GIGABYTE gz-KXA Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Front panel has a great sleek black finish. The power button also looks cool when turned on, it illuminates a ring of blue, similar to an xbox.

It also comes with standoffs, thumb screws, and a POST beep speaker to plug into the motherboard.

Cons: Seems a bit flimsy, especially the panels when they're off the case, I had to be very gentle. The things you take out of the back to put the video card through just pop off, so you cant put them back on in you ever change your configuration. Not that it will really be an issue, who plans on downgrading from the PCIE to the PCI?

Other Thoughts: I would give this 3 eggs, but for the price, its quite decent.

Pros: Looks really nice, great button, easy to swap components, screw-less case (for the most part), plenty of room for things, though I guess that's because I have a microATX board in an ATX Case haha.

Cons: The only real complaint I have is the back PCI panel.
It's made of very flimsy metal that bends easy and the PCI slot cover is a pain to deal with.

Other Thoughts: Considering its price it is a really nice case. I hope it holds out, My last case's button broke due to wear and tear.

Pros: Inexpensive.
Nice optical drive faceplate.
Looks great.
System fan included.

Cons: Made with thin steel.

Other Thoughts: I would buy another.

Pros: Great case, light, sturdy, roomy, non-screw holders

Cons: Missing 3/4 of the non-screw holders, no feet for case, no power cord! What a cheap mess! RIP OFF!

Other Thoughts: Dont get this case unless you absolutely want it! WASTE OF $!

Pros: The edges were filed down, so the PC didn't require a blood sacrifice when I put everything together. It was nice to have the clips that obviated the need to use screws (exception: see below). Nice airflow (I added a 80mm fan to the side panel just to be sure).

Cons: They only provided one clip to secure the DVD drive, so it's a little loose, but no biggie, just fell back on regular screws on the other side. The construction overall seems a little flimsy, but it's aluminum, so that's always going to be the case (no pun intended). Not a real problem, this machine wasn't designed to be moved around very much. If there were supposed to be feet included, they were missing. No front fan.

Pros: Good Case for the money. Mine had no fit and finish problems at all. Looks good and has adequate cooling for low to mid range computer systems. (I added the extra fan to the door)

Cons: Budget case has less expensive components and a no frills design, as should be expected.

Other Thoughts: Not much to complain about for a $15.00 case. One shouldn't expect a lot of finery and craftsmanship unless he's willing to pay more for his case. I bought this to put an older computer mainboard & components into as a gift for someone who had nothing at all. I wanted them to have a new case to look at. This looks great and they just love their 'New Ubuntu Computer'.

Pros: The entire front bezel is a nice piano black finish. Entire front bezel is made out of glossy black plastic. It looks really nice! Rest of the case is spray painted matte black with decent quality.

Front panel wiring works great and has good cable length. Nice power button LED, just the right brightness. Plenty of HDD bays. Optical mount allows for horizontal adjustment so you can be sure your drive button will mount flush and work from the top drive cover. :) Interior design isn't perfect but gets the job done. Plenty of extra mounting screws.

Cons: No case feet, seriously? Sorry but it doesn't list in the specs that it doesn't come with case feet. Where's the feet! (-1 Egg)

Obstruction for mouting FDD required pliers. Fixed in 2 seconds.

If you don't want wires hanging on the side door then you can mod the case with an intake somewhere else (top or front). Inadequate airflow. 80mm exhaust fan has adequate CFM and decibel but... with no intake, airflow is a serious problem. Didn't like the PCI card holder bracket. You can take off the bracket and use individual screwholes like normal so I'm not gonna take off an egg for that.

Seriously thin case material but I have no worries about using it on a daily basis. Side door is thin sheet metal. Metal is still metal. Case is almost as light as the cardboard box it comes in.

PCI card bracket on the back isn't worth the hassle but it does have individual screw holes so just take off the bracket and you'll be fine.

Other Thoughts: The glossy black plastic on the front makes it an absolutely gorgeous case. Pictures here don't do it justice. It really is a deep rich black plastic that is super glossy. All of the bay covers are also the same black plastic. Very nice looking case.

Where can I get the feet for this thing? Ridiculous.

Pros: 1) It was Cheap
2) Gigabyte..like my other computer components and peripherals
3) Bigger than all my previous cases
4) Place to add a fan on the side of the case

Cons: 1) Flimsy metal. The door bent on the corners a little by itself from being closed..haha
2) Sounds weak and hollow

You can tell if a power supply is usually good if its decent weight. If the power supply is light as a baseball then there is a problem.

This case was lighter then a 2 year old baby...it seems it was a bad choice

Other Thoughts: The case was not a smart buy, but I love gigabyte...
A lot of things I have are gigabyte

Motherboard
Video Card
Computer Case

I am about to order a mouse and keyboard to match my case.

One con I have is...
GIGABYTE where is that USB 3.0 Add on card you had selling. Its no longer available here on newegg, or other sites. The add on card doesnt even have a page existing on the gigabyte page anymore.

Care to tell me if they wont be produced anymore? because they are like $40=50 on auctions and stuff like that.

Pros: Nice piano black gloss front panel. Front panel wiring works great and has good cable length. Nice power button. Plenty of HDD bays. Optical drive cover works great. Good interior design and plenty of mounting hardware didn't leave me scratching my head during the build.

Cons: Obstruction for mouting FDD required pliers. No case feet, seriously? Sorry but it doesn't list in the specs that it doesn't come with case feet. Where's the feet! (-1 Egg)

If you don't want wires hanging on your door then you'll need to mod the case with an intake somewhere else (top or front). Has inadequate airflow. 80mm exhaust fan has adequate CFM and decibel but with no intake, airflow is a problem. Didn't like the PCI card bracket, worthless.
Seriously thin case material but I have no worries about using it on a daily basis. It's not made out of gingerbread or anything like that. Metal is still metal. Case is almost as light as the cardboard box it comes in.

PCI card bracket on the back isn't worth the hassle but it does have individual screw holes so just take off the bracket and you'll be fine.

Other Thoughts: For the price I paid and what I got; I'll give it 4 eggs because I knew what I was getting into it. It's a gorgeous looking case and worth almost what I paid for it (minus the missing feet).

Where can I get the feet for this thing? Ridiculous.

Pros: Low cost
Looks decent

Cons: Made of weak metal
Worst design for securing pci cards ever, flimsy and bends easily, does a poor job of holding cards still

Other Thoughts: poorly designed case, would not buy again. 2 eggs instead of 1 because it is so cheap
