LOGISYS Computer CS305BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Enhanced SOHO Computer Case 480W Power Supply

Pros: *Spacious for a MicroATX Build, see other thoughts.
*Easy to work with.
*Lightweight (subjectively also a con for some people).
*330W Power supply enough to power any basic system (Not 480W as advertised, but after *reading previous reviews I already knew this and worked around it).
*Sufficient power cables for a basic system.

Cons: * Lightweight, made of cheap metal, but with cases at this price, you (the buyer) should expect to find such quality at a low price, so don't be surprised. This is more of a pro for me since I built it for my parents, who'd rather not carry 20-something pounds of metal in the first place.

*As mentioned many times before, the SATA power cables are too short in distance to put, say, a DVD player at the top and a 3.5 HDD at the bottom, however it comes with enough 4-pin connectors to support an adapter (which is very inexpensive and always useful to have in the first place, regardless of system build). I thought ahead and happened to have a spare.

*Arrived with no instructions, not that I needed them considering the case is quite self-explanatory. Removing the front of the case, however, takes a lot of time and patience since it's required to replace the front 120mm fan (which is a little noisy, but negligible to the 50-year olds using them). However not everybody buying this case is 50, and so this is where I take off the only egg worth taking off.

Other Thoughts: Long story short: It's affordable and it saves you from buying a power supply. 330W is enough for a great office and media system. This case is great for a MicroATX office or media system if you don't mind the size of the case.

If you have an ATX Form mobo and you want a powerful, or even an above-average performing system, look elsewhere for quality cases from Coolermaster, Corsair, Thermaltake, but this should be a given, not a suggestion.

The specs I used with this case are listed below, and they've worked very well with no power problems or overheating. I even thought about throwing in a GTX 640 in the mix, but decided it wasn't necessary. The Intel 4000 drivers take care of everything.

This case
Intel i3 3220 Processor
ASRock H77M LGA 1155 MicroATX Motherboard
CORSAIR Vengeance (2 x 2GB) 1600mHz
WD Scorpio Blue 5400rpm, 320GB HDD
LiteON DVD Writer
Rosewill RDCR-11003 USB3.0 3.5" Internal Card Reader

You get what you pay for, and you can turn it into something great, if you know exactly what you want.

Pros: Not as deep so it fits better in computer desk.

Cons: Makes too much noise. Flashing fan light is distracting. Power supply cables are too short.

Pros: shipped on a timely basis

Cons: As stated by others, There is no HDD activity led (I really didn't need it), Packaging was not so good as the front of the case is packaged at the top of the box and, of course, UPS dropped it on it's top several times. When opened the face was separated from the case and unfortunately due to time constraints I had to break out my hot glue gun and repair 6 broken mounting pins and straighten the frame some. There is still a small chip at the upper right of the faceplate and it sits just a little crooked. My son needed this new machine quickly so we could not waste time with the RMA process and will make due with the faults. Probably better off anyway as I note this is no longer in stock and may not be re-stocked. Wish I hadn't paid the extra for 3 day shipment!

Other Thoughts: The damage could have been avoided if they had used thicker foam corner packing inserts and placed a sheet of foam across the face

Pros: There are no pros for this piece of tin foil

Cons: What can I say? Flimsy, ultra cheap, the power supply popped like a canon after only 5 minutes use. I can't believe Logisys would lend their name to utter garbage like this. Not worth shipping cost to return. This junk will look better in the landfill. Oh well, only 35.00 shot to hell. I couldn't have learned this lesson this cheap in School.

Pros: Cheap, easy to work inside

Cons: Terribly flimsy, arrived damaged with no indications of mistreatment on the box (meaning this damage was done at the factory), shoddy manufacturer customer service.

Other Thoughts: I received this unit with a defective front panel: the power button would stick, causing the computer to turn itself off. Contacting Logisys directly resulted in little assistance. They sent a replacement panel (by UPS Ground from California, which takes four days to arrive to Kansas) only after ignoring my attempts at contact for nearly two weeks. The problem was that the replacement they sent was in even worse condition. Two of the six posts which hold the panel to the chassis of the case were broken off. As they were not inside the shipping box, they obviously were broken prior to shipment. Logisys was informed of this and stated that they would ship out another replacement by Priority Mail for delivery on Saturday 3/30/13 but it is now Friday 4/5/13 and the package has not arrived. According to the Post Office, the package was never turned over to them by Logisys.

