APEVIA X-PLORER2 Series X-PLORER2-PK Black / Pink Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: It is pink, and I am a chick, so I was totally down with buying a pink case.
It is a pretty good size, for a mid size case.
I really liked that the temp display was on the front and very visible.

Cons: Well, for starters the plastic is really cheap. I don't more my computer much and it still has dings in it.
The 200mm fan on the side is absolute garbage. It stopped working within a few months of having it and never pushed much air through to begin with. Also the plastic pieces that hold the fan to the door broke off when I unscrewed it.
No cable management to speak of. Your cables are just shoved together in there.
The bays for the harddrives and such are a pain in the rear to change out.
All in all, I just was not happy with the case. I have given it over a year and I am ready to move on to something much better, more accessible and that has better air flow and cable management.

Other Thoughts: I most likely will not buy another Apevia product. I am not really happy with what I have and I know I can get better for my money.

Pros: good air flow even with stock fans, solid hinge on front, ...it's pink

Cons: why give it a thermostat wire that isn't long enough to reach the CPU??? Clean cable routing is a bit of a hassle since there is no room behind the MB tray. A pink case with a red LED side fan should have red LEDs for the 'Apevia' name and thermostat backlight.

Other Thoughts: Yeah, i SO bought a pink case for my wife's computer. The thermostat wire didn't have enough length to make it al the way to the cpu/cpu cooler. The secondary drive bay insert would have to be removed to make room for a long video card (MSI 660ti just barely fits with power connected)
1 star off for the thermostat wire, the rest is cosmetic.

Pros: The Black interior and the black screws are a nice touch. All around the case looks good.

Only pink case you can buy without making your own. Very hard to find for some reason.

Cons: Temperature wire isn't long enough to reach the CPU heat sink even though the book says that's an option. I just stuck it to the hard drive.

NOT ENOUGH SCREWS. If i didn't have a bunch lying around from previous builds I would be up a river without a paddle.

If dust is your enemy like mine, be cautious because on the top of the case there is a large area for dust to just fall in.

Ill never know why computer case manufactures fail to realize dust is a big problem for any desktop PC.

Pros: - Its pink (if you're into that sort of thing)
- Bottom mount psu
- inexpensive
- Internal thermometer front panel gauge is pretty neat

Cons: - Non-existent cable management
- poor airflow

Other Thoughts: Bought this for the girlfriend's build. HAD to be pink. No place to run cables. There's quite a bit of cable clutter in the bottom of the case.

Pros: Case looks fantastic, and the removable drive bays are a wonderful feature. Great color, and I love the epic red fan on the side. The snap on rails for the HDD were a piece of cake, and make swapping drives a breeze.

Cons: As others have mentioned before, the lead for the temperature sensor is stupidly short. Came nowhere near my CPU.

Other Thoughts: Still a fantastic case, short lead aside, and I would certainly buy it again. Loving the bit of flair on game nights!

Pros: The case itself is pretty sturdy and has a decent amount of space. Good airflow, the massive fan on the side alone does a fantastic job.

Cons: The cable for the temperature probe is too short, it wont even reach the CPU's heat sink. The LCD temperature display came with one of its lines not working, kinda looks odd not displaying a number correctly. The fan in the front also shipped to me broken, and the cables on the rear fan come unplugged from their plastic housing.

Other Thoughts: Everything that's built of metal on it is decent, but the plastic accessories and cables are poor quality. The fan on the side panel is keeping it cool for now so hopefully that does not break easily.

Pros: Case was very good quality. Solidly built, and the front panel was easy to remove and install optical and magnetic readers. The color is a "salmon" and was a great look for my daughter. The included case fans were nice and quiet, overall was very impressed.

Cons: The temperature probe came nowhere close to the cpu, and I'm pretty sure it was fully extended. It was, of course, the last element to go in, and so I was pretty packed with wires, but a pull on the cable made me pretty sure it was extended. Unsure why the probe would not reach CPU as their placement is fairly standard, but it wasn't that big of deal to me, I just used it as a hard drive monitor.

Other Thoughts: I built this machine for my daughter. I paired it with a GA-880 Gigabyte board, AMD 3+ 450 Rana 3.2Ghz, and Blue Ray drive. I also got replacement fans in case the "red" light ont he case was a bit too red, but after replacing a few of the interior fans with some blue LED's, we got a decent purple color in the middle. Great little package, and she loves it!

Pros: Good looking case for an affordable price.

Cons: A bit tight for wiring and there's no space behind the motherboard for cabling.

Other Thoughts: I bought this case as part of a budget build for my wife. Aesthetically its great and I couldn't be happier with its appearance. Wiring was a bit of a task but it usually seems to be in smaller towers. The major issue I had was failing to check the width of the case against the height of my CPU cooler. I ended up having to remove the large side fan and mount it on the outside of the case. Not a huge deal but it does pose a small safety concern and probably reduces the efficiency of its cooling ability. But that was my own failure so I cant fault the case itself. The front ports (USB, eSata, audio) are handy, but I wouldn't put much stock in the temp gauge aside from a little "wow" factor.

Bottom line, good case for your dollar.

Pros: temp monitor works its onley about 1 degre dif from motherboards. clean front panel. room to grow mine is fitted with a 890fxa-gd70 mobo. also hard drive cage can be removed for better air flow.. i have fitted mine with vraptor and a west digi 600g also mounted a hard drive cooler between the 2 hard drives. still have room for 3 more drives.
for the price u cant go wrong.

Cons: if ur running water cooler things might get a bit tight. also not too much room for larger cpu coolers so keep that in mind. cable management is a bit tricky and u cant run cables behind mobo so be creative.

Other Thoughts: wish the case was about 2 inches higher and can accommodate for a radiator for water cooling. wider case for proper cable management. this case has so much potential that they neew to come out with an updated one.

Pros: Nice case and allows for high airflow. The removable tray opens up the inside also. I have put 2 more fans in the case with the 3 already in it and im scared to turn them all up to 100% because it might fly off.

Cons: Not the cases fault but cutouts to run the power supply wires would make the inside look good. Also I built this for my wife so she HAD to have the pink one...
