LOGISYS Computer CS6801BK Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case 350W Power Supply

Pros: - Inexpensive - Aesthetically minimalist - Included PSU - Surprisingly has some degree of cable management

Cons: - Cheap material - PSU is terrible - Front ODD cover seemed broken/never worked correctly. Super cheap, feels like it was an afterthough in engineering - Entire case just feels cheap. Is NOT made of aluminum as described, but steel

Overall Review: If you're not using an ODD, then this case isn't terrible. But the combination of poor quality, and simply not working, made me return mine.

Pros: as a hobbyist I was looking for a case with power supply for a Mini-ITX motherboard and this case works as expected

Cons: NO CONS

Overall Review: Free Shipping !!!

Pros: You can't beat the price for a nondescript case + power supply. Good for a first ITX project.

Cons: None.

Pros: - Inexpensive - Compact (TRUE mini-ITX case) - Stylish (painted inside and out, door covering optical drive bay is attractive and smooth-operating) - Card Readers & USB 3.0 - 350-Watt PSU Included - Intelligent design; easy to route/hide cables.

Cons: - Listing is not 100% Correct - Cheap Construction (thin, flimsy metal) - PSU has limited usefulness with only 1 SATA connector - Only enough space for 1 HDD or 1 SSD and 1 optical drive; not enough space for all 3. In other words, you can install 2 HDDs or 2 SSDs; or 1 HDD and an optical drive or 1 SSD and an optical drive. - External Drive Bay is FULL SIZE, NOT SLIM.

Overall Review: I ordered 2 of these cases to build office computers with. They are fantastic - but they had a few problems. First, one of the cases I ordered was NOT new. It had been opened, and the included items were not sealed in their original packaging. Everything was there, so it wasn't a big deal, but I should have been given a discount for that. More than one of the screws used to mount the hard drive had been stripped at the factory, so I had to re-tap the holes. The listing is very confusing where it concerns the mounting of peripherals. The 5.25" External Bay is a FULL size drive bay, not a Slim. See 'Cons' for clarification. Case can only properly be mounted one way - standing up like in the pictures so the PSU can vent upwards. You can lay it flat with the card reader facing up, and that might be fine, but it will not get proper airflow. Great case for the money - definitely order it. I could not find any other true Mini-ITX case that had all these features at this price. But read carefully and look closely. In the end, my client was extremely satisfied with the office computers I used this case to build (they look more expensive then they are, which is a boon for system builders,) so I am happy. I almost dropped one egg from the rating because of the curve-balls I had to deal with, but the shortcomings are appropriate for the price I paid. I will consider buying from Logisys in the future.

Pros: It has a large power supply. 350W is more than enough to power what I have in it. It has ample interior space. I wasn't crunched for room or anything and my hands fit into the case nicely. Being someone with large hands I was worried about purchasing such a small case. The cooling is pretty decent considering the board I have in it is fanless.

Cons: The fan is pretty loud. I ended up just replacing it with something a little quieter. The mounting bracket for the dvd was a real pain in the rear but I managed, though the door flap doesn't open correctly. I have to pry the door open to get the dvd drive to eject properly.

Overall Review: All in all this was a pretty good case. I would definitely purchase again for a similar application.

Pros: Very inexpensive, especially considering 350W SFX (MicroATX) power supply. Roughly 4x12x16" (100x300x400mm) size makes for small form-factor, while fitting MicroATX boards. 4x Low-profile slot design (know what you are buying). USB 3.0 ports and USB SD reader. Good mounting for (1) 5.25" external, (1) 3.5" or (2) 2.5" internal plus (1) additional 2.5" above PS.

Cons: Some screw-holes are completely painted and not properly drilled. It's as if they decided that instead of deburring the case, they'd just paint everything. The result is one key MicroATX mainboard screw-hole (the slot-side), and the slot screw-holes, are not threaded correctly. This is completely unacceptable, and the owner has to create their own. It may also be tight for a 9.6x9.6" MicroATX board, and 9.6x9" or even less deep would be better.

Overall Review: Regarding drive mounts, this really confuses most assemblers, but is perfectly normal. I.e., remember, 3.5" and 2.5" drives not only are mounted from the sides, but can be mounted/screw-ed down from underneath. Other than the 5.25" external drive, they do *not* screw-down on the sides. They are screw-ed down from underneath. The means the bottom panel must be removed to mount the either (1) 3.25" or (2) 2.5" drives underneath the 5.25" area. There is also room for (1) 2.5" drive above the power supply, if one removes the cover over the 5.25"/power supply. NOTE: Newegg blocks the word screw-ed without the dash.

Pros: Low price Comes with a power supply Very small size

Cons: A little flimsy Micro-ATX motherboard a tight fit Only 1 SATA power connector Only 1 2.5" drive bay

Overall Review: Overall you get what you pay for and a bit more. $40 for a case and PSU - not bad. Granted its not a great PSU, but for now it's just fine. It's not a top of the line case, but it's not a bad case either. Here's what I wound up doing: This case Gigabyte GA-G97MX Gaming 5 mATX mobo (was DOA from another site and was a very tight fit...too tight if I'm honest.) Switched to Asus H97i Plus mITX mobo (fits great) Core i3 4330 @3.5GHz Gigabyte GV-N75TOC-2GL (Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti) Note that even though this GPU is low profile, I still had to take the face plate off in order to get the GPU into the computer, and reattach the faceplate back on from the outside of the computer...you'd never know I had to do that by looking at it though, everything fits. 8Gb Crucial Ballistix 2x 2.5" SSD Raid 0 (had to mount the 2nd SSD with some industrial strength Velcro..no biggie) I happened to have some Molex to Sata power adapters handy which saved me...do note that there's only 1 SATA power connector with this PSU The case vent holes for the PSU and the PSU's fan don't exactly line up, however I haven't seen this PSU get terribly hot at all despite running games. All said and done what I made is a great, very small gaming PC which sips power (uses maybe 200w at 100% load) and never really gets hot, all thanks to this case.

Pros: The layout is great with plenty of room for components. The size is just right for a HTPC like I used it for. My mATX board fit nicely. Easy to assemble/disassemble for maintenance.

Cons: The power supply only has one SATA power plug and a bunch of 4-pin molex connectors and a Floppy power plug! The main capacitors in the PSU died after 8 months of light use as a HTPC. The PSU fan started making an awful noise after about a year. The only replacement PSU is the same piece of junk. It only came with 3 out of 4 expansion slot covers.

Overall Review: I was able to repair the capacitors myself with high quality Japanese Rubicon units and replace the noisy fan with a Nactua one. Although the fan used a non standard plug so I had to make an adapter to the 4 pin on the new fan. I also ended up rewiring the cables to clean up the mess of adapters I was forced to use while I was in there voiding the warranty. I also added a second Nactua fan to the one of the side grills. Overall the case has good build quality and fits the niche I needed it for. It is just too bad the power supply is so bad and there are no options. It is by all means not a silent case but not bad with some good quality fans installed. I have an Intel Core!3-3220 on a Gygabyte GA-H61M-USB3H with a BR ROM, 1SSD and 1 3.5" HDD.
