Louamo Member Since: Sep 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 5 Days	Excellent Computer Case Strengths: Very good airflow, all aluminum and metal design, sturdy and spacious. Weaknesses: No removeable motherboard tray (may not be a con for some). Summary: The perforated front panel combined with the 80mm intake and the 120 outake fan is more than enough to keep this case cool. Very sturdy, well designed aluminum case with plenty of room for your drives and accessories. The fans are quiet, includes 2 USB2.0, 2 Audio and 1 IEEE1394 on the front panel. It has 5 External 5.25" Drive Bays, 1 External 3.5" Drive Bay (floppy drive), 4 Internal 3.5" Drive Bays and 7 Expansion Slots (more than enough for just about anyone). Highly recommended. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.

iceberg11 from VA Member Since: Sep 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 7 Days	Great Case Strengths: Good air flow, Quiet, easy set up, toolless Weaknesses: Not enough Hard Drive slots (3 to be exact, 5 if you used the floppy slots), no motherboard tray Summary: This is a no frill case that has all you need with the clean design that I have come to like. There is mostly no tools involved except for the removal of the front panel to get access to the optical drive slots. I would've like a motherboard tray as I changed components alot. Price is in my opinion just right for what you get. I would buy it again if I have another build. Newegg have always shipped fast and they are the only one selling the case w/ window and no power supply, which is how I wanted it. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful.

mf1462 from PA Member Since: Jan 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 4 Months	Great Case Strengths: Premium look and feel, screwles design, Price, Mesh panel Weaknesses: Front panel difficult to work on Summary: This case simply feels, looks, and performs like a $100 case. The included 120mm fan is quiet and performs well. The mesh pattern is beautiful though dust can collect on it. The logo is not on the window on all the new cases sold. Overall this is a great value case that is sleek and worth every penny. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

marcusverkler Member Since: Oct 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	Sweet Case! Strengths: Cool mesh front, big 120 fan, very cool looking. Great Airflow great case Weaknesses: My only gripe is that the mesh gets a little dusty after a while. The intake fan was a small pain to switch out.. but not a huge problem or anything. Summary: a VERY solid case. I like working on and in it. the bay covers and the entire mesh front has a thin foam set into it acting as a nice filter for any air movement. everything is removable and you can secure it back in place no matter what it is you removed. so its future-proof in a way. you can change the location o fanything and still be alright.

marc420 Member Since: Jun 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	My thoughts regarding the Centurion 5 case Strengths: Solid design, window, tool free installation, front usb and audio ports, big exhaust fan(12cm), perforated front cover (with built in dust filters) Weaknesses: front switches and ports too low, bad paint job on inside of window panel, small front intake fan, not too roomy interior Summary: This case is an excellent value for the price. Anyone looking for a mid size case can't go wrong. If you are looking for a lot of room and plan on adding many drives then your better off with a larger case. But for those who want a simple yet effect case this case will work fine. I like the fact that this case is a tool free design. It makes adding/removing components painless. The perforated front cover also does wonders for cooling the interior of the case. A bigger intake fan up front would have made better sense, but I guess it's made up for by the larger exhaust fan. Overall this is an excellent case for the price. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.

zhangsa Member Since: Jun 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 15 Days	A still good entry-level case Strengths: compact design and light weight, classic style with silver-like bezel. 1 120mm and 1 80mm fans, tooless installation for bay installation Weaknesses: design of air flow, tooless installation design for the interface card (PCI, PCI-E, etc.) installation, 2-pin fan connectors for both case fans, Poor manual Summary: But there are a lot of places that need improvements: 1. The manual is very short and erroneous. Most of the time, it is just a piece of junk and you need to figure out by yourself. 2. The 3.5" hard disk bays are right behind the front case fan. The fact proves that it is a very bad idea if you fill all the bays with hard drives (I did it and found the case temperature was continuously high, like 50 Celsius. Finally, I had to leave 1 while move others to the 5.25" bays. This finally reduced the temperature to 35 Celsius 3. The tooless mechanism for interface card slot doesn't work effectively. When you insert a plug to the socket with occasionally a little bit heavy force, the card may be pushed out. I finally managed it to use the classic screws to fix it. 4. The fans come with 2-pin connectors. As a result, I can only connect them to the power adapter, instead of the motherboard, via which I can monitor and control the speed of case fans.
