ASUS TM-211 White 0.6mm SECC MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case 300W Power Supply

Pros: I live this little case, should have bought a few more. Arrived in once piece, easy to install for a small tower. No problems at all!

Great case if you just want a simple PC without a ton of extra stuff in the case.

Cons: One of the cd-rom doors stuck the first time I opened it, but hasn't been an issue since.

Other Thoughts: I have read a few reviews for this case that complained about it being small and too cramped, etc, etc. Think about it people, this is a COMPACT case, it is made to be small, if it's too cramped for you and you can't fit all of your components into it, DON'T BUY IT, get a larger case to accommodate everything you want to install in it.

Pros: Great looking case.

Cons: 80mm fan is very loud. I replaced it with a 90mm quieter fan.

Pros: Mac-styling, firewire dongle included, 300watt Rated, 350watt Peak.Nice side venting.

Cons: Its only white on the front. Its actually light gray on the steel body. Very cramped and definately MicroATX. In fact, board hits the floor of the case.

Other Thoughts: Overall, its a cheap MicroATX case that's getting lots of hype from the Psyster company. If you're going to buy one for looks, I'd say go for the 210 instead as its black all around.

Pros: -Side vents help keep it cool.

-Very slick design

-Doors for media drives are also an added bonus since they can hide any off color drives that don't match the case.

-4 USB ports on the front, very useful

Cons: The spacing is cramped. I put the stock 80mm in the front of the case as an intake fan which took up the lower couple slots for hard drive placement. I put the hard drive in the next available slot and the rear of the hard drive hung out right over the IDE connector on my MOBO (Abit AN-M2HD).

With the front face attached to the case the intake fan has a very small air intake area. It is actually under the front face of the case making any front intake fan significantly less effective if the case is place on carpet or anything that isn't a smooth flat surface.

No intake fan is included in combination with an 80mm exhaust fan instead of a larger 92 mm fan.

Weak power supply (300W).

Other Thoughts: There is room for an 80mm fan intake in the front and an 80mm or 92mm exhaust in the rear. Newegg fails to mention this.

Power supply is of ATX form factor.


Although I list many more cons than pro's it is still a good case. That spacing is expected of a mini-tower so I new ahead of time that the parts were going to be cramped. And the need and positioning of fans is dependent on your own system.

Pros: this handsome case is being used for the new Mac clone, renamed Open Computer as of 14APR08 ... discussion on ZDNet included an ArsTechnica link with a picture, and I recognized the microATX tower they've selected as this Asus ... this development is a positive one, in my opinion ... smart company, recognizing Asus quality to make its product better

Cons: (none)

Other Thoughts: let's just hope Jobs lets this thing make its way on to the open market and realize he still makes some money selling the Leopard OS on this box

Pros: Nice looking case! No sharp edges, and comes with all the front ports you'll need. Motherboard-friendly connectors from the front ports. Lots of screws provided. Ships in its own ASUS box, and it is padded well, so it did not get damaged. Doors for the CD/DVD is great to maintain the look of the case.

Cons: I wish it is offered without a power supply for a little discount. I never trust included PSU unless it is made by known brands like Antec, etc. I always buy a good PSU, so the one that came with the case gets thrown out. I wish cases ships for free too.

Other Thoughts: The documentation that came with the case was in a little piece of paper, and it is written in Chinese or whatever those characters are. Not that a documentation is really necessary.

Pros: Small, good looking, non cheap looking case. It only fits micro ATX and its a TIGHT fit but works well. The power supply works good but the fan in the unit is a bit loud and the case fan works but you want to get a fan with better CFM.

Cons: I did not need a manual, however the manual in the box is a TOTAL JOKE!

Other Thoughts: If you want a cheap, well built case then this case is perfect! btw no sharp edges!

Pros: This is a really good unit. It has an attractive design that doesn't look goofy like most DIY cases. It also has a good price. I didn't experience any issues with the build.

Cons: The case has a pretty lazy airflow design.

Pros: Positive: Strong frame... Reminds me of a Mac. I like how it's compact. It fits everything well. I like the power button blue led. I did not purchase it from Newegg. Good amount of screws etc. I like the front firewire, even though my motherboard didn't have it.

Cons: Negative: Needs an air duct. The fan is too loud. I could hear it 4 rooms away. The power supply is cheap if you're going quad core CPU with higher end video cards. I had to push the power supply in hard. I wish the bottom holes on the side would fit 2 80mm fans.

Other Thoughts: Other thoughts: I was searching for something nice and clean but compact. I was looking for the smallest ATX tower possible for Quad Core extreme motherboard, standard power supply and 8800GTX video card. This is still larger than what I need, but it's one of smallest ones I could find. STX psu's are too weak, so I had to choose a larger case such as this. I'm constructing my own case for the components listed above with measurements 10x11x7 inches only. I guess I just cannot find a small enough atx case that supports standard psu, quadcore extreme and 8800gtx.

Pros: not so expensive

Cons: flimsy,. Not neat. I will exchange this for another one

Other Thoughts: Look for more expensive cases
