This was the perfect footprint to fit my server requirements. The mATX mobo fit easily and the cables were easy to route. I with I had a few more of these cases.

I was suprised by the look and feel of this case which was nicer than I expected. The inside is cheap but sturdy and simple. However, my motherboard suffered misalignment and I'm sure the case is at fault. The standoffs are too low and I was unable to seat my PCI cards properly. Not only that you should check to see if your CDROM drive is going to bang into your board's CPU cooling fan. Mine did and if I keep the case, I will not be able to install the drive with it.

This is not the worst case I have ever used but it is close. I think some of the review listed here were written while still angry or bleeding. Pros of this case are the price and the size. It makes a small desktop but is larger than the pic makes you think. It would be a fair LAN party box. The cons are too numerable to put down but the main ones are listed above. I build PCs all day and thought I would try out three of these where I have little room. The paint comes off this case at the drop of a hat. After assembling the first case on the clean formica top of my build counter the paint job was trashed. Thats is the only time that has EVER happened to me. The sheet metal is poorly cut making holes hard to insert drives and sharp edges. The cages for the drives barely go back in once the drives are in them. No room for IDE cables between the CD cage and the CPU fan unless you have a small crappy fan. The screws supplied are not the correct size from case to case. On and on

I am a system reseller and bought this as the case for a loaner PC. The paint chips off easily and began to look mangy after a while. The PS gave up after 18 months - rendering the case useless. Stock up on bandaids when working inside this too. I'd recommend spending the extra bucks for the CoolerMaster 340 - worth it in the long run.

Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!
The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.
How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory. The actual useable memory may be different from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
and by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
