I have a blue one of these cases, also bought here, and like it. I've been waiting for another sale.

Pros
- It is a little longer than a older Qpack.
- No doors over the drives
- Not gaudy
- Cools decently (Brisbane 3600 undervolted idles at 26/27F in mine)
- nice with a zillion in one card reader in the external 3.5" bay
- If use one 5.25" bay, I can put another dive in the extra 5.25" bay using ears
- standard Seasonic PSU fits

Cons
- You must use a factory or low profile heatsink, or mod the case
- I don't use the handle, trusty?
- unknown quality of 400W PSU included
- it takes time and care to install the thermal probe, duct taped to CPU card against CPU edge
- don't know what video cards fit inside

Shipping to South FL is $9.85.

NOTE: I had to call for rebate, their link is dead. They will email it to you in few minutes.

I have this case and quite like it. I think the windows on the side are stupid. Although I too worry about the handle... I don't use it often, but when I do, it does feel fine... It feels better with a loaded case than it did empty.

i have the case and i find it far too flimsy in build. the aluminum is way too pliable and warps with the slightest pressure. also, the feel of the aluminum does something to me, sorta like when you run finger nails against a chalkboard. but that's just me. :/

I used one of these and with a free matx ecs pos motherboard and an old agp TI4600 and some 30 dollar ram I was able to basically build a decent gaming rig around 100 bucks which was mostly processor-E2140


Great PC for a nephew who needed some cheering up.
