Customers say

Customers like the quality, noise, and space of the computer chassis. For example, they mention it's very well constructed, has heavy-duty feet, and has lots of heavy duty rubber grommets. They appreciate the noise blocking insolation and sound deadening. That said, they appreciate the huge size and the ability to run cables through six large access points. Opinions are mixed on the weight.

Seems like a solid investment
4 Stars
Seems like a solid investment
I decided I wanted a real case, I wanted it to have decent dust filters most importantly, I wanted lots of room for whatever, and removable hard drive bays so I could feed my gpu air from the front instead of the side. I looked at the Corsair obsidian 550d and the Antec p280 and this case had the features I liked from the two and nothing that I didn't want.The only problem I had installing everything was my GPU. It wouldn't sit all the way but all my old cards were fine (7770, gt 220). I eventually did get it but it was stressful. Like I said I don't want dust in my case so I'm going the positive pressure route. I'm only using the stock fans all plugged into the integrated fan controller (very nice fans btw, I only used the controller at first as a junction point for the cables but now I turn the fans down when on idle so they might live longer) and I put a second thermal sensor fan in the bottom front for my hard drives.My case didn't have any of the common problems. My standoffs were the right height (which for this case is 8.5mm) my headset and mic ports are labeled right (although I feel like the mic port is usually on the left). They wiggle around a little bit strangly enough, but no connection issues yet. The door feels kind of light, therefore kind of cheap but it does a good job blocking sound and the front fans still get enough air through the vents on the side (I can feel them pulling air through it). It only has one light, I wired it as a hdd light but its big and looks kind of silly because it is originally for power. I kind of wish the power and reset were behind the door, in lm a bit paranoid of my cats or more hitting them, the power button is a bit to large than I'd like as well.I'm pretty dang happy with this case, my GPU not sitting right was very stressful and my HDMI cable wouldn't plug in so I switched back to DVI. Can't really blame the case since all my other cards fit, I think my old cheap case bent it or something. Certainly no problems with space now or forever. It's very very heavy as such it's on my floor so having the front I/O on top is very nice. The side panels close in a weird way, but it makes sitting on the back panel so you can close it with all the routed cables a little easier. This is also the first case I ever did cable management on, look at the picture I uploaded. I wouldn't think twice about recommending this to someone unless they move their computer around a lot. This thing must push 60 pounds after everything is installed. This is the same case that they shot with a 12 gauge too and it took ten rounds so there's that.
