APEVIA X-DREAMER3-RD Black / Red Metal ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great case, front panel snaps off easy and air flow is great.

Cons: The fans are more pink than red when turned of (no LEDs on). Not a big deal since the pictures kinda show it being lighter red. They just dont do it justice so it lost an egg. Buying more RED fans now.

Pros: Looks great; the LED's and LCD temp screen are very nice, and the side viewing panel looks great. Also the LED's are the appropriate brightness and won't blind you, nor will you strain to see them. The price is inexpensive.

Cons: It's a bit smaller than I expected. I bought this to replace a much larger tower which I was having difficulties making space for and when I installed the guts it was a bit difficult. I have a GeForce GTX 560 ti card which barely clears the hard drives in this tower. Also, if you are building a new system I recommend either using a modular power supply or only using one optical drive. Otherwise you will have a large issue with cable management, honestly using a modular power supply would be the best idea. The case fans don't move much air either. The one on the side I had to remove entirely to clear my massive CPU heatsink. I didn't have to do that with my last tower.

Other Thoughts: The case is well built and is very good looking, but if you need space consider a different tower.

Pros: Large side-panel window.

Cons: Small, cramped, difficult to work on, only fair air-flow.

Other Thoughts: Pretty much had nothing but trouble with this case. Top mounted psu, so no top ventilation. Air-flow is fair at best. This box gets hot, sometimes very quickly, and the heat has fried a cpu cooler and an SSD. Side-panel window barely leaves room for cpu cooler. Overall it is just too small for any kind of serious upgrades.

Pros: Seems like a decent case with the basic stuff you'd expect.

Cons: They worked a number of the photography for this case. This is without question pink, not red. Very different than pictured, extremely disappointed.

Pros: Stylish case; solid materia;, excellent air circulation w/ 3 quiet 120mm fans; transparent side looks great with red LEDs; good selection of front mounted ports/temp LCD; plenty of drive bays; fits full ATX mobo easily, plenty of room to maneuver parts for a mid-tower; includes thermal sensor for LCD

Cons: Drive bay tolerances are VERY tight, scratched my hard drive slightly; placement of side case fan doesn't leave room for a standard vertical 120mm CPU cooler; case fans are all molex only connectors and thusly single-speed.

Other Thoughts: This is a great case for the money, other reviewers have been disappointed only the side case fan is a red LED although it is noted in the specs, easily replace the other 2 with a cheap red fan and you get a very angry case. Front buttons are slightly more in the pink-spectrum than red, but not enough to notice really. Could not fit a vertical CPU cooler, had to get a flat mounted fan/heat-sink as the side case fan mounts directly over the CPU socket.

Pros: Not a bad case really. It offers an adequate amount of room for all your devices. By far the biggest pro of this case is just how tasteful it is. Pretty and cool looking without being overly flashy.

Cons: Unfortunately, airflow sucks pretty hard. The side fan only has tiny slits to pull from, the front intake has no real vents to pull through. The back fan is relatively unobstructed, but if you have an LC your radiator will probably block that too. The airflow isn't so bad as that I'll recommend getting this case, unless of course you're building a very high-end rig. Those with a mid-range setup should be fine, though you'll definitely want to have those cables organized and you'll want to dust your case basically every week to keep airflow moving as well as possible.

Another small issue is that there isn't much space for cable management. With my Corsair I had to resort to using the space reserved for optical drives. It's not pretty but it doesn't obstruct airflow that much. It's just something to keep in mind.

Pros: Price, perfect for a woman's or teenage girls office/school computer, since some of the red is actually pink. I know a few girls who would probably love this case.

Cons: Air Flow

I can tell right off by looking at the pictures of this case that the air flow in this case is going to suck, unfortunately not literally. Notice the thin slits in the side window for that large 120mm fan.... how did they expect any air to get through those tiny tiny far apart slits? I promise you, not much will. Also notice the small holes on the rear ran dock, which will also block air flow. I also don't see any decent vents on the front.

BE WARNED, do not build a high performance high powered system in this case or it WILL overheat. I've worked on, built, repaired, and customized enough cases to recognize faults like this. Customer be warned.

Other Thoughts: Newegg needs to update its pictures since this case is obviously misrepresented and this problem has already caused some unhappy customers.

Pros: I was a little scared to order this part do to some of the bad review I saw. but this was the best case money could buy for this price. the case it self is a very sturdy structure and very roomy in side. the temp gauge on the out side is a nice feature as well. Over all this was the best computer case I have owned in the last 5 years. It is a def must have.

Cons: It wasn't free.

Other Thoughts: I bought it on a Monday and was there on Tuesday.. Great speed on the shipping.

Pros: Fits all my gear comfortably and inside seems to run cool enough so far. For a cheaper case the it looks good on the outside, and the LED fan on the clear side panel gives your machine that extra flare.

Cons: The thermometer is usually about 5-10 degrees off depending on where you use it. When used on the CPU it is obviously not going to be accurate because the actual reading device is placed on the heatsink.

The lack of space to hide cables would also be a con in my honest opinion.

Other Thoughts: Overall for the person on a budget who has to sacrifice some luxuries for performance, but still wants a stylish case this is the way to go.

Pros: cheap. comes with plenty of hardware.(extra even) looks cool. thermal display is a great tool for monitoring system temp whilst under pressure. fans are quiet. pleny of room inside.

Cons: fans all point inward so check on that when you get it. only one fan lights up. bright blue led flashes while in hibernate. high gloss finish on front panel shows fingerprints. won't fetch me beers whilst I write reviews.

Other Thoughts: Cost effective. I recommend it.
