Sturdy

Reviewed By: Nate on 8/8/2008

Tech Level: average - Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: Sturdy case w/ "easy to assemble" features. Heavy. I love the case, but I need a decent PSU.

Cons: I have two of these case but in both of them the power supplies have burt out.

Other Thoughts: I trashed the power supplies but now I am looking for a replacement power supply/different manufacturer. No luck yet.

Meh..

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Very sturdy, solid construction. Nice looking design. Handy removable drive-bay. Was able to fit a video card (low profile) and a DVD Burner inside easily with no modification. Its fairly quiet and runs very cool with the stock cooling on a Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz.

Cons: Very poor power supply. Do not buy this if you want to use a video card. I was not able to find a more powerful replacement anywhere, yet the 275W supply was not enough to power the computer once a GeForce 8400 GS was added to the Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz.

Other Thoughts: This would be a great home theater case, if you don't mind using onboard video.

Great Case, But Loud Case Fan

Reviewed By: BrainwreckedTech on 5/3/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Solid construction. Great removable cage for the drives. Silent PSU fan.

Cons: Case fan was moderately loud, so I replaced it. The feet included to stabilize the case in "tower mode" expand way too easily.

Other Thoughts: Holes in case above CPU were not designed with case fan attachment in mind. It was a lot of work, but I got it to work. (I have a fanless 7W Via Eden CPU and wanted to ensure ample air flow.)
