- Awesome Case
Looks like a computer, not a space ship, yet still has all the features a performance modder wants.I installed a second fan in the front and it's still quiet.One thing though, the fan in the rear that came with it is a two wire powered from the power supply...Not a mobo controlled/controllable fan.So I replaced it as well so the mobo would stop posting fan failure and so it could vary the speed according to load.Other than that it's awesome, love the lockable door over the drives and power ...

I have to admit that I bought this case because it was suggested to me by a"build your own computer" website.When it arrived, I was in love.However, since I have now decided to go with an I7 chip set, it will require more than simply the generic CPU heatsink.The bottom line is that the case may not be wide enough at 8.1".Other than that, I have no problems with it at all.Antec does it again!
Rating: - Everything is great except for the door
I don't see any major issues with this case.The door is a bit annoying though.I really feel that one could do without it, especially in a home setting where you really don't need to use the lock.
Rating: - Great case, truly quiet, but Amazon used inadequate packing.
Beautiful case. This is my second one. I was so impressed with the beauty and silence that I decided to buy another one to replace an existing Antec case I've had for a couple of years.
Contrary to another review here the finish is black gloss (with plastic front swing door) and beautiful. Extrememly quiet, especially if the lowest fan speed is selected. Very easy to work on. The power supply has ample wiring connections for everything imaginable and good cable lengths also.

Rating: - Great product
The case is perfect. Nice looking, quiet, awesome powersupply. The only issue I have with it is the power button. In order to turn the PC on you have to open the top side door, then when the PC goes on I have to close it back. I wish the power button was available somewhere else so I don't have to open/close the door each time. But don't let that stop your purchase, as this item is a great deal!
