NZXT Zero CS-NT-ZERO Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case (Black/Silver) Review

NZXT Zero CS-NT-ZERO Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Average Reviews:

Great case. EIGHT fans, setup for SLI, I have an EVGA mobo a quad core cpu a huge Zalman cooler and it runs ice cold. The front fan is right in front of the hard drive bays. The space for the power source is up above everything and out of the way. I did have to loosen the fan located on the top of the case to install the power supply, but this took an extra two minutes and the fan went right back in easily. I was concerned that the zalman cooler would hit the four fans located on the side panel, but no problem there. Lots of room in this baby!

SilverStone FT01B-W Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Uni-Body Computer Case with Window Side Panel - Retail (Black) Review

SilverStone FT01B-W Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Uni-Body Computer Case with Window Side Panel - Retail
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me start by saying this is an awesome mid-sized tower computer case. However, there are a few flaws. I'm gonna keep it short but sweet:

Pros: Plenty, I won't go into details, but here's a quick list: Compact, easy to assemble/use, outstanding airflow capabilities, positive airflow, dust shields, heat absorption material on the side panels, as well as the clear side panels so you can keep an eye on your water coolers (if applicable), plenty of rom bays and well as 7 hard drive bays!

Cons (hoping SilverStone will read it and make the corrections on future models):

- A little tight, if you're an overclocker, and size is not an issue, I hear there's a full size version of the Fortress available. Look for it. I could have used a little more space, but it was sufficient for what I needed it for. Not really Silverstone's fault, but my fault for not looking to see if there's a larger size. Just letting you other guys know in case you're thinking of which size to go with. If size is not an issue, go with the bigger one. But this one still rocks!

- CP05 hot swapable SATA 2 adapters. One came with the case, but just as a teaser. I didn't care much for it because I did not need hot swapable drives, but when it came to cable management to make the cables in the back neat, it became a nightmare without these things. I kinda wish I had 5 more for all 6 drives. Went online to search for it and they do sell them, however the ones on the market now are straight connectors and not the 90 degree angled one that came with the case. What a tease! I called Silverstone and they said they don't have nor do they make one that came with the case. Bummer!

- Hard drive brackets not tool-less! "Why, oh why?!? They could have come up with a better design for this!" -- my exact thoughts while I was putting in the 24 screws (4 for each of my drives) for my 6 drive setup.

- 5.25 drive bays, quick lock/release mechanism, nice! But the contruction needed work. It didn't line up correctly with a 3rd party fan control unit, so I had to switch it out and use their brand. Also, their instructions didn't mention the locking hooks on the back side, so I was fumbling with it for a little bit till I figured it out.

Overall, awesome product and I still give it 5 stars. Just wish the little stuff mentioned above were done better. Hope this helps someone. And if anyone knows where to get the CP05 with the 90 degree connector, like the one that came with the case, please let me know!!!! Share!

Product Description:
More than two years after the introduction of the world's first uni-body PC chassis, the SilverStone Temjin TJ07, a new product line was created to extend this unique construction further into other applications. The first model for this line is the Fortress FT01, which sports the same super strong uni-body frame as its predecessor but with even more sleeker profile thanks to its smaller size. Designed with positive air pressure concept, it enables better cooling performance than traditional chassis but also helps to prevent dust from penetrating into the chassis by use of filters on intake fans and forcing air out of the chassis through unfiltered vents and gaps. Comprised of modern touches such as quick release drive cages and dual 180mm fans, this case is easily the top choice for anyone looking to assemble a top of the line midsize system.

I purchased this case for my office --- yes, for my office. It runs an AMD XP 2600+ and a ATI Radeon 9200+ video card, one DVD+/-RW drive, with an ASUS motherboard and two 80G harddrive. Yeah, the total power is limited so that they do not exceed the 350W.
The good:
1. It is very very quiet, almost dead silent, with very little air blow out of power supply actually.
2. Two front USBs.
3. Not quite big in dimension but enough room inside.
4. Quality power supply. I used this case for more than a year and did not hear any degradation (say, increasing of noise). The power supply worths $55+shipping itself. At $80 I purchased for both case and power supply, it is very good value.
The bad:
1. Lack of front earphone jack.
2. If you are targeting of new video card (6800 ultra or 7800 GTX) or running 6 hard drives, the power supply may not provide enough power.

