After the installation and using the case, its both strongpoints and weaknesses are pretty clear. Most of the problems are aesthetical and depend on personal opinions. But let's first go through the good things: the case contains loads of features for media use. There's a VFD, a remote and a card reader. The installation was easy because of the tool less features and good internal design of the case. Enought space for all the wires and so on. Also the software was relatively nice to use though there were times when it felt a bit confusing.

Then the bad ones: actually I can't come up with any real flaws in the case. The only problems I found is the fan controller, which hopefully is just bad luck, and the front panel which just doesn't fit to everybodys taste. Maybe they could have also used an USB-hub for the front panel so it wouldn't take so many ports from the motherboard.
