AZZA Photios 250 Case? Should I Make an Executive Veto?

FAQBytes

Well, I've run into a predicament. 

 

I've been commissioned to build a PC for someone and they like aggressive looking gaming cases and came to me with this case (Not purchased yet). 

http://www.overclock.net/products/azza-photios250/reviews/7495

 

I normally don't need to go here for confirmation, but I've never worked with this case, or AZZA cases at all for that matter. 

 

Is the build quality decent enough? There's a lot I don't like about the case, but are for the most part minor things.  Would this simply be a bad case period, or if they like the way it looks would it just be something I put up with while building it? 

 

So, it really comes down to "Should I veto or let it slide?"

I have never heard of it, but have you showed them the noctis 450? it is a (sort of) similar looking case that has excellent build quality

That was my first impression as well, but it's over twice the price after rebate. I really like the Noctus 450, and have quite a bit of experience with it, but it didn't seem to vibe with him with the photos. 

 

If worse comes to worse, it could always be returned for a refund.

Yes it's a nice case with tempered glass.
