Review on Thermaltake kandalf case

hey guys this is my first review so bare with me. The first day that I noticed the case I was in amazement. Just the looks of the case had me jumping out of my computer chair so of course I had to order it. About 3 days later my computer parts came a long with the part that I was most waiting for the case. I shortly ripped open the box and looked at the beauty, it was then that I saw what it was really what it was suppose to be. A hour or so after recieving the parts and case I got to work, I cut the ziptie on the rear of the case that was attached with the keys. After I put the key into the whole to unlock the side and when I did I noticed that the top of the key broke and I was like O NO! but then I noticed that it was suppose to do this so thats when things became better. The side of the case is now opened and ready to be inspected, the pros of the case that I like is that its huge, sleek, easy to install components into, many of 5 1/2 drive bays for dvd burners ect, also it has a front hd mount and one located in the top-rear of the case so both combined=6 hd's that can be installed, the case has plenty of fans with long cords, all of the drive bay slots have filters wich make a clean and useful look, the top of the case has a firewire port as well as some usb vrs 2.0 and headphone jack. The cons of the case is that the "toolless" slots are cheaply made and become weak if opened more then like 5 times, also the case gets scrtached easy, the front doors on the case are held with a magnet and to tell u the truth its a crappy design (maybe mines just defective)? it does not hold, the side window has a nasty looking whole in the middle but you can only notice it if you take off the side.

conclusion: the case recieves a 7 out of 10 stars
