THERMALTAKE ARMOR MX MID-TOWER CASE (22-07-2008)
Not everyone has the need or desire for a full tower chassis, so Thermaltake took many of the features of the popular Armor case and compressed it all into a very pleasing mid-tower offering. The Armor MX has a lot in common with its big brother including a massive intake fan on the side panel for cooling, ample room for hardware, and solid construction.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE XASER VI VG4000SNA COMPUTER CASE (30-06-2008)
With the Xaser VI, Thermaltake has an aluminum full-tower chassis that will rival the best in it's class. The innovative tool-free features are well executed and make working in this Xaser a real pleasure. Arguably the best feature is the sliding motherboard tray. Or maybe the hard drive mounting solution. What about the densely populated front panel I/O plate? Or the outstanding cooling design? There's a lot of stuff here to like, and I like the vast majority of it.

IN WIN METAL SUIT GD DESIGNER COMPUTER CASE (11-06-2008)
In-Win continues to make a name for themselves by releasing excellent cases like the Metal Suit GD. I was impressed by the build quality – every part of the case was solidly constructed; nothing about it felt “cheap”. It packs in a lot of features like liquid cooling readiness, an internal VGA cooling system, and plenty of drive bays while maintaining a sleek, uncluttered look.
|
 |
GLACIALTECH ALTAIR A380 HTPC CASE (08-04-2008)
This case works well for a basic HTPC build and supports both Micro ATX and full ATX motherboards, but unfortunately there are a few shortcomings that keep it from being a fierce competitor in the case market. The inclusion of a remote, internal card reader and PSU add a lot of convenience but with only 220W of power, hardware must be planned out accordingly.
|
 |
IN WIN B2 STEALTH BOMBER COMPUTER CASE (08-04-2008)
Regardless of whether or not you're a fighter jet enthusiast, In Win's latest offering is worthy of your next system build or simply to replace an old, boring case. It has just about every feature that one would need while maintaining a sleek, non-cluttered look just like the jet it was inspired by. Quite honestly, I can't find any real reason not to highly recommend it.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE SWORDM FULL TOWER CASE (09-01-2008)
Overall, the SwordM is an exciting case to work with. The thick aluminum construction is expertly manufactured and aggressive styling throughout give it a look all its own. The hydraulic-powered top and side panels will surely turn heads, even if their usefulness may be questionable. This chassis comes equipped with just about every feature imaginable and then some, so it can easily be a case that lasts through several more system builds.
|
 |
IN WIN ALLURE DESIGNER COMPUTER CASE (19-12-2007)
There might be those who quickly dismiss this case based on its appearance alone, but I strongly suggest taking a closer look at the finer details the Allure has to offer. The unique, rounded shape and small but sturdy construction allows for easy installation and the inclusion of a rear bezel keeps things looking strikingly clean. The flip-up front door works well and is less intrusive than a swing out door.
|
 |
APEVIA X-JUPITER G-TYPE BLACK COMPUTER CASE (04-12-2007)
This case is a good choice for those who want an attractive, full tower solution with good cooling along with a few useful extras. The aluminum construction keeps the case light so it can be easily transported, and the four included 120mm fans provide plenty of airflow.
|
 |
ZALMAN Z-MACHINE GT1000 HIGH END GAMING ENCLOSURE (07-11-2007)
With the introduction of the Z-Machine GT1000 chassis, Zalman has produced a worthy successor to their earlier Fatal1ty offering. I liked the Fatal1ty a lot; I like the Z-Machine a lot more. The GT1000 is better looking, easier to work in, has more hard drive space and comes in two color options. Cooling performance is just as good, if not better, than the original and the drive mounting solutions are both simple and elegantly executed.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE ARMOR VA8003BWS FULL TOWER ENTHUSIAST CASE (07-11-2007)
Simply put, this case has it all – a roomy interior, five fans, liquid cooling readiness, a front panel and storage drawer that can be relocated and solid construction. The 250mm side panel fan spans a wide area and provides additional cooling directly to the CPU and other motherboard components.
