im looking into buying one of these. they look nice and all but the $85 price tag scares me. I hear you get what you pay for when it comes to cases so are these things well made or flimsy pieces of junk.

It's solidly built, but, see those little black plastic things in the hard drive cage? That's what's supposed to hold the hard drives. They're really flimsy and stupid.

OMFG, This is the case to love. i got this and immedediatley i felt that i had to seriously *make luv* to this. man i swear, get this case. Its large, super solidly built, heavy like a ****, super duper solid dude. the usb/audio/esata ports or on top with helps alot. it has a very stealhty 'Don't you dare even **** with me, ill tear ur ass off' type attitude. it comes witha blue LED fan in the front which makes it look good. THe best air cooling u can get in my opinion. there is a socket to place a fan directly under your cpu, bringing temps down. has a predriilled hole made for a possible later water cooling kit. it has room to rout wires under the mobo, the psu is on the bottom, and there are a total of 7(??) places for fans. placed in really cool positions. and it has rubberized feet, so basically u wont be moving this thing without picking it up. so much fund to work with, so clean and neat inside. buy this dude, totaly worth it.

i got it at Frys Electronics for 79$

I myself love the case. I just got done with my first build and this was the case I chose. Very easy on the eyes, pretty quiet, and was very easy to work with for a first timer. Oh, and plenty of room.

get the CM centurion 590

Same thing, better positioned fans, and the USB ports start button etc are in a nicer position
