Good case
I recently bought this case to start building my first PC. As a beginner, I found the case very easy to work with. I was able to get all the parts in without any major problems. The previous review mentioned the rubber grips on hard drive holders. I did use these and there is very little noise coming from the hard drives.

I only had 2 problems when building in this case. I found it hard to get the cable from the rear of the PSU to the back of the DVD drive. There was not alot of room to work in at the top of the case. The second problem (hopefully someone can point out if I made an error), is that the speed adjustable fan has a control switch on it that appears to be only inside the case. It seems as though you have to open the case to change the speed of your fan, I would have thought there would have been a hole to push the controller through so it can be changed anytime.

Overall, this case is certainly good value for money, I could fit all my bits in the case without a problem. I chose this case because it does its job well and doesnt look ridiculous with flashing lights and see through panels.

Great For Quiet Systems
This is a very good case if your aim is to put together a system that doesn't make an intrusive amount of noise (as so many computers seem to).

The build quality and construction are sturdy and the design well thought out. It isn't the biggest case to work in, but provides plenty of space for wire management (with hooks provided on the back of the HDD cage). The suspension system for HDDs certainly works as intended, though it is a little more fiddly than regular mounting methods. One thing that lets the case down a little is the included Antec Tri-Cool fan, which is in no way quiet when compared with decent alternatives (even on the lowest setting).

What I have set up in the case:
E8400 - Cooled by Scythe Ninja
DFI Blood Iron P35
8800GT - Cooled by Accelero S1 w/ 120mm fan
X-Fi Xtreme Music
2 x Seagate HDDs - suspension mounted
Fan Controller
92mm Nexus Fan (Front) and 120mm Nexus Fan (rear)

With the fans dialed down with a fan controller it is near silent and with fans turned up to maximum it not hugely noisy and cooling is very good (which is only really needed when gaming etc).

Overall I'm very happy with it.

Very nice case
Well laid out with plenty of accessories including lots of screws and clips for the optical drives making them easy to remove and install. Easy to open and close with captive thumb bolts on the main side-panel. It runs quietly due to sound-deadening patches on the side panels, the speed-controllable 120cm fan and the rubber grommets used to support the hard disc drives (there's also a system to support the HDDs using rubber bands but they look a bit finnicky so I didn't bother). There is no case speaker for POST indication but that's no loss really.
