Those Centurion 5 cases are pretty nice, good airflow, solid, and good price. Only thing I don't like is the screwless mounting (I prefer screws) but that is just my personal preference and bone to pick :p:

Someone did a really nice case mod on this case. You can see on the July issue of CPU magazine. That is an awesome price for that case.

BTW, I like the cheetah sheets:cool:

EDIT: It was the August issue

That's a nice looking case and a sweet deal. I might have to head over to that forsaken store.

I like your new case. :)

Do are you using the stock 120mm and 80mm fans that come with the case? If you are using them how do you like their performance? Is it worth to replace them?

Off-topic, but where is this CompUSA to be closed down?

That is a nice case, though.

OMG! WoW! That looks for $100+, not $25;) Still would have been cool to have a model with a window for $35 :D

I have the same case and after much browsing havent found anything better at that price point. I absolutely love it I think you will too ;)

I did the same mod to get the 120mm below the top 2 5.25" bays. The tear away steel bay covers are perforated, and two of the holes line up to put fan screws in, then I used zip ties to secure the other two corners.

I love this case!
