At first, this looked like another decent budget case. As I installed a machine in there, I found out otherwise. Normally I can deal with a few issues in budget cases... but this case has so many weird issues and design oddities it made my head spin.
This case is a bit big but that's not much of a con.
I would prefer if the case badge is a legit one right one the case and not some cheap sticker with a clear background. looks kind of ugly. no USB 3.0. How much more does it actually cost to implement it?

A decent case for a budget gamer. Lots of fan options (8 x 120mm possible) and cable management is above average for a sub $50 case. Only major issue I ran into was the bottom fan is too close to the PSU cables and the cables cannot be moved once the fan is installed. For $30 I don't think you will find a better case, it is comparable to $80 cases easily.

I bought this case a few days ago. I got a call from Purolator the next day to pick it up from their depot. Yeah, apparently Puroltaor doesn't deliver to your door anymore. It sucks, because I don't have a car and I had to work until today.
All in all, I am very pleased with the case so far. 10/10.

I found this to be a pleasant case to work in. All cases should come with 4 usb ports on top. good build quality but steel is a little thin. Got it for $30 on sale.

It's a decent case but overpriced - should sell for about $30. That's about what it's worth. Finished well and looks great but metal is extremely light gauge and won't stand up to any amount of knocking around. Another problem with the thin steel is the hard drive and dvd resonate like crazy. Plenty of room inside and lots of ventilation options. For not much more $$$ the Antec 300 is a better choice.
