Sd reader connects via usb 2.0 bus not a good choice in todays age of uhs class cards. Much rather have no sd reader than one that uses usb 2.0 interface.

It's a nice case I like it. But their marketing is...not to my taste.

"The Aerocool P7-C1 is quite the large and menacing chassis" I find this funny since this is a Mid Tower and not a full tower, Try the Aerocool Xpredator Red Gold (Iron Man) or Evil Blue Edition.

No 5.25 Bays, ugh. Need at least 2

I'm tired of plastic covered cases. Had an Antec 1100 for years and bought a black In Win 303 last week because it's all metal. This case looks like it has just as much if not more plastic than metal.

That's an ugly case!
Is that supposed to be a joke?

It's one of the most interesting PC cases on the market considering a vast amount of ugly cases which look like a cardboard box.

Hundred people, hundred different tastes. :)
I think they made a very good job with this case. It's has unique and futuristic design without that cheap cartoon-looking style like Antec GX505, Sharkoon DG-7000 or ultra boring designs like Coolermaster HAF 912, Chieftec BM-02B, Corsair Carbide 200R...
There is even nicer version without the full glass side panel: http://static.nix.ru/autocatalog/cases_aerocool/283827_2254_draft.jpg
