This case came with everything as described. Looks great, and Keeps my MB at a cool 89 degrees.. The case came with three fans. Couldn’t ask for anything better.
Thank you

Pros: Despite the title, this is an extremely nice case
Cons: I normally don’t dig computer bling. A longer eSata connector would’ve been nice (Mine isn’t long enough to fully open the mobo tray.
Other Thoughts: If you go with this, you’ll want to take ownership if you’re going with a beefy non-modular PSU (as it will jam the case and mess up airflow) and/or a use a beefy CPU cooler (as it may jab into the fan.) Also, the larger vid cards will block access to the bottom HDD bays, even with the turn mechanism.
I didn’t do my research, and thus had all the above problems. However, if you look closely the fan can be replaced with a smaller one on the side (this worked for me – which will blow right on the vid card, but keep coolers like the Hyper 212 Plus.) And the monster vid card just is what it is.
In retrospect I’d go with a modular PSU and maybe watercooling on the CPU. (However, make sure the pump cords are long enough to safely open the mobo tray.)

|Great Price/Very Nice Case for the Money,
Found the same case at an electronics behemoth here in San Diego for about $25.00 more, although the store item was the black case and included a power supply. Since I intended to build the PC from the ground up, choosing every component, I opted for the Raidmax case in white offered by Amazon. With shipping included for the price, it was a great deal. Case arrived in decent time and without any damage.
Case seems well built, and was easy to work with. Only concern was with the hinged side cover that got stuck and bent the case frame sheet metal slightly, but we were able to bend it back into place. You need to watch how the side cover opens and unhinges so as to not damage the frame.
Components were a breeze to install. Case comes with some supplied hardware, although we did find ourselves with not enough standoffs for the motherboard (only came with 8 and we needed 9).
Very satisfied with our purchase.
