This is one of the ideal instances I have accomplished a create with, and I have constructed over 30 computer systems, all for high finish gaming. The lights on the front panel look totally awesome when it's dark, and it stays incredibly cool, comes with about 7 case fans. Has a lot of room for additional HDD's and Optical drive. Has lots of area for larger finish cards like the 5870 and the GTX 260. It is fairly heavy even though. None that I can consider of, priced properly and built effectively. Don't attempt and save ฮ by acquiring a run-of-the-mill Rosewill case, this one is amazing! Worth every penny. |

Great Case, It was specifically what it said it was going to be, it functions perfectly. The front LEDs appear even better in true life. But it took forver to get to me. I was undertaking a create for a client and set a date, the client was gifting the custom constructed computer system as a present a handful of days soon after i would have built it. So it was ordered on the 1st of june, and go here on time around the 4th along with the rest of the construct parts, i started the build when 5 minutes into it i realized the giant dent on leading of the case. So newegg waa good with sending it back, but send me on a goose chase to get this ting shipped out, way too substantially function and i even had to pay ups to ship it!(well pick it up even believed it was dropped off a store). It took much longer then they stated it would and the case came back about 2 weeks later, the construct was provided late and the gift was late. General it made me look undesirable and was a terrible predicament all together, and the box was best so the dent was from the factory. came dented, lot of work to get new a single appears great.....genuinely want raidmax had a much better top quality handle when shipping products..but the new a single is best so 5 eggs..just Raidmax triggered me quite alot of problems |

I totally enjoy this case. I don't will need to paint it to make it look wonderful. Good styling like the lighted "teeth" and bar in front and window on the side. My son and I really like all the lights.Fairly quiet with the big fans. Quite a few areas for fans where required. The tool-much less racks save so substantially time.Both sides of the case fold out and are removable enabling fantastic access to components.Most wires and cables are easy to hide from the window. For the case, none I can discover.The SATA energy connectors are on a single line from the provide and about six inches apart, so they can't be used to connect both an optical drive and a challenging drive unless you use tough drive rails and a 5.25" bay or a molex/SATA adapter. Neither of which are included in this case and are really hard/impossible to uncover in shops but are on Newegg. I do wish the door had a latch or lock to keep my toddler out, which is the major cause why I bought a case with a door. So you know, it is surprisingly heavy, 30 lbs by itself. The integrated power supply has wires for the mainboard that aren't long sufficient to allow the case door to foldout all the way when plugged in. No big deal, just be aware. |

Great value at this value point. Strong steel construction. Great ventilation. Tool-absolutely free drive installation. An acrylic windows that doesn't really feel like it's going to crack if you breathe incorrect on it. Fold-out motherboard tray. Feels like a substantially far more high priced case. Not sufficient to eliminate an egg, but the cables from the included energy provide can't attain the motherboard tray when folded out. Then again...if they have been longer, exactly where would you put all that stuff and make it look fantastic as soon as it's closed up. Didn't have concerns with fan noise, front door magnets, or LED's like I've noticed in other reviews. |

Wonderful Case and vey straightforward to set up the board and other hardware. The energy supply burned out soon after a year and a half. This was properly worth purchasing, and it has endured heavy use for a year and a half. Only the energy supply had situation, and that wasn't till a year and a half of use. |

Quite cool style led design and style, incredibly great air circulation absolutely none! the fan may be tiny loud if you are going to place it appropriate beside you on the desk. make confident you obtain a male to female molex splitter if you are going to: acquire a lot more fans, use a 2xmolex to 1x8 pin cpu connetor, use graphic card that needs energy cable. |

This case is complete of win. Green is not my point but every thing else is. Mobo side folds out, Window side folds out, Comes with a accessory box. Has a removable GPU cooler side fan, and is a huge tower that can accompany most massive CPU coolers. The 500w power supply works like a champ for me, as well. If you do a lot (I dont) of cd rom in/out. USB in/out, then you may want one particular without having a front door. Nonetheless the fantastic far out weighs the undesirable on this case. |

