Summary: Despite the unfortunate initial state of our Core 3000, its cooling prowess and ability to house high-end components in a modestly sized space have left a positive
Summary: Little inclusions, like the black/white color scheme and removable dust filters tell us that Fractal focuses on the details, and we appreciate it.
Pros: Not bad looking; very affordable; many cooling options; removable dust filters.
Cons: Cramped; only two optical drive bays; a little small for a mid-tower.
Summary: At first I was worried about the fact that the much cheaper price tag also meant sacrificing a lot of the features we have come to love from Fractal Design cases.

Cons: No USB 3.0, Tight space between mainboard tray and side panel, Fans not the quietest, Plastic front, pictures may be misleading, US pricing more expensive than the EU one

Pros: Sleek, understated aesthetics, Can accommodate up to seven fans, Plenty of features at an affordable price, Bundled "Silent Series" fans almost live up to their name
Cons: Limited cable-routing possibilities, Crude fan controller, No USB 3.0 support