|
 |
IN WIN BK623 MT. JADE DESKTOP MEDIA CASE (05-11-2007)
So what did I think of the Mountain Jade? Aside from some minor problems, I found the case to be easy to build, with solid construction throughout. While certainly not very expandable, it should be a decent performer for a multimedia PC or HTPC. The lack of fans initially left me a little leery of performance, but testing set me straight.
|
 |
ANTEC VERIS FUSION V2 BLACK HTPC COMPUTER CASE (31-10-2007)
Overall, the Fusion is a good choice for a HTPC chassis. The front bezel has a very classy, A/V receiver look that will blend seamlessly amongst other home theater equipment. Having the ability to adjust fan speed is a nice feature since at the lowest setting they are practically silent while still moving enough air to keep the hardware cool.
|
 |
GIGABYTE TRITON 180 COMPUTER CASE (25-10-2007)
For a price of $70 US, it will be difficult to find a better case than the Triton 180. It's solidly built and roomy inside but not so large that it takes up too much desk space. Instead of using windows, lights, or other flashy things Gigabyte went for a nice and sleek, sophisticated appearance without being too plain.
|
 |
MONEUAL LAB 932B BLACK HTPC CASE WITH 7 INCH TOUCHSCREEN (09-10-2007)
Moneual Lab set out to market a high-end HTPC chassis for the discriminating enthusiast and they've got a very promising contender in the MonCaso 932B. This case has it all. The design and build quality is second to none, the software package is excellent and the feature list is very impressive, to say the least. The 932 also cools very well for an HTPC case, and is very quiet.
|
 |
GIGABYTE ISOLO 210 COMPUTER CHASSIS (20-09-2007)
Gigabyte has proven once again they are a fierce competitor in the case market with the iSolo 210. With its mesh side window and sleek, classy look, this case looks great sitting on a desk.
|
 |
COOLERMASTER CM MEDIA 282 HYBRID DESKTOP/HTPC COMPUTER CASE (10-09-2007)
To sum it up, this is quite a versatile case. It can be used to build a HTPC or a full fledged overclocked gaming tower, and converting between the two takes just a matter of minutes. Unlike many HTPC chassis this case supports both the micro and full ATX form factors and there is plenty of room inside for hard drives.
|
 |
XCLIO PROPELLER BLACK COMPUTER CASE W/ 360MM FAN (28-08-2007)
I had high hopes for the Propeller, considering how much I liked XClio's 188A chassis, but it wasn't to be. When considering a budget case, there are some shortcomings one can ignore. The Spartan interior is roomy, but doesn't have many amenities or innovative features. I know how to use a screwdriver; I can deal with that. Especially considering the Propellers low cost. On close examination, it lacks the kind of fit and finish I like to see in a chassis, but for $65 and a 360mm fan, I can live with it.
|
 |
ANTEC P182 PERFORMANCE ONE ELITE COMPUTER CASE (21-08-2007)
With the P182 chassis, Antec has proved that, “If it ain't broke, you can probably still fix it!” They've taken the proven P180 chassis, gotten rid of a few superfluous features, added some very nice convenience and appearance features and kept the quiet cooling performance that made the P180 such a great case. The new look, with its gun-metal gray panels is a big improvement and the cable management features are a welcome improvement over the original.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE WINGRS 101 MID TOWER COMPUTER CASE (16-08-2007)
For a basic computer build, the Wing RS case is a good choice. It has a simple but sleek look and installing drives doesn’t get any easier. The price is right too at around $50 US.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE SHARK ALUMINUM ATX FULL TOWER CASE (10-07-2007)
Thermaltake's Shark chassis has a lot going for it. It's light, stylish, roomy and does cool very well. Features like the removable mobo tray, rail storage scheme, drive installation design and front door treatment make the Shark a pleasure to work in and aesthetically pleasing. It's quiet, sturdy and the interior design is great for wire management, making a neat, tidy installation relatively easy.
