Well, the build quality is so, so. Main customer complaints about a pretty flimsy front door that have broken in some cases ( no pun intended lol). Myself, I don't like the 2 X 80mm fans. More noise added and less good airflow.

For that kind of money or maybe 10 - 15 bucks more there are better cases.

That Raidmax case costs $89.45 CAD at NCIX. DirectCanada does'nt stock this case.

The Antec Nine Hundred case costs 105.21 CAD at DirectCanada

If you buy the Nine Hundred, you get some serious cooling and a well buildt case. If I where to go 8800 series and SLI. The 900 or the Antec P182 would be my first choises for a case.

A good case can live thru a cople of rigs. So in the long run, a quality case is cheap.

My Antec P180 is at it's 2:nd rig in 2 years btw.

Edit.

Another nice case is this:

Or if you want a very silent, high quality fan as front intake (picture below)
