here's a review I did of the case http://www.daocplace.com/index.php?review=webuild4q the only other review I have seen of the case is at www.virtual-hideout.net although both reviews paralleled each other. The virtual hideout has better pictures in it. Check it out, It is a nice case that has some excellent modding potential.

Hey, good writeup, William! I didn't know you had one of these too...lol

I got mine a few months ago...your reveiw hit the nail right on the head. Great case, easily moddable, and you can't beat the price with a stick! :p

I put a 120mm fan in the lower front and dispatched that plastic cage to the "Closet from Hell/Island of Misfit "puter Parts"...lol With the added intake flow, I drilled out the "half moon" holes in the front, and added several more rows of holes to boot! The twin 80mm fans in the upper rear, got the metal "grill" in the case cut out, and replaced for better airflow.

My big gripe with this case, is that it's too narrow to support even an 80mm fan beside the I/O connectors on the mobo. There's room enough for only a 60mm fan here. But then, if your PSU has the 2nd fan in the botton, this isn't that big a deal. The only other problem I have with this one...is the screws that holds in the two upper expansion cards are hard to get at with the tray in the case...but then, that's why it's a removable tray, right??

I thought about putting a 2nd 120mm in the upper rear, but wanted to leave my options open for putting a 2nd PSU (for a pelt) or a radiator for H20 there. There is indeed tons of room in this case, the sheet metal is sturdy, but easily modded.

I'm toying w/ the idea of a window next...lol Plenty of room for 12"x16", or even bigger, for that matter...:D

Plus...ya gotta love that slide out mobo tray!!!

On a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being best) I'd give it a "7"...

Good luck with the new case, Peppy...I think you'll be quite happy w/ it!

There is another review.

I looked at that case, but decided to go with the supercase like crazy jayhawk hacked up. It has wheels!!!

Otherwise, pretty much the same. I got mine for $65 with 300watt PSU in town.

the 300watt psu that comes with the 4q is subpar though,i had to replace mine,it was actually keeping me from getting over 1.5 with my T-bird.You should see the one they have on display in store at webuildpcs or abilty wholesale(same place) its not modded but it has a professional paint job,looks really nice
