I came from an especially frustrating case, so maybe this case isn't as good as I think it is and I'm just overreacting. But every time I open up my computer to work on it I seriously find it amazing.



It's light for its size. I'm quite short and weak (leave me alone! I haven't hit the gym yet) but this one's much easier for me to carry or move than the previous case I used, as well as the other computers in the house I've built to a mid tower size. I really appreciate that it has feet, too, just because I can slip my fingers fully underneath the case for a better grip when I'm lifting it off the ground.



There's a huge amount of space in it. I have small hands, so I don't have as much problems reaching into a computer as other people might, but I do appreciate that I don't have to play as much Tetris when I insert or remove components. Less crowding inside the case provides a slightly better airflow.



You can remove both sides of the case as needed. That doesn't sound so important but when I compare it to my first computer, it's definitely less hassle to work with. The outer screws can be removed by hand, so you could do things like remove dust from the insides or inspect it without having to find a screwdriver.



The hard drive trays feel a bit sturdier. In my last case, one of the tray insert broke inside one of the drive's internal threads. I was only able to retrieve it by getting my dad to cut through the tray. Now I test these trays whenever I change the hard drives (I just try to pop a drive out of its tray and then put it back) and they haven't broken yet. Four 3.5" bays feels so freeing after my last case only had two.



I installed a DVD drive last month. The mechanism for locking the drive into the 5.25" bay was confusing, but you can ignore it and use good old-fashioned screws, so I did that instead. It isn't initially clear how to pop out the cover, but it is replaceable, which could give this case resaleability or other freedom wrt changing the components.



I don't particularly care about the window or use LEDs, but it looks cool I guess. The looks are nice apart from that. I think it looks quite professional. My few complaints are that I wish there were more USB ports, and that they (and the headphone jacks) were situated on the top side, like in my old case. Bare in mind that I keep my computer on the floor so it's more convenient for them to be on top for me - if you keep yours on your desk, it's more practical for them to be in front. I *am* glad that the power button is on the front, and prefer it there. In my last case, sometimes my cats sitting on my computer would step on the button and turn it off!



I bought this as a replacement for a case I was very frustrated with and I don't regret it one bit. I'm very happy with this purchase.
