The case looks very nice, but the extreme overheating is a BIG problem. This case can't keep itself cool. The extreme heat could damage your components, or shorten their lifespan. At this time I cannot recommend this case to anyone. However, when I forwarded my reservations about this case to Monarch Computer Systems they contacted Enermax and the manufacturer is looking for solutions to this problem. If they redesign the case to include extra exhaust fans then this case will be a good one.
