OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
You want air flow? You got it with the Diablo from ABS. Just make sure that children and small animals are kept away from the case when the system is powered on. It has a 250mm front fan and a massive 360mm side fan to cycle air through the case so efficiently that everything stays cool with no problems. However, if you are running a system that you think needs a little extra oomph in the cooling department there are punch-outs for a water cooling system.

Once you get the mobo in you can put down your tools since the rest of the components go in without tools. The 7 expansion slots have individual locking levers. The drive bays, both internal and external use a locking rail system to keep things in place and minimize vibrations.

This case is ready to handle a powerful system and powerful systems need large PSUs. ABS leaves the choice up to you so you can get a unit that fits your needs. Since there is a support bracket that is attached to the drive cage you can go ahead and install an oversized unit with no worries.

Massive everything.

white Reviewed By: Mark on 7/7/2008
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Massive case, massive fans, massive cooling, massive awesome looking... this case keeps everything running nice and cool, when idling everything in my case runs at 32 degrees C or lower aside from the GPU, which runs around 37 or 38.
Cons: the built in speed controllers on the side of the case do not work on mine, my fans are at full RPM all the time. Not really too upset though because they run pretty quietly.
Other Thoughts: Was a breeze to work inside of, plenty of room for whatever you want and cable management isn't much or a problem.

Impressed with Temps

white Reviewed By: Chad on 12/7/2007
Rating + 4
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: MOtherboard temps dropped 4 degrees Celcius when I upgraded this case I was using the Thermaltake Armor Case (black) prior and switched my parts into it so i could use the thermaltake case for another setup. set this one up and I immediately knew I was getting laid that night; the case sure is a looker. It looks like it might TAKE OFF! with all those fans, especially the jet fan on the front and the monstrous one on the side. The Side fan was a little slower than I had hoped; however, a larger fan covers more surface area and can afford to go even slower.
Cons: Honestly, none. The wiring was OK, nothing spectacular. Spent an extra 15 minutes looking at the instructions trying to tell from the pictures on how to put the case together =P
Other Thoughts: Price efficiency for the amount of air flow one gets in this case, blows any other out of the water.

Great Case

white Reviewed By: Rich on 8/15/2009
Rating + 4
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Huge fans with plenty of air flow. Enough lighting for accents but not enough to blind you like so many other cases I have owned. Pretty well built. plenty of room for components.
Cons: Stupid little things come to mind like one of the fan rpm adjusters is upside down and the switch on the front for that fan is a little touchy. One it has four L.E.Ds for hard drive lights and only 2 work. Also if you have any drive by mount fan control or sound panel like I do the front door will not close. I had to cut out pockets to fit them.
Other Thoughts: A pretty good well rounded case and you can't beat the price. If you have some defects well what do you expect for the price. Give some TLC and it well be a great case.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: This thing is insanely huge! It sure keeps it all cool! The side fan works like a charm for the heatsink! No bumps at all.
Cons: nothing wrong with it other than its overawing size, might pose a problem for some people

Case Base

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Large roomy case. Plenty of room to move objects around and you would think plenty of room to get air circulated inside of the case. Beautiful looking case and easy to work with inside and out.
Cons: Two major size fans, but my large 360 mm fan started to make a weird noise and appears to be slowly dying. The fans do not move as much air as you would think or like it to do. Called manufacturer and told that they do not make the fan and do not support it.
Other Thoughts: Called Newegg and they credited my account for the cost of the fan. Super job on Newegg's part eventhough they had nothing to do with the poorly made fan and my warranty expired about 6 days ago. They make buying things from their site worry free. I will always buy from Newegg after this great service.
