This was the 1st mid-tower case from Cooler Master that I owned. The case is designed as a high air flow case which works well when your building a gaming system. It is smaller and cheaper than any of the other HAF series cases but still looks cool and has the same cable management that lets you keep the cables hidden from view and out of the air flow. It comes with some tool less drive bays and a removable hard drive cage if you need to accommodate longer high end video cards. You can also rotate the hard drive cage 90 degrees to adjust your system airflow and cable management setup to your needs. It is also compatible with water cooling hardware if you decide to go that route. The two front mounted USB 2.0 ports come in handy when you need to quickly access a thumb drive as well as the I/O ports for your headphones when you need to keep it quite while your playing your games. You wont be disappointed in this case at all.

Pros: -Lots of room for cable management -Great Air Flow -Made of Steel and only plastic part is the from mesh -Removable cage -Comes with all the needed screws Cons: You're kidding right? Other Thoughts: I bought this case to replace my six year old case and wow, this case is awesome and I the best bang for your buck around and that has lots of room for modding and you can mount a 200mm in the front of the case and one on the top and a 120mm or a 140mmm for maximum ventilation. This is a must buy case and I'd recommend it to every one I know.

This is the 2nd case I have owned from Cooler Master and only one of several products that I have purchased from them. This case has excellent air-flow and fan mounting capabilities. Its looks are very attractive and it has excellent cable routing. Mounting drives was easy but I only wish it had a few more toolless drive bays. However, I am only using one 5.25" bay now anyway. I bought this case for my first PC build and am thoroughly happy with its performance. My tip for fan installation -- do not even think about trying to thread screws into fan holes -- it's total insanity to spend time and effort doing this -- just place machine screws through the holes of the fan casing and secure them on the other end with hex nuts (6-32 X 1 1/2 screw size) -- you will save time and sanity. Secure the fans in place so that the nuts are outside the case. They'll show a bit, but who cares?This case is so cold when four fans are running, I think it cools my room... Another thought -- if you want to reduce dust intake in the case in the rear, side and top (the metal mesh of the case is pretty large), just buy some mesh screen (like for a screen door) and cut it with scissors into a shape that will fit the fan port, then secure it with duct tape on the outside.
