After searching high and low for a case that looked right and could house a full atx board, I found this one. This is a great case which is *quite* durable.
Installing my ASUS p5b delux motherboard in this case was very straight forward. All the holes were positioned correctly and the standoffs went in perfectly.
The connectors for the front panel were used for USB and audio. These connections are behind a little slide down door which makes it easy to hide or show them. But I had a little problem with this slide down door. After moving it a few times all of a sudden I heard a snap! To my amazement, the part of the door that keeps the door shut had broken away. Therefore, I can no longer close this door, without it sliding back down. This is a very minor thing though, and I'm not too fussed.
The motherboard connectors for the front panel were able to be inserted into my motherboard correctly, without having any issues with pins being in the wrong place, that I have experienced in the past.
The airflow is great, as the case comes with two 12cm fans. One at the back and one at the front of the case. These are pretty much silent fans and I can hardly hear them. These bring excellent airflow through my case and keep everything nice and cool! There is also space on the case for another fan that would fit into the side door.
The case is very easy to open, with sliding panels each side, that can be opened with the thumb screws on the back.
I think this is a great case, apart from the slight set back of the front panel door.
