These are nice cases, I don't think I would go with one if I was worried about cooling issues though. Good deal on a decent case.

Five case fans won't cool a case?
It's close to a chopper gunship.

No it's not the fans that aren't enough I just don't think it's the best for that if you read up on some of the reviews, I think that there are some other options out there for serious cooling with cases. examples:
Antec Performance One
MGE XG Quantum
MGE Sidewinder
All good cases all diferent price ranges, the sidewinder is a good price< I think it's out there for around $45 if you search enough. I am by no means saying this case listed in the thread is not a great deal it is!!!! The case just isn't the greatest if you are looking to cool some serious stuff, but I guess that's not what the post was for anyway.
All of these "cheap" (price) Chieftec full-tower cases that TigerDirect are selling, are this way. They have some sort of non-standard PSU mount on them, the standard one is horizontal. Perhaps that's why TD can sell them so cheaply, they may be surplus, intended for a custom OEM or something. Due to that non-standard PSU mounting bracket, I was unable to get my 520W TTGI/SF PSU to mount properly, it was about 1.5mm off. I mounted the 360W Chieftec with no problem though, although that one doesn't have enough molex leads for my planned application.Originally posted by: BigEdMuustaffa
Why is the power suppy bounted 90 degrees on this case? I've seen pictures of full tower cases from Antec etc...where the ps is mounted like most cases..horizontally.
