The review is spot on. I've been using a variation of the case (without the windowed side panel) for 3 months now. The biggest problem setting up the case for me was:

1. The PCI Retension Mechanism (Almost all my cards were too big to be held in place by the clips.

2. The harddrive cables ment putting the side panel on was a real pain. I have 5 scsi disks and using conventional flat scsi cables put of course scsi cables have to be termitated, so there are 2 terminaters pertruding out towards the side panel. As I said the panel does fit but it is a tight squeeze.

Nice review.

I've got a Xaser III to.
It's a great case.
Does anyone know how to connect the top audio in-and outconnectors to my mainboard an ASUS P4PE because there seem to be more single connectors on the cables as there are pins on the audio connector on my mainboard?
I really don't have a clew anymore

good review, but your problem with the rounded cables can easily be solved. Just leave more space between your hard disks and the cable will not have a bend like yours.

As for the shortness of your cables: on my abit nf7-s the standard cables were long enough, so it depends on the motherboard type.
