Height measurements are slightly different. Case size 16.125 (16 1/8 inch) WITHOUT feet. Height just over 16.50 (16 1/2 inches) with feet. The height of the case was the main selling point for me as the footprint I have for this case is exactly 16 1/8 inches. The front grille is metal with a plastic frame. Easily removed. The detachable part for the DVD drive is also made of metal. Durable removable panels. Easy to remove without tools. Not skinny. No sharp edges. The front fans are great. Not quiet, but not loud either. The rear fan is noisy but draws a decent amount of air. All fans are 3-pin. Suitable for ATX board no problem. Fits easily on ATX board again. You have a 150mm CPU cooler that fits with free space. All trays/hard drive trays are removable if you need more space inside the case. You can install a longer graphics card than specified by removing the lower frame/bay/hard drive cage. The rear GPU/peripheral knockouts use screws, allowing you to reuse or replace the knockouts when needed. above the stand screws so you can tighten them into the chassis with a screwdriver. Enough space for cables. Screen filter on top of housing. Screen filter at the bottom of the case under the power supply. Don't trust the 1 star reviews. This case had all hardware, no dents, all fans worked, all holes in correct ATX position. The case also fits M ATX and shows exactly where the stand screws need to be placed for both types of motherboards. This is an excellent case. Very impressed with the quality. A very simple case. All Black. Exactly what I needed.
