Silverstone Tek Full Tower Reinforced Plastic Outer Case with Window Side Panel and 2X USB3.0 Front Ports Case

Amazon does a good job on these fascinating products which are already out of production. I've been looking for this case for quite a while though I know it is no longer in production. I found it was also on sale on BestBuy who says that they would have to call the product from some other merchant's stockroom. Same price, but it would usually be shipped within 3-5 days, and the shipping would be about 30 dollars. Then I was glad to find that Amazon is still selling this product while it is getting fewer and fewer. And the shipping is quite cheap.

Have 2 CPUs and 2 liquid cooling units. This thing only has 1 180mm fan slot! Had to cut holes in this to get a second one to fit. Cheap plastic case and it had scratches all over it like it was kicked around before being put in the box. Can provide pictures.

The case is attractive and has some nice features. However, the case was supposed to be USB 3.0 and it was "USB 3.0 Ready", meaning you get a cable that works with USB 2.0, and maybe at some point a USB 3.0 adapter will be available for purchase. The panels are not easily removed and replaced (you have to wrestle with it a bit). The side panel window was scratched and not of high quality acrylic. There is not much customization available to modders (drive bays are riveted, etc). Another complaint, only one 3.5" drive bay has the hardware for a hot swappable SATA drive. The 5 1/4 inch bays are supposed to be easily locked in, however you pretty much have to guess where the screw holes are in order to engage the lock. It was far more complicated than just putting a screw or two in (and you still have to open the case, as there are no connectors in the back of the bay). Almost all of the cool features are hype.The case itself has some odd limitations including a difficult to use back plane for wire management. There are only a couple of holes to push all of your wires through, and the ones on the left hand side are covered up by the motherboard (weird placement).The best and IMHO only redeeming feature is the overall agressive look of the case. I do also like being able to pop off the top and have access to the ports and connectors that would normally be on the back of the computer.Too bad as I really wanted to love it. I prefer my Cooler Master tower cases over this by a large margin.

This thing is heavy, bulky, and you would think it would have a ton of space inside but not so much. Cord management is rubbish, extra fans are needed or else you will fry your hardware (for me it was my graphics card.) Really there just isn't enough airflow, the intake areas are small and not reasonably placed to meet the needs of a set up made for gaming. I would have liked more removable filters because cleaning the angled silly small intake areas are a pain in the butt. If you are looking for a giant talking piece, this hits it's mark, people always comment on how big it is and how much space it takes up (again for airflow clearance). Upside, it's a tank, it's very sturdy and has convenient hand holds. It is also really easy to access because the side panels come off with quick release latches.
