Lester - Mixing crack and Meth is a problem you say?
Let’s all intervene... nay
As for this case better than that Rosewill R103A from yesterday for $5 more. Sure your playing a rebate here, but you get 3 fans, audio I/O, a window and not half as Fugly.

Is a window a good thing on a case that looks generic inside, is thin enough metal the window will reduce structural integrity and contribute to rattling a little more, and that is shaped around the 80mm side fan mount so you have no option to make that fan larger?
IMO, the free shipping is the only part making it half a deal, but overall it's bound to be worse than it looks, probably best to pass in favor of something sturdier.

Sturdy for $30 isn't the prevalent find, although cases like Ikonik Taran or NZXT can be found at times $10-15 with free shipping that's more investment. I'd call this better than most other low end deals, especially like the one I had pointed to. I don't normally say cut corners on the case you pick, but other times a good cheap case that gets moved and/or opened once every 6 months it's really is moot.
True, I'd rather it without a window, but you dave of all the guy's here can't 'look past that. I'd just cut a piece of 1/4" acrylic panel and 86' the fan placement. It might be tough to work around the finger grab or I'd just cut it out completely. But a very simple mod for me been doing since 1992.
