This is a stylish case and good value overall. The back of the pci cards is all a bit thin metal and so indeed is the case, the cut outs are not in a very good position compared to motherboard for cable management but there are plenty of cut outs. The hard drive enclosure is also too close to the front so fitting three front fans is difficult . Be careful screwing anything in to the case- graphics cars and motherboard standoffs will bust. Now that mine is built though is does look good for 1/2 the price of other cases I was looking at.
