Sentey Slim 2422 Slim Flex Case w/Power Supply LCD DISPLAY SECC 0.7mm 2x USB/1x Fan/Micro ATX-ITX

Pros: Bought this case for a small media PC Build for a friend. She wanted something that looked nice and didn't take up much room, while maintaining enough power to edit video and stream movies. The case looks GREAT. The gloss finish and chrome accents really work well together, and the case overall exudes a high end appearance. Assembly was easy, build quality was on par with similarly priced cases.

Cons: Supplies were missing one MOBO standoff, but I had a spare so it was no big deal. The instructions are poorly translated, but who needs them anyway? The worst issue with this case is the integrated PSU. It has been stable for a week, but it is LOUD. By far it is the loudest fan on this PC, and the only one that is ever audible. There is no way I have found yet to slow it down.

Overall Review: Not sure if the PSU fan has a faulty thermal sensor or if it is just loud to begin with. The exhaust air is never even warm though, so it could very well be a bad sensor. Build: Sentey Slim 2422 MSI 880GM AMD Phenom II x4 955 Sapphire Radeon HD 4650 512mb Low-Profile 6GB GSkill DDR3 1600 1tb Seagate Barracuda

Pros: Uses generic 450 watt small ps located in front, with power cable extension going from rear of case. Sturdy construction. Lots of access to MB when open. Easy access to HD and CD Rom. Pretty Case.

Cons: Front bezel does not come off easily--plastic foot twisted off from front of case to unscrew. Super-glued it back on. Don't really need to take off front anyway. Electronics panel a little difficult to fathom, makes beeping noise from time to time with inactivity, yet to figure this out.

Overall Review: Shipping a bit expensive but is a relatively heavy case for its size.

Pros: Ships in a box.

Cons: Arrived DOA. Dead power supply. The Intel motherboard I bought requires 9 posts, this one only comes with 6. Drives barely fit inside and rested on the power cable for the motherboard (Intel). Instructions are terrible. Avoid this product!!!

Overall Review: I RMA'd this ($24 in return shipping) and now I need to order another case. This is the first time in a long time that I've received a product DOA, and it's the last time I'll buy anything under this brand name.

Pros: Good quality metal case, not as cheap as I thought it would be. Easy to work with. Good room to work with for a smaller case. All parts fit tight, no rattles. Small chance my 260 gtx will fit in this with a pci bridge adapter.

Cons: inside of drive doors not painted.

Overall Review: Pretty nice case. Looks longer than I thought it would be. It is a slim line, so its a longer case, don't confuse it with a compact for overall dimensions. Micro atx mobo, micro power supply, and low profile slots. You will not get a regular vid card in this, low profile card only. Big cpu cooler or regular power supply will not fit either. Power supply I upgraded to: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104132 Cooler I used: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835887025

Pros: It looks awesome, perfect for HTPC. Everything fits well, even with my upgraded CPU fan.

Cons: Bad quality control at the manufacturer. This was one of the rare times that UPS did a really good job, the corners on the box were sharp and it wasn't all scraped up so I know it was handled with care. When I opened the case I found that they had over-tightened both screws that hold the face plate on, and the plastic screw holes were broken off. Since the cost of shipping the case back is more than I paid for it, I decided to just buy some plastic weld epoxy and put it back together. Its good now, but its ridiculous that they would let something like that ship out.

Pros: Looks nice, easy install, front LCD looks good. When it over heats the LCD goes from blue to red.

Cons: HOT!HOT!HOT! This case has 1 fan and no other fan mounts. The door has vents but no fan mounts. The alarm is always going off. The only way to keep it from over heating is take the side off or put a fan on it. The fan only kicks on after its heated up, then its to late. So I mounted a new fan and ran it straight to the MB and still it over heats.

Overall Review: Great case for low end parts that don't need cooling.

Pros: 1. Beautiful 2. Great detail, the paint is thick and glossy. The red has metallic flake. Red back-lit screen is a nice touch. 3. Easy to work in. Plenty of space and slack in the wires. DVD, HDD and floppy drive tray comes out smoothly. 4. PSU works well in a low power machine. 450w non UL listed. Perfect for HTPC builds. 5. Amazing customer service. I called and left a message. Receiver a return call in 10 minutes. I called about how to take off the top panel (vertical) and they showed me where the screw was (to the right of the 80mm fan)

Cons: 1. Rivets everywhere. Makes modding and (future) repairs time consuming. 2. English manual is poorly translated 3. PSU extension was not plugged in, caused a bit of a panic for 5 minutes.

Overall Review: I bought mine locally at a retail store. Great value at this price point. Both fans (psu + 80mm) are OK. Not the quietest in the world but not noticeable from 6ft+ away. I have received a lot of comments from everyone about my new case. It sits on top of my desk at work. If the case does not power on at first, take off the top panel and make sure the PSU extension is plugged into the PSU. Mine wasn't. Gain access by removing the screw next to the 80mm fan. then remove the top vertical cover.

Pros: Exceptional design. Eye-candy to look at. but a couple of things bring the whole package down.

Cons: 1) Power supply fan is loud with no way to adjust speed 2) Chirping sounds from the power supply are not gone yet (how long will this break in take!?) 3) power supply is of custom form factor 4) plastic is brittle (hooks that hold plastic panels in place break off too easily)
