Advantages: Looks, Airflow, Ease of Use
Disadvantages: Durability of the front panel door

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 ...
...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 ... Read review

Advantages: Cool, looks good and is built well.
Disadvantages: Can be noisy, and is cramped inside.

With the Antec 900, you are looking at the best case for gamers who look to overclock their hardware. I bought this case from ebuyer.com for around £80, and have been impressed ever since. The case itself is quite large, and comes prefitted with two from 120mm fans with blue LEDS, one 120mm fan with blue LEDs at the back, and a huge 200mm fan that sits on the top and sucks warm air out of the case. These fans keep the inside of the case very cool, ...
...to change the speeds of the fans, low/medium/high. When turned to high the case keeps very very cool, but obviously it does begin to get noisy at that point. Running them on low is enough to keep it cool and the noise is kept to a minimum. The case also has a front panel in built in, containing two USB ports, one firewire port, headphone and mic port and the reset and power button. I found these to be very useful, especially having the firewire port ... Read review

Advantages: Screwless architecture, aluminium, cooling
Disadvantages: minor imperfections

-----| Reason for purchase |----- I'm very much into computers and I have a pretty good system, however my old case just looked ugly and wasn’t very practical. I also wanted a case with a window, so I could make use of the UV cathodes I had and such illuminating products. This case is also very well made and a long lasting product, which is exactly what I needed. -----| First impressions of setting up the case |----- First thing to note was ...
...which was a letdown but not a massive problem at all. Everything else went in fine quickly and easily, more on this later. Next problem was getting the power supply in, my supply is of a reasonable size, Antec TruePower 430W but I struggled to get it in, you would definitely have to remove the motherboard to replace the power supply at any time. Big power supplies may take a considerable degree of faffing about to get it in but I'm sure you could ... Read review

Advantages: Stylish, Can fit full size GPUs, Easy to set up
Disadvantages: Standard Tri-cool fans are too noisy, VFD display functionality is a bit limited

I have been running the Fusion now for six months with now problems. I am running an Intel e6600, geforce 8600GT and an Audigy soundcard in this case- all fit perfectly and dont warm the case up too much, even with the 3 speed fans set to the lowest setting. The VFD display on the front of the unit works well and it is a variation of Soundgraph's IMON device. The only disappoining part of this is however that the Fraphic equaliser does not seem ...
...Vista Media centre, this is not much use. My main problem with the unit is the noise from the "Tri-Cool" fans; even on the lowest setting they are too loud for a media centre: With the volume down on the TV (ie now at 12.15 with my wife in bed) I can clearly hear them droning away- quite annoying. Fans aside (you can buy much better ones for less than £20) this is a great looking case and it comes reccomended. (NB it can also be used with an MCE ... Read review

Advantages: Great design, tool-less parts work, does everything it should
Disadvantages: Front vents clog with dust

I built my computer over a year ago, and decided to push the boat out a and spend a bit extra on a case. After reading some good reviews I chose to go with the Coolermaster Centurion 5 in blue, and am glad I did! I never really imagined the choice of case could make too much difference but this really is excellent. The design is simple and unassuming, yet somehow very classy, the brushed blue aluminium and blue LED's work well. Functionally it works ...
...fiddling with screws on expansion brackets (although the screw holes are there should you wish, but it is very secure) and the drive bay holding clips simply work, I transport the case a lot and have had no slippages. The case includes a rear 120mm fan, which is very quiet but very effective. My only problem is the front vents (surrounding the power buttons and in the empty drive bay holders) which contain a foam for stopping dust entering the system. ... Read review
