HEC 6C28BBX585 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 585W Power Supply

Pros: I was very suprised at how good this case looks up close, I built it for a client and they were very satisfied.
the front of it is nice glossy black, which you might not be able to tell from the picture, also the power supply seems to hold up to what it says.

Cons: I cut my hand while popping out the fron cover for the disk drive, be carefull

Overall Review: Asus mobo
AMD brisbane dual core 2.7GHz
2GB ram
320Gb western digital

Pros: You get a 585W power supply and a case in one. Power supply worked out of the box, unlike other reviews. Now on to the reality...you are paying for that PS whether you realize it or not.

Came as part of a "killer" Newegg combo deal. Newegg is the king of deals!

Some reviews mentioned lack of standoff's. That's really not a problem as the case has raised areas where the motherboard screws directly onto the threaded holes on the back panel. That is different than other case manufacturers, so probably threw some people. There were a couple of extra screw-in type standoffs provided to support the uATX mobo I used...but alas, they stripped out.

This is the most basic of cases. As it states in the Overview "HEC's 6C28BBX585 Mid Tower is great value for people who are trying to build an inexpensive system..." That pretty much sums it up.

Cons: Where do I begin? So many flaws.

1. Case is poor quality, thin metal, bends easy, like it was made from recycled Chinese beer cans
2. Wear gloves to be safe!!! Sharp edges, burrs, etc. Lacks good finish on the metal. Cut myself twice on it.
3. As mentioned by others, the front USB ports are very close together. You can put two cables in side by side but don't try a cable with a USB flash drive.
3. Only one expansion card blank provided? What is up with that? I guess the idea is that you only remove the punch-out expansion card blanks that you need and leave the rest in place. I had some extras blanks from some other higher quality cases used in previous builds, so I put those in place instead.
4. As mentioned in the "Pros" section, I used some leftover standoffs from previous builds to fix standoffs that stripped out on me before I could get the motherboard completely tight.
5. Practically non-existent documentation...one page and the material list didn't match
6. 80

Overall Review: Ended up getting the package to work after MUCH effort.

This was designed to be a budget build to replace my wife's old computer with a new one. To that end it finished up just fine. If this case didn't come as a package deal I would never buy it outright on its own. Watch the sales and get a better quality case. You can probably come out about the same $ for a case and P.S. if you get them both on sale.