Avoid this company! Their product quality is atrocious nowadays and their customer service is even worse. It's a shame because I have been dealing Logisys products for nearly seven years and I must say that their quality has severely gone downhill within the past year. Time to deal with someone better.

Pros: Large, open space. No sharp edges, clean design.

Cons: Supplied fan is a little noisy, case sides somewhat difficult to remove (tight tolerances)

Pros: 1) It's affordable.

2) It comes with a 330 watt power supply.

3) It does't have those annoying metal 5.25' bay covers that you usually have to break off on cheap cases to install the disk drive.

4) It has thumb screws.

5) The front and side fan mounts can take 80mm, 92mm and 120mm fans, the rear fan can handle 80 or 92 mm fans.

Cons: 1) it only comes with enough risers to fit a micro-ATX mobo yet it has ample room for a full size ATX mobo.

2) as others have stated, it only comes with 2 SATA connectors so if you want to get by without using an adapter you must mount your disk drive in the bottom bay or mount your HDD in the floppy bay.

3) This case does not come with a HDD LED. It does have 2 power LEDs that are connected together behind the front cover, if you need a HDD LED that badly and have a little soldering skill then you could fabricate something up.

4) The front side USB and audio jack wires are ran through the front of the case in an inconvenient way. There are a lot of different holes behind the front panel that you can run them through for various applications.

5) The PCI slot covers and IO shield cover are no fun to remove like in most cheap cases. You will probably bend the case removing them. The pro to this is if you are running a micro-ATX mobo like me than there is plenty of room on the bottom of the case to run a 120 or 140mm fan under the graphics card.

The aren't really cons but things people hould know when buying this.

Other Thoughts: I needed a cheap setup for a client as a facebook and e-mail machine. I threw an A4 trinity dual core APU, MSI mobo, 4 gigs of G-skill Sniper DDr3-2133, Some fans, a 250 gig HDD, and a dvd burner. The power supply can handle this with no problem. This combo is great for what I needed. It is not for a gaming rig though. If that's what you want than pick out your own power supply. If you want custom go custom, stay away from combos.

Pros: Cheap, Sturdy, Looks pretty cool

Cons: For the price it is a pretty good case, seems sturdy enough and looks pretty nice on the outside. However it is pretty unfinished on the inside in terms of sharp metal edges and sometimes difficult to screw into riser holes. Nothing terrible though, and again, for the price it's really not bad.
The description though does not list the connectors that the PSU has, so I'll list them here, as I am sure others have done, it'll be easier for people to see if we all do though.

1x Main Connector (20 +4 pin)
1x ATX 4 pin CPU connector
2x Sata Connectors
3x Molex (4 pin) connectors
1x Floppy connector

So if you need an 8 pin cpu connector (like i did) either look elsewhere or buy the case, give the PSU away and go buy one separately

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to work inside, lightweight, looks OK for a "cheap" case, comes with a power supply, uses thumbscrews to open/close case.

Cons: Seems a bit flimsy, low wattage PSU

Other Thoughts: Used this for a business machine with a dual core 3 GHz. processor, on-board video and 2GB of RAM running XP.

After 4 years, the PSU fan bearing is just now starting to make some noise, but I attribute that to it being in a dusty environment and the customer not keeping the dust blown out regularly (I cleaned it just the other day after getting a call that it was making noise, intake and exhaust grills were covered in dust).

Pros: Nice Case. Looks good in the room. I like the blue light.

Cons: 330W power supply . I didn't realize this until I installed a video card requiring a 400W power supply. This is a huge issue for me, and I would have not bought this case knowing the power supply was only 330W. I'm very disappointed with my purchase.

Also, I'm having the issue where the power button gets stuck in a depressed state. I have to wiggle it to get it out sometimes.

Other Thoughts: Buyer beware. The false advertisement of a 480W power supply makes me feel as if I have wasted my money.
