Who says cutting edge cool has to be expensive? Powmax's model CP0327PL shatters that myth. This highly affordable case doesn't need any fancy words to show its edge of cool, one picture is more than enough. But don't think this is just another pretty face. With four external 5.25" drive bays and two 3.5" external drive bays this case has room for whatever you need to put in there. All of the external drives and the USB and audio ports are displayed with style that reflects today's ultra modern aesthetics.
The side panel has a window with pre mounted 80mm LED fan, with vents in the rear to make sure the heat from this system is just from its looks. With all this, what more could you ask for? Wrap your important components in the strength of steel to protect your investment! This could be the total case package you've been looking for.

handle issue and flimsy issue,not!
- Pros: plz read thoughts below.
- Cons: plz read other thoughts on the handle and the flimsyness,because it is not at all.
- Other Thoughts: ok,are you gonna pick up a 150lb tv only by the handle that is on top NO!!!or any other heavy object with valuable parts in it with a handle on top NO!!,YOUR NOT.the proper way to lift this object like many others is to hold the handle at the top and use your other hand to support the bottom of the case.CARRY IT WITH TWO HANDS,GIMMIE A BREAK PEOPLE ITS NOT THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT.and about the flimsyness,are you planning on playing "slaughter the bum" with your computer or beating it with a ball bat.its a decent case i dont know what most of you who are complaining about expect for the price.
GREAT NEWEGG DEAL
- Pros: I have had this case for over one year.Great case, Great power supply.2 Hard drives, 3 fans, 2 CD-Rom Drives.I have built many systems with this case.Nice Looking, Easy to move with the top handle.Some have stated that the power supply was NG? Then simply replace it with the Thermaltake TR2 W0070 ATX 430W Power Supply unit on sale here at NEWEGG-$30 ANOTHER GREAT DEAL.This case is worth the money with no power supply.
- Cons: NONE-Please read my other thoughts below.
- Other Thoughts: As I have stated in other case reviews:
I don't understand why people complain about the thickness of the metal/plastic on cases.Can you buy a better case? Yes- But what do you intend to do with the case after you build your system? Put it next to your monitor and power it on and off, or stand on it and/or toss it around?
Directions?-Manual? How about this- Mount the Motherboard in the case,Connect the wires from the case to your motherboard! If you need Directions to assemble your case then you should not be attempting it. You can always buy a major brand name system for 3 times the price-with no customer reviews.

nice
- Pros: It is a very good size for those who want to build a gaming rig, but not for those who want intensely fast rigs (ie. SLI video cards, 3.0+ghz processors, 4+gb RAM)
For those who want the medium to lower high end products, this case is fine. The power supply can support a 8800GT video card as long as your processor is 65 watts or less.
The handle is pretty strong and it doesn't feel flimsy at all
- Cons: 400 watt PSU can be on the light side for those who want big rigs, but then again, if you want a big rig, go for a full tower instead of a mid tower size case.
The LEDs are VERY bright in the front. With a internet chord in the back glowing green a little, the red side case fan, and the front blue/red LEDs, this thing is very colorful, and almost a little to excessive.
- Other Thoughts: it keeps my CPU (AMD x2 4800+ stock: 2.5Ghz, overclocked 2.79Ghz) very cool (24-31 while idle, 42 under stress tests) with good air flow. The side case fan spins around 3200RPM. I kept my foot down there and it froze my feet haha. If your looking for something above medium range, but not high end price tag, this is fine.
nice
- Pros: its pretty, the grip is pretty solid, I carried it up and down the stairs with no problem at all, didn't feel weak or shaky. The lights look nice.
- Cons: the lights are pretty bright haha, good luck falling asleep with those lights on.
- Other Thoughts: pretty good air flow, I'm running a AMD X2 4800 @ 2.5ghz, 2G RAM, BIOSTAR MOBO, and about to install a nvidia 8600gt video card. With all these things in there, my CPU runs at 27-31 and 40-45 when under stress. the case is solid and has a good amount of room to work in
i hate it but i love it, here is why
- Pros: ok, this thing is great for the low low price. i couldn't ask for more at this price.seriously. Fits my ATX mobo the PSU is giving me the power it should be on on voltage levels. I really like the air flow, i took out the front leds and customized a filter (also did the same with the front USB&Audio hookups, they were not needed So I put a 120mm fan up front as an intake, the side fan being an intake blows on my 4 gigs of OCZ platinum ram, then my Freezer 64 takes all that and blows it out the back 2x80mm exhaust fans. great air flow for such a cheap case.
This thing is not even as bad looking as it might be in the picture, the front (silver?) does not stick out(or appear ugly) like I believe the pictures make it look. they are not bad looking, right now my x2 5600+ is running at 23C... might be due to my room being chilly lol if your like me and read all reviews of a product before you buy it, just take my word on it if you want a clear sided case in this price range this it is!
- Cons: well i dont know if it was my fault or not but i took it out of the box it came in and gently tested the handle and it seemed sturdy. I packed it back in the box for later use when i unpacked it I pulled on the top handle to get it out of the box and it must have been stuck because the top pulled off. I haven't got around to fixing it yet (plastic epoxy) but now it just sits there waiting to be yanked off again. I'm thinking I can fix this and make it stronger than it was originally anyways, its not a big deal my case is stationary.
- Other Thoughts: I did not have a problem with the LEDS or USB & audio on the front of the case I removed them for the solo reason to increase air flow from the 120mm fan. The 120mm fan blows back onto my 8600gt XXX video card & it has a PCI exhaust blower right below them. (will be getting another 8600gt xxx, along with modular PSU next order)
I am slightly surprised that the case PSU is still working, I say that with a hard swallow because I haven't got around to ordering the modular PSU I wanted yet, but im only using 1 optical and 1 HD currently.
Ga-ma57sli-s4 MOBO, Athlon64 x2 5600+ (2.8stock), Artic Cooling Freezer 64 on the Proc, 4x1gb OCZ platinum (4-4-4-11), XFX 8600gt XXX.
Also I couldn't see anyone SERIOUSLY complaining about anything with this case, if your looking for one in this price range, U are going to want one that keeps your stuff cool, and looks very well doing it. I personally would buy this again, so I recommend it to you if your reading these reviews.