Ultra ULT31584 Wizard ATX Mid-Tower PC Case (Blue) Review

Ultra ULT31584 Wizard ATX Mid-Tower PC Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you can get this case for a good price, this is a simple but good computer case. As you can see, the front of the case offers a clean design with the case door closes which is a plus in my opinion. The blue color looks black in my apt. There is also a front slot that can be open and close that contains usb and firewire ports. The side vent for the cpu's heat dissipation is useful, although it is not particularly attractive; it also make for a nosier computer.The lower rating is for the fact that the hinge for the case front door is easily broken. It is made of plastic; regular use especially with force will break it. I was able to repair it, but I will open it with care.

Average Reviews:

The case is great.It has a lot of nice details such as rubber pads to absorb vibration and a mounting system for hard drives that isolates them on soft bushings to minimize drive noise.Ventalation

The power supplu is mounted upside down in a separate compartment from the motherboard.There is an extension for the 24 pin power cable, but the P4 cable might be a problem.I would buy a p4 cable extension or Molex to p4 cable with this case, unless you are sure that your cables will reach.

The VFD loks kind of cheap and the remote looks and feels cheap.The Soundgraph iMon software that drives it is limited.I would consider buying the non-VFD version and a different VFD.

Ultra ULT33117 MicroFly MicroATX Desktop PC Case with Clear Side (Black) Review

Ultra ULT33117 MicroFly MicroATX Desktop PC Case with Clear Side
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Firstly, I should say that I purchased this case to build a PC that I wanted to fit into a shelf that's only 13 1/2" high - this case fits without any issue, which is the number one reason I love it.

It's quiet, despite its exceptional air movement and cooling, and is quite attractive.

However....

Cable management, as you might imagine, is quite difficult - however, it's not just due to the confined space in which you're working - for some reason, manufacturers are trying to save pennies by putting front I/O cables in with cables that are barely long enough to support proper use - this case has a slide-out motherboard tray, but if you try to slide it even halfway (with most motherboards) the front USB and front audio cables do not reach - therefore, you MUST connect those cables once the motherboard and tray are installed, and that can be tough in this tiny box.

The only other 'complaint' I have is that with just over 66mm of clearance (on my Athlon 64 board, but presumably close if not the same with Intel) I had a slightly difficult time finding a good CPU cooler that would fit.I couldn't imagine any way to install it with the motherboard tray IN the case, so it must be done prior to installing the tray.I used a ThermalTake BlueOrb II, but even with that, I had to use my Dremel to cut out a filleted corner of the main frame to get this relatively low-profile cooler to slide in (the BlueOrb is squat, but fairly large in diameter).

The long and the short is, knowing what I know now, the case is great...but it would have been great to have information like that which I HOPE I provided in this review before I made my purchase - not that I'd ever think of changing my mind, but because it would have saved me about $30 in parts I cannot use, and about 2 weeks of time waiting for replacement parts to arrive.All in all, great product!!!

ICY DOCK MB663UB-1S-1 2.5" SATA I & II Ultra thin external hard drive enclosure with Built-in USB 2.0 Bus power cable Review

Average Reviews:

This product is OK.It seems to work fine, but it is just too big IMHO, and it also has a couple quirks.

The good part is that it has its own usb cable built in, which stores in a slot in the back of the enclosure.The bad part is, the "key" that you use to push the drive out if you remove it is just really cheap, and won't store properly in the unit.You'll have to keep it on a keychain or something if you want it nearby, which is impractical.The key is thin, somewhat sharp metal, so it could also scratch stuff if you aren't careful.So, the key is essentially worthless.The enclosure does not feel extremely well-built or well-designed, despite its cast-aluminum enclosure.Plastic pieces wiggle a little.

