Just to update my post ............. in case anyone else is interested in the Min Maw 3752 case:

So far, I like it, for an inexpensive case/psu it's a nice looking unit and very roomy inside.
It's plastic over metal (left side cover is all heavy plastic)..... right side cover is heavy plastic with a thin metal RF shield, top is plastic over metal .... so it should be relatively quiet, compared to others.
I didn't like the quick-release drive bays....(until I started installing the drives) actually, they work pretty slick, no drive rails to install, just screw in two special shouldered screws in the front holes on each of your drives, pop in the drive, then use a regular screw at the rear to keep the drive secured, so it won't rattle.
The case will accept two 80mm fans- one up front - one in the rear, there is room for four 3.5" drives (2-internal, 2-external) and the supplied psu is the 300W Enhance 1125BTA R300 ....... (even though the ad read "No Power Supply")?
The mb installs with just three screws (closest to the I/O shield) the other six, are plastic quick-lock studs.
The USB front panel is handy, and the connector cable just plugs into the mb.

To sum up: I wouldn't put this case in the same league with the Antec SX Series, but for an inexpensive, roomy ATX mid-tower it's quite a bargain for $40. (or so) from NewEgg, and one of the easiest case's to build that I have used.

There is a front air vent (just to the right) under the bottom 3.5" bay (running vertically) down to about where the USB connectors are.
It's not visible in the photo, there is a protruding edge in the front case contour that sticks out enough to allow some venting.
If you look at the close-up picture of the USB ports (at NewEgg), ....... you can see the shadows from the vents.
Also there is a large lower vent, just under the front plastic bezel that's the same spot you grab when removing the front cover.
A few holes (16 ea.) in the little burst design on the lower bezel.
