Great product plenty of space and the fans brilliant. love the slidy draw things! the only draw back was after i put my computer in there and went to power it up, the button fell through, so i then had to re-open it and swap the power and re-set LEDS round:(

what can i say, it's an amazing case for the price- it has a massive amount of space for multiple extras, add-ons and cable management and not to mention a quite stylish case for the price. thanks novatech for the quick delivery yet again.

Pros: * Love the hard drive trays. * Cable management and liquid cooling features * Plenty of space inside the case * Doesn't look like the love child of a disco lighting system and a Dalek (I'm looking at you Zalman Z11 plus...) * Excellent quality for the price. Cons: * Motherboard spacers where impossible to screw in by hand and didn't fit either of my tools. Luckily I never throw these things away so I had enough that did fit my tools to use. * Right-side panel (the one behind the motherboard) is a little tricky to get on because of the locating tab on the back of the case not quite lining up with the hole in the side panel. Knocking 1 star off for the motherboard spacers problem as if I wasn't such a kleptomaniac I'd have been royally shafted until I could get in to town to buy a bigger tool.

I bought this case as part of a bare bones bundle in September 2012, I got home and had it put together within half hour. As soon as I pressed the on button, it fell through to the bottom of the case, requiring me to open up the entire front section to find it and had to super glue it back together. As it came with a motherboard, ram, cpu etc... pre-installed you would expect a lot of cable management? Nope. Every cable was hanging free in the case which took a long time re routing it all, and it still looks messy. However, that being said, I was impressed with the amount of expansion available for HDD's and optical drives, and the fan speed control on top

I was very apprehensive over purchasing this case as the height would cause problems over my planned new desk , I decided that the desk came second priority and I'm glad that i did, The structure is well made and I was able to build my rig without "china cuts" from thin sheet metal. Once populated the case does have significant weight but the most important thing to me was the case width , as I was also purchasing an CM EVO 212 cooler I was not overly sure that it would fit, but should you wish to purchase this case with the hope of it being a gaming rig, that I can happily confirm that not only does it handle a evo 212 , it does so with space to spare. My only negative comment would be that it would have been better to have the USB ports shielded as I can see them being a significant dust magnet over time. Otherwise excellent purchase, good service and good value for money

This case is brilliant and is very good quality. The lights and the fan controller is amazing. The only problems I had was that the Novatech 600w PSU didn't fit properly and only managed to fit 3 screws, but that isn't a problem. Also be careful where to place the side of the case or it can get scratches.

What can I say!!! What a great case, neatly packaged. The small front panel that has a filter for the 2 x front fans can be released by pressing the button and just push-in to refit. I liked the idea where the small box that stored the screws, stand-offs etc was fitted into a HDD frame, not taped own like some cases. It was easy to pull out. Like I said before I was going to buy another case to replace my sons current case. Well this is it. We upgraded his PC by replacing his graphics card, power supply, memory and CPU cooler with a water cooler. We will be fitting an SSD drive at a later date. We replaced the rear fan with 2 new 120mm quiet fans for the cpu water cooler. If you want a realy quiet PC then you would be best to replace all the fans with quiet fans. My son plays games with his headphones on so it didn't matter if it was blowing a gale he wouldn't hear them anyway. The 140mm rear fan we removed was used on the bottom of the case. With the cable managment slots it made the fitting easier where we could push any cables through the back for routing and later attachment. I fitted an XFX HD7870 graphics card and it went in without any problems. The extra space between the optical and the HDD bays allowed me to have room for my hands. Fitting the power supply was easy, again pushing the cables through the cable management holes for routing later. The dust covers at the base of the case is a nice touch. There is also room for a further 2 x fans here. We installed another 5 x fans. 2 x top, 1 x bottom, 1 x side panel for HDD cooling and 2 x side panel next to cpu and graphics card. The cable routing was easy and the 3 cable ties supplied with the case were usefull but more were needed, but thats a personal choice. In all it took us an hour to get his case booted up. Everything was easy, neat and tidy. No scratched hands no fighting cables. The NOVATECH DELIVERY WAS EXTRA SUPERB........ Online booking at 4:30pm case arrived 11:30am next morning and that was with free delivery. Superb !!!!. We bought some of our equipment from ARIA and they took £6.95 for next day. These items took 3 days from booking to arrive. Two days for delivery according to the tracker with City Link, and they were delivering till 9pm for Xmas, still arrived a day late. Needless to say I have asked for the return of the delivery charge. I would have used Novatech for these items but they didn't stock them. OVERALL A GREAT EXPERIENCE

Great service as experienced before from Novatech. I bought this case from Novatech on ebay as a refurbished case. I won the bid at 7pm, had confirmation from Novatech of delivery next day and received the case the next day after that. The case is a good clean design although not top of the range. The switches are delicate and the decal could be better to show the functions. I am building a new PC and the parts fitted with no problems and the room for cable management is excellent. For anyone looking to buy this case for £50 has got a good deal. May replace my sons case with this one. I like.

After years of paying for expensive Coolermaster cases, I bought a Vortex. I can honestly say its a great case. Plenty of room for a decent gaming rig, very well ventilated with options to place fans at the top. All vents are filtered and cable holes are all grommet-ed.
Button issue has been investigated but it is very very rare. I hope it has been sorted out but please always contact our customer service team who will be glad to help you at any time.
