    The description is simply wrong! The case has 3 external 5.25" drive bays and 6 internal 3.5" drive bays.
    It's still a fine entry level gaming box. there's a 120mm fan in the back, a 140mm fan on top and places for 3 more 120mm fans. Very quiet.

    Great case! Paint the inside black, add a couple of 120mm quiet fans and you've got yourself a great case.

    I agree, great case. I'm typing this out on a machine in one. But this is the normal price and I'd bet there are sales on better cases for the same price this weekend.

    This case comes on sale all the time for $35-$40 wait for that. Antec 900 usually comes on sale for $60 as well.

    Its 3 years old? I dont think so...

    Anyways, a nice case, free shipping is always good. Almost as quiet as my old P150 (now sonata 500???).

    Kids these days. There is no need at all for 4 x 120mm and a 140mm fan in an entry level gaming box. What that'll do is cause faster dust buildup even if it means cleaning out filter panels instead of dust inside everywhere.

    Unless you have no air conditioning and the room is ridiculously hot (in which case I recommend getting an air conditioner so the user is more comfortable too), an entry level gaming system will be cooled fine with a decently designed case with a single low RPM 120mm exhaust fan in addition to the PSU exhaust.

    Add a 2nd video card, or even more so two cards overclocked, it then helps to add a side intake fan blowing across the cards.

    Now for a shocker, if you're not building a system with a card over 50W or so you can even use a very low RPM 92mm rear case fan instead of 120mm.

    Once you realize what is really required vs unnecessary you can even build a gaming box in a case that really IS obsolete like a circa-'90 OEM case, all it needs is ample intake and exhaust areas, not several case fans.
