what??? No graphs??????
Good review. Its nice to see a moderately priced case/PSU combo that performs reasonably and doesn't look like a character from a japanese anime cartoon.
......now that that's out of the way, are you planning on doing any mod's aside from better fans?

^^ What he said^^
Although, a few pictures of how the case was packaged would be nice 
having the option to install a variety of fan sizes is a nice feature.

I may stealth the optical drive, but other than that, the case looks and works great. With the addition of the front fan, cooling really improved. |

Hey, I don't get much mail and was overcome with excitement. Before I knew what was happening all that was left were scattered remnants of packaging materials. Next time I'll try to curb my enthusiasm till I get some shots.
Thanks for the comment, Ham. |

|

mojo,
Good review. I also like the Athenatech A100, A747 and A800 series of cases - I have an A100-SC here.. I have sent this direct to the reviewer via email as well.
FYI: The Power Q line of PSUs is a Fortron budget line. I have heard nothing bad about them and I frequent many techie forums.

We only mention packaging when it is substandard.

Yes, I just found that out. Around $30 usd. May be a bit better than I thought.
Time will tell. |

Fortron, Sparkle are pretty much the same... Fortron calls their version the Hi Q, Sparkle calls theirs Power Q - same model numbers ATX-??0G? just as in the top line FSP series.

Ummmmm...........OK. So what is your point? No matter who makes the power supply or what you personally think about the quality, I'll stand by what I said in the review.
As I said above, thanks for the info, even if it was incorrect. I evaluated it and now know more than I did. I don't see how it changes things much, however. |

Seeing the name of this site is TweakNEWS, news is just as important as the reviews in my mind.
Everything is equal, without any part the site will be weakened.
