Linkworld 431-06 C.2222 Black SECC/SGCC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply

Pros: Lots of room, included all necessary hardware/wires. Metal isn't as thin as people say. Drive covers work flawlessly, every time. PSU works fine and is quiet.

Cons: Doesn't have AS classy of a finish as the G5 case that I was hoping to emulate. But still looks REALLY cool

Overall Review: I almost didn't buy this case because of the poor reviews, but now that I did anyway, I'm willing to say that 1. all those people are *SEVERELY mentally disabled* or 2. they came out with a new and much better Rev

Comments: Well, it definitely wasn't worth the price save, 'cause I'm going to have to buy something else now. The card slots don't allow the cards to line up correctly with my Giga-Byte motherboard. The handles are made of flimsy plastic, which I didn't realise before I made the purchase. The power supply doesn't have a bottom fan, which I don't like because that helps a lot with air flow. I've only had the case for a few months and the rear fan is all ready dying and creating huge amounts of noise. The nifty-looking drive covers are actually totally useless, as the impede the functionality of the open/close button on my DVD-RW. The fact that you can't lock down the indiviual cards and that the case does not come with slot covers is pretty annoying, too. Save your time and buy something else.

Pros: Case look very good at a glance and I love the Mac Pro look.

Cons: Cheap material!! I looked over the reviews before I got this case and I told myself to go ahead and take a chance. When I got the case the box itself looked like it was sitting in some back room for years. When I opened the box and pulled out the tower, the bottom handle of the case was broken!!!! I was making the unboxing video of my new pc and I have it recorded thinking about posting it on youtube. Since the handle is the bottom back handle its no big deal to me, since the case is sitting under my desk and that part can't be seen. Would be nice to get a replacement handle for it.

Pros: I hope they don't stop making this case! If only more cases were made like this one at this price range!

Cons: No case is perfect, but this one is very close.

Overall Review: I purchased many cases in my time and this is the best one I've ran into. Bought about 12 of these so far, had to return one because of a dead power supply. Very satisfied, and I am shocked that it's not getting the reveiws I know it deserves. This case is a good investment.

Pros: Cheap and lots of room on the inside

Cons: Too light and likes to lean to the motherboard side.

Pros: This is a good case for the money and the styling although somewhat Mac influenced is very nice. I have built with other more expensive abit sturdier cases but honestly once the system is finished, it sits on the floor... it does't go on cruises or out on dates. The thickness of the the side panels doesn't matter. I guess others use their cases to stand on or support their cars during oil changes!! Speaking of sitting on floors, I like the fact this case is raised off the floor so no more "dust bunnies" inside! Plenty of room for my 3 hardrives, dual 8800 gt video cards, Soundblaster and custom cooling on vc & cpu. MSI motherboard fit perfectly. Some of the reviews on ths case are just wrong and need correction...i.e IT HAS FRONT USB AND AUDIO PORTS, they are under a hidden door. There is a space for another fan in the front if you pop off the front panel (easy to do with just your fingers). Decent cooling. I'm digging this case and would recommend it for an inexpensive mid tower.

Cons: I didn't use the power supply but it looks and feels cheap (but that can be expected at this price point). Instructions are below average. Some of the side panels edges are exposed so they can cut you if you aren't careful.

Overall Review: Again...I like the look, I like the price point and I think the case is well designed for a inexpensive mid tower. Buy a spray can of clear high gloss and paint the case before installation for that Mac look. Yes...there are front USB and Audio ports!

Pros: Tons of space to work with, Beautiful case for the money, Pretty good power supply, and the fan included moves plenty of air, no problems with anything not lining up, Bigger then you think from the pictures, the front holes are there and really help with airflow, This case looks great under a desk, on top a desk, anywhere! GREAT beginner’s case…

Cons: Ok, yes this case is Cheap Hints the Price! It is thin metal but not as thin as some of the other reviewers make it out to be, most everything in the case is a little fragile, but if your careful and take your time, Everything will fall into place.

Overall Review: Some tips on installing Hardware, the motherboard mount is fragile, So install your hard items first, Processor, Processor heat sink and fan, RAM – Once you have those installed lower the motherboard by your processors heat sink, (Don’t try to lower your MB by the edges its very hard in any case), once in place put in a few screws and start adding other hardware, once everything is hooked up you can finish screwing everything down. Once everything is up and running I can guarantee you will not be happier for the money you spent… Also I got an Acer 19” LCD widescreen that’s black, and has silver buttons - could not be a better fit and the whole system LOOKS GREAT!

Comments: It's definately on the "el-cheapo" end of the spectrum. This can be felt by the paper-thin steel... but an experienced user will have no problems setting this baby up- and it definately looks nice. I've also been running the 500W PSU for a week now, and have had no problems. I'm not a fan of the *bling-bling* cases, but I did put a lighted fan inside mine. It gives it a cool blue glow from the interior. The grid of holes in the front are really there and help to move air- just like the G5. Note on the side duct: it does NOT align with my AMD socket 939 CPU. I guess its meant for another chip, but this isn't a big deal. It looks awesome!
