12-Bay ATX Computer Case with Front Panel LED (Black) Reviews
and to throw away the other one, so today the next one came perfect no damage, thin metal but pretty sturdy. woot. and the great thing is. it looked like it was crushed at the bottom of a stack the box was torn up.
i fixed most of the damage on it and my freind bought it from me for a price of 25 bux he thought it was a good deal and so do i. fan mounts at perfect or as close to perfect position as you can get. very fast delivery came next day. great case if your building on a budget like myself.
free case =] they sent it to me, but there was a bit of shipping damage. so i called them up and they said sorry, theyll send another one free right away.
I bought this based on the price and reviews, but really regret not getting a "real" computer case. Regular tin snips and cable cutters couldn't do it because of the angle. The metal on this thing is so flimsy that the back panel is bowed out, making it difficult for the mother board back connectors to fit properly. Caveat emptor.
This thing was a *real* pain to work inside when connecting cables or installing components. The cheap pinch cut metal actually does leave quite a few sharp edges, and removing the old shield in the back took a dremel tool. Both the power and hdd LED were poorly glued in place, so they came out when i was connecting them to the motherboard. The drive cage is poorly designed; if you plan on using a hard drive, make sure you put it in before you put the motherboard in, or else you are limited in which 3.5" slots you can use.
Do yourself a favor; spend the extra $30 or $40 and buy a ULTRA case. Some of the motherboard standoffs were missing, quite a few of the screws did not fit where they were supposed to because they were misthreaded. This is all i have found so far in the first night of owning in. They are much friendlier.
All sharp edges are rounded. For $17 what would you expect. I did find out that the front panel connector on my motherboard was different than what comes from the front panel and I have no clue which wire goes with what. But that's ok, most motherboards have standard front panel audio connectors anyway. I have an Asus A7A266 which has a proprietary iPanel audio connector. Great for small home closet servers.
The only real gripe I have is that the 3.5 external drive bay cover has a pre-printed "Zip Drive" logo on it. But it is well made. Otherwise not much else. Oh well. The case looks really slick for what it is. No clue as to which wire is which.
The case doesn't come with instructions other than what's printed on the plastic wire leads and what's printed on the audio panel wire lead is just "AUDIO" (which is alright since it's really a stupid simple contraption). Very basic for what I wanted to do which was make two Ubuntu machines from spare parts. I'm thinking of maybe getting a memory card reader in black to get rid of that. But the other motherboard I have which is a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP 1.1 has the standard connection.
Mine did not arrive with a 350 watt PS as the person above stated. After seeing the prices on computer cases, I went with the cheap one, and it will suit my needs just fine. But for $17.95 I cannot complain about this case at all. It has enough room in it for all your needs. Recommend to anyone needing a good case for not too much $.
Only issue I had with it was one of the drive bay covers had a broken mounting tab. After a few E-mails, and a photograph I received a replacement cover so all is well now. Oh, and BTW, Shhh don't say anything but it had a 350 Watt PSU in it which I don't think it was advertised to come with. I got this case for a new computer I was building.
I used the extra PSU to make a computer for my little niece. Whoo hoo. Coz N Fx (ΤΏΤ)
As always AMAZON rocks.
