The Smilodon case from Raidmax makes assembling a system easier than ever before. It has a modular, tool-less design that makes the initial build and future upgrades easy. Both side panels latch into place for easy access. For the ultimate in convenience the right side panel has the motherboard tray completed with backplate attached. This lets you install the mobo and all your cards, then lock it into the case as a single unit.
Drive installation couldn’t be easier. The external bays all use Clicklock technology, just slide the drive into the bay and lock it into place. The hard drive rack is removable for easy installations and upgrades. All of the necessary drive rails come in a slide out box so you don’t lose them.
Once you have everything assembled you need to make sure it stays cool. Raidmax has loaded the case with plenty of fans. A 120mm fan is mounted on the front of the case to draw cool air in and blow it across the hard drives. Side and rear mounted 80mm fans keep the air moving over all critical components. There is also an 80mm fan with green LEDs that mounts to a support brace that holds your expansion cards steady and blows cool outside air over them.

Best Case in the Price Range
- Pros: The sleek green LEDs look absolutely amazing with the sheek black finish. The pictures do not do it justice. The transparent side-panel adds a nice glassy 'mod' finish.
The case is quite spacious (houses the Zalman CNPS9700 LED CPU Cooler quite comfortably) and provides 4 fans (3 x 80mm, 1x120mm) for thorough cooling. If you're running in an AC environment, this works especially well as two fans pull cool air into the case, while 2 others blow warm air out.
The GPU stabilizer bracket features sliding notches to hold your GPU into place. There's tool-less implementation for everything except expansion cards and also a handy slide out tool kit for screws and brackets.
The fold out motherboard tray is an obvious joy, and comes in really handy during assembly. You can even remove the side panel from the fold out tray. The hard drive cage slides out allowing for unintrusive installation. Plastic locking mechanisms secure your optical drives. Assembly is pure joy with this case.
- Cons: No case is perfect, but this one came pretty darn close. While you are at a much lower risk of injuring yourself during assembly because of the many plastic or curved edges, there are some metal edges (like those on the hard drive brackets) which CAN cut you. After you've done with assembly, you may notice a few blisters and bruises (more like paper cuts) around your hands and fingers.
It would also have been nice if the USB and AUDIO ports were outside (or unmasked by) the flip cover at front. Connecting devices at the front panel has proven to be rather inconvenient as the front cover closing on the wires can cause a short - especially in headphone wires.
My front panel audio doesn't appear to work. One of the fan LEDs appear to be flickering and it would appear that they will all die sooner or later.
The fold out motherboard tray is useless after installing a large CPU cooler. You'll have to remove the cooler each time you wanted to fold out the tray for any reason.
- Other Thoughts: The case has space for a 5th 80mm fan (not included!) mounted on the side with the fold out motherboard tray. Get a GREEN LED Fan for this empty slot. I recommend the APEVIA CF4SL-UGN Green LED fan, also sold here. I also recommend the Muskin 550250 580 watt PSU which also has a green LED fan. ;)
If you're using a large CPU cooler, install it LAST. Even though it fits inside the case, it's a snug fit. Once you install it, you won't have space to do anything else. In fact, assemble everything in this order:
1. 5th Green LED FAN
2. Motherboard->CPU->Memory
3. Power Supply
4. Hard/Optical/Floppy Drives
5. GPU and other expansion cards
6. Connect all devices from PSU
7. Install large CPU cooler
8. Lock it up, and enjoy!
You have to install the 5th fan FIRST because you have to remove the panel on the fold out motherboard tray to get to that slot. The fan 'clips' into place, so you don't need screws.
Use a modular power supply with this case. You'll be glad you did! ;)

- Pros: the case is amazing... its cheap, its black, its practical makes acessing your mother board really easy. it looks amazing, the snaps make everything easy. love the little tool box that hides under the harddisk slots.
- Cons: there is only one problem with the case and that is it has a fan slot on the right hand side and its not filled with a fan, it is ok though i just bought a uv fan and rearranged my fans around and filled it. other than that is a great case
Excellent Case
- Pros: Very spacious, with almost completely tool-less assembly. Everything fit perfectly, and it closes easily. Looks amazing with the greed LEDs and sleek design. Mesh front allows for plenty of air flow with the included 120mm fans.
- Cons: Reset button can't be pressed easily, but this could also go as a Pro*
Raidmax ATX-612
- Pros: The foldout motherboard tray & removable door are well made and easy to remove & replace. The removable harddrive enclosore also works well and is easy to operate. The case is sturdy besides some exceptions (noted below).
- Cons: I've read some complaints about the face/door coming off....well all but one of the faceplate pins (that hold the door and drive bays) were broken upon arrival. So my only options were to return the case or rig it (which I did...but I'm disappointed in paying so much for this case. The rear case fan, is also very noisy....the blades are actually rubbing the housing..so I will need to replace it. The internal 3.5 storage area has 3 vertical slots, but won't easily fit Harddrves.
- Other Thoughts: If this case was cheaper, I could probably overlook some of the cons...but improvement is needed here.
