5 out of 5 eggs Newegg Please Relist This!!! 04/10/2011

This review is from: Pixxo CB-509E Black 0.5mm SECC Steel Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case 150W Power Supply

Pros:

As others have said, this is a great little case. The case construction quality is excellent, and the venting well thought out. My build is with Zotac H55ITX-A-E, Intel i3-550, a GT220 GPU, 500GB HD and Slim Slot Load DVD drive.

The PSU was too small (and a bit noisy) so I upgraded it to a 275 watt "APEX SL-275TFX 275W TFX12V Power Supply" found here at Newegg. The APEX PSU fit perfectly even though slightly different size. The case fan was no good, replaced it and added a second one, which there is ready to install venting on the bottom. I used SilenX fans.

We use it for computing, it sits within a 18" of the keyboard and monitor, and it's super quiet with the upgrades.

As noted, the extras are cheap, suitable for children. I would rather they invest the cost in improved fans and PSU.

I want to build a HTPC with this case with the same specs and upgrades, that's how good it turned out.

Cons:

None, you won't find a better case at this size and proportions at this price range, or for even more bucks.

Overall Review:

I have built a few systems with economy cases and never found a complete off the shelf solution. You always have to upgrade something. This one is ideal on that basis.
