Great Value

If you really don't care how "cool" you "want" a computer case, but want something extremely practical that works for only $40, then this computer case is for you. The most important feature for me was having a solid, clicky power button that doesn't seem to self-destruct with normal use, yes I've built computers for customers a few times. This box has a very simple look and function and as a bonus it also has a slide out DVD drive which some customers still use to backup or archive photos or important files. From someone who has been messing around with computers since 1989 I would definitely recommend this! Keep in mind that it's cheap so the metal is soft, be careful when tightening the screws, but it's very easy to manipulate. Remember that the box will be under your desk for years, out of sight, it will do the job very well. The only other "budget" M-ATX case I would recommend that costs about $15-$20 more is the Cooler Master N200, a full mesh front mini-tower computer case with mATX /Mini-ITX support. the one i am reviewing here the reason i bought the fractal design core 1100 in this case was the client had a very big budget and the $20 saving was a big deal it just turned out that the Fractal Design Core 1100 was really good good hope that helps.
