Good case? or no.

looks entirely too cramped for me personally. and i think cases are getting to the point now where it's like "what? your harddrive cage isn't removable?" so i'm not a fan of that on that case in particular.
 
Your 3 HDDs will rack up a lot of heat, and that's where the front 120mm comes in to cool them off. This is a very good thing. The swing-out mobo tray is a nice feature, but this ease of use is crippled in my opinion by the forward sliding side panels, stupidly forcing you to remove the front bezel to take off a side. Consider modding the single 80mm fan mount to 92 or 120 (though 120 might be impossible to have concurrently with the swing-out tray) if you feel that a single rear 80+PSU is inadequate for heat exhaust.

XE tells me that this thing costs $76.53 USD(also factoring that the USD is weak right now) you should look into something like the Antec SLK3700-BQE which has dual 120mm fan support. I hope I wasn't too verbose.

too expensive for what it is.....

not to mention tigerdirects shipping is probably astronomical.
 
I'll admit that it looks good in the picture. The PSU's wattage is probably falsely advertized like all but the top end like Zippy, Enermax or PCP&C. Don't get it if you're able to get a good PSU and case.
 
Another vote for the Lian Li, bought one, easily the best cases out there.
Antec Aluminum full towers arent to bad, they are flimsy to you get ur stuff in then they are alright and they are only like $60.
Really it all depends on what you are going to use it for, how much you are going to work with it, and i would never use a generic PSU. I have had like 3 in the past month that died in less than a month (generics that came with cases)
 
You could get a Praetorian for that price. (But doesn't come with a PSU, even though I would get a new one if I bought that case)
 
HA! Yeah, I use these cases at work. I order them (have 3) for servers. As soon as I get them I dump the power supply because it's a mobo killer and replace them with Antec Tru550EPS12V units. The case isn't bad but it's not a super wonderful. For a unit that just sits in a closet, it's great. It is roomy. I get mine at NewEgg. It fits larger server mobo's with ease.
