That's a great price! I thought I scored when I got mine for just under $100 including shipping.

I'll give it a  :aok  I built my system using one and not one complaint with the case, and for $70 it's a great deal.

Yes, had I reused my case, this would have been first on my list.   Get it.

Used the 900 to build my system. Great case with ample cooling fans + easy access to the modular front case add-on trays. Great price to boot.

have this case since last february.

Only slight issue is the power bay being at the bottom of the case.  Gives the main power lead to the board a bit of stretch.

Great fans and lots of space  :aok

Is that case tooless? I was looking at the pictures and could not tell.

Oops, just looked at the price it went up $10.

Probably the best case for a mid size. 'Specially at this price!

 Bottom PSU mount. 200mm top mounted fan. 120mm side fan(not included) 2-120mm front mounted fans. Speed controlable. This case is worth at least -5 degrees by itself.

 I think I'll pick up my second one, too cheap to pass up.

I have the case and its great.  Lots of fans and excellent air flow.  It is not tooless.  You will need to use a screwdriver to unstall drives but it's pretty easy.

I hate tooless mounting anyway. Thing looks smurfy, too. That and since my case is eye-level next to me, too many LED fans like that burns out my right eye. Still, if it were Full Tower, I'd buy it.

I think the Antec P180 is a much better case. Knowing it had a bottom mounted PSU area I ordered the 4-pin CPU extensions ahead of time. I mount the HDs in the bottom also and then use the central area for airflow as it was intended. Some people gave bad reviews on newegg that appear to be misunderstandings as to how the 5-1/4 inch devices are supposed to be mounted. I had no troubles. With two PCIe cards 900W psu six HDs two DVDs and six fans it ends up being VERY heavy but every thing stays cool.
