Cheaper price than normal, only dropped by a little bit but does look like a far more appealing price, had it sitting in my basket for 2 weeks, went ahead and bought it for my mid-range i5 6600k/GTX 970 rig, probably best to use your own silent fans on these as fans provided with cases tend to be a bit noisy compared to the likes of besilent or silent corsair fans. Very good reviews on Amazon, seems like a cheaper alternative to the Fractal Define series, comes with some great features and the 4 USB slots look very handy indeed.
Will post my thoughts on the case once it arrives.
UPDATE:
So the case has arrived, after ONE day, literally ordered it 16 hours ago, only selected the 'FREE DELIVERY' option as well and I don't have Amazon price, so that was a lovely surprise. First impression was definitely the size, it's wider than your standard PC case, but this leaves for more room on side panel where the wires go, it's very spacious inside, can easily work with a tri-sli setup since there's no HDD cages (they're inside the PSU shroud), that's another thing I love, it comes with a PSU shroud, which helps blockout some of the PSU noise as well. It comes with PLENTY of dust filters, I'm actually surprised as to how many they give with it, and most of them are magnetic, so they just slap on and off. Overall, very impressed with how much I got for my money, if you're going to get one, just be wary of the size and look at the dimensions before you get one, it's about 4cm wider than my old case (Aerocool)

Nice Fractal clone. Game Max are pretty good quality compared to other budget cases too.

Heated. Great price for a soundproofed case and full ATX size too so should be no bother with big graphics cards/coolers etc. Really tempting but spent far too much already this month....

Shame I've had to downsize to mini itx as this case would be a steal

I have one of these....great value for money (I paid a couple of £'s more for mine) in my opinion. Cleary it's not silent as that depends on the components your have in it, and no case can kill 100% of the noise, but it's good quality, solid. I'll be buying another now that the price has dropped!

I figured, no case can truly be silent, but I hope this at least helps, I'll be fitting in bequiet silent wing fans, which are also attached to my cpu liquid cooler, and the GTX 970 Asus Strix fan barely ever comes on, it only comes on in 95%+ usage, so hoping that also helps.
Have you found it to be a decent case overall? Any problems that you can give me a heads up on? How does the sound proofing compare to a normal non sound proofed case?

bought for 10p more back in March:) great case but it's huge. I bought one of the dell power servers prior to this and in comparison this seems twice the size lol, I guess you get dimensions for info but still I was surprised when I saw the box. it's build quality is excellent though , plenty cable management options, ssd caddy, ended up with a nice tidy install. heat!

To a bat maybe but I doubt most humans can hear the electrons in the case spinning due to the noise of the fans. :laughing:
