Apevia X-HERMES-BL ATX Mid Tower PC Gaming Case with 5 Fans, Large Blue Tinted Side Window, Front USB2.0/USB3.0/Audio Ports, Hard Drive Hot-Swap Bay - Black/Blue

This is a nice case. It has a whole bunch of things going for it that I did not expect.Pluses:- The case is black anodized aluminum. All of it, not just the main body.- It includes lots of mounting hardware and all the screws match the color of the case.- There are clear markings for where the stand-offs go for the common sizes of motherboard.- There are lots of places for hard drives.- The front panel covers are easy to remove, as are the metal slot covers.- There is a usb 2.0 adapter that will fit in a motherboard 3.0 socket.- There are LOTS of fans, including the biggest case fan I have ever seen.- Includes a SATA drive dock.Minuses:- The drive dock is shallow. (But there is space to mount another drive behind it.)- Not enough screws to install everything,- The big fan in the side panel is large enough to become a problem unless you have a low profile cpu heat sink. The fan is removable, but you lose the led lighting on that panel.I don't know yet about the case lighting. If needs be I can disable that. But I like green, so it might be OK.I am glad I bought it. I will be getting another when I build another system.

Needed a case upgrade and this case was perfect for what I wanted to do. Was able to easily change out the 5.25 bays and can even put the placeholders back if I needed to. A LOT of reviews seem to say the wiring is bad, the fans are ONLY molex powered, and the hard drive bay can't be moved. Unless there was another model before the one I got, this is NOT TRUE!- This case has every wire you need for this case and computer wire ties ARE included so you organize the wires neatly and safely- The fans have molex AND 3 pin connections so you can connect the fans to a fan controllers or wherever. Also, the fans are pretty quiet- The hard drive bay is mount to the bottom of the case and can be unscrewed and moved to your liking- Also (for anyone wondering), the hot swap bay is included and works flawlessly. I assumed one still had to be added, but I was happily wrong lolAll and all, this is a great case for whatever you need it for and I highly recommend it!

awesome case. Loads of Space, Looks awesome. very satisfied and would recommend to any one wanting a case for custom build. I feel this case had the best value, looks and quality. I installed a MSI 990fxa Gaming MoBo (new), Rip 2x2gb Ram (new), AMD FX 8320 eight core (used), XFX HD 7770 (used) and 120gb SSD/400 gb HD (new/used). All installed wonderfully and budget build only set me back $400.00 with shipping. I used mostly new/oped box items with a few 2nd hand items. I am very happy with this build and the case brought it all together without breaking budget. windows rated 7.4 base but everything else rated 7.8 out os a 1-8 point scale, eight being the highest.

PROS: Solid case, very sturdy. Please of room for multiple drives. Love the Hot-swap docking station built in.CONS: The power cable that goes to the large fan at the door of the case is extremely cheaply made and the sauder work that attaches the power cable to the fan was poorly done. I had to redo the sauder for the cable. One of the strands wasn't even saudered onto the fan when received. Thankfully, this was an easy fix. The 120mm fans that came with the case were molex powered and couldn't be connected directly into the MOBO. Sadly, the PSU I purchased didn't even come with any Molex cables. Would be reassuring if Molex to sata power adapters would have been provided. Thankfully, I had already purchased replacement fans. The provided fans are useful for cooling to anyone that has the adapters to be able to power them with their PSU, Power supply.q

Works great. Assembly was as expected. No problems. Tight, if you have a large GPU. But, I now use a RX 560 2GB GPU, so no problems.Did not use ANY of the included fans. Quality fans are MISSION CRITICAL, so I did myself a favor and use quality fans of a proven brand and model!I use Aero Cool Shark, and Corsair Air Series purple led fans. I love purple!!!! Sandisk plus SSD boot, WD 10K for games, and WD Blue for media, AMD FX-8320 w/ Wraith Cooler, 8 GB RAM, Windows 10 64.Only issue I've haad is the headset adapter might need slight resetting in the port to make solid connection. But, then again, it might be my adapter, not the port.Otherwise, great deal! I got mine for $60!
