It is a nice case, the shipping is cheap, all aluminum as stated in the ad. Buy it now while it is on sale. Definitely worth the money, do a search in hot deals for more info.

The one at xpcgear is nice too, a little heaveir, rails for drives, not as good options for fans, but both are exclellent cases though, I have one of each. I ordered a 3rd yesterday and could not decide between the two, I picked the cheaper one at newegg.

I just bought one. The ad shows ATX as the mobo style, but I currently have a Micro-ATX to mount. A look at the pix seems to show that I will have the required stud holes, though. You guys that own one.. can you tell me if I messed up on this?

Recieved the case and I have a mixed review, but overall I give 8 or 9 out of 10:
+ well built all aluminum, good worksmanship
+ Mobo tray! w/ excelent slide
+ Nice Power supply cap/tray with rear rail to help sort cables
+ good drive cages
+ Nice matching front cover
+ Thumb screws everywhere
+ Good cool air inlet over the chipset area
- Case deliverd by NewEgg was not new, but a refurb, even though advertised as new :(
(but all was in good condition)
- Poor 80mm case fan with no temp control line
- USB cables in two parts, but will fit the standard mobo port
- Some screws missing from pak
Total cost to me: Case $29.99, Shpng $15.99, Replacement Antec case fan $5, total $51
Judged better deal than case I previously bought, Antec Solution (w/350w PS) for $65 that had no trays, poor front door, poor-no cable handling help
