LinkWorld has created a case to have room for all you need without paying a fortune to do it. The Model 3230-02C2222U is, to all appearances, a no frills computer. It has an elegant, clean look that will be unobtrusive on anyone's desk. The two 5.25" and two 3.5" external drive bays are an obvious plus, but both expected and needed in today's world. As the adage goes, looks can be deceiving. Take a look inside.
The vents along both sides to let in cool air might be missed to a casual glance, and who would notice the duct giving the CPU fan a place to put the hot air. The rear 90mm fan will have little trouble keeping the temperature in check. The combination of all these discrete features are a great benefit to keeping your system cook in the hottest situations
The forward USB ports are both hidden and protected at the bottom. And then you get to the brains of the operation: An amazing five 3.5" internal hard drive slots. If you want more for your money, this is the way to go.

Overall Review: When I first saw this case, I knew it would be great for my hackintosh project. However, I was a bit concerned with the bad reviews and complaints of cheap quality. I won't lie, this case is made of cheap components and is poorly constructed. Yet, it still looks great, cosmetically. With care, one should have no problems with this case. If you treat this case like a child would on Christmas morning, expect it to break. I was careful during the entire installation process (knowing it was of poor quality) and I had no problems. Buy this case, handle with care, and enjoy it!
