This review is from: APEX MI-100 Black / Mirror finish Steel Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case 250W Power Supply
Pros:
Inexpensive. 5.25 and 3.5 external bays for the size is quite nice. Shiny @_@
Cons:
No side vent on the PCI/-E side of the case. The plastic front is a bit flimsy. Pressure on the top of the case, can sometimes get in the way of the optical drive from opening properly. Also, it's a bit tough getting at the optical drive if you need to force it open with a pin.
Overall Review:
If you have a PCI/-E video card installed, the fan is going to blow right into a solid wall leading to some heating issues. There is a side vent on the HDD side which is nice, but it would have been better on the other side. I put together an Atom 330 machine with PCI video for dual DVI output. Though everything should run cool, the lack of breathing room for the video card actually leads to the entire thing heating up more than I would prefer for such a low powered computer.
