Top notch cool Case.......2007-04-27

I picked up this case from another vender. It is slick. Power supply supports PCI express. Cables are plenty long for any install. Mother board tray comes out.. With two 120MM fans no one needs a side window fan. Metal walls are powdered coated. I set up a Raid 5 server on this case and I planning a second machine to use this case. It is a big case but It supports my needs. 5 5 1/4 external bays, 2 3 1/2 external bays and 5 3 1/2 internal bays. There is a $20 rebate posted at Frys for the Case till 4/30/07 reguardles of where the case is purchased.

Shake Rattle and Roll, a cheap case that looks good........2006-09-29

The product images are incredible. You feel like you are buying a high end server case that is solid metal.

Unfortunately, the case is made of thin guage aluminum and with the side cover of, you can actually flex the case by giving it a slight push. Additionally several metal pieces are touching each other with no bolt, this means as fan components spin up they can cause vibration and uneeded noise.

No door latches, a great feature for modders who need to quickly open the case without unscrewing bolts.

Without purchasing right angle SATA cables, you cannot mount SATA drives facing the clear door on the case. I had to mount my drives in reverse to give the cables enough room.

The entire front door panel is plastic. I do not like plastic front doors because they tend to vibrate over time. Additionally the entire frame of the front door can open, adding yet more places for the plastic to vibrate while the case is in operation.

When purchasing this case, remember to purchase two 120mm fans. You will need them to get the air moving.

The only redeeming quality of the case is the 3.5" drive bays. You can mount a total of 7 3.5" drives into this case. A Sata Raid junkie's dream.

Unless you really need a case that can hold seven hard drives, purchase something else. The noise this case makes under operation will run any serious gamer away.
