Athenatech A449SL.400 Silver / Blue Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 400W Power Supply

Pros: Very cost effective case. Plenty of room to get your meat-claws in. Includes p/s and 80mm Fan. Has room for another 80mm fan on the side cover.

Cons: Front speakers and USB ports do not work with my BioStar motherboard. Incompatable pin-outs... Nothing tool-less about this case. Had to remove both side covers to mount drives, etc.

Overall Review: Still, all considering with a 450W p/s, all the room, and included fan. This is a good value case!

Pros: Reasonably solid case, easy installation of components.

Cons: PS officially died after less than a week. Only running MSI 939 MB, AMD 3200, and 1 IDE HD and DVD drive at stock speeds, so I'm not exactly putting a big strain on it.

Overall Review: OK - the 3rd installment to this review. After writing the PS had died, and then mysteriously came back to life, it lasted about 4 more days until it officially kicked the bucket. I got it on sale through New Egg, so at the price I got it I don't feel bad about replacing the PS. If I paid full price for it I'd be a little less forgiving. I am OK with the case, but you may end up using the PS for a doorstop. I replaced it with a Coolermaster that the Egg has on sale and all is well again.

Pros: its a good looking case, a bit flimsy, but does the job

Cons: the power supply is pretty weak, plan on upgrading

Overall Review: newegg is the best

Pros: -Great Value for price -Very large -Lightweight -Comes with Power Supply -Can hold a ton of periphials -Doors conceal the front panel USB, sound jacks, and external 3.5" drive

Cons: -Front bezel a little hard to remove -The door covering the 3.5" drives is bowed out slightly and is not flush with rest of case -Power and reset switch and HDD light very easy to pull out while bezel is off -Power supply only has 1 SATA chain -Sides panels are easy to bend, so be careful when you have the panels off

Overall Review: The pictures don't quite show how the case looks. I thought that the blue stripe on the front was actual metal. It is really a translucent plastic. It still is a great looking case. If you have more than 2 SATA drives you will either have to get a different PSU or a 4 pin to SATA adapter. Time will tell if the PSU will hold out or not, but mine is running steady at +/- .05V for every rail. It is a great deal at 39.99, and considering that I got it when Newegg had it for 19.99 makes it sweeter and worth 6 eggs :)

Pros: The power supply: supports ATX 2.01 and has a 24 pin connector, asus probe shows that the PS puts out pretty close and constant voltage. Decent amount of room, not too bad looking, has flip open doors covering the 3.5" slots on the front and the front usb/audio ports

Cons: The front panel is somewhat difficult to remove and feels like it'll break under too much stress. The power supply could use more molex adapters. The case will dent esily and was dented in shipping.

Pros: Generally well made. Sturdier feeling than many other cheap cases. Not too absurdly 'flashy;' this case has a nice professional apperance. A great value (Very cheap for a reasonably well-made, if no-thrill, product).

Cons: This case has no 'extra' features. It's design is simple, without any conviences such as removable HDD trays, removable motherboard trays, or thumbscrews. The front doors would fall apart with moderate abuse (such as in a school), and the PSU lacks the heft of higher-end units (I wouldn't want to keep a load of more than 350watts on it).

Overall Review: This is really a very nice low-end case. It has a far better quality of construction than other cases with similar price-tags I've used. Just don't expect too much... This is a CHEAP case. Really good cases are great, and I can't say that this case is 'really good.' If you want an awsome case, be prepared to spend 2-6 times this much for a Lian-Li or other high-end, name brand case (keep in mind that a good case is one of the longest lasting investments you can make when building a computer and this isn't necessarily a bad idea). But if your on a tight budget, or just cheap, this is a great choice!

Pros: Cheap!!! and it comes with a PS. Nothing has broken, so I'm happy.

Cons: Power supply runs hot, like really hot. In an airconditioned room with the sides off the case it gets 48C.

Pros: Just wrote a review that the PS had died, but after writing it I went back, unplugged everything and plugged it back in and now it powers up. Odd

Cons: Funky stuff going on with PS
