Newegg wishlist
The plan for the machine is to be a media center that sometimes acts as a private minecraft server for me and a few friends running Ubuntu.
Thanks in advance!

Well, don't expect the best quality, or highest resolutions, but hopefully it will work.Yeah, I ordered a VGA-to-RCA adapter off of eBay so I could connect it to my TV.
Pros: The case is well built and painted on the inside which I like. They include a carriage for installation of a 2.5" drive which is nice. Tool less drive installation and awesome airflow.
It's a good looking case as far as I'm concerned.
Cons: I do have a couple complaints though. As others mentioned, the cable management is terrible. There is also no standby light on the case, which is annoying.
My biggest complaint is that the fan at the top and the front use standard molex connections without the yellow sensor wire. So there is no way to plug them into any of the 4 Fan headers on my motherboard. That means that there is no way to control fan speed. It just makes for a loud case.
Pros: I slapped this in a rig I built for encoding video so I didn't need anything fancy. I'm not a PC gamer so I don't run benchmarks or care about FPS.
It goes great with my Acer S231 and is HDCP compliant, so iTunes no longer blocks me from downloading HD movies.
Has a WEI of 6.4 in my system if that helps. Oh, and it looks pretty cool with the color scheme they chose.

Painted on the inside? I don't like that at all! It may look nice but the primary method to discharge static in our bodies to prevent ESD damage to sensitive devices (CPUs, memory modules, etc.) is to touch "bare" metal of the case interior before reaching in. Paint would act as an electrical insulator and NOT good when conduction is what you want.The case is well built and painted on the inside which I like.
