Would you reccomend this case?

I really need a new case. I was looking at this one right here

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156078

The RAIDMAX SMILODON Extreme Black. I know it's really ugly. I really dont care how my case look becasue I just want it to function. What I like about this is the 4 fans and the fold out tray.

It looks pretty cheesy though. How is the build quality on this? Is it flimsy?

If you decide that this case is a piece of crap, I'm open to suggestions. Pretty much anything under $100.

Thanks.
 
Take a look at the black NZXT Apollo case. I've built two computers with this case and the owners love them. Classy looking, side window, blue light. One owner calls it her Darth Vader computer. Internal wiring was decent quality, and drive mount framework solid and nice to work with. I liked its description before I bought, and like it better after I saw it and actually used it.

Edit: Forgot to mention I added another 120 mm fan just to be sure I had good air circulation. Did not even try it without the extra fan, but they certainly run very cool with the added fan.

This looks almost exactly like a Sigma case I just got last week.

One or both of the fans on the side (both are only 80mm) will get in the way of things.
Definitely the top one which is supposed to help feed fresh air to the CPU's HSF
I'm using a Tuniq Tower 120 on a Q6600, and that fan kept the side panel from closing.

If your budget is up to $100, look around [H]ere, plenty of Antec P180s for sale.

Great cases and great cooling, can't really go wrong with one of these ;) GL!
 
I'd take a Coolermaster RC-500 / 590 / 690 over a Raidmax anything any day. Far better build quality, and better layout too.

The Antec P180/P180B/P182 is also a great option if you want good airflow and quiet.

There are plenty of LianLi PC series cases in that price range as well, and they're some of the best on the market period if you don't mind a more subdued, classy look.
