Product Description

Since we first unveiled our first gaming PC chassis, many have followed our line of exceptional gaming products close. After looking more into what users wanted and needed we here at Diablotek started to talk about some of the cool things we were working on, at home including liquid cooling, silent systems, extreme performance rigs, molding, etc. This made us realize why not use our already great performance models and crank up the juice a little and the FLY was born.

Overall, this is an alright case for the price, but don't be upset when you find certain quirks about it. I ran into a few problems putting a new computer together for my living room/HTPC:

- The 3.5" internal hard drive bays (for which there are 3) seem to require a low-profile or right angle SATA cable. Fortunately I had some SATA data cables with a right-angle plug handy, and the power supply I intended to use had low-profile power plugs. Unfortunately, I ended up not using this power supply, because....

- The cut-out for the IO Panel is not perfectly square. Either that, or the IO Panel for my motherboard isn't perfectly square. Either way it was quite a hassle getting the IO Panel in place.
- Saying the case comes with a front-mounted case fan and optional rear fan is an outright lie, but not on Amazon's part...it's also listed in the cases owners manual. It's actually the complete opposite and it comes with a rear fan and you can install an... Read more

This case is all aluminum magnesium, very light weight... and very easily bent and dented. My first one had severe shipping dents and had to be replaced. Overall, the case is well designed and looks great. Cable management is average and it has features usually found only on higher priced cases. Mine cost $40 at the time of purchase and well worth the cost. I've seen it go for as high as $99 on other sites; definitely not worth it at that cost.
It comes with a rear fan but no front fan. If you want to add a front fan, be prepared to do a little bit of extra work. The drive cage will have to be removed first. Those are the only two locations for a fan provided, but are sufficient for stock systems. If you are an overclock-er and need to provide more air circulation, look elsewhere.
