Great Looking but LOUD
I purchased this case for its looks. And to that end it hasn't disappointed. In addition, for the most part it is pretty easy to maneuver around in. However, when I replaced my Antec P180 with this, the noise difference was immediate and disappointing. Also to my disliking, the hinged swing panels cannot be removed and sometimes hinders working with cable routing and such. Get ready to repurchase cabling as stock cable lengths will not suffice.
Pros: Looks great and good to work around in
Cons: LOUD, doors don't come off, need really long cables

If you plan on moving your case around, pick something else. If you want the biggest and baddest case out there, look no further. I had to pull the feet off to get this mammoth to fit under my desk (measure before buying) Pros: - Air Flow!! I have 10 X 120mm fans @ 79CFM (5 pulling - 5 pusshing)- No Overheating - Work Space - Nothing is cramped - Well thought out design. Easy to assemble. - Quality Parts - no sharp edges - Great cable management - cables can easily be hidden. - Looks very professional. Cons: - Don't think this is going to be a quick assembly. It is easy but took me 8 hours to get everything the way I wanted it. Would not make a good first case. - The cables that it come with are useless. You need 36" everything (SATA II, PATA, and Floppy cables) - Doors are a little flimsy, but after I finished building, I wont use them much. They are plastic and do not come all the way off, so you have to deal with them while you are building. They have to be snapped shut top and bottom (can't close it like a frigerator door) In summary this is a VERY expandable case and I would buy again in a heartbeat.
