Pros:
The exceedingly low price. While nice and more feature rich (read: tool-less) towers exists, they often go for double, triple and quadruple the price.
Lots of expansion slots
Side window is nice touch
HD audio support
120 mm fan slots (front, side) rather than 92 or 80 mm fan slots (larger fans move more air with fewer rotations, resulting in lower energy costs and less heat generated)
Comes with one 120 mm fan which blows around 44 CFM
Nice looking color scheme
Cons:
Not tool-less
No features for wire management
No front firewire (minor for vast majority of people)
PCI covers are attached by single use metal connector
Other:
Steel pressure pads for hard drives
Power supply slot is located on top rather than bottom
Only three fan slots, no ceiling fan slot
Due to position of hard drive slots get right angle SATA cables rather than flat SATA cables but this common in many cases today
Ending Thoughts:
Overall, I’m exceedingly pleased with this case.

I received my package on 01-14-2010 and to my surprise,it came well packaged.Amazon did an outstanding job of putting the main box into a larger box with ample packing materials so there was no damage at all.”EXCELLENT WORK AMAZON.COM”.
This computer case is well constructed and sturdy and the material was not in the least flimsy as other cases that I bought for the same money.I like the clear side and will add a cathode case lamp.I have not installed anything as yet.The only slight con is that the 3.5 hard drive cage sits facing out and is effectively blocking the 120mm front intake fan from blowing air into the case.This will not be a problem though as I will be using a Serial ATA hard drive mobile rack in one of the 5.25 bays that will allow me to use different hard drives and a backup hard drive in the 3.5 bay.
Get this case!!!!

Plenty of space to work with.Like other revier said no aid in wire control but I used a twist tie just to get the wires out of the way of moving parts. you have to use some screws for the dvd/cd drive to set in place. has room for about 4 hard drives,4 dvd/cd drives and 1 zip drive .The tower came with one fan (u can put a 2nd one in too).but one is good for me.has plenty of holes for ventilation.

I bought one of these and shortly after, my cousin did as well. We managed to transfer his Gateway computer over to this case with no problems whatsoever and I’ve started my own build as well. The price and positive reviews drew me to this case and I’m completely satisfied. I recommend this case to anybody, including beginners.
WARNING:
I’ve heard people having trouble with the front audio ports being dead. There are TWO connectors, AC 97 and HD Audio. READ YOUR MOTHERBOARD MANUAL and make sure you are hooking up the right one! We had the same issue until hooking up the proper connector.
Also, if your hard disk activity light isn’t blinking, you probably have the pin connectors on the mobo backwards so just switch them.
