That's not a bad looking case for a customer build. It's pretty small though, isn't it?

You have to use a micro board in it but that is all I use for client builds anyway and they like small cases Cindy. That is why they buy so many of those Dell and Acer slimline units....And I have never needed to add anything to the average client's unit anyway. This case actually has a bit more room in it than many of the micros I have used. And it weighs nothing.

I like the looks of it but it's not something I would ever use for myself. I also like the Antec cases for customer builds. I'm sure you remember, my first two builds (Mine and my daughters) were both with Antec cases. Since then, I've gone with Thermaltake cases for my own use.

I also like Thermaltake cases a lot but actually Cooler Master cases are very similar and perhaps a little sturdier but the looks are the same as they both knock off the top in the industry. This isn't a debate situation. When an Antec case is at $20.00 with free freight debate time is over, buy or pass! It is fine for the average customer and since I am only building with micro boards today anyway, it is the perfect case and I would use it myself. The days when mid size cases were the norm are slowly ending and if the ever really made a decent low contour psu for the slim lines they would disappear. I got tired of the mid size board in a midsize case where all the free space was in an area I seldom use for client build and that is pci slots. Amd Apus are so decent video as to really eliminate the need for the average client to have a pci-x video card and when you strive as I do to be competitive with the crap makers, I need to get the retail to $400 wherever possible. When I have them at that price, I can't keep them in the shop. I still sell some at $550 and $565-85 but at $499 they always look at me after they see the unit and go "that's a good price, eh?" It's what they want to pay and you can do it easily if you start with a $20 case with a decent name. There is a min Zalman I have been able to get now and then at $29 I sold a lot of units with also.
