Very nice review. I agree that the tool-free mounts should be more secure. But they at least give the option of screws and include screws to match the case. It is also a nice clean design, I'm just not a fan of the shape of the window. To me it looks more like an after thought than an intended design element.

Actually, I kinda like it - I'm not a fan of windows where you get to see the back end of your drives (nothing really interesting there to see anyway) and this does a nice job of giving you a peek inside without showing off the really boring bits

You can buy the case with or without a window, something I probably should have mentioned in the review - apologies for that omission....

This is the same one we could win? Looks to be pretty nice.

Yup - this is the same as the one we have to give away in our facebook drawing - and it really is as good as it looks - for the price, you can't really go wrong

I agree about not wanting to see the ends of the drives. It's not the size or placement just the shape I don't care for. But on a budget case I wouldn't expect them to be too artistic. Personally it would look better with the window sized,shaped and located directly over the mobo. I did notice on the pic of the box that option. If I were to buy one it would be without and put my own window in.

It's just nice that a company is making a quality budget minded case.

Actually, Bitfenix have just announced another budget friendly case - give me a day or so and I'll write it up for you guys to take a look at
