I was looking at this case, but decided against it.

It has some very good features.
-It is strong
-it looks funky
-it can probably be modded easy
-it's P4 friendly
-it's cheap and you can buy it without a PSU or get a better one with it
-Alienware use it, so it can't be bad

However the cooling in the case is a little suspect and would need work. It gets hot for example if you leave the plate down. I have a video of the beige verson of this case if you want me to send it to you ( i think it's 3megs).
Also i have heard mixed reviews about how the bay mounting works (screwless style) in the case- at directron look at the customer reviews for the black, silver and beige versions of the case.

Gideontech did a review of the cases big brother Im at work, but i think this is the right link

Basically there are better cases, but it isn't bad-especially for the price.

damocles,

thanx for the feedback 🙂 i don't think heat should be much of a problem...i am only running a 750 duron right now. but if and when i do upgrade, a case mod will prolly help the cooling situations right? and besides....i already ordered it like 5 minutes ago, so i am rationing for every reason that is good 😛 patience is a virtue? ah shaddap!

You won't have a problem, just keep that door up and perhaps max out the fan options. I think if the price were higher, people would doubt the case less

Black cases just seem that little bit cooler than others 🙂

yeah, i agree...black cases are sweet. i tried to get my whole system black...the last piece was the monitor. a $3 can of paint should solve that problem 😛 again, thanxfor your feedback 🙂
