Good alternatives are the Corsair 300R, Sharkoon T9, Sharkoon T28 (come in green and red too), BitFenix Shinobi or Thermaltake Chaser A31. The Corsair and Thermaltake once are probably my favorite for that budget :)

It has a nice looking window. Exterior is simple and nice. Pretty decent case overall. Just my $0.02.

If you regard my facts as wrong, feel free to rectify it.

The window is what really drew me to this case as most cases around this budget have almost pathetic windows but i thought this was nice.

Corsair 300r is a pretty good case

It is a nice case but i really really dislike the airholes on the side, i think it makes the hole case look almost messy...

not knocking your Silverstone choice, but case tech has changed sine 2007 when

that case was released. and for the upgrades in the future, this choice is what you'll

see day-to-day.

 

might i suggest the fractal design arc midi R2.

Yeah that's my main dislike of it as well :(

I have been looking at the r2 but the window is a bit small for my liking, however i was recommended a case called the sharkoon t9 that i think has more merits and comes in at much less than the r2. I really am on a tight budget for this case unfortunately.

Yeah that's my main dislike of it as well :(

The overall design of the case of really nice but then there these ugly holes in the side... Oh well, cant have everything i guess. :(

Looks, size, know anyone who has it? Any comments at all?

I just don't like the front, a uniform brokeness with no personality to the case at all.

I know what you mean about the front and i think i will go for this case mainly because i am on a £55 budget for this case now and this is extremely nice for the cost.... It even has rubber grommets for cable management! I will upgrade the case to the 750D once i have brought a graphics card for my upcoming build.

That depends on the person...

I think It looks ok.

I agree that it looks okay, for close enough $60 i think it looks beautiful!!!!! :P
