Sick ass case but there's one huge problem. As we know there's front 2xusb2 and 2xusb3. Well my mobo doesn't support front usb3 but that's my doing not any flaw of the case , so whatever ill stick the the usb2 ports. one of them didn't work out of the box but I didn't notice shit til about a week or so after building my machine. And now the last working usb port I jave doesn't work. My theory is dust due to the fact that they are just pointing straight up, holes/dust pools, and they are not covered or protected by anything, even gravity. the glue used to put them on the case even sticks out a tiny bit.

At the end of the day its cool cuz I can just get a usb hub out the mobo ports but damn it its not a cheap case. Oh well at least I can still hide my money weed blunts and condoms in there lol

7/10, could have grammar'd more, and broken a few more rules.

But really, if you had serious issues with it, RMA the damn thing. Don't rant.

A tip; when you build, test everything. Everything. Every. Thing. If a product has a problem, I like to assume it was a manufacturing issue, and that more problems are to ensue, especially with hardware.

Yes, yours is a case, but still, you have plenty of things on it that you should have tested.

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

why don't you just exchange it from the place you bought it from. And please follow the forum rules and not break them. Thanks

Oh cmon... he didn't break any rules. He only gave up his stash location.. Which is commendable and brave.

 

Yeah, lets keep this rant going. My biggest problem with that case is the 2x5.25 bays. I have mine covered with duct tape, otherwise the hot air at the top gets sucked right back in through the intakes.