Lots of room and straightforward toolless set up. Appears nice with green LEDs. Break away covers for card slots on back and for bays in front ore tough to get out. I have built a couple of machines and this case not only appears nice but produced my create easy. No bloody fingers or cuts from reaching in at weird angles, plenty of space for expansion and the drop down side panes produced installing the mobo a breeze. |

Green led's appear amazing, The steel gives it a good and sturdy feeling. Two side doors make installation uncomplicated. Great airflow. Opening the front panel is annoying, but not that big of a deal. The SATA power cords were a small short so i had to place the disk drive on the bottom slot to get it to reach. This was my very first develop and this case created it simple. Appear out there is a secret slot for the screws underneath the challenging drive spots took me a even though to come across that. |

Purchased and assembled approx. Nov. 2007 and is nonetheless running powerful on exact same PSU and elements in Oct. 2010~Foldout trays had been incredibly well designed, particularly the handles.~"Dirk Tooth" did a wonderful job holding graphics card in place, granted i utilised soon after-market place thumbscrews as backup.~Front door panel was good if placed on a tough surface, mind you a case really should never be on carpet anyways*cough*~HDD bay, I loved that it rotated out. which if cabled in an organized manner was almost as nice as side/"back" facing HDD bays.~Optical drive, HDD and floppy drive bays tool-less design and style and locks have been wonderful high quality, especially the metal HDD brackets.~PSU is far more than sufficient for the create i had in it at the time. Quite couple of cons IMO all of which were circumstantial.~The Sata cables when, also frequently, rearranged became somewhat brittle and the upper plate of the connector gradually snapped off generating a lack of contact. Thoughts you this was soon after altering the cabling about 20 instances more than the course of a year.~Dirk Tooth, although it is a great concept and properly implemented. the locking pins have been just the ideal spacing to not really fit my specific GPU*XFX 9600 GSO* in a way that the pins would either not hold it atall, or in my case of utilizing far also much force, Snap off. Granted in its justification, they match my second card GTx* perfectly. I would once again like to exalt this case for its construction high quality, PSU, and intuitive/utilitarian design and style attributes.The PSU did an astounding job powering a heavy build which incorporated; 5 Sata HDDS, a single IDE and one Sata DVD Burners. An XFX 9600 GSO Overclocked and a Core 2 Quad Overclocked.All of these parts running usually at full load whilst encoding etc. with no any concerns. This computer system is now in the hands of a new owner and nevertheless burning robust |

Every little thing is straightforward and laid out. The motherboard foldout tray was extremely helpful and saved about 10-15 minutes of frustrating wiring and finagling with all my parts (tends to get a small clustered in there with crossfired video cards). The back and front covers that you pop out for the CD drives and expansion ports pop out with ease, and greatest of all NO SHARP EDGES! The case also comes with a tool case that hides under the HDD/FDD mounts. Raidmax put a lot of thought into the case when it comes to gamers. The airflow of the case is quite good, better than my Xion. The right side fan is also pretty cool and helps preserve my tough drives cool. So far temperatures at idle of most of my components appear to be a handful of degrees cooler. Fairly quiet, but I put my own fans in. Construction appears sturdy and of higher high quality, except the front door, which is a little flimsy.The Case also looks fantastic. Everytime I walk into my room I quit and recall that I have a new case haha. - Only one Really hard Drive Bay... why..?- Flimsy door- No space for wiring options. I'm actually awful at wiring point's neatly, but obtaining no space to genuinely shove any of the added wires doesn't enable. Atleast in my Xion I could hide some of my wires behind the mobo mount. This is by far the ideal personal computer case I've ever worked with. Very uncomplicated to work with, wonderful airflow and the case appears fregin amazing. - BTW, didn't use the energy provide that came with it. I place my Corsair GS600 in instead. Raidmax isn't known for power supplies, but I wouldn't count it out. |

