Conclusion

I'm a firm believer in having a good base in which to start, and with this cases downfalls, I'd pick a different victim. Even if you got the cooling acceptable in this case (with a good chunk of dremeling), the other drawbacks ( like the possessed front door#@!) and the rediculous hard drive cage would be enough to make you leave the dremel in standby and home in on another target for destruction. I've honestly sat back and just gaved at this case for awhile thinking to myself "how can I be so negative about his case? There's gotta be something good about it!" Well, there is something good about it, unfortunately, it's on the wrong case. The front door/fascia is of exceptionally machined quality. However, it's on the wrong case. It kinda makes me think of 24" "Dubs" on a `87 Nissan Sentra. It does it make it any better, just more rediculous.

I honestly can't think of a single reason to purchase this case. Even if it was half it's current price. One suggestion though, if you found yourself with this case, you could probably melt down all that aluminum from the front and make a real nice case outta that. Even the power button kept lodging behind the fascia! ACK!#@!

I'm gonna avoid the obligitory "pros" and "cons" list this time, since I feel it would be entirely one sided. If you've read this entire review, you get the idea. There's far better cases out there for your hard earned cash, that are excellent cooling machines in stock form, and they're much better designed and built. I can't believe they even make cases with 60mm fans anymore, but this beauty has two of them. ugh!. I'd even recommend the Demon Case over this one, and I didn't like the Demon Case....heh. What boggles my mind even more is all the "best built case on the market" and "design awards" for this mess of a case. I want whatever they're smoking cuz it must be damn good. This case gets one award from me-- "Biggest Waste Of Aluminum"

You get the point. Don't waste your money. If you're new to case shopping, give me an shout and I'll help you find a great case for your budget. Email me Anytime! , I'll point you in the right Directron, oops Directron! ;)

Sticky Power Button!#@!

If aluminum in general is your thing, and you want really want a top notch case, I'd suggest either upgrading to the super-expensive Silverstone Temjin TJ03 Nimiz Case that Wolfie recently reviewed, or maybe just checking out Directrons Massive Aluminum Case Section for something more in your budget ;) I'm not really an aluminum fanboy so I'd also check out the complete case section at Directron for non-aluminum cases.

BOTTOM LINE: NOT RECOMMENDED!