|
 |
NEXUS MORPHO PREMIUM ALUMINUM COMPUTER CASE (28-06-2007)
That said, the design team that created this case did an amazing job at making it look good. The cooling in the case would be more than adequate if a blowhole and side panel fans had been included. The all aluminum finish really does stand out but its not enough to warrant the price tag. At an expected price of close to 300 Euro this case could use a lot of work before I would even consider recommending it. No one will want to spend this much on a case only to have to purchase fans and cut a blowhole in it so its safe to use.
|
 |
ULTRA MICROFLY BX6 MICRO ATX CASE W/ 600W XVS POWER SUPPLY (13-06-2007)
The Ultra MicroFly BX6 is one of the nicest cases I've had the chance to work with. The classy good looks, flawless finish, and small footprint will find a home in any home media center setup. Installation of components is relatively painless, with plenty of room for the necessary bits that make up a good media PC.
|
 |
XCLIO 188A GAMING CASE (11-05-2007)
The Xclio 188A is one of the best budget chassis' I've worked with. Not only is this case very classy looking, the cooling is superb and there is plenty of room inside for most systems. The 250mm fan does its job quietly and efficiently and the integrated fan speed controller is a welcome feature.
|
 |
GIGABYTE AURORA 570 BLACK TOWER ATX CASE (24-04-2007)
Gigabyte's 3DAurora 570 chassis is the second-generation offering in this product line and a very worthy successor to the original. With many improvements over its older brother and several new features, the 570 is a high quality case that will make an excellent home for the latest maximum-effort systems an enthusiast might wish to install. It has a distinctive look, great performance and a feature list the likes of which give many chassis manufacturers a thing or two to learn.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE SOPRANO DX COMPUTER CASE (04-04-2007)
Even though there's nothing really cutting edge about it, Thermaltake has a good thing going with the Soprano Dx. The lightweight but sturdy aluminum construction along with two locks makes it practical for transporting a system to a LAN. It has a stylish look with the blue LED bar on the front panel and the included fans are quiet. Another definite plus is no tools are needed for optical, floppy, and expansion card installs.
|
 |
XCLIO A380 SUPER TOWER ATX COMPUTER CASE (28-03-2007)
Xclio's A380 chassis certainly lives up to its “ Super Tower ” nickname. It's a big case with huge fans and lots of room for components. The jet engine look is striking, to say the least, and the large window shows off a few of the interior components not blocked by the 25cm blue LED fan. The size and tool-free features make installation relatively easy and the cable management features make for a tidy install with little effort.
|
 |
ZALMAN HD160XT ULTIMATE HTPC CASE WITH TOUCH SCREEN (19-03-2007)
This product exudes quality in both form and function. I've reviewed many Zalman products in the past and I have to say that I've never been disappointed with Zalman quality. I also have to say that, with the HD160XT, they've really outdone themselves. I've been using this product for over a week now, and it just gets better with each use. Design, functionality, performance, appearance, and ease of use combine to make the XT, well, awesome.
|
 |
ULTRA E-TORQUE BLACK ATX COMPUTER CASE (16-03-2007)
Overall, the eTorque is a decent case for the money, but a few bad marks bring it down from a Top Rank product. The lack of case fans is something to keep in mind if you're looking at this case, the front panel door doesn't have much room for fan controllers, and the top mounted USB/FireWire jacks all take the eTorque down a few notches.
|
 |
IN WIN ALPHA 360 COMPUTER CASE (05-03-2007)
The In Win Alpha 360 mATX case has a lot going for it. Its unique styling features make it one of the best looking small cases on the market today. Innovative features throughout the chassis also make it one of the easiest mATX cases I've ever worked with. Liberal use of plastic allowed the In Win design team to do some very nice things with the 360 and one would have to say that the result is quite impressive, both in appearance and performance.
