just thought id see if any of you guys have this case and what you think of it? thinking of getting one myself and wanted to check what you thought of build quality and design. also will this be big enough to fit a 8800gtx? cheers
 
it's the best case you're going to get for <50 quid according to everyone on here, the next best up would be the lian li pc-7+ so quite a price gap
 
They aren't that fantastic. There is a really bad inlet at the front of the case, the side panels don't fit very well and the rear 120mm fan is a tight fit.

EDIT: I'm talking about the Zen btw

Built a pc in a 182 the other day, and i must say, it was a dream to work in... cable management was second to none (of cases that i've played with anyway..)
 
I built a Zen up for somebody a few months ago.

I found it to be as cheap and plasticky and tacky as you would expect for £30.

The power buttons silver surround was loose, I had to remove the front bezel and glue it up to make it secure, the front flap for the optical drive is flimsy at best and when the tray is open the eject button is covered up so you have to push the tray shut...

Being honest, it felt to me like all the Akasa range, flimsy and cheap... but at least it was actually cheap ;)

A bottom end Antec for the same money is what i'll be using in the future. Not quite as a flashy to look at but a damn site better quality.
 
i got one as a minor upgrade to my PC. first case i have bought, and i have to say it is very nice. better than all the generic crap i have had over the years. very spacious and got 2x 120mm quiet fans.
