At 100$ this would be a no brainer for most of the builds I make for myself and my friends, but because the price keeps jumping back up I sometimes have to chose another case and it's a shame because this one is silent, it's well built and it looks nice!

This is a nice, silent case. I love the cable routing and the drive bays. Cons: There is no provision from front USB3.0, I don't like the SSD mount, and the main case fan is not thermally controlled. It also irritates me that the power button is behind a door.
I bought 5 of these towers for a new build for my Dad. Couldn't be happier with the provided accessories and options. My next case will be one of these.

Simple case, elegant when the front is closed, but an unfinished interior by the optical drives gives a feeling of cheapness. I trust Antec power supplies, so the fact that this includes a 500w unit, even if not used with this case is a good positive.

Bought this for a budget desktop build because it came with a power supply. For the price I paid, it is a very good price especially since the power supply is decent enough to run low to mid tier setup.
I've got a power meter hooked up to my PC right now. With Prime95 and Furmark running I'm hitting about 450 watts. The air coming out of the power supply is still nice and cool, and the small fan is quieter than the case fan at the back.
