Sunbeam stuck with the basics as far as the Quarterback was concerned.  The layout of the case is very traditional, but with all of the expected necessities and some nice bonuses.  The steel construction is very solid, but slightly heavy.  The five external 5.25" bays, two external 3.5", and three internal 3.5" bays provide plenty of room for drives.  The side-mounted HDD rack makes installation a breeze.  All of your standard motherboard layouts are supported, as are standard PSU's.

Where the Quarterback really begins to shine is with the included core-fan system.  The four provided 120mm fans allow plenty of airflow through the case.  If that's not enough, there's room for you to add another front mounted 120mm for intake.  Sunbeam avoids going overboard with bells and whistles in order to keep to the tried and true.  The Quarterback has everything that should be expected in a case plus that little bit of extra.  Overall, I'd say the Quarterback proves to be an excellent value especially considering it has a sticker price of $60.  A well rounded and easy to recommend case.
