But normally hot deals on a case means free shipping. $10 off isn't really a hot deal if it's $16 for shipping.

Anyway, I bought this the last time they had free shipping, and it isn't that great. It's loud, it's cramped, the tooless design doesn't secure things real well, the LED's light up half the room, lotsa sharp edges, front collects dust instantly since it's mesh, front panel won't come off with 5.25" drive in, no documentation and a lot of extra parts for god knows what. I can't believe how popular this thing is and how many positive reviews there are of it. imho it's no better than the $20 cheapo cases I've used.

Sorry if this qualifies as crapping, but I was really disappointed.

its a great case, worth every penny, and more, including the shipping/handling charges.

I built a rig for my little brother with this case and absolutely love the design, the single large 120mm fan in the back, couples with the completely mesh (with filter) front are great for keeping the case/innards at a nice ambient temperature.

it also feels fairly sturdy and solid, (i dislike aluminum cases or windows). the loudest thing in the system was the 7900gt i put in there. the bright blue led was annoying as hell however, we ended up turning that off.

i'll be getting the centurion 532 in a month or two, as my case will stay on the floor and the buttons are perfectly positioned for my setup.

I have used MANY of these in builds, and loved everyone. This is a solid ~$50 case, to get much better costs way too much more.

Great case, I love mine. I hear you a little bit Friz, the dust collection on the front bazel is unavoidable but easily cleaned with a dustbuster. The tooless design is very sweet, however a clip did break when I tried to secure my X1900XT inside it (very big card for this case BTW). The front panel not coming off while drives are in the bays does royally suck too, but I'm not removing it/putting back on very often. I think the case cools very well and looks very sharp.

Just want to chime in that I too am a satified user of this case and echo araczynski in that it's worth every penny.

I have use 15 of these for builds. THEY ARE GREAT!!!! It isnt loud, it isnt cramped. The tooless design secure things great. Until you mentioned the LED lights I hadn't even noticed them

 

[FreedomGUNDAM]

excellent case! I'm currently using one on my main rig.

 

[Smartazz]

My friends and I use this case for our builds. Its great, no problems with it.

Personally, I have this case that's $12 cheaper.
It's sturdy, tooless, well built, no sharp edges & is also set up for 2x120mm fans.
I didn't get it there, but it's the same case. I got mine from Jim at Coolcases.com. Mine has the Mod 4 package, although doing that adds quite a bit to the price.
If you're handy/comfortable with tools, you can do most of the mods yourself.
Check the case out. I don't think you can go wrong at that price.

 

[Smartazz]

I just finished building my rig, the case was a little tight at some points. You can't beat the price though, really a nice looking case too. Probobly one of the better buys for the money.

The Antec P180 is the best case.
