Anyone got one of these.. how are they? im looking at getting one to build another rig with..

I have one, and it is a great case. Is it the best? No. It isn't the easiest for cable management. It only gives you a little space by the 3.5" drive bays. It has a bottom mounted PSU, but no holes on the bottom for mounting some of them right side up. It is a little small for some GPUs, and some of the larger CPU heatsinks.

Having focused on the negative, I'll state some of the positives. It is sturdy. I like how it looks. I find that it actually cools quite well in most situations (I got the illusion, which came with 4 fans). I really haven't had any problems with it, and I plan on keeping it for my next build, whenever that may be. It really is a great case, especially if you can find it for a good price.

Also, Tom's Hardware has often used it in their system builder marathon, even for their highest end. They have been known to put GTX580 SLI in it, or HD 6970 crossfire, and get great results. It isn't the fanciest, or biggest, or best performing, but it is great for its price.

The cable management options are pretty poor, but otherwise, it isn't a bad case. FWIW, I've noticed that those Tri-Cool fans tend to become noisy after about a years use.

Also, if you do pick up that case, do yourself a favor and pick up a CPU cable extension; with the power supply mounted on the bottom of the case, I've found it difficult to plug in the CPU power cable without having to drape it across the motherboard.

The problem I have with the case is the front audio jack, my headphones often loose signal due to the jack not being secure.
