i own one and there are few things i hate about the case. 1. plastic front. see point 2. 2. ugly design. very, very ugly. after couple years, the black plastic looks really really bad. 3. power and reset switch. the worst switch ever. i mean how hard is it t 4. noisy top fan. 5. the biggest issue i ...
