I bought another one
R. Offmann✓ Verified Purchase•November 16, 2023
I bought one and found it sufficient and then bought another. I got lucky and found a discounted one that was listed with package damage for under $33. The case was perfect and I threw the box away, so it was a win. As far as the case goes, it's suficient for a mATX build. I like that it has two USB 3.0 ports on the front as well as a reset button. I also have a Fractal Core 1100 which is about the same size and better metal, but the Fractal case only has one USB 3.0 on front and no reset button. I like the look of the Antec better, too, but that's a matter of opinion. The rear fan is decent and I added another 92mm front fan. Good air flow. Large vented side panel. Can't do any cable management behind the board side panel, but with modular PSU, I don't have many cables to hide. I just tucked the power cable into the 3.5" bay since it was empty due to the SSD mount being on the bottom of the 3.5" bay. The rest of the cables tucked into the 5.25" bay under the DVD drive I installed in the top bay. The case screws require a Phillips screw driver to remove, but I replaced those with thumb screws right away (I found those on Amazon sold by Koolertek, a family owned business in the USA). The front panel is nice looking and well ventilated. Comes off fairly easy. The metal on the front and back is a bit flimsy and can have some sharp edges, but it's a budget case so it's to be expected. I'd buy another for a budget build.
Spacious tower for a PC build

I installed a Gigabyte B365M DS3H motherboard in this case. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Cooler with 4 Heatpipes was a bit of a squeeze, but does fit. I threw an Arctic F12 fan on the case door and used another to replace the included back panel fan (because it was a 3-pin instead of 4). A Thermaltake SMART 600W power supply fit nicely in the top, and all of the panel fittings have made their connections to the Gigabyte motherboard (except for the headphone jack, which I will have to go digging for some day.
I wish there were drive rails for mounting the drives "” currently I have a couple of SSDs floating around and a spinny drive screwed in to the drive cage.
It would be nice if there was built-in cable management, but I just have to pay attention to where the cables go, and velcro ties are easy to come by to force them to behave.
I don't know about the complaints of the thinness of the metal "” it's sheet metal. Many (most? all?) of the edges are turned, so I haven't cut myself as I did on so many of the "golden age" cases of the 90s.
It's nice that both side panels come off, for ease of access to the sides of the drive cage. If the cage actually came out, that would be even nicer, but there's a reason this is a budget case.
The front panel power LED is blue, and not over-powering. The power button and reset button are different sizes to help keep from pushing the wrong one.
All in all, I'm very satisfied with this build. I anticipate being able to install a good-sized video card when the money comes along for it, although I may need to remount the fan from the inside of the door to the outside, depending upon how tall the card is. Airflow seems good based upon the slow speed of the cooling fans. (6 core system tends to hover around 40° C).
==================
Update 11-2023
I've been using this case for three years now, and it's still doing what I need it to do. Having changed the drive setup a few times I am more unhappy with the drive bays than I was, but it's still doing what I need it to do. The microATX board I put in doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the case, so I'm actually shopping for a larger board that will give me another expansion slot. I did not have to move the fan on the side panel when I added the graphics card, which just barely fit in the space from the back of the case to the drive cage.
I did get the headphone jack wired, but whether my MB is different than what the case was expecting, or some other reason, it seems to only send one channel, so I normally use my headphones with Bluetooth. I still think the sheet metal is fine for what this case is doing, and I still appreciate the ease with which the side panels come off. There seem to be more options now than when I built this system, so I might go with a different case depending upon what I found, but I have no regrets on this one, and it keeps the five star rating.

Just right for my needs

I needed a case to build out a small server that had 3 5 1/2 slots open in the front for a small raid cage. This was it. It's nothing fancy, but took the raid, a redundant power supply and everything else I needed. They do not include any back panel covers, so only remove the ones you need. Not super heavy duty, but all metal and gets the job done.
Decent case but expected a little more for the price

I have bought Antec cases for years, and the quality has been worse in recent years. For this price point I hoped for better. The rear case screw threads as well as mobo standoff threads were sub standard, and easily stripped. I was hoping Antec would provide more motherboard standoffs in general. I needed to buy another 120mm case fan for the front, which I felt should be included.
Be wary of the HD Audio front panel cable
Amazon Customer✓ Verified Purchase•September 8, 2023
Nice simple little micro-ATX case with a fat quiet 80mm rear fan. Be aware of the HD Audio front audio cable, do not plug it in to your micro-ATX motherboard's HDA pins if you are going to pull out the front case panel (to install the optical drive, hot-swap drive bay, etc), the cable will pull out and will bend your motherboard's HDA pins (fortunately I straighten them out without issues) if it is positioned on the left corner of the motherboard. The case looks like a smaller cousin of the CoolerMaster Centurion case I had before, without the aluminum fascia and the heavier weight. Antec did not furnish enough metal motherboard standoff for a micro-ATX motherboard, just only one plastic standoff, so I had to put in two more metal standoff from my spare supply to that case in the right-hand side of the new motherboard. My primary SSD fit in the bottom of 2.5" rack without issues. The front panel's power LED and storage (HDD) lights are less brighter and less obnoxious than my old CoolerMaster Centurion case. In all, the case is clearly much smaller and lighter than my mid-ATX CoolerMaster Centurion, and I like it.
