Superb value for money
operating system:
Windows XPI bought this case as the final jigsaw piece for my new pc which I had been putting together for a while now. Have to say that it was worth the wait!
The case itself came in a sturdy white box and was wrapped in polythene. Polystyrene covered both the front and back along with the large fan on the side.
Space inside was pretty good allowing for extra fans (1 x 120mm at front and 2 x 80mm at rear) and a load of hard drives. The 250mm side fan itself is massive and shifts a lot of air over the motherboard and graphics card while at the same time feeding air directly into the path of my CPU fan.
The side fan's speed is adjusted by a small round lever on the outside of the case which alters the speed from 0 to 1350rpm. The internal case wiring is pretty self explanatory and all cables are labelled clearly. To get the front LCD screen working you will need a 3 pin 80mm fan (23880) and after connecting the wires you can then control the speed of both of them together.
There are a few points that I would like to raise with you:
1) No instructions are included and if like me, you are a first time PC builder then it can seem slightly daunting.
2) The screw holes for the DVD and 3.5" drives seem to be slightly out and required a little bit of force to get them to fit. However it wasnt too difficult.
3) The bright LCD screen is actually pretty hard to read unless you look at it straight on. It maybe possible to adjust the bightness but I cant work it out at present.
4) Make sure your CPU cooler fits, I bought an Artic Cooling Alpine 7 Pro and there wasnt much space left due to the huge side fan. I'm not so sure that the Freezer Pro 7 would fit, its even bigger still
5) Only 6 motherboard standoffs are included leaving the board to flex when being fitted. Luckily I had spares to hand from my outgoing Dell PC.
Overall though, its excellent value for money. It looks great with the multi colour fan lights and the side fan keeps my components cool ery quietly. Would definitely recommend!!!

black tower case with lcd
operating system:
Windows VistaGot this case yesterday delivery time was spot on.Great lookin case for the money. Great build quality and a joy to work with. Plenty of room inside to work with. Be aware though if like me you have an arctic cooler 64 pro installed you might find it difficult to put the side back on because of the size of the fan on the side , its huge.
The case is great for airflow combined with the massive fan it takes about 12 degrees of heat out of the case.
Great
operating system:
Windows VistaGreat case. looks 5 star. only prob i had was getting the LCD display to show the fan RPM, but thats jst proberbly me being stupid.
black case
In answer to a few of the coments made about the 3 pin connector. I bought a small case fan for the back of the case this came with a 3 pin connector also and the usual molex connector i plugged it into the 3 pin connector that was left and hey presto the rpm speed now works on the lcd display.
Briliant case and well worth the 25 quid
operating system:
Windows XPReceived this case 5 days late due to Ebuyers blunders but got it in the end.
The case itself is really nice and the front is nice and shiny and comes with a sheet of polythene covering it. The top driver bay screw holes are a bit off so you may have to watch out, but that could just be mine.
The big side fan actually has a speed control but i'm not sure if it works because i can hardly notice a difference between the max speed and the min speed.
The LCD screen at the front is a nice addition to the case and works for the temperature. However i'm still trying to figure out how to use the rest of the features....if it has any.
The nice thing about this case is that both the side are removable or one can be removed. This is good for installing cd drivers, hard drives and etc.
This is, in my opinion, the best case you can get for this amount of money. Great budget case.
4.5 stars out of 5 (loses 0.5 of a star because of the screw holes for the cd drive)
Great case for it's price
As pointed out, the side fan does take up a lot of space, so make sure you don't have a large cpu cooler. And I also have a 3 pin connector which doesn't fit anywhere which is why I probably don't have a fan speed display. I suspect it should fit on the motherboard case fan socket but both are male connections. Any ideas?
A nice case for the money
operating system:
Windows XPA really nice case for the money, the case itself is stylish and the colours of the LEDs and the screen make it look nice too. The large fan on the side helps cooling well and is also very quiet. The only problem I have is that the DVD drive cover button doesnt align perfectly with the DVD drive button, making it jam or keep opening the drive. This is unsuprising though given the many different drive designs. The case inside is spacious and very airy so is good for maintaining temperature and has room for an additional 3 case fans if need be.
Be careful with the side panel fan, it is quite large(about an inch or so thick on the inside of the panel) and so it may be impossible to put the side panel on if you have particularly large components.
In response to the fan control, along with the power plug for the screen there is a three pin connector, connect a three pin fan to this and the LCD will control it.
CD Cover
has anyone got the cd/dvd cover with this one if anyne has are u willing to selling it to me
9600gt=coolermaster hyper 212(or TX-2)
wil this case fit a 9600gt and a
coolermaster hyper 212(or TX-2)
Nice
After a long wait for the returns department to send me a case that wasn't damaged, i finally got it and am very pleased.
The case generally looks very stylish except for the fan which looks a bit cheap (hence the price).
I was also confused by the 'crease' on the front thinking it was a fault at first. On closer inspection it seems to be part of the design and actually looks pretty good.
The fan is pretty loud but unlike my last case it is a more pleasent noise at least.
I understand from another comment that once you connect the 12inch fan up you can get the rpms working. I was wondering though why it doesn't work for the main fan? I also have numbers 1, 2 & 3 flashing for the two fans that are not yet installed. Any ideas? A manual would of helped...
