Might as well have built my own, from cardboard! 01/11/2014
This review is from: Xigmatek CCM-35ABX-U01 (Recon) Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros:
1. Looks nice, from a distance.
2. very lightweight. A 3 year old could easily carry two of these; one under each arm.
3. Has a USB 3.0 header, to go from mobo to front panel.
Cons:
1. Arrived with at least one interlock for side door broke off.
2. Much more flimsy than pictures would imply.
3.
Overall Review:
1. I bought this without doing much research and I could truly kick myself.
2. I have built over 50 units, both for clients at my regular job, for friends on the side and for the last 5 home computers.
3. I have seen some cheap cases but to date, this is the cheapest one I've encountered.
4. I have decided to simply box it back up and donate it UNUSED, to a local charity.
5. This should really be sold at an, "everthing-is-a-dollar store".
6. I suppose if you were in a "Macgyver situation", this chassis (plus a rubber band and some duct tape) would hold things together long enough to send an email perhaps??
7. In the words of a famous pasta food by Kraft,
"it's the cheesiest"
8. Do yourself a big favor and just pass this one by.