This was my initially laptop case acquire as aspect of my initial pc develop, so it holds a particular aspect in my heart :)This case is quite robust and heavy. The steel does not buckle below stress (very handy when screwing points into the case, like the power supply). The green light is quite distinctive.The tool chassis that comes with this case is quite handy, and I wish my other instances had the exact same. The energy supply did not have the proper connectors for my Gigabyte motherboard, so I had to obtain a new PSU (PSU with this unit has 1 4pin motherboard connector, not an eight-pin like I necessary). The reinforcement bar across the middle of the plexiglass is in the way. I have to move it each time when doing something in the case itself. It also has a fan attached which signifies wires are everywhere. There is completely practically nothing incorrect with this case, and in reality its much better than other cases I have now bought. However, I do not assume I would obtain it again. It actually comes down to the tiny issues and the value proposition. This case has a front door that requirements to be opened to put in discs or turn the pc on. Opening it every time you go to turn the pc on our place in a dvd/blu-ray disc is annoying. As noted above, I under no circumstances essentially utilised the energy supply. I will by no means obtain a case with a power provide attached once again, barring enormous financial limitations.I also dont like the cut-out case pieces in the back. My subsequent laptop case will have the capacity to reattach the metal pieces in the back so that I can freely add and take away hardware with out leaving an ugly opening in the back of the case.Ultimately, if you take into consideration shipping, I think that far better cases exist for the money, pure and simple. |

Case looks sick. Quite user friendly. Descent cable management. side fan for hdd I bought a corsair h50 sealed liquid cooled technique for my cpu. The rail that comes with this case to minimize movement of your graphic card will not match with it. It will if you mod the rail a bit. If you equip a push/pull 鲸mm, radiator렐mm) you will have to remove it fully. The 80 mm side fan will catch on the (push) 120mm and you have to work to get the side closed. this isnt actually a con, much more of a heads up if you decided on the H50 or H70 in particular. i changed all the fans and went with two green 80mm fans(one for every side of the case) three purple/uv 120mm. uv green sata cables, uv blue cable sleeving. 1 15inch green cold cathode and 1 12 inch uv cathode for an eyepleasing effect. i would say acquire this case but look into a fan modded heatsink. |

Great case for gaming, its a unique style of side panel. The motherboard mounted to the door is wonderful for an uncomplicated setup and upgrade, was shipped in1 day and arrived at my door prepared to go the day following it was ordered. if you upgrade to a larger heat sink the motherboard side door will not open all the way but other than that its fantastic. |

Simple access. I genuinely appreciate operating with cases exactly where the side panels fold down (especially with the motherboard on them). It just makes operating on them and installing so substantially much easier. No massive deal but anytime I open the door on the front, it tends to swing back shut. Could be just an imperfection in the table that I am making use of. Energy supply could have had a couple of additional SATA cables. |

I have had two of these cases one in Blue and a single in Green, I have upgraded these instances a number of occasions with higher finish MoBo's and elements. A lot of area and excellant cooling energy. Very major and lots of room for a mid tower case. good searching as well. This case is about to be updated once more. NONE If you like style and cooling then this is a wonderful 1st time builders case for the dollars or even for the pro builder. |
Very good searching, very functional case. A lot of space for hardware, and fans to retain it all runnung cool. It was really simple to get anything together, and up and running in no time. I'm obtaining a different of the similar for my next construct. Energy provide needs to be larger than 500 watts. It's like pulling a 25' boat behind a full size pickup truck with a four cylinder engine. A smoky predicament forced me to upgrade my power provide to a additional respectible 750 watts. I use an Asus Motherboard and run a Pentium dual core three.6GHz processor, dual BFG video cards, dual DVD writers, a floppy drive, a card reader and four 750GB hard drives. I run a CPU fan and five case fans.
