I've been looking at this one for quite some time now. I have decided to build a custom PC and this appears to be the best case that I have found (style and cash-wise). Loving the Black & Gold trim look, I have Never seen this or anything close to this before. The removable mobo tray will come in handy as well (something I do not have now). I was curious if anyone has anything bad to say about it before I shell out the cash? (roughly $140.)

Here's a review with many pictures:

From what I've been told Kingwin is a very nice and respected brand (somewhat new to actually building PC's).

Thank you in advance guys, looking forward to hearing what you have to say.

If you want a case in that sort of style, I'd suggest spending more and getting a LianLian. I personally like the Chieftec Aluminum Dragon's w/ window + 420W PSU for $130. That would be my choice, but if you want that "professional" look, get a nice LianLian for ~$200

OOO, nice. Its a tad small thou. Don't Try to fit a ton of stuff in it like a raid array and water cooling. It looks really awesome thou.

Wow! That looks awesome. I've heard good things about Kingwin, but don't have any personal experience with them.

I won't =) I could never afford watercooling even If I wanted to though, lol. I wouldn't want a full tower, ever tried to lug one of those around to a lan party? ack! I'll probably just do the average thing, except with nicer gear.

I checked out those cases you recommended Adidos, and I must say that Dragon series in general does look nice, but... I think my heart is set on this Kingwin.

I originally was going to order a case from colorcases.com for ease of use (their website is pretty straightforward) but after reading this forum, that thought quickly went away. Checked out that RR site and they were around a 4.4/10... that's horrible.

Thanks guys,
Paul

Wow, this case is pretty amazing. No regrets here, I would reccommend it to anyone who's looking for a black mid-tower /w features. I should have added on a side window for the extra $20, but regardless, very nice!:p:D
