APEVIA X-JUPITER G-Type X-JUPITERG-BK Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Very very cold temps over the entire motherboard. The two 120mm fans in the back make sure there is no lingering heat within your case.

Cons: Clips for drives take a little skill to put on, if your not careful, they will break!

Overall Review: Overall, my system temps all together dropped by at least 15 degrees. I am very, VERY satisfied with this purchase.

Pros: Huge amounts of room to work. HD4870's have plenty of room and these are long cards at 10.5 inches. The rail system for hard drives and optical drives makes life very easy since it is toolless. Even the biggest heatsinks will fit this case. My Zalman 9700 is perfect in it. The LCD is awesome and the built in fan controller rocks!

Cons: Cables from the top panel for the USB/Audio/1394 ports are not quite long enough depending on motherboard. They need another 3-4 inches to allow for optimal cable management. Bigger PSU's like the Corsair HX1000 prevent you from using a 120mm fan on the top vent of the case because of their length. I need another half inch of clearance to use a 120mm fan. Minor issue since you can still mount an 80mm fan like a SilenX but would rather have been able to mount my Scythe S-Flex...

Overall Review: This is my second Apevia case. Love my original one as well. Keep up the good work Apevia!!!

Pros: This thing looks awesome. The black with blue LEDs is a good coloring in my oppinion (then again those are 2 of my favorite colors). This thing can move a lot of air thanks to having 4 fans stock with a slot for a 5th fan. There is plenty of space to put any extra wires you might have. My PSU has a ton as it isn't modular and it was hard to get them all to fit in my old mid case, but they fit no problem in this case. The screwless install for things is easy to install and being able to see the temps is cool too.

Cons: So far there are only a few main cons I've found. First is that if you want to see the temps in F instead of C it takes a bit of work and it isn't in the instruction manual (a rep posted it somewhere else but I can't find it so I'll post what I remember down in the other thoughts). Next is the sound cords, they aren't long enough to reach where they go on my 780i MOBO, but luckily I didn't plan on using them (all of the other cords reached just fine though). Third is that only 2 of the 4 fans are LED. The last thing is that there is 1 more fan slot than provided fans. Overall I didn't think any of these things were bad enough to knock off an egg, but other people might want to know about them.

Overall Review: This thing really is huge. If you haven't ever seen a full tower in person you will probably be surprised by the size (I know I was). Some people might want to go with a mid if they don't want something too big. And here is how you change the C to F (this really should be in the manual) You have to take off both sides of the case. This will expose 6 clips for the front panel (3 on each side). Once you do those the front will come off and you can see the back of the LCD screen. On the back you are able to change it to the other format if you want.

Pros: Case is huge. Air flow is very good for cooling, plenty of space for large video cards. Looks great.

Cons: Had to choose between rear usb port add on and front usb ports. Bright led's light up room at night.

Pros: The case is absolutely HUGE. I was shocked about how big it was so thats a plus. The top vent, you can add another fan being another 120 or an 80 so thats more air flow. You can also put up to 5 fans blowing air in and 5 fans blowing out but that would be enough airflow so that you would have to tie a rope to your computer so it wont fly away lol.

Cons: The only thing is that it is LOUD. It makes like a houling sound almost and it pitches up and down so its alittle annoying. Im gonna pick up some new fans for it so it will not be as annoying.

Overall Review: If you dont mind noise it will keep your stuff cool. Over all its an awsome case as far as size and airflow and all that good stuff. The on thing that i love is that the usb and everything else is on the top of the computer and that makes it so much easier to put in flash drives and whatever else like mics and whatnot. Another thing i forgot to mention was that im fermiliar with computes like ive built them before but its sort of complicated because there are alot of wires to arrange and its hard to get them to do what you want as far as the dials in the front to reduce and speed up air flow but i figured it out after reading the manual. Although the manual SUCKS but i figured it out

Pros: This case is huge. Plenty of room for expansion and airflow. Lights are only included on the front LCD and the Apevia logo on the front, while the rest of the lights are output by the two LED fans (the rear fans are translucent blue, but not LED). There's room for 5 120mm fans, with 4 included. After using the internal included termperature probes, the temperature in the case runs at only 4-6 degrees Celsius over the base temperature when initially starting. It has been stated however that the temperature probes are not exceptionally accurate, but with temperatures so significantly low, I can easily say airflow is not a problem. I was not expecting this case to have several locks on it, but this serves as a good thing. As someone heading back to college, this lets me lock my case's panels, both front and side, from prying roommates. 4 USB ports are a treat, as are a mic and speaker output.

