I guess I will put my 2 cents in on a cheap case. I have a Raidmax Smilidon. It was 60 bucks on sale on the newegg. It also had a 20 rebate. Filled it out received check in the mail in three weeks. From others experiences I am very lucky. It has MB tray fold down… not a necessity but good god it makes life easy! On the other side it has a clear plastic open view side with a sidearm for a fan on the graphics. 5 case fans came in the case an all five work and front panel and two case fan light up. It has a spot for an additional fan for the hard drives if needed. Has a hideaway tray for screws and cover plates. Screw less hard drive and cd drive bays. I can certainly see how the mail/ups could have crushed this thing but packaging was fine when I got mine and the case looks great. No scratches dents or anything. My mother board fit but it seemed a little tight but it fits none the same. Graphic cards not sure about the big ones fitting but I am assuming you would have to mod for them anyway. All and all it is a cheap attractive case with some bells and whistles. On a five star scale I would give it 4. (Minus one star for the ugly smilidon down the front door, but that can be fixed with black spray paint  )
