Thats the one I have. I got it for $49 at Compusa after rebate a few
months ago good deal.

Unfortunately I have big beefs about the case though you can see it
got good reviews from the buyers at Newegg.

1) The sheet metal is super thin. I bought two of them one for a
neighbor, One of them was all dented up when I opened the case. I
mean really dented up. My case was OK but was soon dented on the top
when I dropped a few items on it when I was working on the PC. Stuff
that wouldnt wouldnt put a scratch in a normal case.

2) The paint is bronze hard to match metallic paint. Its already
chipped at the edges and I went to an auto parts place to get touch
paint but none really matches. Basically its starting to look a bit
beat up after two months or so. My other cases look new after years of
use.

3) Its built to be really light. Frankly I wouldnt sit on it let
alone stand on it. My other cases feel way way heavier and sturdier.

If that stuff doesnt bug you - its a bit smaller height wise - than
many mid tower designs Ive had so it maybe cramped vertically.
Its fatter though so you get more circulation that way for air. If I
had my choice Id have gotten the Cheifec type case but thats $100+
here even when rebated it was $79 recently.

They stopped carrying it at the local Compusa .
 
Thanks for that review, I'll keep away from it.

Of course everyone has their own subjective point of view. You might
like it. Who knows. If you are the really careful type and dont mess
with your case . PC much and put it carefully away in a shelf on your
desk or something , it might stay pristine for years to come . And you
might like the color and layout. People who bought it at Newegg seem
to really like it .
