps many times before it turns on. There is space for a back fan and a front fan. The case also comes with 2 CD drive covers that feel relatively cheap, but work nicely. It came with a 500W PSU that burnt out a few months after purchase. The included PSU lacked a decent number of cables, too. It's a good case, but it has it's flaws.
