After having gone tested many of the sub $100 cases out there, I am thoroughly disappointed. Sure the lights and windows are cool, but when it comes down to it they are not sturdy at all and have limited cooling abilities.

I'm gonna get this case because it is professional looking and solid as a rock. I also want good cooling and this one seems pretty good. Anyone out there have this case and willing to comment on it? Anyone have the grey version? In the pictures it seems a bit greenish on the side panels and stuff, so i think i might go with silver instead. How does silver look with black drives?

I have the dark gray ATC-710 and it's definitely not "greenish". It's a solid color, non-metallic very dark gray. Here's a pic. Note that I painted my drives to match the case.

It's a very sturdy case with good ventalation but are you aware that it's actually the exact same case as an Antec S10x0 series case but with an aluminum front bezel? It certainly looks better than the stock Antec cases but physically it's the same as an Antec case.

The only part of the silver version that's actually silver is the front bezel. The rest of the case is the same very dark gray as the gray version.

If you're going to get this case the cheapest place I've found is SundialMicro.com for $106. They're local to us down in Walnut and they let me will-call the case so I didn't have to pay shipping.

I have that case too. Very professional looking. It's heavy, but not as heavy as some other cases out there. I recommend it.
