Default Picked up a centurion 5 today...

It was on sale at comp usa, and got it for $41 with tax. Great deal. What are your experiences with this case and any issues if any? the fans that came with it don't look that great and I plan on adding a few more possibly adding a 120mm fan at the top. I plan to start building my new computer tommorow and I am worried about mounting the heatsink. I have a artic cooling freezer 7 pro. should I install the heatsink before or after I mount the mobo?

They are pretty good, I have built with 3 of them... Install the heatsink before mounting the mobo... Just to be on the safe side, I really can't name any issues, one of mine had a jagged edge and that cut me That's about all

I had one too, on my previous build. A really good case for the price. Only issue I had was that when I was building it and I had the front panel taken off the case, it feel and hit something, and being aluminum it bent. I bent it back though, and it's not really noticeable unless you're looking for it. So yeah, just be careful with it, as some of it is aluminum and bends easily.

I love that case. I had it on one of my builds about two years back and was amazing. Lots of room to work, screwless design, very good airflow; all around good case. You will definitly be happy with it.
