GIGABYTE GZ-XA1CA-STB Black Front bezel : Aluminum Body : SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case is the bomb. It's got the clean, simple, professional design. Very little plastic, brushed metal appearance, front audio, usb and firewire ports. Rolled metal inside for less cuts and scrapes during assembly. Roomy but not too roomy. 5 full size bays and 1 3.5" bay. Completely tool-less design. 2 - 120mm fans, rear one lights blue. Decent manual. Bezel's bottom front allows for a custom logo that gets projected onto the floor/desk by a switchable blue or white led. Kinda cool. Metal mesh on side panel can be replaced with a plexiglass sheet (INCLUDED!) for a great looking window that's not so large it showe more case metal than components.

Cons: The bottom hard drive bay uses drive rails, but it's slightly small and make for a very tight fit for hard drives. Beware the front panel's audio pin out which is poorly documented and non-standard (as usual). Motherboard panel is non-removable. Hard drives in the bottom bay will block the front 120mm fan's airflow so I added another 120mm fan enclosure to the 5 1/4" bays.

Overall Review: If you're sick of cases that light up your whole room and look like a transformer robot fromt the future, this is the case you want. Both Gigabyte and Neweggs descriptions don't do it justice or show off all it's features. When I opened the box I found a plexiglass sheet which can be used to replace the metal mesh and make a great looking window.

Pros: Looks good

Cons: only room for 2 HD drives.

Overall Review: None
