Er is iig 1 punt waarom je deze kast niet wil voor een game pc:
•Clips of front covers won't last long
•No USB 3.0 Connectivity
•
Graphic cards beyond 29 - 30 cm may not fit
•Packaging seems too compact for safe transportation
•Somewhat

Enkele gebruikerservaringen:
Cons:
-
No front-panel USB3
-Adequate air flow in stock configuration through this can be remedied by getting more fans
-Only two 5.25 bays in the front
-
Dust filters hard to remove because you have remove the entire fan assembly to take them off (except for the psu filter which just slides out)
-Some of the thumbscrews were not threaded properly
-Can't mount watercooling radiators anywhere w/o modding (stupid gaps between 120mm fan holes)
-HDD rack restricts airflow pretty well, should be removed if possible
-
with side moduvent closed, videocard temps get quite high: 90oC on a 275gtx running furmark
- Not as quiet as I expected
- Nowhere near the build quality of my old Lian Li it replaced
Cons: Build quality! Several bent areas and stripped thumbscrews.
Cheap feel. Metal feels thin.
Wish it had USB 3.0.
Cable routing holes not large enough for all the power cables, and won't fit behind motherboard tray anyways.
Other Thoughts: I read some people complaining of the cases coming with bent parts and stripped screws... I should have listened! It was such a nice case except that not only did a case screw come cross-threaded and stripped, but several of the PCI bays were also bent, with stripped thumbscrews. The company needs better quality control! If it weren't for the build quality I'd upgrade it to at least a 4 if not a 5.
Cons: The problem is this customers build was for gaming. Running an overclocked AMD Phenom II 1090T, Corsair 800Watt PSU, an XFX Radeon 6870, and 8GB of A-Data 1600G Gaming DDR3.
The intention was an eventual Crossfire setup, however not in this case, there is simply not enough room or cooling.
This hardware produces a lot more heat that an "average" lower to mid range build, and it really has no where to go. There is inadequate airflow capabilities, even with the removal of the noise reduction material and using all available vents. You also have to remove all the dust filters, occupy every vent with a fan, and leave the front panel open to cool as well as many other "cheaper" cases can do.
The noise reduction material not only insulates the case, trapping more heat, it's also a dust magnet.
So contrary to what they claim, this case does not work well for gaming or enthusiast builds at all.

Dat over de koeling komt overeen met wat Bit-tech in hun review erover te melden had; nml. dat het beter was deze kast met een videokaart uit te rusten, die de warme lucht direct uit de kast blaast ipv in de kast.
