When the case first arrived i was expecting somthing a little bigger. when i put everything in it seemed kinda of crammed. However the way the case lays out and the fan placement is just GREAT! i did find the side panels to be flimsy.

The case comes with 4 fans: 3 with LED's and a top 200MM fan. These fans come with 3 different speeds. off med. fast.

i havent moved any wires yet... lol just wanted to get it up and running.:santa:
 
Looks good but id never buy one myself.I used one for a friends build and i thought it was a pita setting it up.But they do look good and offer great cooling.But anyway im glad you like it.Maybe if i had spent more time with it i would have liked it too.But i do like my CM690 which is very similar
