Its much better then the white verson I purchased in the past the covers are painted to to match and the finish is nicer

the things I dont like about it is the lack of dust proofing on the bottom and back air vents also I dont care much for the placement of the 3.5" drive I wish that the would have swithced the placement with the ssd's but overall its a fun case to build in

Is it real silver or is it plastic made to look like silver? And is it a fingerprint magnet?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181062&cm_re=H110-_-35-181-062-_-Product

Vs the 145 for the enermax

Oh well, It still looks good anyway. And as long as it wont attract too many fingerprints, i'm fine. im tired of my brother just masturbating with the case.

For your APU? lol. But that cooler seems interesting, might do more research, thanks for sharing  ;)
