Assemble your own custom computer in this NZXT SOURCE CA-SO530-M1 full-tower case, which features 3 external 5.25" and 6 internal 3.5"/2.5" drive bays for flexible component installation, plus 2 included and 7 optional fans for optimal system cooling.

Level of Expertise:Average
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Gaming
Verified Purchase:Yes
This case has it all:
6HDD bays
3-5.25 bays
An SSD mount
Locations for 8 exterior case fans and one interior to redirect flow at particular components and an exterior look that is clean and simple
Let me explain the benefit of the airflow capabilities in this case: I built a computer with an i7 4770k, msi gaming motherboard, msi GeForce GTX 770 tf 2gb/oc, and 8gb of A-Data ram. Without having any case fans besides the two exhaust fans included, my GPU had a peak temp of around 85 degrees C. Just yesterday I added 4 case fans to intake cold air on the bottom and front and that peak temp dropped to around 65 degrees C. This case is so big that I still have room to add a 240mm radiator for water cooling my cpu so that I can achieve a cool overclock on my processor. There isn't a complaint I have with this case

What's great about it: great potential for airflow, large space for all yor hardware and cable management, great clean look
What's not so great: I wish the window on the side was bigger so I could see my parts better
I would recommend this to a friend!
