It does look nice especially if you like blue. It's easily the lightest case I have ever used and that I have seen. No real metal to speak of so it's very light. Till you add everything in of course. It has built-in windows on each side for those that desire that. You can always take a peek and be sure all the fans are still turning,hehe. And show off that cool new video or sound card to your buds without opening the case. And as we see again in the below pic this is one case to quickly open and close. You may have to unlock it first but then you have 2 simple sliding catches to just move outwards and open the case. To close it can get kinda hairy getting it shut evenly with all the assorsted wires and cables getting in the way though.
Worst thing is of course the power supply placement. But is that really bad? Since the motherboard is also upside down compared to how they fit in most cases then the power supply is about normal. haha, does that make any sense. Anyway, main thing is it didn't appear to have any adverse effects like I hought it would. Another would be how it closes. Most of the time it was just cables or wires getting in the way but other times it had to be gently maneuvered to get closed all the way. But it can sometimes be a pain. I went ahead and closed it when it wasn't exactly aligned several times. And since it's plastic you smokers better be careful. No ashtrays on da case.
Hey It's only Rock -N- Roll But I like it, this I know. Ok ok so don't call me Mick Jagger but I do like this case. Some may hate it and consider it fugly but we all have different tastes. I have an affinity for blue plus I like how amazingly easy everything was. In fact about as easy as the other ColorCases case I had the pleasure of reviewing, the Stonex Blue Case. Everything fit in so easily. But I have to admit, dummy me couldn't figure out at first how the heck the mobo connected to the jaw bone err case. I even went as far as emailing Matt at Colorcases telling him that something is missing. Well what was missing was my eyesight! I tell ya those stand-up built-in mobo mounts are darn near invisible!It was like they magically appeared,haha.
It does have an included intake fan but it's on the bottom near the front. Seems to works just fine actually but I don't recommend placing this case on thick carpeting because of that.