|
 |
SPIRE SWIRL COMPUTER CASE (20-02-2007)
Overall I have to say that I am very impressed. This case has all the features others in its price range do as well as several that even some high price cases do not. The overall cooling was also admirable. While the styling of the case is fairly utilitarian there is beauty in its simplicity, its not over bright front LEDs should also mean that it would be right at home anywhere in your home or office.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE LANBOX COMPUTER CASE (19-02-2007)
Thermaltake has a real gem in the Lanbox chassis. The design and styling elements join to produce a small, portable case that not only performs very well, but also is relatively easy to work in, given the space limitations. And, it looks as good as it performs. Its sleek, classy look garnered a lot of attention around here, and it's easy to see why. The all aluminum construction keeps the Lanbox light while the modular design keeps it strong.....
|
 |
NZXT ZERO COMPUTER CASE (12-02-2007)
The new Zero case from NZXT has a lot to recommend it. It's a cooling monster without the growls and roars you'd expect from eight case fans. It has a sleek, classic look that doesn't appear to have been inspired by an Anime episode. The Zero will hold plenty of drives and the tool-free features are well designed and executed.
|
 |
IN WIN F430 XTREME SERIES ATX COMPUTER CASE (05-02-2007)
You've got to hand it to In Win. It takes a lot of guts to design and market a computer chassis with such close association to an automotive legend like the Ferarri F430. With their F430 case, though, In Win seems to have pulled it off rather well. The immaculate finish, innovative design elements, single-fan cooling, and racecar sounds all contribute to make the F430 a high-performance and stylish case with that little something extra that sets it apart from the crowd.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE SOPRANO VX COMPUTER CASE (28-11-2006)
The Thermaltake Soprano VX is a computer chassis with some style and panache that some people may find appealing. Personally, I like the look of the case. I like the front panel I/O treatment, too. While the finish doesn't quite live up to the hype, it's not bad either.
|
 |
ANTEC NINE HUNDRED ULTIMATE GAMER'S CASE (13-11-2006)
So, does the Nine Hundred live up to all the hype? Is it, as Antec touts, the “Ultimate Gamer Case?” If cooling and configuration options are the benchmarks we're looking at, it just may be. With four case fans included (three 120's and a massive 200mm top fan) and a distinctive look incorporating a chevron side window and mesh front, the Nine Hundred brings a lot to the table in both performance and aesthetics.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE KANDALF LCS LIQUID COOLED CASE (02-11-2006)
ThermalTake took one of the best cases on the market, and only upgraded it with a component that made a difference. The liquid cooling system included with the Kandalf LCS proves to be a great performer, while not adding too much complexity.
|
 |
ANTEC FUSION MEDIA CENTER CASE (18-10-2006)
Antec once again has delivered a knockout product, and one that I'm very pleased with. Sure, there's a few little problems here and there, but nothing that diminishes the overall design of the case.While the insides are tight, there's room for everything a small media center will need, and everything fits properly, without any fiddling.
|
 |
ZALMAN FATAL1TY FC-ZE1 COMPUTER CASE (16-10-2006)
Zalman's association with Johnathan “Fatal1ty” Wendel has yielded yet another outstanding product. The FC-ZE1 Champion Series computer enclosure is a superb chassis with great aesthetics and the performance to back it up. The design, quality, craftsmanship and materials brought to bear in the creation of this chassis are second to none and culminate in a product that is, in my opinion, without peer. The design elements in combination with a rich, innovative feature set make installation a breeze and allow the case to exhibit great cooling performance while keeping noise to a minimum.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE MOZART TX VE1000SWA ALUMINUM ENTERTAINMENT CENTER CHASSIS (18-09-2006)
So, is the Mozart Tx “The Ideal Home Entertainment Center”? It easily could be. It could also be so much more. With an impressive feature set and an even more impressive list of available options, the Thermaltake has a real winner on their hands. Priced at around $250 US, the Mozart Tx ain't cheap, but considering what it delivers and its potential, I'd consider it a good value.