All in all, this case is so big you'd be tons better if you could manage with a large-capacity flash drive.I also own some cheap HDD enclosures which are smaller and work just as good for about $6, and the Eaglebit Writebox which is more $ but amazingly well-built.

This is a good case, but i suggest that you buy your own power supply prior to this. I reccomend that this is for UPGRADE ONLY. I have added it on to something that I have had prior to this, and I do not suggest anyone do it any other way than what i did. This case is VERY nice looking, it stuns me and makes my friends all jealous. It is good for the hard-core/recreational gamer and comes with several case fans that run smoothly and quietly.It is also very sturdy and protects your investment, which is what you want considering you put several hundreds of dollars into making your computer. I fully reccomend this to any of my friend, and anyone who cares about how their computer looks, a good case is a neccessity to all gamers. All in all, this is a good product, but just make sure that you have another power supply.

I have SFF21E and SFF21F, one in front as intake and another in the back as exhaust. Both fans are high quality and run very quietly. The back one runs at ~1000 RPM due to the speed control on my motherboard but it still generates quite a bit of air flow. I'm very happy with this product.

Wave Master Aluminum Midtower Case TAC-T01 Review

Wave Master Aluminum Midtower Case TAC-T01
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been having this casing (the Black Wavemaster) for about a year now, I think it is one of the best looking PC cases available. The aluminum construction allows for better heat transfer and weight reduction. The black casing comes with the side panels painted with high gloss auto paint, looks very nice. The front air intake has two 80mm fans attached and the air inlet on the outside is hidden with the use of a very stylish piece of aluminum placed in front of it, which also reflects the blue LED light cast from behind it onto the case. The casing comes with a sturdy aluminum door used to cover the drive bays. I have found that opening and closing the door to be a bit of a hassle so I leave it open most of the time. But the door does look nice when it is closed hiding all the drives and giving the unit a nice clean look.

My only problem with this casing is the internal design. It still uses screws and an `old school' way of mounting the drives. Where as some newer cases notably the Antec cases which use drive rails and some even mount the drives facing the side to allow better unrestricted air flow by having the data cables on the side without obstructing the air flow. But with today's SATA hard disk cabling the air flow restriction due to cabling is minimal, not what it used to be with standard IDE cabling.

The removable motherboard tray is very well designed, with the rear plate thats fits on to the connectors on the motherboard also being on the motherboard plate. This allows you to fix and line up the motherboard to the ports on the back easier outside of the case. Some other designs on have a removable motherboard tray but need you to line up the motherboard with the back face place correctly to fix it porperly. Sometimes this can take up some time as you need to do all this inside the casing and can't really see what your doing. With this design Coolermaster scores well by allowing you to fix the motherboard to the back faceplate outside the casing as the faceplate is also on the removable motherboard tray.

As with any high end casing, the unit does not come with a power supply. Giving the user the choice of using his or her own power supply with the appropriate power rating. I have noticed some users complain about the fact about not having a power supply provided, but this would only add to the cost and it would be a shame if some users had to ditch the provided power supply if their demands were much higher than the supplied power supply could handle.

Thumb screws are everywhere and are a welcome change from having to find your screwdriver to remove the cover and add in an expansion card. If only the 5.25" drives also came with drive rails as I mentioned earlier it would be a great design.

There are a total of three 80mm case fans provided with an option of adding a 4th by replacing the USB, Firewire bay and door on the top of the casing with a 80mm fan. The unit comes with a nice fan grill with filter. I have not required this and have not yet tried to fix this on. If like me, you prefer to have access to USB and firewire / audio on the top mounted ports, simply depress the door concealing them to have access to it. It would have been better to see the use of 120mm case fans to allow better air flow and reduce noise, not that I hear any noise with the standard case fans though, just that it would have provided better air flow. I have noticed some newer casings coming with 120mm case fans.

