APEVIA X-Gear ATXB5KLW-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 420W Power Supply

Pros: You know for how cheap it was, it was pretty nice. Kept cool (With panel open, lol)

Cons: I bought this thing back in 2009 its now 2013, but the included cables for all the fans and lights of the case decided to catch fire, so I have since removed all fans (besides cpu) and thankfully was able to pull the power before anything major happened. Have ordered a much better quality case its on its way!

Pros: Cheap, cheap, cheap. I made a super budget build and this case was my choice despite all of the bad reviews. The psu can power my HIS Radeon HD 6750, AMD Athrlon II x4 stock cooler, and stock fans fine.

Cons: One SATA on the PSU just one. Really cheap. Came dented on top by what looks like dimensions that aren't correct on the panels, very small dents. Very bad machining/ fit and finish. I actually cut myself trying to take out one of the drive bays! The plastic piece that covers the usb and audio jacks wont shut, and the audio jacks don't even work. H.D.D. led doesn't light up. Psu wobbles all over the place like it's going to fall apart. Good luck putting a cd drive in the second slot. There is little room. Very flimsy poorly built case. Ugly.

Other Thoughts: Waiting to see if the PSU will hold up. Bad quality but what do you expect for the price? Alien fan grills are dumb knock off looking things. My fault for not noticing it when buying though. Leds are bright, fans work, psu works, more than I expected.

Pros: Cheap price.... (But VERY Cheap Quality too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Cons: Purchased two of these to refresh old computers;
"First impression was to wonder if anything was even in the box":-0
It reminded me of when soft drink cans all of a sudden came in new thin walled aluminum, and felt like a feather compared to the old design.
Ever notice how these new SUPER THIN WALLED cans COME DENTED BEFORE YOU EVEN GET THEM?
You guessed it! Both of these cases were dented somewhat, one very severely on the top, but the shipping cartons showed no real signs of distress from UPS?
That means that these cases were dented from the factory and just boxed up that way:-(
Also, one of the two cases power supply was falling apart in my hand (again, right from the factory), before it had ever been plugged in!
Thank The Lord I didn't need these power supplies for my build because they are also one of the lightest weight ones I ever held (can’t be more than 10 oz's), and wattage on the working one was less than 300!
If you like working with Broken (new)EGG SHELLS buy these

Other Thoughts: Fair Warning Friends...

Looks Good On Paper (or the screen for that matter) but what you see is "NOT" what you get...

If you really like working with fragile and Pre-Broken EGGS, these cases are perfect for you;

But if you (like me) think that the price is too good to be true... "You're Right" :-((

No Positive Eggs From Me Newegg,,, Sorry;

because this time you sent me dripping OMELETS:-(((

Pros: Looks nice, packaged well.

Cons: Front panel lights dont work. Bought this for a customer build so no time to return. Hooked HDD and power button power conectors to mobo but neither worked. Same with lights on front panel. Checked and switched molex connectors to no avail.

Other Thoughts: I know this was a bargain buy but I still think the lights should work.

Pros: Decent case for a cheap build.

Cons: 80mm fan slots are so 1997... Power supply is junk.

Other Thoughts: I bought this case for a cheap i3 build. I was attracted by the price given that the power supply is included making it quick to get up and running. I was planning on replacing the power supply within a few months because I knew it was super cheap. Unfortunately I had to do so after only two weeks of light use. I got up and left the system updating for about 5 minutes and when I came back I smelled something funny and the system was off. I took the power supply out and tried to turn it on manually (ground green wire) and it would not respond. I had to buy a power supply alot sooner than I had planned.

Pros: Different: So many cases all look the same but this one stands out. The design is very creative including the CD covers and such.

Price: Great value with an included PSU.

Customer service: It now comes w/o a floppy slot cover as pictured. I e-mailed and asked for one and it was shipped right away.

Paint: On the box it says automotive paint. Yup! Outstanding finish, very impressive.

Cons: Design: This is an old design. Small fans that don't even plug in to the MB ports for example. Also the side fan isn't positioned over the GPU and is instead over the CPU. This didn't work with the Cooler Master 212 cooler.

PSU: I guess it is basically free but if they could lower the price by $5-$10 and exclude it, I'd bite. This thing had only a single SATA power connector and the others were very tight. Unplugging them was so hard and frustrating when I wanted to move things around.

Other Thoughts: The window looks like a perfect square but isn't so can't be rotated 90 deg, only 180. This puts the fan at the bottom right. It would be great if it could be rotated 90 to place the fan anywhere. There is however a small vent cut in to the window at the bottom left. I drilled a few holes and put the fan there. Not perfect but not bad anyway and made me happy with the case.

Yea, this case has a few flaws but it also has so many nice features that other cases don't that I almost gave it 5 eggs. With a few tweaks to update this design I think this case would do even better.

Pros: I've had this case since 2005 and it is still working great. Some of the LEDs are starting to burn out and a couple of the fans have been replaced. The Rosewill power supply that came with mine worked great for 5 years until I decided to rebuild the computer and replaced it with a more up to date model.

Cons: The fans can be noisy due to the 80mm size. Recommend using with a headset, a good sound system, or with a manual fan control module

Other Thoughts: The case I have is actually a Rosewill R114A and it is identical to this one (literally, the pictures are identical). The only difference is that the two 5.5 inch expansion bays have slightly different covers.

Pros: It's a nice case and everything fit into it just fine.

Cons: The top cd drive compartment is a little on the difficult side to get into. The power supply included only came with one sata power cable which isn't helpful. I had to get a new power supply. And last, the usb ports and headphone jack are at the far bottom.

Other Thoughts: The lights on the front are alright. Not good, not bad. After building my pc with this, the only problem is the usb ports.

Pros: It looks nice, comes with fans, and has a lot of space. There is also a nice side window. Case is somewhat sturdy.

Cons: The power supply is defective. It wouldn't power up the first time so I RMA'd and the second case's power supply blew out after 5 days. So that's 2/2 broken psu

Other Thoughts: I think I'm going to just buy a better power supply. I also hope that my motherboard was not damaged by the fried power supply

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: Everything. The power connector was missing a wire, so I could not power up the case. Either that or the power supply was also dead.

Other Thoughts: Spend the extra money on a better case.
