Small problems

     Let's talk about some problems that need to be addressed.  At first glance the paint looks flawless and for the most part it is.  However, if you ever need to take off the back side panel, you will see some flaws.

     These little bubbles are only present behind the left side panel behind the motherboard tray.  Hopefully, this isn't going to flake off after awhile.  If these bubbles weren't present, the paint would be perfect.  Luckily, this isn't a panel that I remove very often and with the panel installed the bubbles are completely hidden.

     The fan at the bottom also presents a small problem.  It looks fine in the picture, but try to install the power switch, reset switch, speaker, etc. connectors with the fan installed.  There just isn't enough room.  I had to take this fan out to connect all of the wires then put the fan back in. Again, not a big problem and it was easily overcome.

Good stuff

     The best feature of the case is the Tiki mask style front.  Did I mention that it lights up?

That is just a mean looking case.  I can't wait to take this to my next LAN party and show it off!

Conclusion

     Two very minor problems does not ruin this case.  Just because my paint was a little messed up, I haven't seen enough of these cases to say they are all like that.  The case is just a great buy at $65 not including power supply.  Yes, ONLY $65!  A pre-modified case that looks good for $65 is a steal.  I understand that the most popular interior color is blue, but I don't think it goes with the mean look of the case.  Personally, I think red LED fans would have made the case much better.  I think red on red would make this case look even meaner. However, blue on red is very cool too. Overall this is a great case and well worth your money.
