very good case for how cheap it is (sorry about the length of this :P)
there are a few little short comings tho, what i really hate about some cases these days are the parts on them that sort of jut out like at the bottom of the front of the case of this one, has the two panels on each side of the front that jut out of the side, bit annoying for me when transporting it to lans and such, always catching on things
also there is a bit of a lack of space within the case, but i worked around it, however things are a bit squishy, especially with my bulky card

installed in the case seem to be these sliding clips where the pci-e and pci slots are that supposedly clip your card into place and therefore you wont need to screw the bugger in, well they didnt work at all, maybe my card didnt have the right hole in the panel of it for it to clip in properly, but its very annoying trying to slide them up and down in place, so i just ended up taking that whole contraption out

the meshy panels on the front of the case look very nice and do allow a degree of airflow etc, however they are quite annoying to remove, i ended up bending and twisting the top panel before AND after getting it out lol

hate to be so negative about this case, i dont really mean to, because i really like it anyway, looks nice, the fans have blue lights, plenty of airflow, plenty of spots to install fans too, comes with a fan tunnel you can install right over your cpu fan to suck the hot air out

all in all, very good case for the cost
