Good price, excellent laid out interior, good air flow and the looks.

All the yellow plastic and that bright logo on the front, Not really a con, just a minor irritation, that's all.

I got this case, Mainly because I was tired of lugging around an Antec 1200 to my friends houses and other lan parties. It sits as a micro atx but yields much more. The original review and a few others pegged this thing to have two Hard drive bays in the bottom, there is three that can also be converted to two 5-1/4 bays on the quick. the fans that come with it are ok to get you going, they are quiet and do move some air but my need to put better fans kicked in in the first week. I installed a Corsair H50 in the front of this case and it fits just right and being on the front it pulls the colder air in first as apposed to how I had seen some others mounting theirs on the top fan area. Of course by doing this the biggest card that will fit now cannot exceed 11 3/4 inches in length. The ability to hide your cabling in this case is phenomenal, especially if you have a modular power supply. The USB 3.0 connector is a real nice setup, the satin black interior is a feature found in higher ended higher cost cases but you can have that among the other well though out features for under $80. The Lock loop is a plus for me as half the cases out there don't even have them anymore. The logo on the front could be used to maneuver a dark highway, I put a thin piece of tinted Lexan on mine, you can still see the logo, just not from space anymore. I looked at the NZXT Vulcan real hard but in my opinion this case beats it by a long shot. Yes the Vulcan gives you a handle but not near as much room as the Dragon Slayer for your innards. Looking back at my purchase there are no regrets.
