This is the perfect case for a minimalist computer. Nothing extra or fancy, perfect for a light gamer and web surfer. People who need more cooling will have to go elsewhere though, as this case has very limited fans.

Pros:
The exceedingly low price. While nice and more feature rich (read: tool-less) towers exists, they often go for double, triple and quadruple the price.
Lots of expansion slots
Side window is nice touch
HD audio support
120 mm fan slots (front, side) rather than 92 or 80 mm fan slots (larger fans move more air with fewer rotations, resulting in lower energy costs and less heat generated)
Comes with one 120 mm fan which blows around 44 CFM
Nice looking color scheme
Cons:
Not tool-less
No features for wire management
No front firewire (minor for vast majority of people)
PCI covers are attached by single use metal connector
Other:
Steel pressure pads for hard drives
Power supply slot is located on top rather than bottom
Only three fan slots, no ceiling fan slot
Due to position of hard drive slots get right angle SATA cables rather than flat SATA cables but this common in many cases today
Ending Thoughts:
Overall, I’m exceedingly pleased with this case.
