LC Power Pro Gaming Alliance 930W - Midi Tower PC case review

LC-Power PRO-930W Alliance PC case (2x USB 3.0) White (Accessories)

Customer Review

After quite a long time to complete - pure - was "according to the old standard" (power supply above is not optimized for water cooling, etc.) sworn downright aluminum PC case ... now I have to revise my opinion, however, again. Because, although computer Alucases course always have their respective advantages, - Subject cooling, heat dissipation, are me lately again the "classic steel case" rather. Especially if they are kept completely in white piano finish. Simply noble, chic, built balanced - exactly as they have recently been offered by many manufacturers.

Since I had put on me last year the Vaya Value from the manufacturer Sharkoon (indoor and outdoor piano lacquer painted white), I now the LC Power Pro 930W Gaming fell from LC Power - yeah, right, the well-known power supply manufacturer - on. It is based broadly on the legendary Thermaltake Level 10 GT in the so-called "Snow Edition", ie, -. Front results in a flat side (the right), left it standing on two feet, there arise individually modular sections, which to install the components are intended. However, they are tightly integrated into the housing, so not really fully modular (which also provides a number of advantages). Just as it is when Thermalthake Level 10 GT. What a clear difference at the right "level 10" is characterized but the price is affordable. Therefore, good to get over.

Nevertheless, it's really what forth - but it is the inside, unlike the Sharkoon Vaya Value not also white piano lacquer, but black. For the power supply is as there already down, it is already standard vorkonzipiert on water cooling, - 2x USB Port's front in the currently fastest available version 3.0 are also included (assuming your motherboard supports this!) - At the rear of the motherboard are bulges, so that they can change the CPU without removing the board. Or all the cables internally embarrassed in housing for better air circulation. Even 2x 120mm fans are already front already installed (in red), - the Sharkoon Vaya Value it was just one (in blue). One of which - the highest - freely adjustable by thumbscrew on a rail is ... helpful (especially with the supplied plastic prop!), They should sometimes have problems with it, for example to build in long graphics cards.

Furthermore, the hard disk requirements are mounted on a kind of "hammock" of rubber cantilever, thus these are 100% decoupled and suspended vibration-free, with the whole course without tools using quick clamps proceeds. This is for three of the bottom of the housing in the HDD - cage provided. Also for a maximum of two DVD / CD - ROM drives or burners and 1 each for a Floppy Drive.

Alternatively, you can install the top two HDD's classic by screws with volume expansion of 2.5 or 3.5 inches to 5.25 inches, just two disks in the disk bays. Bringing all together gives the possibility for a total of 7 drives. And the whole body (a mid tower) is suitable for fan cooling with fan's also 7 (2 above, a back, three in front, one in the side windows), - that the CPU and the power supply even counting 9. This would even "only" in good stead as a server. However, for this it is definitely too precious.

From all over the presentation, it is namely intended as a pure gamer PC, which also underlines the futuristic design with the built structures and the rare motif on the right side. This alone, and all the options for versatile, color LED fan assembly makes it a real eye catcher. As already said, it is oriented outwardly quite clear on Thermaltake Level 10, however, is considerably cheaper. The internal processing is also good, especially the thoughtful ways to a perfect cable management.

Only shortcoming's which are immediately caught my eye were. If you drive above installed so that they want to use the built-in flap, they have to remove the existing aperture in it. Unless they use a black tray, then it comes together well. And without a flashlight it is sometimes quite a chore to install something that is due to the inseitigen black finish. Also the necessary wiring is black. So you need enough good lighting conditions to connect everything. Even the side window consists of dark-colored acrylic glass. Thus it is quite opaque to the built-in hardware ... they should not plan the same, schedule more LED fan. This was in turn decorated with beautiful Sharkoon Vaya Yalue, but is now more subjectively intended by me in comparison. The two side panels can be easily removed, however, but they are processed slightly inappropriate.

Postive would still emphasize that, like the side panels secured the slot expansion slot covers with thumbscrews, the same goes for the disk holder and drive bays, - sodas they actually never need tools. They too are mostly designed breathable mesh. Personally, I have not so much confidence in Quick clamping assembly, but everyone must decide for himself.

Conveniences include, - at the bottom of the housing (where the power supply should also be installed pointing at rubberised vibration outwards) held a washable dust filter with four magnets. So they at any time easily can deduct for cleaning.

Is for negative worth mentioning on the front unfortunately only plastic was installed and not at all like the rest of the housing Steel with brilliant white appearance, this was not really with painted ... what could someday lead to discoloration or yellowing.

Conclusion: Looking for a particularly extravagant computer case that goes still looks very classy, ​​- is striking and was designed really cool that they can perfectly cool and even for a long graphics card and many disks is not a problem, with your custom can underline touch and they can wait without tools complete, unlimited purchase recommendation.
