HEC 6T Series 6T10BB Black 0.7mm SECC Steel Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case

Pros: Very small, even for a M-atx case Takes a standard ATX power supply Seems fairly rigid More attractive in person E-SATA on front panel Light weight for a steel case

Cons: Annoyingly bright blue power LED 80mm fan in 90MM slot No buzzer or reset, but I don't miss them No front intake fan slot

Overall Review: Some may complain about the need to use screws to install things, but I personally prefer them. Honestly, I'm not swapping components in and out of a machine this small. I have big ugly server cases for those sorts of machines. I bought this case to be my always-on machine to live on my desk next to my also shiny monitor. I find that I have trouble installing card readers or getting drives to line up properly with most forms of screwless drive bay arrangements. I can operate a screwdriver. Additionally: I had no trouble installing a hard drive in the vertical bay provided. Be it not for the card reader I used, it would be no trouble to install up to four standard hard drives in this case. Does anyone even own a floppy drive anymore?

Pros: Very impressive for such a cheap case! When reading negative reviews remember this IS a MICRO ATX case! This isn't designed to house your 6 Disc RAID 0+1 configuration or your Quad GPUs. Its designed or a MicroATX MoBo and some basic components and a hard drive or two. Love the eSATA on the front. Nice Glossy finish. The hard drive rests vertically so there would be a perfect spot on the front of the case for a 120mm fan to be very efficient but due to the LEDs and power button wires it is impossible without doing some modding. Case seems pretty durable and I received it in great shape.

Cons: A 120mm fan in the front of the case would be nice but not a big deal.

Overall Review: I might get a 5.25" bay fan just to increase the air flow a bit. I will just have to see.

Pros: Love the gloss black finish, simple front panel I/O, good use of space, fan is quiet. This case looks professional. I had no reservations delivering to my client.

Cons: Thought I had been shorted on some motherboard standoffs in the parts bag until I looked closer and realized the MB tray had built in standoffs. Also, 2 3.5" hard drives can be mounted in the horizontal section even though one of those spaces is for a FDD (who still uses those?) but not all of the screw holes lined up perfectly. No con really, as the specs list space for 1 internal 3.5".

Overall Review: If you're building for paying clients, always watch your costs, but don't cheap out on the case. It's the part they see, and reflects the overall quality of your build. This case proves that a professional, clean looking case can be had for a reasonable price.

Pros: looks pretty good for a cheap case, lots of drive openings. Full ATX PSU opening. Kensington lock slot. other security features too

Cons: very cramped, drive cage overhangs the motherboard, and the drives hang out even further. only one dedicated HDD spot, could have put more without affecting the cramping more. PSU is difficult to install. 80mm fan in rear 92mm opening, no reset button. no front fan

Overall Review: a few minor thing would make this a much better case. I'd say buy a cheaper PSU because they come with shorter/fewer wires. it is very tight in areas of this case. other ares have tons of room.

Pros: Great high quailty steel case. The front panel has a sleek glossy finish to it that adds a professional look to it. The finish is a finger print magnet though... Great price along with free shipping which was fast as always... Great product...

Cons: The case has a 3 pin power LED connector and my mobo only fits a 2 pin.

Overall Review: I cut the 3 pin power LED connector right down the middle (which was empty pin slot anyway) with a razor blade so that it'll fit my board. Overall a very nice, well built case. Looking forward to buying another one.

Pros: -small footprint -average design (pros? at least its not awkwardly designed) -inexpensive -customizable (see other thoughts) -front e-sata

Cons: -measurements given are without the bezel, actual depth with bezel is 15 1/2", this was critical in my application. -very basic case -no thumb screws -some sharp edges

Overall Review: I purchased this case because the manufacturer claims the depth to be 13.8", unfortunately the bezel is not included in those measurements and brings the real depth to about 15 1/2", fortunately the simplicity of the design allowed me to take off the bezel, rearrange the LEDs, power button, e-sata and usb ports, and add a 120mm intake fan. I painted the naked front piano black and now it even looks better than with the bezel and has better ventilation.

Pros: - Price - Ease of installation - Appearance (that gloss finish looks surprisingly good) - Solid build (everything is metal, no plastic mounting trays or yay!)

Cons: - No documentation whatsoever - it would be nice to have a few dimensions - No Reset button!? - Very limited number of screws, which come taped in a flimsy plastic bag which made the UPS guy wonder what was broken. If you're installing more than a HD and a single optical drive, bring your own set of screws! - the mounting screws for the expansion cards are for the smaller screws, which is unusual - the power supply mounting is very tight, and you have to use some pressure to get it onto the "shelf" that's part of the back wall - Additionally, if you put an optical drive on the top shelf there is very little clearance between the back of the psu where the cables come out and the back of your optical drive, making modular PSUs difficult to deal with and making it awkward to plug in the optical drive's connection

Overall Review: - Take note that there are two HDD/FDD mounting bays and another "tray" for a vertically-mounted hard drive which is MEANT to be removable, even thought the screw that attaches it is not a thumb-screw. This tray is a pretty tight fit and provides a nice snug "snap" when you pull it out and put it in. (Giggidy?) - The "wind tunnel" thingamajig that extends towards the CPU from the removable panel is plastic, cumbersome and does not line up with LGA 775 or LGA 1155 socket and would block larger CPU fans. - There IS room for super-long graphics cards, however if you have one like a Geforce 285 GTX, you will not be able to mount your hard drive on the vertical tray AND have room for the card. - For a reason i have yet to understand, case manufacturers only support the motherboard underneath the mounting holes. I understand that a mobo can't sit on a bed of foam for heat reasons, but I always feel like I'm going to break things whenever I plug in the 24 pin power plug or a big graphics c

Pros: The case looks incredible... great style. Fits a standard ATX power supply. ESATA and 2x USB 2.0 with easy access. You get a lot of quality case for the money.

Cons: The case should be a little bit longer. My hard drive covers two of the four DIMM slots on my motherboard. This is a problem for memory that does not have a low profile. If your memory does not have a big heatsink, I think it should have room to fit under the protruding hard drive... mine did not. :( The power button feels a little flimsy around the edges. Make sure to press it right in the center. 3.5" hard drive bracket needs screws on both sides, which is near impossible on the closed side of the case. I used the hand tightening screws that came on the back of the case to accomplish this feat. The air tunnel on the side of the case was not really lined up well with the CPU fan. I may just take this off.

Overall Review: As in all things, you get what you pay for. You will need to remove the tiny black foam protector off the top inside of the case to get your standard ATX power supply in properly. If you try to put a standard ATX power supply in without first removing that black foam, the power supply will be misaligned and you might have trouble getting the power supply back out.
