«Great looks and lots of room»
i have no complains with this case; lots of room and the airflow great too. i have a PC water cooler, dual GPU's, 8 gigs of memory, 1.2 tb drive space and everything is over clocked.
i would buy again

«too much and too little»
First, This is a very good looking case,no question.It is packed with features and options.But really more than you need.To me the price is high for what you will really be doing with it.There were alot of parts that you will never need and some not there that you will need if you are using it as a high end gaming case.
It only comes with two fans.Even though the side has a holder for four more and there is a holder on top for another.That added a need for 5ea. 120mm fans meaning least $50-$60 more to the price.
The access to the power supply is limited esp. if you prefer a modular p/s which I do.It is really hard to plug in the power cables.The frame shrouds it really badly.In hind sight I would say plug the cables you need in before you put in the power supply.But that was not mentioned in the instruction sheet.The frame is riveted together so you cannot even take it down for access.The H/D cage requires way too much dissasembaly for access and it is directly in the way of air flow that is needed for the gpu,s.
The rear of the case impaired installation of my 9800GX2 sli cards.It seemed like the tabs on the fan end of the gpu could not get far enough into the space between the motherboard and the case and I have never had that trouble before.I would not have bought this case if I knew then what I know now.I can't understand why others have rated this so highly.Maybe embarrassed to tell the truth.
I have assembled 5 other high -end pc's.
I like the xclio wind tunnel the best.Full size $100.00.Not perfect but it is a great gaming case,excellant cooling,lots of room,everthing easy to work on.I should have just stayed with it.
