Diablotek RPA-0170 Black SGCC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 400W Power Supply

Pros: Gets two eggs as the power supply is golden and works well...in another case.

Cons: This case arrived terribly damaged. There was no packaging material inside or around the case to protect it from bouncing around during shipping. The case was dented and the power supply was hanging by a solitary screw. There was a back panel, from another build apparently, in the bottom of the case. Also the screws and speaker that were included were strewn all across the bottom of the case. There were missing pci slot covers. The raiser screws were also already installed. This unit was obviously not refurbished but used and did not go through quality testing. I'm sorely disappointed in Diablotek as they have proven very reliable in the past.

Other Thoughts: It's not worth a return due to the power supply being of use. I'll just get out my hammer and use the case for a project. Hopefully Diablotek will not let me down again.

Pros: None

Cons: Cannot even list because of not being able to use either case.

Other Thoughts: Extremely disappointed. Very slow delivery. Boxes beat up and damaged. Power supply had blown cap rattling around inside. Case had broken face plate fasteners rattling around. Could not even insert motherboard backplane as cutouts were out of align. Not worth return shipping cost.

Pros: -$25
-400W PSU with a nice 12V rail
-Lots of places for fans.
-Sleek design
-Came on time

Cons: -Light materials
-Cheap PSU
-The way everything mounts.

Other Thoughts: This is a pretty nice case especially for the price. I don't have many complaints besides the fact I sliced my finger open trying to put in my motherboard and the way the HDD's are mounted. There are no screws the hold the HDD's in place so if you have it tipped or bumped the drive might slide forward and hit your CPU fan. ( mine did this). I don't trust that PSU at all. I use this for my main rig which has an overclocked X2 and a HD 5750 and I made sure my overclock and GPU were not going to stress the PSU too much by using the online calculators. They said around 300W under load but when I play a game like GTA IV the PSU becomes pretty hot. Not extremely hot but enough to heat up part of the case. So try to keep the stress on that low. Now as for the case's durability it's not bad. I have had it on its side and slide it around with no scratches. It got hit a few times and no dings.
I gave it a 4 because it cut me open.

Pros: I bought this case to get rid of an ugly beige box that has been sitting next to my media center. The size difference has allowed me to hide the case in a cabinet.

Some people have mentioned the case came rather beat-up however I did not have such an experience. and my case looks brand new.

Cons: Unfortunatly the power supply that came with the case was DOA. I confirmed this with a PSU Tester and Volt Meter. Luckily I have a spare one from the old case that I was able to swap in to save me the time and money of RMA'ing the case. A little frustrating but in the end, not that big of a deal.

Pros: Love it. came fast. in great shape. easy to install all hardware.

Cons: front power switch was not working but the switch from my old case snapped right in so it worked out.

Other Thoughts: great value. got case and PSU for less than cost of PSU alone at local store.

Pros: The power supply actually worked.
Cheap.
Came with all the screws.
The one I received looked brand new with no dings or dents.

Cons: Cheap, VERY flimsy.
Had to put a HDD in Optical drive in order to accommodate a slave.
Not sure how long PSU will last; Diablotek PSU's are usually junk.

Other Thoughts: For the price this is a steal if you want to take a gamble on that PSU, which I did. You can get better Case/PSU combos that are actually reliable for a few more bucks.

Pros: From what I've seen it's a great starting point for those looking to get a decent head start on a new machine for a low cost. The power supply is pretty decent in my opinion, and installing the motherboard is pretty easy for the smaller boards.

Cons: The front panel is tricky to remove, making installation of front fans difficult. The size makes it tricky to install some larger boards as well, but if you're using a micro ATX, you should be fine.

Pros: Really cheap ($25). Fully functional.

Cons: Loud fan.

Other Thoughts: Can't beat the price. Don't worry about remanufactured, just like new.

Pros: Nice looking case, wasn't damaged.

Cons: Somebody had swapped the power supply so instead of the 400 W like advertised, it was a 200W old compaq power supply.

Other Thoughts: Oh well. Refurbished. Caveat emptor.

Pros: Front looked great

Cons: Back frame panel was warped to the point od being unuseable. Unable to put the motherboard back panel on. Tower could not, did not sit flat on table. Power supply had rust exposed on and I was not going t attept to connect it to my motherboard. A wasted $35+. Too bad; first "bad" thing I got from NewEgg in over 5 years!
