There is a lot to like about this case that find more important than a few minor criticisms of it. For those looking for their first case, this is a fantastic option.

The Pros:

- Lots of room around the motherboard area, which helps with cable management. Cable management is easy for the most part.
- See-through plastic panel on the right and metal panel on the left come off via thumb screws. Easy for component swaps.
- Space for an optical drive if you need to install your OS via disc.
- Comes with 2x 2.5" and 2x 3.5" form factor drive slots.
- Case itself is very light.

Cons:

- The one area with difficult cable management would be on the side of the 2.5" form factor drives that utilize SATA 3.0 memory bus. Being inside the left panel and on the outside of the chassis, getting the SATA cables connected can be tricky with the limited space between the IO cables running through and the holes allowing movement to the motherboard.

Still, for the price, it's hard to beat.
