They are good stuff. I have the 610 (i think) and have been really happy.
The only things i wasn't keen on -

* No detachable drive bay, so it's a bit tricky to get the drives in
(since you have to do it after the mb is in)
* Cable wiring for the front panel wasn't optimal, i think i managed to
run most of them out of the way and in a couple spots under the mb
* It is nearly impossible to get a silent 60mm case fan; i ended up
disconnecting the internal fan and removing it (leaving the grill). I have
not had temp problems (athlon 1800+, zalman 5100-cu, and a low noise PSU)

I bought a pioneer slot loading dvd drive for it, and have been super
happy overall, but getting it set up had some gotchas.
