First off, this is a HUGE case. Double-check the dimensions before you buy because it's a lot bigger than the typical mid-tower case. If you had planned to put it on a desktop, forget it. The size is put to good use, though, with 3 giant 200mm (8 inch) fans while still having the width to accommodate a 7.25 inch high CPU cooler. The beauty of these big fans is they move a lot of air while turning very slowly, making very little noise.
It manages a high tech look while still keeping it tasteful. The fans have blue LEDs that look good lit up, and you can turn them off if you choose. The audio and USB connections are up on top where they're easy to reach. That top incorporates carry handles to haul this beast around with, and the handle area is steel reinforced.
It is nearly completely tool-less, with swing open latches for hard drives and secure tool free optical drives. The latches for accessory cards could use some revision as they don't want to close over fully enclosed video cards as the top of the card enclosure blocks the latch from closing. They can be removed and replaced with a screw if required. The side panels are the same old slide forward and screw on style - boring, but they fit together well and move smoothly. Construction is solid with no buzzing. Paint finish is excellent and so far has been quite durable.
It's well worth the price.
