I will put a 0 or negative if available against product and seller. The product is poor in quality for a brand name like ANTEC. Many issues such as parts misalignment, wobbling and etc. The worse part is the return, the seller provided a return label for return but asked buyer to contact and get RA from ANTEC. Good luck with that when you shipped product back with the return label that you have to pay, tracked and etc. What a sneaky way to do so!

The flaring at the bottom of front bezel is annoying.

Has a lot of space for hard drives.and bays expansion.Lots of spaces inside.Metal is thin gauge steel so it doesn't do anything to reduce noise.

Overall, it's a good computer case. There are enough external bays, internal bays, and a couple usb ports on the front. The downside is that it is made from fairly thin sheet metal and there are no provisions for fans on top of the case. But if your plans are to assemble a basic system and leave it alone, it will work just fine. There is just not a lot of room for extra cooling options. I use it for a medium grade gaming system, and it stays cool. I can run Fallout 4 and GTA5 at full graphics with no issues.

All the criticisms of this case are true. There's a few funky hole locations, no cable management space, and flimsy sheet metal. But it is one of the few cases with enough 5 1/4 front panel bays, which is exactly what I was looking for. I'm building a utility box to save files, test distros, and record from an old Sony DV camera. This box fit the bill. Every old desktop box I had, I was constantly crawling under the desk and switching hard drives and stuff. With that in mind, I put a 6 bay icy dock, drive switch, USB 3.0 panel. and a multi port card reader on the front panels. Its a budget build, so I didn't want to break the bank on the case. I did a couple of light mods including mounting a couple fans on the side panel for intake. This case was an excellent solution to my problems.

Fantastic case for the price. Perfect for a cheap build. The case is lightweight, thin, and cheap, but just sturdy enough to work. Discrete styling, easy to access case buttons and USB 3 and audio jacks. Rare to find three external 5.25 drive bays in this price range.A lot of sharp edges, so be careful. The plastic 3.5 bay cover was exceptionally difficult to pop out.The case is small and cramped. Everything will fit, barely. It is clearly smaller in comparison to the Antec Sonata II below it in the photos (although the Sonata II cost twice as much). No fancy drive rails for easy installation, but none to misplace either.Cable management can be challenging due to the tight space.Very tight fit getting the motherboard installed. There is less than a quarter inch between the motherboard and the 5.25 drive mounts, and even less once the power cable is plugged into the motherboard.Keep the included screws in a safe place, because they are all smaller than typical case screws. such as the motherboard standoffs and screws, and the pci card screws.Airflow is good due to the large perforated area above the motherboard and cpu, however dust might be an issue.Overall, affordable and cheap but works. I'd buy it again.

For the build quality and the absolute stupidity of the internal layout, this case should have been priced around $10. For one thing, if you have a graphics card, you can't screw the HDDs in their bays, and you can't insert the top HDD at all unless you do it before you install your motherboard

this is probably the cheesiest case I have ever attempted to use in the last 35+ years of assembling desktop computers. The metal is so thin, it only has one side. The motherboard mounting standoffs are not the standard thread thats been around for many years. The standoffs rotate in the sheet metal and won't tighten up to allow the motherboard screws (which are not standard threads, which results not being able to fully seat the motherboard screws to the standoffs).If I could give this product less than 1 star, I would gladly do so. ANTEC was once reputed as top tier in the industry, but sadly, those days are long gone for this company. This case is so much a piece of junk, I'm just going to eat the cost and send it to the metal recycler. I would NOT recommend this case to anyone. Pay a little more and get a head and shoulders a higher quality case. UPDATE - After further attempts to use this piece of garbage, it is next to impossible to get the motherboard mounting screws to line up properly to mount the board. Ended up ordering and additional mounting screw kit that included standoffs and "nuts" to have the ability to secure the standoffs to the case. It is a sad state of affairs that ANTEC cheaped-out by having this case made in China. This is a very, very, very poor quality product. Do not buy this or any other ANTEC products.

I bought this case for a multi drive NAS system so I will write my review according to that. First off this is a cheap case so keep your expectations in line with the price. This will not compare in quality to say a $200 case for example. I got this case because of all the drive bays in it. 6 total 3.5" if you use the 1 external as well for hard drives, or 8 if you grab a couple of 3.5 to 5.25" adapters (this is what I did). Few things to note here. First it only officially supports 2 fans, but you can add 2 more 120's ones on the side with the venting spot if your creative. 90/92's would fit better I think. Second there is NO room in the back to hide cables so be ready for that when cable managing. Why they bother to put cable ties back there I have no idea. Last there are a few "sharp" edges to this case so watch sliding your fingers around, Overall I am quite pleased with this case for what I bought it for.
