Conclusion


Please click on thumbnails to get bigger pictures

We tried installing a motherboard with a big Thermaltake cooler on it to see how it would look like sizewise. We can clearly see that on the top there will not be to much space between the motherboard and the PSU. Heat wise it won’t be a problem as you have such good circulation in the case with the intake and exhaust fans included. Spacewise it might turn into a problem if you want to run a waterblock or a big big heatsinks.

In action:

I got some movie clips on the front in action. There are two different sequences which are both 1.5 mb big so even modem users should not have a problem downloading these. You will need some kind of movie viewer to watch these clips, Quicktime for example should do the trick.

Conclusion:

This is a great case overall. The only thing I am missing is a removable motherboard tray. It has some nice features such as screwless drive installation rounded corners, flashing front, and a great looking plexi window. I know modders won’t approve of this case since it’s premodded but this suits everyone that wants a great case that looks nice which you will not have to mod yourself. Price-wise it’s very nice and we found this for $69,99 USD @ Tigerdirect. This is not alot of money for a case this nice. Overall we give this 4 out of 5 for a cool case that is low in price and offers really great features.

Pros:

+ Very nice looking
+ Cool flashing front
+ Alot of fans included
+ Manual
+ Cheap

Cons:

- No removable motherboard tray
- Not the quietest fans :)

Red&Blackness gives it 4 out of 5 dots