|
 |
SANSUN GALAXY ATX/BTX BLACK COMPUTER CASE (27-07-2006)
Based on the success of the Bat case they released earlier this year, Sansun has jumped headlong into the gaming case fray, with the newly introduced Galaxy case. Sporting eight 5.25” bays and an innovative cooling system, the Galaxy is intended to be a gamers joy.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE ARMOR JR. ALUMINUM COMPUTER CASE (20-06-2006)
With the addition of the Armor Jr., Thermaltake continues an impressive track record of marketing innovative computer cases with excellent features and outstanding performance. A sleek look, large side window and superb cooling performance only add to its appeal. Add configuration flexibility into the mix, and I think you'll agree that the Armor Jr. is a very nice case, indeed.
|
 |
ISTARUSA STORM S8 BLACK COMPUTER CASE (06-06-2006)
I'm quite honestly impressed with the the S8. For a low-priced case, iStar has included a lot of bang for the buck, including some features much more expensive cases skimp out on. Tool-free drive bays all the way around, a solid expansion card retaining slot, and great cooling all make for a case that's easy to live with. The S8's clean, discreet looks make it as easy on the eyes as it is on the hands.
|
 |
ZALMAN HD160 HTPC HOME THEATER PC CASE (02-06-2006)
In typical Zalman fashion, the HD160 HTPC case comes to the market with impressive design elements, a rich feature set, outstanding materials and build quality, and the best cooling performance I've seen in this type of chassis. More importantly for a niche product like this, the HD160 can do its job in virtual silence.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE SWING VB6000SNS ATX COMPUTER CASE (15-12-2005)
For a mid-tower case competing in the mainstream market, this is an incredibly solid release. Packed into the small frame of the Swing case we're able to find enough room for everything and more, and virtually all the features of a full tower in a space that doesn't seem cramped. If the interior of the case is a solid point, the exterior of the Swing case is a top notch accomplishment as well.
|
 |
MGE XGBOX DRAGON ELITE ALUMINUM ATX GAMING CASE (12-12-2005)
I have to applaud XG for their Dragon chassis. It is always a gamble to market a product with styling as over-the-top as this. While I've seen other manufacturers wrap an outdated, mediocre chassis in some superficial bling to milk some more dollars out of it, MGE has used a new chassis design with nice features and aluminum construction to bring a quality product to the marketplace.
|
 |
ANTEC P160 P160W ALUMINUM ATX MID TOWER COMPUTER CASE (17-11-2005)
The design and execution of the P160W, while not perfect, is very impressive indeed. It's quiet and has very good cooling potential. With the exception of the drive rail issue and the rather fussy stealth cover buttons, the case was a pleasure to work with. I particularly like the design of the HDD drive trays, the motherboard tray and the control panel.
|
 |
ANTEC SUPER LANBOY ALUMINUM ATX COMPUTER CASE (15-11-2005)
With the name like Antec behind this case, I had pretty high expectations. Now I can see why this case sells so well. It has the perfect recipe for the perfect purchase like affordability, being lightweight, and last but not least important it is well constructed. Antec has clearly thought of you the consumer when designing this case. For a MRSP of about $75 I think this case is a great buy.
|
 |
RAIDMAX NINJA 918 SILVER ATX COMPUTER CASE (31-10-2005)
Today we're looking at one of those options, the Raidmax Ninja 918 ATX case . This case was built for gaming, and offers a number of features that you'd generally see in a higher performance case. However, when it comes to top-notch gaming products, I'm a fairly demanding person, and most of us are - we want the fastest, the coolest, the most moddable. Can the Raidmax hold a candle to our list of desires? Only one way to find out, so lets take a closer look.
