Summary: Very, very nice...
Review: I have previous experience with an Antec Value line case that I have loved, so when I needed a new case, I ordered an SX840 (which is a 400W version of SX830) without hesitation. Well, it showed up and I could not be more pleased with the design and overall functionality of this case--Highly Recommended.

Summary: Simply the best
Review: i have the SX830 and i was so impressed with it, i also purchased the SX1030 for my second PC. (Almost identical model, 1 more 3.5 and 1 more 5.25 drivebay, door over the 5.25 drives)

All rounded edges to avoid cuts, cavernous interiors and plenty of mounting options are had. i have excellent airflow with these cases, in particular the SX830 where my two 1.2ghz AthlonMP's are running at a comfortably cool 37c degrees. The latch on the cover is nice too, its sturdy enough that you don't need to use the screws to hold the cover on if you choose.

The two slight downsides are the lack of a removeable motherboard tray and the relatively large size of the case. The former is negated by the large size and excellence found in the rest of the design and the latter isn't an issue as i find them good sized for their function as workstation and serious game machine.

If you're in the market for a case, you'd be hard pressed to do better. i'll be buying more of these cases myself.

Summary: Build a system around the CASE!
Review: I read rave reviews of this case on amazon.com several weeks ago while looking for a cpu case. I fortunately was able to use my employee discount through my employer to get this case at near cost. Let me say this is perhaps the finest design and construction I have seen in a product in some time. Removeable front panels make putting in IDE drives a snap. The roomy inside makes installing everything a breeze. I absolutely love this case. The only thing I found lacking though, was a very detailed instruction manual, namely wiring info. However, few people skilled enough to build their own computer would read the manual anyway. Overall I rate this product a 4.95 out of 5.

Summary: Excellent case!!!
Review: I simply love this case. Great air flow and room to work. The side latch is tough and has held up over the 2 years I have had it. I built 2 systems around this case and passed my old mobo and cpu and built another system with a new case of which has been nothing but a headache. I will never buy anything other than Antec cases. The only thing that has started to fail is the removable hard drive tray latch. It sticks now, but still works. I will prolly have this case until mobo designs change.

Summary: great case!
Review: i used to believe that what really mattered about a computer was the "stuff inside" and the case didn't matter really (except the power supply that is.) however my old case was starting to get a little cramped with all the cords running around. my pc is mainly an extremely high quality audio workstation and can get quite hot sometimes when multiple inputs and such are live at once along with playback and effects running, this case kept everything quite cool the whole time and had plenty of space for all of my cords. another nice feature is it's detachable hard drive bay, which pops out, with the hit of a switch. there are two fans included with the case along with three more slots for optional fans (2 blowing air into the case and one to cool off the HDD's) the case itself is very well built, it is extremely sturdy and has no rough or sharp edges. i would highly recommend this or it's big brother the sx840 (same with 400w power supply) to anyone looking for a new case.

Summary: One of the best.
Review: On short, this is one of the best cases I have come across for home use. Very well made, and how many cases have a door latch? Athlon approved 300w power supply.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Solid Case!
Review: Very solid, and very well constructed! The edges inside have been rounded so you won't cut yourself when installing your components. The drive rails take some patience installing but well worth the effort. There is plenty of room for component expansion in the future. Instructions could use illustration, that would definitely make things easier for newbies. They package the case very nicely, and even include extra screws. I love the case so much, I'm thinking of buying another one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Top Quality Case
Review: While the case doesn't have a removable tray, the bay is large enough to make this a minor problem. 5.5 bays use nicely made slide rails. HDD cage pops out with a latch. External 3.5 bays have a removeable cage that pops out of the front once the bezel is removed. Completely screwless assembly. Comes with two 80mm case fans, and several mounting brackets for them. Design on front provides tons of slots for cooling air flow. The removable sidepanel with lockable handle is amazingly convenient, and fits perfectly. This case is an amazing value.
