Very Noisy
1/31/2012 11:09:00 AMJohn from Fort McMurray writes:
- Strengths:
- Very attractive looking, nice size and compact.
- Weaknesses:
- Very loud, after running for a while the power supply makes a very high pitched noise which is unbearable, when using Skype people can hear it. Ventilation is also poor and thje power supply gets hot fast.
- Summary:
- I would not buy this case.
Great for HTPC

- Strengths:
- -small
-comes with power supply
-removable drive caddy makes it a little easier to work inside
-looks decent in my Home theater setup
- four front usb ports - Weaknesses:
- -No instructions (not a big deal for me, but for those that are trying their first build and have not seen the inside of a case before may take a bit to figure it out.
-Partition plate is pretty low, fit the i3-2100 i put in but not the ripjaw memory with the high heat sink
-Power supply is odd ball size (physically, not output), would really recommend the product replacement as those odd power supply's usually cost more than this case. - Summary:
- In the last month that i have had this case i have had no problems(other then the ram not fitting good, slight bulge in the top of case). I would use it again if i needed another HTPC except i would buy lower profile memory modules.
solid choice for mid-level system

- Strengths:
- 4 USB up front, Drive cage easily comes off allowing great access. Looks good.
- Weaknesses:
- Cooling plate does not fit all CPUs. Might be a stretch to plug in case fan to the MB.
- Summary:
- I've worked with a lot of small, value cases and this one holds up. Feels solid, looks good when built and is about as tight or compact as you can go with Mini-ATX. Remember to pick up a quiet 80mm fan for the one available spot, otherwise it will not move air well. If you want more cooling or more anything, get a full size case. This makes a nice, mid level system. Oh, a good value in a vid card right now that fits here is asus eah5450 on for $35!
good

- Strengths:
- very small
fits most cpus and heat sinks
good disign
easy to remove hdd and dvd tray - Weaknesses:
- no instrtions
plastic air drerecting panel dosent fit all cpus
now alot of room for extra crods and short case front pannel conectors
little excess room for fan - Summary:
- i think this is a good case for easy tasks and basic gameing i found it very hard fitting my cpu fan in the hole in the air derector this case is pretty self explanitory if you have done it before if not it could be your worst nightmare.
Great little case!

- Strengths:
- - Looks great
- Small footprint
- Built in PSU
- Removable drive holder, relatively easy to assemble, even without instructions
- Cable managment not awful in a case this size - Weaknesses:
- - Some people may want instructions, but really, all the front panel wiring is labeled. Pretty easy to figure out.
- Summary:
- I really like how this computer turned out. Key point though, if you get this case (which I recommend) be sure to check the motherboard you are putting in. If the front panel connectors for the power/reset switch and activity led's aren't on the side of the motherboard closest to the front of the pc, the wires will NOT reach. Save yourself a trip back to the store and check first. I got a Gigabyte board after the Asus one, and it works great.
Media Center?

- Strengths:
- Detachable HDD/CD/DVD ROM/Floppy caddy
4 Front USB Ports
Easy to assemble - Weaknesses:
- Lacks instructions.
Very tight fit with unused power cables
Poor case fan placement. Right next to the caddy & PSU so very narrow
port to exhaust heat out.
Useless inner tray for AMD/Square CPU cooling fans/radiators.
Hard to remove case fan - Summary:
- I would only recommend this to people who are building a low budget, non-gaming media center platform.
Nice compact case
4/16/2009 2:13:52 AMJack from Calgary writes:
- Strengths:
- - robust, metal
- removable drive bracket at front with solid side levers to lock it in place
- easily removable front panel
- reasonably attractive
- decent 300 W power supply included, seems quiet
- partition plate for CPU fan
- makes a perfect monitor stand (yeah, no more awkward towers!) - Weaknesses:
- - no instructions, not even on mfr. website, so must feel your way around & guess at wire polarities for front panel devices (white = negative)
- no case fan included, so get the "Suscool 81" 80 mm blue fan & you'll be pleased with the very low noise
- front panel USB cables a bit long & bulky
- can't reach inner side of internal drive bay to install bolt
- partition plate is a good idea, yet designed only for round CPU fans, had to carve the plastic to fit square heatsink leaving big gaps - Summary:
- Great for a compact PC using a microATX motherboard, one 3.5" internal hard drive, one 5.25" optical drive, & one 3.5" card reader
Nice Case
