Bought this case and a few things to cover. It is ideal for those ATX motherboards which needs to get squeezed in to a small case. When looking at the case it does appear large, but you can lay it down flat and then it fits in most small areas. It does come with two intake fans (non LED) in the front so no need to buy a rear one. You can invert your power supply and so the air gets sucked in through the side and exhausted to the rear. I have a small GT430 Asus Nvidia video card and using the special PCIe adapter was easy to use. I tried with my GTX 980 Ti from MSI and it still fit so this case while small has areas that you can fit almost anything. Remember, you can remove the rubber feet and lay this thing flat.
On the downside it is a bit weak in areas as the case will flex once you remove the side panels, but not a deal breaker unless you like picking up your computer frequently then this will be an issue. But if you just leave it be and just turn on and off then it suits well. The front mesh allows you to see any lights inside the case, even from your motherboard so this may be a detractor. For me it is not as my lights turn on and then off, but just an FYI to those. Last but not least is the cable management. All the space for your hardware came at a price; cable management. There is not enough spacing anywhere to run most of the cables. My system has one SSD, no CD-rom, USB 3.0, the motherboard off/on cables, power cables to the SSD, SATA cables to the SSD and power cables to the motherboard and CPU power. The GT430 does not require a power cable thank God. So with those cables only I was still hard pressed to make room in the case to prevent any cable from obstructing airflow. In the end if I had more drives, a video card that needed power cables then this would have been a more challenging task.
Overall though the case was a savior since my motherboard was a big ATX and most cases today handle micro-ATX or even smaller. The case is nice with the black interior and window which when laid down you can see the inards. The fans are quiet and I used the motherboard connectors and UEFI to control their speeds. Ample room and the PCIe special adapter works like a charm.
