I bought the highly rated CM Stacker 830 a couple months back and praised it in my review here:
http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=37&threadid=1809297&enterthread=y
However after using it for a couple months now I'm just SICK of it.
-The doors unlike other reviews do NOT go on and off very easily.
-The cards did not seat properly without using very small washers under the standoffs in the PCI slot area hence causing mild stress on the m/b.
-Cable management just BLOWS.
-The Crossflow fan in my review lasted like 3 weeks before failing.
-The screws that hold cards in place are back behind the chassis out of reach without backing the motherboard tray out.
-It's a heavy beast to move around.
-With so many fans it gathers enough dust to for a desert sand storm.
-One of the hinges broke already.
For how big this beast is you would expect more hand room inside it like working on a 350 in a 69' Camaro engine compartment... well since the cable management sucks so bad the extra space turns into mish mosh of cables.
Yeah the airflow is bar none but I think I'm in the market yet again for something a little more conservative.
