Is this case well put together, in the sense that (say) Coolermasters ATC series was essentially like one large block of aluminum?

Plenty of room for any expansion or board you would like to use. It has extra fan stations if required.

Not so much as a block of aluminum, but it is build extremely well. The front plate is plastic but the rest, especially the frame is well built and the tower itself is heavy. (between 30 to 40 Lbs with a full build) The right side is recessed for hiding wiring harnesses and more than enough room for any component. I have 5 CD/DVD drives and you could still park your car in there. So yes to your original question as to its standard Cooler Master towers. This is my 3rd one and have never seen this type of quality in any other tower. With the 3x230mm cooling/exhaust fans plus 1 x 120mm, cooling has never been an issue. Hope this helps.

I have found it heavy and durable with one exception - the wheels can be a little fragile. I have a 2 inch drop from where my case rests to the floor and on one occasion the case got accidentally pushed over the lip and caused the wheels which are plastic to bend and crack

i cant look at it right now, but compare the dimensions. this case is small as fuark so i would be shy of putting any aftermarket in, but even then. you could always cut out a little area to make your cooler fit with a little coming out of the side.

Heck ya bro. My bro bough this case a long while ago and the usbs are freaking awesome, the only thing that him and I would recommend is to replace the fans, but that is the only thing I had a slight issue with but, 10/10 this case is a great case if it fits your needs!

The case can have up to 7 fan's. And as far as the cooler master V8 GTS should fit in there. I have the cooler master Hyper 212 plus. And it fit's fine. Hope that this will help.

no fan is included whatsoever... and the fan that may fit is one of those not so available 50mm (10-15 mm thick). Those may become quite noisy! Considering this case has many vent holes you may want to skip that fan adventure and just settle for a good low profile (43mm high or less) CPU cooler, as most Intel stock coolers a re a few mm too tall for this case and AMD stock coolers are way too tall. another advise: I have not succeeded to run any AMD CPU in this case cool enough... all AMD CPUs (AM2.AM3,FM1, FM2) dissipate much heat, thus requiring a CPU cooler that is too large to fit in this case... and I did try quite a few. I have assembled five computers in an AM350 case, all with socket 755, 1155 and 1150. They all work fine without an added video card (as there is no space for such in this case)

large case,however you need to check the exact size in the description. i am running 2 evga 980s with no problem. you can modify the case slightly (remove one internal bay) which helps.

This case has a lot of room. So if you want to build a lot on to your computer then this Is fine. If you aren't going to add a lot on then go with a mid-tower. When you build it, every thing will be a tight fit and lots of cords will be just hanging in awkward spots but the price diffrents between a decent full and mid is big

It will. I recently built my friends new computer with this case and it even has room for a decent sized cpu cooler and it allows for plenty of wiring management.

Plenty of room in the main compartment...there was a bit of finagling to fit some cables behind the motherboard, but it's merely a twist and turn and making sure the cables are zip tied to the anchor points in the chassis. I absolutely love this case for being on the smaller side. I use this case for gaming and it had room for all the extra fans I installed plus the massive cooler!

Absofreakinlutely! That's what I have in my setup. Check my review to see pics of the build with it in there.

Yes, I have built 2 computers with this case and have put a 750 mod and non mod in both. One thing to consider is that since this is a smaller case, it is better to get a modular due to less wires to bundle up in the bottom of the case. I even put in the 200mm fan in front with the non modular PSU.

The case is large and deep enough to support full sized RAM. Its also one of the best built cases in the HTPC category.

Yes this is one of the largest cases I have owned, only thing that beats it for space is the cooler master cosmos ii. It fit an EVGA 980 and one of the massive Phantek cpu heat sinks in it just fine.

There are hundreds of peripherals that you can install in these bays. Anything from a SSD bracket to Fan Controllers to Card Readers. Get this case, you will not regret it. I suggest you invest in some black Velcro straps or zip ties and a fan controller as there are a lot of fans.

No this is just the casing you have buy and build everything. It is a cute computer case though!!!

I would be very surprised if it wasn't. I have the massive Cooler master one and there is way more than enough room for it.

Yes, you should be fine. There is a lot of room to work with, all around fantastic case.
