    Jiminy Christmas, this chassis is a great example of everything that is wrong with current chassis design trends. Ugh.

    Simple, cheap, decent airflow, good cable management. Nice case for the price.

    Really like the simple looks but at almost £50 there's no way I'd buy one.

    Man, it's so much more expensive in the UK :(

    Are you talking about looks? Functionality? Features?

    You can get the NZXT Source 210 (same exact case minus one 140mm fan and USB3.0) for $30

    I have one (210), best $30 case there is. Better than the Antec 300 which sells for 2x the price.

    Greg, where are you seeing $30?

    Newegg has it for $40...

    Looks like a good case for my next gaming PC build in the spring, after Ivy Bridge and 7000 series GPUs come out.

    Ooh... this looks like a candidate for my home server rebuild.

    Perfect choice for the computer I'm building for my mother's Christmas present... Thanks for the heads up!

    I recently bought the 210 and just installed all of the components for my mother's Christmas present. It is a simple case, but had all the things I needed. The enclosure doesn't feel cheap at all and it came with enough screws to install everything I needed.

    The only drawback (and it's not much of one) was that of the 7 fan installation locations, only one of these were able to install a 95 mm fan. This probably isn't too much of an issue for most people, but I had a 95 laying around and decided to throw it in instead of throwing it away. The only location for this fan was the rear panel and so I had to move the pre-placed fan somewhere else. This meant I had to cut some zip ties and re-route the wiring for the fan. No big deal though.

    All in all, I like the 210 alot and will probably look at one of these cases (the 210 or 220) for my next bargain computer build. Thanks for the heads up, guys!
