This is a nice case. Perfect for a media center, or a person in need of a PC tower that doesn’t take up a lot of space.
Pros are the many vents, and the ability to place the tower vertical or horizontal. Has a large fan, doesn’t spin all that fast, but it really doesn’t need to being so big.
Cons are it’s a tight fit for a full size board, but it will fit. Large graphics cards fit, but it’s tight. Any graphics card with a fan that extents 2ins past the top of board will not fit in case. So getting it all in there was a pain, but the case is so nice to look at.
I bought one, and then decided to buy one more after building the first.

Good case for my HTPC, fit nicely in my stereo enclosure. Knocked off a star for the cheesy logo, and if you remove it, you leave an open hole. Also didn’t care for the break away expansion card covers. All in all a quality product with all the necessary screws and mounting rails. Can’t beat the price!

Used for HTPC build, excellent case and nice layout. accepts ATX boards and PSU. as other reviewers mentioned, be careful with the parts as some full size graphic cards and PSU’s might not fit.
case has good ventilation and has an extra 120mm fan. I actually like the front PSU location as wiring makes it easier but gets too close to the PCI parts. price is low and comes with free UPS shipping!

This is a decent case, I guess. I bought it to build a modest HTPC and it was good for that because it sat desktoppy style and towerey style.
The pros: Looks pretty good. Sleek-ish.
The cons: Not much space, wacky power supply location, flimsy-ish. My front USB header has a short or something and wacks out the PC if I even try to plug it in, so no front USB. Oh yeah, the stick on rubber feet suck if you ever plan to touch or to move your computer,
Overall: Good if you can live with the bad.

I’m very impressed with the quality per price of this case. Is is the greatest quality? No. Is it worth fourty usd with free shipping? Oh Yes. Especially considering the cost of most HTPC cases.
This case uses a full size ATX motherboard and full size ATX power supply. Which is nice for anyone with an old full size mobo just laying around that wants to build a HTPC. The case is reasonably small, but the dimensions don’t match my stereo receiver. The case can rest on top of the receiver and not fall off, but it does have some overlap. I put in full size components (mobo/powersupply), including a fanless MSI 6800GT video card with a large passive cooler on top. It fit, but the video card was reasonably close to the cables coming out of the power supply, and routing the cables was a slight challenge, but feasible. Overall I am very pleased and I can’t emphasis enough how pleased I am at the price point.
Pros:
Low cost
Fits full size ATX motherboard and ATX powersupply
Reasonably Small size
Aesthetically pleasing
Front USB
No bright lights! (important for a HTPC)
Included 120mm fan (at least quieter than my cpu fan which is stock)
Included pieces for mounting drives
Lots of vents, ability to add more fans
Well packaged by amazon.com (no dents, etc)
Ability to stand on side or upright.
Cons:
Can’t really think of any…
Too Small for some oversized video cards?
A little flimsy, but given the price, I can’t really complain.
