The Aerocool Spiral Galaxies is a quality made Case; there was never any doubt about that. The "screw-less" design makes installation a breeze. The issues we ran into were related to the non standard Form Factor that everyone is trying to copy while using ATX hardware. Once we got the Spiral Galaxies Case up and running, temperatures were average - not really any better than a standard ATX Case, we'd attribute this to the fact that the plastic shroud was not installed due to layout issues we saw during the Closer Look section of the review. If you are looking for a Case using the sudo BTX Form Factor there are a few things to look out for - non standard Motherboard layout ie: MSI Neo2 Platinum is one board that will not work because of the layout. Also, make sure you're Power Supply has long ATX Power and 4-pin Power cables especially if those connections are on the far side of the Motherboard (when mounted). Cable lengths may be a problem depending on the hardware used in the Case. The Case overall is a very nice looking Case; installation was simple with the "screw-less" design. Everything from the Hard Drives to the CD-Rom drives to the PCI and AGP devices can all be mounted without picking up a screwdriver. Aerocool delivered a quality product, its flaws while not entirely Aerocools' fault can be attributed to the sudo BTX standard implementation.
