This review is from: APEX MI-110 Black / Silver Steel Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case 250W Power Supply
Pros:
It hits the minimum standards of a case with flying colors. If you're looking to keep your components contained and protected from the world at a minimum of expense, this is a great case for you.
The case is sturdy and rigid, and has that heavy feel that indicates that it will take a fair bit of abuse; everything lines up nicely, so there's no issues getting components mounted.
Cons:
It's a cheap case, not a good case. There are no bells or whistles for your convenience. The case is very cramped (which sort of goes with the territory of a compact mini-ITX case), and combined with sharp edges in evidence on the inside, is in no way a pleasure to work in. The plastic front panel is flimsy; my power button tends to stick, which is an annoyance (though not a dealbreaker).
Overall Review:
For the price, it's a great way to keep all your components next to all your other components and safe from errant kicks or falling objects. It's not a luxury case or a good platform for a tinkerer, but for the general case of putting a computer in it with a minimum of expense, I can heartily recommend it.
I built a nice little NAS box in mine, a purpose it serves admirably.
