The case is excellent. Plenty of room for my Geforce GTX 680 graphics card and still have the middle Disc drive bay installed (2-3" to spare). It was wide enough for the Nuctua NH-D14 (a very tall air CPU cooler). Also, I was able to route all my cables behind the motherboard to improve air flow and reduce clutter. The walls have acoustical padding to help quite the fan noise. Another big plus is the lint/dust screen under the case and in the front of the case to prevent hair and dust from entering the case by the fans. The case has a fan controller with three states 5v, 7v, and 12v. I used my Asus Motherboard's fan controller instead. However, the 7v state was best to provide cooling and keep the noise to a minimum according to anantech. The front top has (2) 2.0 USB and (2) 3.0 USB ports along with the mic and speaker ports. It was very convenient to rest a 3.0 USB external hard disc drive on top of the Case since it is completely flat. It comes with rubber grommets to reduce noise and vibration when installing SSD or HDD.
Cons: It is very heavy but I guess that helps with reducing noise. The doors are very hard to put back on however, you do not need any tools. The motherboard standoffs are not already installed so you have to figure out which holes to use depending on your motherboard size (ATX, etc...)

it's big, it's quiet, and it's grrrrrreat!! couldn't ask for much more in a case. just know that this thing is heavy when you try to move it and wide to accomodate large coolers. used to store two towers next to each other under my desk but can't fit another case next to this one (good reason to move my server elsewhere). wish the usb ports were a little more solid but they seem to be holding steady. also, wish the cpu cutout was a bit wider as it slightly covers two screws for backplate remove/install. i need to work on my cable management a bit better but even with leaving it sloppy i was easily able to close the side panel without hassle. would recommend this to anyone building their own pc as this thing is a breeze to work with and keeps things super quiet and super cool. A+ Fractal!!
