This review is from: RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WR Black / Red SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros:
it does it's job as a case, roomy but plain, nice looking case once complete meaning with the side panel window the system I put into it looks nice
Cons:
really not enough ventalation for a high end system, I have a P4, maxed out on fans and a high end processor fan on the P4 for my daughter and the air coming out of the exhaust fan is extremely warm in comparison to the other P4 systems using different cases for my other 2 kids.
Exterior case parts are loose fitting, I constantly have to fight with the 5 1/4 bay covers falling out, only they don't fall outwards but rather inwards meaning taking off the side panel to retrieve them and put them back in ever so carefully so they don't fall in right away again. My experience with this case considering it comes from what I consider a great manufactuer of computer parts keeps me from trying other cases from them. It just doesn't give me a feeling of quality when I deal with this case :-(
Overall Review:
I ordered a red case, box was marked red but got an orange one upon opening. Front panel was cracked and I/O component was not in place, took cover off, put I/O component back in but mounts were broken so my daughter has to be careful plugging in USB devices not to push it back out again, I fixed the crack with some super glue and you can't notice the crack. Box was crushed when received and I had a bad feeling something would be wrong but didn't expect not only broken parts but orange vs. red like ordered. I would have RMA'd this had my daughter not been in such a hurry to get her first system and she doesn't mind the wrong color and cracked front panel and I/O problem. I changed the fans all to purple LED's for her and it looks great with the orange panel and really makes the interior parts pop and considering building more systems using purple LED fans
