That's cool.


Yours doesn't seem to have the X-Dock, I guess the CyberpowerPC guys removed that.


What do you think about the overall build quality of the case?

I don't know much about cases, nor do I look at my pc often, since I moved it behind my dual screens.

The plastic is good enough, I suppose.

By that I meant is it all floppy, sloppy, and creaky?

I'm guessing not, since most reviews are good anyways.

the side panel, with the window part, can be pushed in a little, so i guess its a little flimsy, and one of the screws in the back is difficult to put back in, but overall its good i guess

That's how the windows are on any case, I've handled 200 dollar cases with flexible windows.

then i guess its all good.
the light is still annoying, tho. i removed the main bar light, but the fans still have lights that i believe are built in(altho i havent looked closely enough)
another thing i dont like about the case, is the fact that there are few usb ports in the front. and the blue usb(3.0?) doesnt work for me, for whatever reason. normal usb works on 3.0 right? even tho i plugged in a 3.0 1TB harddrive into it and it wouldnt recognize anything being plugged in.

The case comes with only one LED fan which is the one behind the front intake.

Your prebuilt one probably came with more fans. If I'm going to put any lights in there it will be some dim white light or something.

Cancelled the order and went for an NZXT Tempest 210 instead.





LED's and Windows seemed a little cheesy to me. Besides the window would be covered where I was going to put it. I liked the X-Dock feature and stuff but I think I can live without it (or just get a hot swap bay for the case I'm getting) and I can put a front LED fan if I want.

It was also 4 bucks cheaper so I got a nice looking 300 lumen flashlight as a filler :))

what do you think?
