Nice review buddy, keep up the good work!

Good review - thanks - I've been wanting one of these cases for a while, but they are not available in South Africa

and to import something as big as a case is not really cost effective - the shipping costs are more than the cost of the case.
 
I have this case and i can tell you it can certainly cool well. Very easy to install components. Only problem i had was with the pci tool less mounting orange clips when installing my XFX HD6850. And then using screws is a bit of a pain in the arse... but atleast its not too loud and can handle my OC'd HD6850 keeping it at about 50-60 degrees when playing MOH on max OC'd... obviously with all fans turned up on highest... BUT DEFINITELY WORTH IT FOR A BUDGET CASE!I would recommend to anyone looking to build a budget to mid range gaming rig...

fans can be mounted on top of rad but top cover wont close

so mount fans underneath but becarefull Version 1 of the case had 20mm fan spacing Version 2 has 15mm fan spacing

280mm rads fit aswell

I just wish that space uptop was deeper. You can't run nice thick rad up there. My rx240 holds the top off by half an inch lol. Its good for air or a thin rad watercooling setup.

One of the down flaws of the case is how the top plastic piece is loose. You can move it side to side a few mm. Its just the way they made the case and how they made the clip in system for the whole top assembly where the plastic meets metal.

The top part on mine doesnt budge at all, maybe was just something wrong with yours? It could be that the pressure from the pipes pushing the rad brackets on mine are forcing it in place though.

I thought it was just mine but after taking the top section off you can see its only little tabs holding it in place towards the back. I checked my friends is the same. Its not like easy just blow on it move but if you push on the back end up top it will move right and left.

Just did as you said and doesn't move a mm. Must be because of the rad and pipes then.
