Review: Excellent case - First time building a PC and I went with this case because I wanted something big and boxy without looking too fancy while also being sturdy and good quality. This is a ten year old design but I prefer the style and it comes with two 5.25 drive bays and one 3.5 drive bay which is something a lot of cases don't seem to have anymore. There was only one issue which wasn't really a problem in the end that being the instructions insist on using a particular screw but they just wouldn't go into the standoffs and I didn't think they were the right kind anyway so I used the other screws which are intended for hard drives and they worked fine. You get a bag with lots of screws and the case comes with a pre-installed fan on the back. Another thing I like about this case is that the PSU slot is on the top as it should be unlike some of the newer designs which place it on the bottom. Supposedly it's to reduce the strain because the heat isn't rising up and going through the PSU but having it on the bottom in my environment would clog it up with fluff in no time.
Review: An old design, but what I needed. - If you need a cheap case to hold 8 drives in proper bays, with sensible fan mounting points so you can keep them running cool, you can't do much better. Plus, there's optical drive bays as well, so with a couple of adapters that's 2 more. Mounts for 6 120mm fans. Plenty of room to work with and generally well finished. The downside is that it is an old design and it looks it. It's not an ugly case, but it has 2 optical drive blanks and a floppy drive blank on the front. That might matter to you. In my case I'm not too bothered as it sits under a desk as a home server. However, unlike newer cases, there's not much provision for cable management, either space or place, so it's damn near impossible to avoid a rat's nest if you have a lot of drives. The case is solid enough. It's light but not as bendy as the ultra-budget cases around. It has screws, cable-ties, and so on to get you going. If pennies are tight then go for it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good case
*by I***. on 6 August 2014*

After 2 months of use and abuse I can say that this is a 5 star case. It can accommodate all graphic cards as well as all heat sinks. Airflow wise it comes with an exhaust fan which is not enough for any new system but it has space for another 5 (it depends from the size). usb 3 at the front of the case and 2 usb 2 as well as 2 jacks.
