Fractal Design Core 2500, Black, Mid Tower Computer Chassis, 2x 120mm Fans, USB 3.0, ATX/Mini ITX/Micro-ATX is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 5.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Plain case with room Plenty of room and accessible 2.5 and 3.5" drive bays. Didn't fit optical drive so didn't need to remove front. Felt a little flimsy but perfectly adequate. Plenty of ventilation grilles, two quiet (3 pin) case fans. Only slight problem was front panel connector cable a little short for my motherboard connection. Cable route behind mobo panel a bit tight if you want cables hidden.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Value A good value case, looks nice and has plenty of space inside. Comes with plenty of screws for all sorts of drives and expansion cards. The fan isn't too noisy either.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great PC case I have bought more than 5 of these cases. They come with a set of screws for all of the standard components that you will be installing. There are four 3.5" drive drawers. There is sufficient space for full length expansion cards. They have USB 3 connectors on the front panel. The PSU is located at the bottom of the case so make sure the cables are long enough to reach the components. The case comes with 2 fans and has fittings for dual coolers in the top of the case. This is the only thing that bothers me as I don't use the top vents for coolers, so I end up fitting filters to stop debris falling into the case. Overall a great case and it looks good too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No thrills, but clean looking and does its job well You get the right practical items in this case. You have excellent space for a giant graphics card. You have good space for a decent sized cooler. You get some behind the backing plate space for an ssd and some cable management. Some thicker PSU cables can be an issue to fit comfortably behind the backing plate but you can always choose not to route them behind the plate because the PSU isn't entirely compartmentalised. The fan options are pretty good. Ideally there would be slightly more 5.25in bays, or they would be set slightly lower. I do only use two, but I would prefer to leave a top bay empty. An optical drive in the top bay will block one of the top fans. The drive cages are easily removed and you have trays for the ssds etc. Practical for your choice of storage, cooling, or aesthetics. Looks good, thickness of the case is adequate and your cooling options are most likely covered to your satisfaction.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good case with lots of space This case is pretty good: not too bulky but lots of space for the components, good airflow. One thing I'd say is: you need good length for the CPU cable. The PSU is located at the bottom and I had to get an extension cable for my setup.
