LOGISYS Computer CS305BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Enhanced SOHO Computer Case 480W Power Supply

Pros: This case was a package deal from Newegg. It's not bad case, it just needs some tinkering to get the cover to work right. Came with PSU SO that was good

Cons: Adjustments as neccessary

Overall Review: Add an extra fan

Pros: Great case for the price...not intended for bourgeois builds...made for those that are looking for a bargain case and power supply for a modest build.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This case is SSD ready, has its own PSU and enough internal space to accommodate all your build and upgrade needs. If you are looking for a simple build case then purchase...if you are looking for a great case then fork out the money for one...again this is your case if you want a computer today and one you can upgrade tomorrow...buy now.

Pros: 1. It has a nice (blue LED) 120mm fan in front of the 3.5" drive bays. However, you can not remove or move the fan because there is not enough clearance between the (riveted on) bays and the side of the case to pull the fan out. If it dies someday, there is no way to replace it. 2. The 120mm fan pushes a lot of air, but is very loud. I did some minor surgery on the fan molex connector so I could run the fan on 5 volt to slow it down. A Google search will show you how to remove/move molex power pins. Make sure the modification is obvious to everyone else, so nothing ever gets plugged in down stream of the modified molex. 3. The only other fan is in the power supply. It has a nice "hum sound" vs. the "jet engine" sound of the 120mm fan. I also added an old used 80mm fan to the side of the case. There are ventilation holes, but they are two small, making the 80mm addition too noisy. I pulled the same 5 volt trick on the added fan as well.

Cons: 4. The front USBs are upside down. I thought I would fix this by removing the front plastic panel (mine was not damaged in shipping) and flipping the USB panel over. However, it appears to be more trouble than it is worth (due to the 3.5" external bay immediately above the USB panel). 5. No hard drive status LED (also annoying). I took the advise of another review here and attached the power switch LED to the hard dive pins on my motherboard. Not too bad since the LEDs in the 120mm fan act as a power on indicator. 6. I won't repeat all the comments others have made on the flimsy thickness of the case, the sides not fitting very flush, the cheap thumb screws that hold the covers on the back, etc. My stand off holes were not stripped out, but they didn't have a very solid feel either.

Overall Review: 7. The screw bag was broken, so screws were scattered all over the case (including inside the power supply). There were six stand-offs (my motherboard required eight) twelve M3s, and six 6-32s. 8. I have been monitoring the voltage of the power supply (it like everything else is very thin metal). So far, no issues with the PSU. In fact, the variation for the 3.3v, 5v and 12v are usually under 2%. 9. I got this case as part of a combo deal. I was disappointed when I opened the box, but with minor modifications (which cost me nothing but thought and time) it appears the case is usable. I gave it three start (cheap, but usable).

Pros: None.

Cons: - Constructed with very thin and soft steel. - Many screw holes were stripped before even using them. (or maybe too large? ) - PSU actually is 330W. 480W is maximum instantaneous output. - No HDD LED. - No PC Speaker - Front USB ports are upside down. - Does not provide enough motherboard supports.

Overall Review: The only reason I ended up with this case is because it came with a combo kit. Years ago I could buy much better quality case with same price range. Computer case prices are going crazy high these days.

Pros: The appearance is attractive, and I didn't cut myself on it.

Cons: The case wasn't square, the power supply wasn't securely mounted to the case and the stand-offs shipped with the case didn't match the threading in the motherboard tray, so they wouldn't tighten.

Overall Review: I'm a professional computer tech, and I've been building systems for 14 years. The only way I was able to use this case was by going through my parts bins until I found stand-offs that matched the threading of the case. I doubt this would be a practical option for most buyers. The build quality was so poor, in fact, that I removed and replaced the factory power supply with a unit I felt more comfortable with. This made what had been an inexpensive case fairly pricey. So, never again.

Pros: Nice Case. Looks good in the room. I like the blue light.

Cons: 330W power supply . I didn't realize this until I installed a video card requiring a 400W power supply. This is a huge issue for me, and I would have not bought this case knowing the power supply was only 330W. I'm very disappointed with my purchase. Also, I'm having the issue where the power button gets stuck in a depressed state. I have to wiggle it to get it out sometimes.

Overall Review: Buyer beware. The false advertisement of a 480W power supply makes me feel as if I have wasted my money.

Pros: -Good airflow -Looks nice -Powers my AM3 system fine

Cons: -Finger print magnet -Front bezel is pure plastic, very cheap plastic in fact...

Overall Review: Can't complain about this case, you get what you pay for. It's not the best, but it is decent for the price.

Pros: Free PSU, sleek black design. I like the design of this case. It doesn't have any tacky looking 250mm fan jammed into the side panel nor does it have any cheezy looking pseudo grill or a big X anywhere that serves no function. Nice and simple yet elegant design. Has a very low profile purple neon LED which lets you know it is on in the dark.

Cons: Junk PSU, warped junky assembly. When I was about to drop my mobo in I realized that the plate it attaches to was not 100 flat. One of the rivets that was supposed to hold the mobo plate to the main chassis had evidently been popped to hold together...nothing. Not only did this one rivet fail to grab the mobo plate but it also acted to push the plate 1/10th of an inch outwards. This is very bad and can actually short something on your motherboard. Instead of drilling the rivet out and reriveting that plate I just stuck one of those plastic headers in my motherboard which did a decent enough job of gently pushing the warped plate away from the motherboard. Ughhh. Duct tape solution but overall a more stable one too believe it or not. The PSU is junk. It's rated at 480 watts but I believe it can only handle a little more than 200 Watts so forget about tossing multiple hard drives in this case unless you have a better PSU. I swapped it out after it was acting flaky with 4 drives.

Overall Review: Has no reset button which is a nuisance sometimes but no big deal. I just reset the power switch on the PSU.
