Athenatech A3701BB Media Center Chassis

The look of this case is second to none; anything that looks at home alongside your DVR or Receiver or DVD Player is worth checking out. Unfortunately, in your potential quest to produce an unorthodox-looking computer, you'll come up short in the logistics department.The biggest problem with this case lies at the fundamentals of its construction. The placement of the power supply is actually at the front (behind the EVO logo), which means your cables are going to come out right on top of your motherboard. In my case, I actually could not mount my graphics card because the cables got in the way. Unless your power supply has modular cable connections (so you don't have to worry about the cord-cluster), this case is going to be cramped full of cables and potentially turn the whole thing into a ticking time bomb of overheating, fan-jamming, or any of several other computer maladies.To make matters worse, while the placement of optical drives and a card reader is obvious, where the Hard Drive goes is actually kind of a guessing game. Logically, the only space in the case it fits into (sideways and next to the two optical drives) seems far too cramped and may lead to some overheating issues, provided that's even where you're supposed to put the drive in the first place.I ended up returning this case. I wanted to like it and it certainly looks cool enough, but it's just not right for my components, and given how commonplace those are, it probably won't be right for yours, either.

Super buy. A great case for the money. Assembly was very easy. One comment is the Asus board I used has the SATA on the side. The cables had to be installed first then the board installed.
