I went from a heavy large metal case to this medium fella. Honestly, it was meant to just hold an old PC together, but I have to give it a lot of credit. It's sturdy, despite being light and using what feels like stiff plastic in many parts. What really impressed me though, is that I didn't dust it for a year, and it barely collected any dust internally. That's a huge boon. Just make sure you use those dust covers it comes with. To top it off, the LEDs are simple and easy to use. Just a button press on the front panel to control, and no elaborate press patterns to simply switch through functions.So yes, highly recommend for the price. If I had to name one detriment, it's that the glass side panel isn't hinged to the box, but instead is held on by 4 screws. That's debatably a gain, so just consider yourself informed.

Fantastic case for the price with plenty of room for massive CPU air coolers. PSU basement is a huge plus for cable management. This case is made tinted tempered glaas which looks fantastic as i was going for the showy unicorn vomit build. I also like that the front panel IO allows you to change RGB patterns as well so I'm not stuck with rainbows all the time. Tons of ssd mounts and 1 drive bay for a HDD. Has plenty of room for decent cable management on rear side of case.Ok now for the included case fan rant because this fan sounds like a jet engine and I had to run it molex so basically its running full speed all the time. I will likely replace it in the future however for now i can deal with it. If you're going for a silent build you will definitely want to replace that rear stock exhaust fan.

I did a lot of research on cases and found this company to have a great service and warranty record as well as a great product.This item is available in Beige from Antec but I was not able to locate one elsewhere and settled for the grey/black one here at Amazon. I love the interior and the exterior of this case in that there are no sharp corners or edges anywhere. The case was clean and it was supplied with all the needed components including a manual, 4 keys, nuts and bolts bag, spare mobo stand-offs and a name plate "Antec" if you wanted to place it on the front. The 400 watt power supply is plenty for most SOHO. 2 Fans are included in the rear panel and I noticed Antec offers upgraded fans on their website. I would have asked for their thermostat designed case fans but it is not offered on a new case purchase. I will place the included fans up front, and purchase thermostatic fans in the rear for starters. Probably in the near future, Antec will change out the power supply exhaust fans to the newer trend of a single 12CM or even the 14CM thermostatic fan design. They move more air with less noise which assists blowing out any heat below the power supply. I love this case completely. When Windows XP is running and you want to turn off the computer, this power supply (I presume) first will log out of Windows XP and automatically shuts down then, turns off the power. Just as if you were there doing Start/Turn Off Computer/Turn Off. This is not in the instruction book but it does do this.Thanks to Amazon needs mentioned too as I would have paid more for this item any place else as currently this item ships for $15 and Amazons price with shipping beat all of the others.

Love the features of this case, and I bought 2 others at the same time. This one was by far my favorite for:1. Looking cool2. Great cable management3. Real glass case side instead of plasticUnfortunately it arrived with part of the case cracked. I was able to push it back mostly into place from the inside but there is a chunk missing. I still think this was a better value than the other 2 cases, hopefully this was just a fluke.