Cons: The fan placement on the window conflicts with aftermarket heatsinks and graphic card wiring when using crossfire. With one graphics card you can pick a slot more out-of-the-way, but when using multiple full-sized cards, the cabling does rub against the fan. My 212+ heatsink did not fit at all, so the fan had to be removed. Unfortunately this was the sole light source for the side window, but this both enabled my window to be un-tethered from the case's fan cabling, as well as letting me install a fan in the unused top slot. However, this does leave some annoying slot holes in the case from where the connecting pins originally were. The fan controllers are a nice touch but were difficult to install due to mislabeled (and one unlabeled) cables within. Once sorted they worked quite nicely, but this increased install time by a substantial 45 minutes of debugging and cable-searching. Both of my temperature probes were labeled CPU as well, so finding the HD one took some testing.

Overall Review: This case is enormous. It fits nicely with all my parts with lots of room for cabling. Modular casing would have been nice given the size, but not really necessary. Plenty of mounting points exist for zip-tie users like myself. The toolless drive bays were a real treat to work with, and made installation a breeze. Note that only two of the fans are LED capable (front and side fans), and that no other internal case lights are present. Cold cathode lights were annoying to wire into the case due to the length they had to run, but it worked out nicely with a little planning. All in all I would recommend this case so long as you have the room for it.

Pros: Since this case was bought almost 3 years ago in January 2008 i have bought other cases for others and none compare to this one (That is considering this is bought at $70 not $160...) It has a very sleek appearance in my opinion, but very simple design. After 3 YEARS all lights, tool-less items, wires, fans, and the case itself are COMPLETELY IN TACT. as others have said: very large, lots of space

Cons: I guess the sideways hard drive slots are kind of annoying, but i didn't mind since i was able to PUT THE HARD DRIVES IN BACKWARD, and hide all cables coming from them. Compared to other cases Ive run into, this ones wire management is kind of tough to deal with however i spent a day and was able to hide them fine.

Overall Review: I bought this case at its original 160 dollars 3 years ago, and im satisfied. Its so cheap now, I dont know how a case could get better for $70 when you take in the size, tool-less design, 4 120mm fans, LCD temp display and fan controllers. THE DOOR HIDING CD DRIVES looks great too and part of it almost has a black wood-like texture, visually that is; giving it even more of a sleek look. It has feet on the bottom that you can rotate out, personally i think it looks weird unless these are out, because it looks like your case is hovering if they aren't. I WOULD RECOMMEND SPRAY PAINTING THE SILVER INSIDE BLACK BEFORE USING. At one point i got sick of the silver inside, took everything out, got some masking tape, and spray painted the inside black. I think it looks 5x better this way. 5/5 RECOMMEND TO ANYONE I BOUGHT FOR 160 AND IM HAPPY

Pros: It's big. It's aluminum. Great ventilation. Looks cool and the blue lighting goes great with it. Easy to mount hard drives and DVD drives. Did I say it's huge? Low price (I paid $70)

Cons: *Power supply goes up top instead of on the bottom. Also, makes it more difficult to hide wires. *I bought a Corsair H100 water cooler to go in here and it's supposed to fit any case that uses 2x 120mm fans (like this one has on the rear), but due to a structural bar design there is 1/4" too little space for it to fit. *Lack of cable management makes it very difficult to have a clean look. *Apevia light on the front sometimes doesn't turn on. *The side window panel is pretty flimsy and the handle is not necessary, but if you're like me and don't go in your case on a regular basis it shouldn't really matter. * Cheap material for outside shell and the top USB inputs. If you press it with your finger it flexes. *Cheap feel to it in general.

Overall Review: I'm coming from a CoolerMaster Storm Scout, which has become too small for my needs and wants. I bought it on sale for roughly the same price as this Apevia case, but there is a HUGE and NOTICEABLE difference in quality. This isn't a bad case, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I saw the original price of $160 and it was on sale for $70, so I was expecting $160 quality and $70 price. No, you get budget quality. If you only have $75 to spend on a case and want a full tower, this case might work for you and be deserving of five-stars based on your needs. In conclusion, this is a good case for the price. It's unfair to judge this case too harshly because my expectations were unrealistic. It was naive of me to think I might get a Lian Li quality case at this low price. I would rather spend twice as much and get something I really like.
