Apevia X-HERMES-BL ATX Mid Tower PC Gaming Case with 5 Fans, Large Blue Tinted Side Window, Front USB2.0/USB3.0/Audio Ports, Hard Drive Hot-Swap Bay - Black/Blue

Great case with nice durability.I'm a college student with colors that are blue and chose this case after looking at a lot of others because of the structural design this case offers. The material is very durable as I move this case (using the box provided with it) to move from school and home often and hasn't failed once!I enjoy the 200mm sad fan and front fan that lights up as It's just bright enough to enjoy and look at while gaming and the lights aren't distracting even when running it over night while falling asleep.Pros-normal/slightly bigger mid-tower case for room that allows air flow-color and lights are bright enough that it isn't distracting when gaming-easy to unscrew and take off both side panels-left side panel (where you should put all your cables like my picture) has plenty of space for cables to stack up.Cons-could use a few more holes/openings to run cables.-in order to get cable management the way you want it you might have to unscrew someif not all of the case fans to make the cables reach to where you want them. (though that's also the joy of building your own PC)-could use more room between the power supply and the MoBo to allow cables more room in case you want to have 2 Video Cards installed.Notes-The front of the case is simple/ annoying to take off but not too big of an issue. to go with that the front panel usb/headjack piece might be tiny bit loose so check it. if it is you will have to take off the front only a little to tighten the screws in to secure it. Easy fix but a little annoying (I assume they did it for shipping safety).-My video card's back (where you plug in the hdmi/display/dvi cables) is slightly high to where the cable doesn't go in all the way but in the time ive had the case it hasn't been an issue. This could be the case or it might my my Mobo but it doesn't bother me as i almost didn't know about it until i played around with my hardware.For the price it is great, however if you intend to have a lot of cables running around inside I would look for a corsair or similar brand with big and many holes to run cables. Other than that I am pleased with it.

This is a nice case. It has a whole bunch of things going for it that I did not expect.Pluses:- The case is black anodized aluminum. All of it, not just the main body.- It includes lots of mounting hardware and all the screws match the color of the case.- There are clear markings for where the stand-offs go for the common sizes of motherboard.- There are lots of places for hard drives.- The front panel covers are easy to remove, as are the metal slot covers.- There is a usb 2.0 adapter that will fit in a motherboard 3.0 socket.- There are LOTS of fans, including the biggest case fan I have ever seen.- Includes a SATA drive dock.Minuses:- The drive dock is shallow. (But there is space to mount another drive behind it.)- Not enough screws to install everything,- The big fan in the side panel is large enough to become a problem unless you have a low profile cpu heat sink. The fan is removable, but you lose the led lighting on that panel.I don't know yet about the case lighting. If needs be I can disable that. But I like green, so it might be OK.I am glad I bought it. I will be getting another when I build another system.

Needed a case upgrade and this case was perfect for what I wanted to do. Was able to easily change out the 5.25 bays and can even put the placeholders back if I needed to. A LOT of reviews seem to say the wiring is bad, the fans are ONLY molex powered, and the hard drive bay can't be moved. Unless there was another model before the one I got, this is NOT TRUE!- This case has every wire you need for this case and computer wire ties ARE included so you organize the wires neatly and safely- The fans have molex AND 3 pin connections so you can connect the fans to a fan controllers or wherever. Also, the fans are pretty quiet- The hard drive bay is mount to the bottom of the case and can be unscrewed and moved to your liking- Also (for anyone wondering), the hot swap bay is included and works flawlessly. I assumed one still had to be added, but I was happily wrong lolAll and all, this is a great case for whatever you need it for and I highly recommend it!

this is a very good case, though i did find a few flaws or lack of information that would make this an easier choice for case buyerspros: spacious case, fans are included(also a flaw), looks great, enough space for cable management, accessible usb ports, the hot swap port works well, case window can be modded easily which i unfortunately had to do because of my cpu coolercons: 200mm window fan limits tall cpu coolers, non removable drive cages, fans were molex vs 4 pin which means they run all the time unless connected to a fan controller or an adapter which i ended up buying to connect to the m/b, fans were also mounted in a way they were in the optimal position for case management but easily fixed by removing the screws and reinstallingoverall i am happy with this case except for the fact that i had to mod the case to accomodate my cpu cooler which caused me to lose the window fan and since the side windows didnt look to good with all that holes and it also made air flow ineffiicient i had to modify with some lexan which was an easy process but an added cost. i had researched cpu coolers and this case intensively and the cpu cooler should have fit, anyway there are better cases for the price but it still rates a 4 IMO.
