NEW CASE I BOUGHT :)

This case is excellent. it and the new 120mm fans i added dropped temps by 15-20 degrees! im happy now. Inside is messy with cords, but i wanted to play my video games already...haha. Rate the case 1-10 please!

I personally don't like the way it looks, especially the front. But its all personal preference

I cant properly tell how well its built of course, but from what I see it looks pretty decent. Taking your word for its cooling performance, I'd give it a 6+ to 7+.

I would suggest toclean the cables up a bit, tie them together a bit for better airflow.

That much light in a case...not my kinda thing especially with different colors, but that is preference.

And I'm sure it looks better in real life, but if you look at the picture of the front, it looks somewhat off, as if that fan was never meant to be there, but that is probably because of the way the picture was taken, in real life you don't see as much as you do in a picture.

And when looking at it from the side, you can see the front fan sticking out from the rest of the case, which tends to feet my arguement of the fan not supposed to be there, or at least a smaller fan

I'm not trying to sound negative about yer new case, just some things that came to me.

All in all, given your claim of temp dropping, I'd have to go with my feeling and give it a 7 minus.

The case isn't exactly pretty, (although it's far from being ugly) it's the practically, and cooling that draws me to it.

Function over form in this case (pun intended

), and judging from it, it looks to do well in that department.

the fan there is optional. its on my hd dock. i can push it in and latch it there and put those black covers back on in under 5 secs. The lighting, is a little over lit...but i just put it in and havnt changed it yet. im going to take out the blue and leave the reds in. gives it a darker glow so im not all lit up. But yeah, the fan can be pushed in and clipped. The wires, yes do need to be put away. they can be put behind the motherboard mount, both sides come off and the metal has cut outs to run wires through....too much work. i put it together at 11 at night and wanted to play a game during a lan party. so thats why its all jumbled. the vents are kick arseeeee though. no heat in that case

That's the 590 isn't it? Not a bad case but the metal is relatively flimsy and way too much extraneous venting. 6.5 or 7.

.bh.

the metal isnt flimsy. its not titanium if thats what your thinking. even the side pieces dont bend much. whats wrong with extra venting too??

TOO much venting breaks the current of air flow by eliminating the cool air before it gets a chance to actually cool and heat transfer.

Personally, all flash with limited function. Could do without alot of the extras on there. 3 or 4.

EDIT: I didnt notice the audio outputs at the top front of the case, with that i give it a solid 4.

all and all.. push the front fan in.. put the cover back on... and really...i'm not sure how the down draft of fans on top and the side flow with the fans on the side and the front and back fans all work out to getting good airlflow... ?? but if it works... then it must have been designed to work that way... i give it a 8.. to many lights though... and still iffy on the configuration of the fans...??? odd... seems like the air flow would be all garbled up in there...
