Buy what is appealing to you! Buying and building a computer is like
buying a car and not everyone has the same preferences. What you like
someone else will hate, and vice versa! It's your computer - get what
you will be happy with!

IMO it's one of the best case values available. Find my review of it
through groups.google.com, and see the customer reviews at newegg. Get
the best price through pricegrabber or similar.

Great ventilation, well designed, well made, with a very good power
supply. The box is kind of big if you are using only two hard drives.
Not sure, but the power supply may be marginal if you are using four
HDs. See also the SLK2650 and SLK1650.

I have three HD's at the moment, and will be putting in my True 550.

Then at the moment the SL350 that comes with the case should be big
enough for a spare. Or you could get something for it on ebay.

I have this case and it is extremely quiet and well built. The main
thing I see wrong with it is that the front does not seem to attach that
well. The front looks flimsy but is not really that flimsy. It has a
couple of things on the top that like to break off. However, they do
not seem to make a differrence. When I try to pull on the front it does
not seem to want to move so it must still go on tight.

There is an airfilter that can not be accessed any other way other than
removing the front so I removed the Air Filter.

There is 120mm fan in the rear and room for one in the front. The hard
drive mounts are designed to be used with special screws and rubber
gromments to insulate the hard drive from the mounting holes and bracket
so there is no vibration transferred to the metal case. Since the drive
bracket for the hard drives is in the front resting on the bottom of
the case the airflow goes right past the hard drives keeping it/them
cool. It has a plastice front with a kind of silver-grey color.
However the side is about the same color only it is a metalic gray paint.

It is very solidly built. It is not really large, it is just well built.

Thanks for all the replies.

I have the case now and am very pleased with it.
