The Monster II has a different look to it. With the deep grooved front fascia and top section, you can't really confuse it with other cases. That really makes this case stand out. But it is not flashy or over the top either. It just looks good. I do like the top I/O panel with the USB 3.0 ports up where they don't stick out. Front mounts are fine, but I am always a little paranoid that I am going to catch a flash drive as I walk by and snap it off. Not with this case.
