Windows Vistai love this case and would reccomend to anyone:) though with 2 fans on the back blowing air out one on the side was set to blow air out, i found when closing side fanel the front fan stopped, so turned the side fan to blowing air in and this solved the prob. this case is slightly bigger than my last case (had 1x7cm on front,1x9cm on back and 1x8cm on the side) yet the mobo temps are 10c lower and cpu 8c lower, e6600 o/c from 2.4ghz to 3.46ghz with 8800gts, my mobo temp is 27c and cpu 30c..
Good case

Not ApplicableFor the money this a great case, it has everything you need for a budget system, with it's sufficient case cooling and good lucks. The pics do not do it justice.
Hopefully this review will clear a few things up:
The case comes with screws, thumbscrews (for the sides)and brass standoffs for mounting the motherboard. I was very happy to not have to pull all the screws out of my old case, that's for sure!
The front turbine fan DOES spin. Those who say it doesn't either have a faulty front fan or they did not connect it up properly.
Connecting both the fans in an efficient manner requires TWO 4 pin molex cables make sure your Power Supply has enough molex cables for your needs before buying this case.
Although there are seven mounting bays for harddrives, there is however only three you can get to without mounting them improperly/taking the front fan out.
The case was very spacious, I have two 3.5 inch HDD'S, and a 512mb Nvidia 8600GT that took up a lot of space in my old case, however this new one has enough space to direct airflow in order to get the best cooling.
Although the case looks great, the base colour for the front is actually white with a black laminated overcoat that does scratch easily so be careful.
I honestly expected this case to be a lot weaker than it is, the overall build quality is superb, and for the price there isn't much better you can get.
Excellent value for money

OtherFitted MB quickfind code: 161639, with a phenom x4 9650, GTX260, 3GB of ram, 500W psu QuickFind Code: 129422.
Using windows 7 64 bit, everything works fine, i'm only using the stock cooling with every component, no overheating issue even when running crysis at 1400x900 maximum settings (64bit, all turned to highest settings but AA is off).
The case is not silent, but not noisey, almost anything coming out of your PC's speakers will drown out the fans. Keeping everything cool in there for this price is awesome!
Not bad at all!
operating system:
Windows XPThe case is pretty spacious inside, I was able to fit in a bloody 4870x2 with no problems as well as 2 HDDs and a huge CPU fan/heatsink.
Comes with all the screws and fittings you need, including brass mounting screws to lift your motherboard off the back wall (which is needed because the motherboard ports at the back won't align with the case without these).
I got a different side panel from the one shown, so the side fan is positioned over the cpu heatsink rather than the graphics card. I also think it looks betetr than the one shown.
RECCOMENDED: Turn the fan on the sidepanel over so that it blows air IN to the case, when you get it it blows air out, which is wrong! Your front fan should blow air IN, side fan IN and the two rear fans (sold seperately) should blow air OUT. This way there is a constant airflow through your case which optimises cooling.
The case I got was NOT cheap feeling, was rather sturdy and I recon I could kick it about and it wouldn't dent. Doesn't scratch easily, I tested it and it's like any other thing thats plastic.
The case also has 3 holes in the other side panel, which I assume are for watercooling.
The case is bloody lovely looking, I have to admit. The glossy finish is very nice, although I'm not a fan of the sidefan LED colour, a nice blue one would look better.
Great Case, Great Price, Great Space, Great Quality, Great Looking!

Windows VistaPlaced an order at about 7pm, the case arrived at 7am next day, unbelievable service from Ebuyer. I wasnt expecting too much from a case that price and was going to replace it later when I had more cash. But its fantastic value for the money and looks really nice so I am going to keep it. Well worth the money
Good Case
This case comes with a 14cm fan at the front and an 8cm fan on the side with LED's in it =D, you can buy 2 8cm fans for the back seperatly if needed.
This picture is rather deceptive...the fan you can see on the front isnt actually a propper fan; the blades don't spin, the real fan is mounted behind that and it is mounted in a funny kind of way, you would expect it to be blowing out but the fan blades spin in the wrong direction and blow a little bit of air inside the case, i will be planning on changing the direction of the blades spinning and mounting the fan the other way round so i can get maximum performance for the fan. Quite sturdy, well worth the price.

Great Case
Very Good Case For The Money
I Would Recomend Any 1 To Buy This Case Keeps My Pc Very Cool / Looks Great
Love it
operating system:
LinuxJust got this today, I think it looks great!
Plenty of room inside, I also use a micro ATX motherboard so it's much easier to sort out wiring.
It feels a little bit weak, but unless your knocking it around it shouldn't be a problem.
For those of you that wanted to know, the front turbine fan Does spin, there is no motor in it, it's just blown around by the 140mm one just behind it.
It does look a lot better than the pictures show, it has a nice glossy effect all over it, but i suspect the paint is a little thin.
It comes with 2 optical drive stealth covers, and it's not difficult to reach the button with the tray out.
It also has a plain black 140mm fan for the front and an 80mm tri-colour fan for the side panel, plus room for 2 80mm fans on the back.
Overall very good value for money and if treated well should last a long time.
Problems Solved
I'm getting this case as I have read a lot of good comments.
The sizes of the side fans are 80mm, which are standard (you can buy awesome LED fans on this site for 99p!)
The size of the front fan is 140mm, people are saying that this is not working. From what I've gathered it's like one of them wind powered fans at the beach, the fan you see at the front isn't a fan, it's a turbine that is powered by a fan right behind this, personally I don't see the point as this would probably reduce air flow, but oh well! This is useful if you buy a fan controller. Looking forward to my case!