|
 |
ANTEC P180 ADVANCED SUPER MID TOWER COMPUTER CASE (24-10-2005)
With the recent introduction of the P-180 chassis, the latest in their Performance One series, Antec has made an attempt to address both the cooling problem and the noise issue. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a PC enthusiast who hasn't heard of, much less owned any Antec products.
|
 |
MGE XG NINJA 2 COMPUTER CASE (06-10-2005)
If you're looking for a case that has some bling but doesn't cost a lot of bucks, follow along with me as I take a look at the new Ninja 2 chassis from XG. A subsidiary of the well-established MGE Company, XG markets higher-end cases and power supplies to the gaming community.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE TENOR DESIGNER HOME THEATER ATX COMPUTER CASE (25-08-2005)
The Thermaltake Tenor chassis has a lot of features that would make it a good choice for a HTPC build. It's a good-looking case with plenty of room for a full-sized ATX motherboard and PSU. Drive space is also plentiful and a great overall design made for a quick and trouble-free installation.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE THERMALROCK ECLIPSE ATX COMPUTER CASE (10-08-2005)
The Eclipse has proven to be an excellent chassis. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, and this case has a lot to behold. The combination of both bold and subtle styling elements gives the Eclipse a unique look and a burley stance....
|
 |
ASPIRE X-CRUISER BLUE GAMING COMPUTER CASE (25-07-2005)
Let's face it; the first thing you notice about a computer case is its appearance. The problem with evaluating a product's appearance is that appearance is very subjective. What one person may find attractive, another may not. So here's my impression of the X-Cruiser. Aesthetically, Aspire has done a great job with the X-Cruiser. While I'm not a big fan of cases with doors, I really like this case.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE SVIKING BA400BWS BLACK COMPUTER CASE (29-05-2005)
The Thermaltake SViking series is a good buy, with a few exceptions. The sharp edges were kept to a bare minimum and for the most part the metal was rolled nice and neatly. The case offers a lot of room for optical and hard drives . The cases airflow is designed well, but mark my words, you won't be able to take the full speed setting for long.
|
 |
ASPIRE X-QPACK-AL/420 BLACK/SILVER ALUMINUM MICROATX COMPUTER CASE (16-05-2004)
Did I mention that I like big cases? Well, I do. I also like the Aspire X-QPACK. It looks good without sacrificing functionality. It's compact, yet offers room for two 5.25 inch drives, two hard drives and a floppy. It's lightweight, but still quite sturdy.
|
 |
RAIDMAX VIRGO 811 BLACK COMPUTER CASE (04-05-2004)
I was really surprised at the quality of this case. There were only a few sharp edges where the metal was unfinished. For the most part, all the metal was rolled and it was very easy to work inside. There is lots of room for hard drives and optical drives . This case has excellent airflow.
|
 |
THERMALTAKE KANDALF VA9000SWA SILVER ALUMINUM COMPUTER CASE (25-04-2004)
Thermaltake calls its new Kandalf case “The Super Tower” and with good reason. Not only is it super sized, it has tons of super features that really set it apart from the crowd. I really can't say enough good things about the Kandalf. While the $200 price tag may put it out of reach for some, Thermaltake gives the buyer that can afford it lots and lots...
