Packing 4 drive bays, 4 low-profile expansion slots, an 80mm rear fan and front I/O ports into a slender steel case, HEC's 6T Series 6T10BB gives you a powerful platform for building a solid MicroATX system.
Drive installation is easy, since both of the 5.25 and 3.5" driver bays feature one-side-screwed design so you just open the one side panel. The panel is easily removable for quickly access. It's so easy to build a Micro system with the HEC 6T Series 6T10BB case.
Pros: Very small, even for a M-atx case Takes a standard ATX power supply Seems fairly rigid More attractive in person E-SATA on front panel Light weight for a steel case
Cons: Annoyingly bright blue power LED 80mm fan in 90MM slot No buzzer or reset, but I don't miss them No front intake fan slot
Other Thoughts: Some may complain about the need to use screws to install things, but I personally prefer them. Honestly, I'm not swapping components in and out of a machine this small. I have big ugly server cases for those sorts of machines. I bought this case to be my always-on machine to live on my desk next to my also shiny monitor. I find that I have trouble installing card readers or getting drives to line up properly with most forms of screwless drive bay arrangements. I can operate a screwdriver.
Additionally: I had no trouble installing a hard drive in the vertical bay provided. Be it not for the card reader I used, it would be no trouble to install up to four standard hard drives in this case. Does anyone even own a floppy drive anymore?

Does exactly what it was made to do

Pros: Very impressive for such a cheap case! When reading negative reviews remember this IS a MICRO ATX case! This isn't designed to house your 6 Disc RAID 0+1 configuration or your Quad GPUs. Its designed or a MicroATX MoBo and some basic components and a hard drive or two.
Love the eSATA on the front. Nice Glossy finish. The hard drive rests vertically so there would be a perfect spot on the front of the case for a 120mm fan to be very efficient but due to the LEDs and power button wires it is impossible without doing some modding.
Case seems pretty durable and I received it in great shape.
Cons: A 120mm fan in the front of the case would be nice but not a big deal.
Other Thoughts: I might get a 5.25" bay fan just to increase the air flow a bit. I will just have to see.

Pros: Sturdy, attractive, well built case. It was a steal at $15 off and free shipping. A real no-brainer.
Cons: Lacks some nicities like a swing out door and the 90 degree quick remove HD mount found in other HEC cases. The cable from Power LED ends in a 3-pin connector so be sure your MB can accomodate that. The case does not include a separate reset button - though I don't consider that to be really needed.
Other Thoughts: Like with other microATX cases, space is at a premium and placement of components and cables requires some thought and a certain order of assembly. For example, place the HD in one 3.5" bay and you won't be able to easily replace it because it will hit the CPU fan, place it in another and it will just clear it. I suggest mating this case with a power supply that includes advanced cable management to minimize the number of bulky cables.

One of the best cheap cases I've used
Reviewed By: Disector on 3/16/2010

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Owning a computer business, I have tried many different cases. For the price I paid ($30 shipped) I find this to be a very good case. I hate the smaller form factor cases in general, but customers balk away from the huge cases of years past. For a modest build this is a good case, good enough I ordered a total of 10 of them.
Front panel is classy looking, yet show *everything* (Dust, fingerprints, ect). It comes off very easily and does not have wires attached to it, a plus in my book
I love blue LED's, so that is a plus for me. I think I read one of the reviews grumbling about not being able to mount a front panel fan and also one that claimed there were not vent holes in the front. Yes there are vent holes at the bottom and with both the PS and a rear fan installed I see no need for a front fan in a normal build.
I was very happy with the easy of mounting the rear panel MB filler. It snapped in very easily. Many cases make you bend the crud out of the rear panel to get them
Cons: The drive bay holes seem to be manufactured at very exacting tolerances, much tighter than I am used to with other cases. The optical drives I use fit very snuggly, but trying several brands of memory card readers resulted in having to whittle down the side of the readers front face plates to get them to fit properly.
I am not a fan of the way the HD is mounted. Granted it is easy to get in and out, but for whatever reason I always feel better with a horizontally mounted drive.
Not much expandability, but hey, it is aimed more at a generic build and forget market (Ma and Pa).
Other Thoughts: You need a long neck screwdriver to reach some of the screws

About as good a budget case as you'll find

Pros: Comes with fan. Comes with side-panel air duct. Nice looking. Front USB, audio and eSATA.
Cons: Flimsy side panel makes case a bit noisy.
Other Thoughts: When NewEgg puts this case up at a budget price of $25 shipped, it's a no-brainer. I built a system for my SO with an Intel mATX board, and it's perfect for her. I also found the HDD mounting design really innovative for such an inexpensive case. The flimsy side-panel is why I dinged it one egg. Being thin, its prone to vibration from the case fans, raising the noise level. If you line the side panel with PaxMate, it should cut down on the vibration and noise. But for $25, I can't expect too much.
