Has anyone tried out these cases? I bought one for a friend's computer and I was very impressed. The case is very spacious and cooling friendly. One of the best features is that it comes with a blowhole. The from bezel has good intake unlike most cases I see nowadays. The front of the case has room for 4 80mm fans and the back has 2 spots open for 2 80mm exhaust fans. The only thing that I have to complain about are the buttons on the front. The quality of the constuction was not as good as I hoped because the buttons and the wiring connecting them is just held by hot glue. I'm sure those modder freaks out there can probably rig something that is more secure. Also this case is the perfect candidate for people who want to cut the intake and exhaust holes and replace them with fan grills. With a little work this can be one of the best cases to come along recently. I bought it at the local computer fair (Buena Park & Pomona) for 45 bucks with 300w power supply.

For a cheap case, it seems to have excellent cooling possibilities. There's room for a lot of fans, but is there any way for fresh air to get in the front of the case? From the position of the switches and LED, it seems like you really can't clear that area out to let fresh air in.

How is the case (sturdy, any sharp edges, stuff like that)?

The edges on the case were not a problem. They could have been rounded in some areas but for the most part the edges were rounded. The air flows into the case from the holes on the from which I thought were clearly visable. The case itself it as sturdy as the enlight cases, but The faceplate sturdiness of the power/reset button is my only complaint.