|
 |
THERMALTAKE THERMALROCK CIRCLE SILVER ATX COMPUTER CASE (22-02-2005)
Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder. That is certainly true when it comes to computer case design. When the Circle showed up at my house I was less than ecstatic with its appearance, but over the week or so that I've had it around, I must confess that it's grown on me. Love it or hate it, you have to admit that ThermalRock's Circle chassis has.... |
 |
ATHENATECH A605 MID ATX COMPUTER CASE (15-12-2004)
The Athenatech A605 has a lot of competition in its $50 price range. While none of its features put it head and shoulders above its rivals, I feel it is a good buy. With the addition of another fan and a motherboard tray it would have been a great buy. |
 |
COOLERMASTER CAV-T01 CAVALIER 1 DESIGNER COMPUTER CASE (01-11-2004)
Today I will introducing the CoolerMaster Cavalier 1 Designer Computer Case which rides the knife's edge between the two fields as an attractive alternative for the mainstream user, but also would be an excellent case for an gamer as well. |
 |
CLEARPC "SECRET AGENT" CLEAR ACRYLIC BRIEFCASE ENCLOSURE (20-05-2004)
Well, I went in slightly skeptical, not wanting to be disappointed, and I was blown away. This case is fantastic. I've left it running for hours, checking on it periodically to see what the temperature inside the case is, and it always remained cool. Even the acrylic felt cool to the touch. This design is superb. |
 |
FOXCONN CASEDGE DIABOLIC MINOTAUR DESIGNER COMPUTER CASE (22-04-2004)
What a case. Honestly. She's a big old heavy bugger, but she's beautiful. There is a ton of space in it for devices and HDDs, and the side-facing HDD rack is very innovative (not to mention convenient). The tool-less design makes for easy setup and reconfiguration, and the included PSU and 120mm are fantastic additions. |
 |
CASE4U MONA DESIGNER ATX MID-TOWER COMPUTER CASE (19-03-2004)
The Mona case from Case 4u is the lazy modder's dream: It requires no hard work to improve its appearance and can have lights and fans added without drilling or cutting to put in a window or fan opening. While the case requires nothing extra to make it look great, there is room for additions which makes the case a viable option for advanced modders as well. |
 |
ATHENATECH A106 DESIGNER MICRO-ATX CASE WITH LED DISPLAY (28-01-2004)
Finally, the LCD, fan speed control and temperature monitor are fantastic additions to this line of cases. This means you can easily keep a close eye on the system and ensure none of the components overheat. Plus, it is incredibly stylish. All in all, I am very impressed with this case. There are lots of possibilities when it comes to usability and for the money. |
 |
LIAN LI PC-6077 BLACK ALUMINUM MID-ATX CASE (14-12-2003)
Lian Li's latest aluminum case series takes care of any possible fault I have found in any previous versions. With the inclusion of the top blowhole and additional rear exhaust, this case would be a great option for the overclocker or a conventional computer user that wants a cool running system. |
 |
ATHENATECH A100SC MICRO-ATX DESIGNER COMPUTER CASE (03-12-2003)
For the price, this is an excellent flex ATX/micro ATX case. The sleek front with the hidden devices allows you to use it in your home theater. The 60mm fans would ensure a quiet entertainment box. All that would be required is a graphics card capable of supporting a good video out stream, such as the ATI Radeon All In Wonder 9800 Pro. |
 |
AEROCOOL LUBIC P3519 CUSTOMIZABLE COMPUTER CASE KIT (15-11-2003)
I am actually looking forward to working on another project with this case. If you sketch out exactly what you intend to build, then you will be able to make excellent diagrams which will prevent a lot of the frustration which I experienced putting this case together. |
 |
XPCASES.COM BLACK X-DREAMER COMPUTER CASE (15-10-2003)
As you can very well make out, I am impressed with this case. It's packed with useful practical and aesthetic features and is has a great price tag. Costing a mere US$54.88 and even having an included power supply to boot launches this case up to my top choice and I have actually claimed this case to be the next candidate for my own computer system. |
 |
ATHENATECH A747CS DESIGNER COMPUTER CASE (16-09-2003)
For a mere US$50-$60 getting a decent looking case with an included quality power supply is nothing to sneeze at. Add in the features like the tool-less side panel, tool-less optical and Hard drive installation and easily accessible multimedia ports and you have yourself quite a deal. |