The power and reset buttions are styled very nicely with a little silver trim on the black buttons (on the black Wavemaster). I am not quite sure if the Silver or the Black version looks best, but one of the reasons for me to go with black was because there are black CD/DVD drives I can fix on to the unit and make it all blend with the same colour. For the silver version I am unsure of any drives that have a similar colour, though recently I have seen some manufacturers of optical drives offering different coloured face plates for their drives. Speaking about colours I have noticed Coolermaster releasing a blue ve rsion and another yellow version of this amazing design.

With all the hassle of using standard screws to mount the drives I would still go ahead and buy another of these cases when I need another PC for my business as after everything is setup you rarely need to remove any drives or mess around with the screws. All in all the external design is hard to beat and I have not seen any other casing that looks better than this.

Quiet 4 Rackmount Case Review

Quiet 4 Rackmount Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Antec has changed the name of their quiet rackmount cases a couple of times. Amazon advertises this as "Quiet 4 Rackmount Case". That caption appears under the Take 4 + 650 case (the current name of the quiet 4u case) on the Antec website. I assumed it was a previous incarnation of this case (because of the several name changes by Antec). This case is clearly not one of the quiet series. The Quiet name does not appear anywhere by this model number on the Antec website. This case is a nice case and works fine except that it is loud. I bought this to build a computer to go in my sound rack to record live and studio music. Upon assembling the system and powering it up it became extremely evident that it is not a quiet case. The Antec website confirms this. I can hear this case blowing all the way down my long hall. I am quite upset that Amazon mischaracterizes/advertises this case as a quiet model. This is a case of Amazon clearly advertising this incorrectly. And after all of the time and money invested building the system I would have to take it apart and start over to get it right... [...]

Athenatech A100BB M.ATX Mini Tower Desktop Chassis 1 1 (2) Drive Bays - Black Review

Athenatech A100BB M.ATX Mini Tower Desktop Chassis 1 1 Drive Bays - Black
Average Reviews:

This is a really nice small computer case.Even though it's quite small, it still accepts full size PCI cards, instead of those harder to find half height PCI cards.The case also has a really bright blue LED that makes the case stand out a bit.The case also has two rear fans that keep the system cool.

The power supply however included with this model is only rated at 200 watts, and is pretty weak. It could barely power my system which only consists of a Pentium D 805 processor, a fanless nVidia graphics card, and a 200gb SATA hard drive (no optical drives). Athenatech has released a replacement model that features a power supply with 275 watts.I was able to obtain such model (exact same case, just better power supply) and have been happy ever since.

I am putting together a machine with the MSI Big Bang XPower MoBo with an i7 930 CPU, and will have a GTX 470 GPU, with 7 HDD's in various raid configs and a Corsair HX850 PSU.This case is so well thought out. So far no negatives except it is very big, which is actually good, as long as you understand this before you buy.

Cable mgmt is excellent, USB 3.0 on the front as well as Esata and 1394 and USB 2.0, covered on/off switch (reset too).

Wheels are included. Air filters on all openings - except for some reason not on the bottom in front of the PSU. All tool-less drive bays, 2 hot swap drive bays in front (amazingly these are not tool-less..wtf were they thinking?).

It includes 3, 200 mm fans (top - out, front - in, side - in, and one 120 mm on the rear out.It also has a place for a second (optional) 200 mm fan on the top.

So far it has been a pleasure to work with.I will update this as the build progresses.

update - the only thing marginal are the hot swap drawers. they require screws to hold the drives in (the included thumbscrews work at least) so it not terrible, but it would have been cool to have a method to yank drives in and out with no real effort at all.still 5 stars

Xion AXP 100 Gaming Series Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail (Black/Blue) Review

This case is cool looking, no doubt. And it's easy to install stuff, plenty of room, etc. What I don't like:

1) Case fans are not speed controlled (that's just plain cheap)
2) The front panel audio/USB are at the very bottom of the case; pretty inconvenient even if you put it on your desk.
3) Clearly it's cheaply made stamped steel... which is fine, just don't expect Antec build quality.

It is pretty cool looking, my 9 year old loves it (he picked it out for his first ever PC build).
