Customer Reviews
Excellent Case!!!
I must say I read the first reviewer's notes about this case prior to buying it and I was a bit concerned about the quality. I don't know what exactly one should expect for the quality of a computer case, but I'm very impressed after seeing it. Yes the case is heavier that the cheap cases we see everywhere. I think this is pretty normal because it's a full tower and it has a big metal skelaton. I agree that this might not be the perfect fit for a gamer who goes to LAN parties all the time.
If you need a cool looking case and you want to fit in many devices while keeping the temperature low, this is the case for you. I put in a power supply, the motherboard, 5 hard drives, 1 cd writer, 1 floppy and 3 fans (2 is included with the case). None of them is getting in the way of the other. The air circulation inside is much better than a normal computer case...
Great case for the money and a normal person
I disagree with the reviewer who only rated this three stars. I have had this case for a few months now and I love it. I also bought it here because of the price. It is very roomy inside the case and very easy to work in. Also, I like the fact that it pre-modded with a window, and the silver color is attractive. Also it's not THAT easy to dent. Through normal use there will be no damage to the case. I move it around quite a bit also with no problems other than the weight...my doors match perfectly to the metal. The keyhole style is the same keyhole style on millions of other cases, cheap and expensive. What is the problem with it?
The only thing wrong with this is the weight - it weighs almost as much as my ViewSonic 21" monitor. I'm going to add a case handle for easier handling. However, I wouldn't recommend it to people who go to lan parties because of the weight. Also, why would you want a server case for a lan party anyway? That is what the smaller cases are for.
Overall, I love the case. If someone gets to the point of worrying about the plastic not being the same Pantone color as the metal (which it is the same color) and worrying about the way the keyhole looks, then it is time to forget about off-the-shelf models and mod one to your specs. That's what Ace Hardware and Lowe's are for right?
well built, Spacious case
Well built case, with removable trays in the 5.25 inch bays, removable internal hard drive bracket. This case definitely needs a built in cable management solution The front access USB/Firewire port broke within about 2 months, it fell inside between the case chassis and the front plate cover. the front plate cover does not come off very easy and is a hassle to take off. I don't know if i would recommend this case, i believe there are better cases out there right now