 |
LIAN LI PC-60H3 MID-TOWER DESIGNER ALUMINUM CASE (11-09-2003)
There is no doubt in my mind after reviewing the PC-60H3 that Lian Li is still one of the premier if not the best computer case manufacturers in the aluminum case market today. Not only did they have a major part in bringing high quality aluminum cases to the mainstream market, but they have no plans on sacrificing quality for quantity anytime in the future. |
 |
CASE4U EOS MINI-ITX / MICRO-ATX CASE (10-09-2003)
For a small inexpensive case, the EOS does have some value. The case is well built (although heavy), attractive and wouldn't be a bad choice for an inexpensive small workstation, HTPC or a file server. The questionable inclusion of the Anion Air Purifier is a good idea, but I really think that it could be removed and the money placed in other parts of the case. |

ENERMAX X-POINT CS-528 COMPUTER CASE(17-07-2003)
For the price of ~US$65, you really can't ask for more. It includes a 300 watt power supply, it has a removable motherboard tray, and best of all, it has a side window. Until now, I only thought these characteristics were housed in cases that were valued in the US$100 and up price-point. |

TURBOCASE X-SONIC BLACK ALUMINUM CASE (27-04-2003)
You just can't ask for more value for US$89.99. Let's add it up. You have a black, aluminum, windowed case that has a removable harddrive rack, an included 350watt power supply, easy optical drive installation, two included tri-LED fans and front USB ports for under $100. I think that is the dictionary definition for VALUE. |

CLEARPC ACRYLIC MICRO-ATX COMPUTER CASE (10-03-2003)
If you are in the market for an eye-candy case, this is the one. People always brag about having a window in the side of their case... What about having a case that is a window? |

ANTEC PERFORMANCE PLUSVIEW 1000AMG QUICK REVIEW (12-01-2003)
This review will be a quickie as I already had the chance to review the Antec Performance Plus 1080 AMG and this model differs little. The difference however is interesting as it pays attention to a new trend and popular one as well. Modding your case has become a trend with computer owners and many manufacturers are adjusting their product-line to meet those needs. |

ANTEC PERFORMANCE PLUS 1080 AMG COMPUTER CASE (28-09-2002)
It looks sleek, Has the right colour, Is roomy, Keeps cool, Is silent. I will show that the case can do all of that and much more. How's that for an introduction? When I first spoke to Antec about doing a review on this case I pointed out that a lot of people said I coudn't keep my SCSI drives cool and that no case was able fit all of my junk. I disagreed and so did Antec Inc. |

EXOTICPC AHANIX PLATINUM XP DESSIGNER COMPUTER CASE (14-08-2002)
Ah, the computer case. The barometer of the computer enthusiast. Is he/she a geek, a "l33t" user?, or a normal user with a flare for the different? Well, today I have a great looking case that would be a great upgrade for the normal computer user. Adequate cooling, internal temperature probe, lots of expansion space, stylish looks, and internal drive bay covers make this a great deal!! |

KINGWIN KT-436BK BLACK ALUMINUM-MAGNESIUM ALLOY CASE (27-07-2002)
Want a aluminum case? What to save a couple of bucks? Don't need a window? Well, I would have to say that this would be a safe and intelligent purchase. For approximately $30 dollars less than the equivalent competition, you get sturdy aluminum-alloy lightweight construction, 150cfm's of airflow, removable motherboard tray, all black finish, gold trim and completely toolless entry. |

LIAN-LI PC-86 BLACK ALUMINUM CASE (23-05-2002)
The newest craze, the aluminum PC case, has swept the computer market like a storm. Everyone is praising the quality, the lightness and the lovely finish these cases have brought to the lucky purchaser's workstation. Shining in the forefront is the king and overall leader of this niche market, the Lian-Li. I am amazed as to how many models, sizes and colours comprise the Lian-Li aluminum case lineup. |

XOXIDE ENLIGHT BREEZE PPREMODIFIED CASE (21-05-2002)
I myself am an avid case-modder and love to tinker with my case to make it a little more heat efficient and better looking. But, I have to let you know, it was nice to have a "turn-key" approach to a nice case. No work, No cutting, No mess and great looks make for a no-brainer decision. The beast has been released onto the net. |
