I found them to be rather shoddily constructed. (used them for a couple of PC's at work)

AFAIC, one of the better low-mid range cases in terms of features. Certainly worth an extra $40 over a low end case, but as the good doctor mentioned, they could be put together a little bit better.

That said... if a person is only looking for a decent case, and isn't looking for bling, I'm quite impressed with the Sonatta III I did my last build with. Decent build quality, with a reasonably good 500W PSU for a street price of under $130 is pretty hard to beat. :)

im not sure if we are talking about the same case. this isnt made shoddily at all. vary sturdy. well designed and lots of lil features that i wouldn't think of. lots of space and places to hide wires
i really dont see what u guys see this is a better built case them my thermaltake tsunami dream case, my thermaltake armor, my thermaltake bach, any of them. this is a wayy nicer case then any of them i mentioned.

TT Cases certianly aren't a measure of quality either. But I've had Aopen cases that were better made than Coolermaster and TT.

It is I agree.
The Armor is a great case.
