awesome case. but the 5.25" drive rails are pain to install. The front cover has to be removed :(.

There are two buttons on the side the you push in, and the front cover plops off. I don't see how hard that is. And the 5.25 in rails screw into the drive instead of the drive screwing onto the case. I don't see how this is any harder or more work than a normal case, if not easier.

he's just nit-picking. there are cases (i.e. sonata) that don't require you to take off the the front cover when installing a drive. the openings have room on the sides for the rails to slide in.

Here's a similar case for $38. Shipping for me is $16.49 so I guess it makes it about the same price. About the only difference I saw was that the Antec case had side panel vents where this one doesn't.
I have this particular case that I purchased from Jim at Coolcases.com that was modded to my specs.
Personally, I like it.
I don't think one could go wrong with either.

Looks like aluminum not steel! the Antec is a steel case.

The Compucase is steel. In fact, the same factory makes both the Compucase and the Antec. I have a larger version of this same Compucase and like it quite a bit. The air filter on the front, under that silver grille, really works unlike the filter on my Sonata which seems to let lots of dust in. Can't go wrong.

It's definitely steel. I got one sitting here right beside me. I gotta put my truss on before I pick it up! j/k :D
