i'm planning in purchasing this case. does any one have any complaints about it? or care to share any good features?

Thanks
 
Is a great case, if i were you i'd get it if you have the cash, has great airflow and great space for upgrades, the only con is that there isn't a full tower model and that the fans aren't all that silent but other than that is a great case.

I'll leave you with fry link which is the cheaper price so far i've seen http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4991611
 
mines is still sealed in the box. i will open it tomorrow lol people complained about it being a flimsy case with cheap plastic. theres also the antec sonata III which caught my eye because it came with a pretty decent psu with 34amps dual rail
 
Ive heard that having the PSU mounted on bottom is bad for airflow and makes more cable clutter, think this is true?
 
Mine arrive yesterday. and over all its a great case. but there is one problem with it, it collecting dust faster then I can clean it. I love the top fan but I notice soon I will wand up cleaning my computer twice a week. since its the perfect place to suck in lots and lots of dust T_T.

Two words- Air filters. Just put some on all the fans. I have to on my case, doesnt impede airflow until they catch a LOT of dust.
 
yes my friends case evn though he's whole build is only 2 weeks old looks scratty as anything - gets very dusty and dirty
 
I saw how to make them in an issue of Maximum PC magazine. I think all you need to do (if i remember right) is cut out a peice of thin paper I.E paper towl or something, and just fit it over the fan and then mount the fan again, pretty simple. But like I said I am going off a sketchy memory. But that is the basic principle.

That just means more air:D
 
its a great case and apparently awesome for cooling but i think its really really ugly...like a big black cage...out of sight out of mind but if its going to be sitting on ur desk get somthing with a bit of style :) thats my opinion anyway everyones different

What Issue?
 
When deciding on a case for a new build that model came out shortly after buying the Areo Cool Aero Cool II model still in use here. It lacked the capacity for one or more large fans on the side seeing a vent only where you can mount a smaller 80mm by the looks of it. While looking for an alternative an Enermax model stands out for a much lower cost with a 25cm fan on the side cover and twin front 120s and one 120mm for rear. It also has more 3 1/2" drive bays. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811124116
 
don't use air filers. they clog and reduce air flow. use panty hose on the out side so you can just wipe dust off.
 
When going to clean any case you have to wipe down the blades on the fans installed as well as spray compressed air out of cans. Dust will cling like a magnet to them.
