Great Budget Case!,
The other reviews covered most of the bases but seeing as there’s a shortage of reviews, I decided to give a little input. First off, this is indeed an excellent purchase. If you’re looking for a quality case without the expense, you likely will not do better.
As previously mentioned, it’s worth noting the Technical Details imply the inclusion of a rear AND a front fan, however this is not the case. Additionally, though the extra fans I ordered appear to be identical [R4-L2R-20AC-GP - 1.9k rpm max, 1.7-1.8k sustainable] the included intake fan is significantly slower maxing out at just 1.2k rpm, 1.0-1.1k being sustainable. Not necessarily an issue, but also worth noting.
As an unexpected bonus, if you have a Prime Membership, the shipping at checkout may say not covered due to being oversize, however, it still ends up being free! The difference is it will be shipped standard UPS ground as opposed to 2-day (and I still received it in 2 days!).
There you have it; so long as you aren’t expecting a $200 case for $40, you will be thrilled. For the record though, it’s build quality and functionality is better than a handful of $80-$100 cases I’ve bought in the past!
[In-case anyone is interested in what I've found to provide the best cooling without spending hardly anything: In order to compress the airflow while reducing dust and noise, I completely blocked off both back ports and the top rear port with a thin piece of plastic cut to size and some double-sided foam tape, mounted one fan for intake on the side which of course provides direct airflow on the HDDs/GPU, and one on top for exhaust. To further reduce dust, you can use a screen for the side fan (at the expense of LED brightness, if applicable). The front already has a screen in place. My .02, hope it helps someone!]
Highly Recommended!

|best case for the money!!!,
This is an awesome case for the money, yes cable management can be a bit tricky but it’s still provides excellent air flow possiblities, it’s big enough to work around in, tooless design is nice, and one other thing I found to be a plus, something that you normally see in just higher in cases, is that when you take off the right side panel it gives you access to your cpu back plate, which is nice for those that want to install nice aftermarket coolers and don’t want to go through the hassel of removing everything and putting it back together.

|Nice Budget Case,
Everything worked fine when I installed my motherboard in this case. It even comes with a small motherboard speaker so you can hear any beeps on startup.
One caution look at the picture and description carefully. It only comes with one 120mm LED fan in the front. There are holes for a fan in the back of the case but they do not include any extra fans, just the single fan in the front.
