Exterior:
-------------
The design is a perfect subjectively and depends on the tastes of each. Admittedly, it is apparently rather simple, fairly basic lines but still very classy! Besides, the door fairly glossy appearance even see a little "marbled" (with fine lines as if it were stone) plays for many. The good quality paint, small details in the line, the vents on the sides, the luminescent blue circle around the power button also add to the class notes. In short, it is my case that has its place as well under a desk in the living room highlight (and which bcp bcp will integrate best gamers boxes with too radical desgins).
4 In his review, the case offers 2 USB2 ports, 2 USB 3, a microphone jack and a headphone jack. Thereof, as the power switch and reset, are placed on the top of housing. I find the ideal location and much easier to access than when they are façcade. Of course, if your housing is built in an office, it may be a problem.
Facade, there is only one door that gives access to two 5-inch bays, a large grid that unclipped to provide access to filters and fans, as well as a switch to increase or decrease the fan speed (3 speeds available). Warning, there is no 3.5-inch bay.
Finally, as regards dimensions, this case is rather chunky. I wanted a case ATX but not too high. This one is not very high but wide enough.
Indoor:
------------
The excellent print quality on the exterior also extends to the interior of the case.
The cabinet has 7 slots for ventilos 140mm (1 back, 2 front, one on the door, 2 above and 1 downstairs), 2 are delivered, one facade, and 1 in the back. The door in the front and the side door are covered with an asphalt foam to insulate and make the quietest case. The ventilos in facades are protected by an easily removable filter. A filter is also present at the bottom of the housing for the supply and the location of the fan. This prevents the power supply draws too much dust.
Most screws are hands and has no need of tools for most manipulations.
As I described earlier, there are 2 locations 5 inches. There is a block of 5 locations 3.5 "and 1 block 3 locations 3" 5. Why 2 blocks? If ever you have a really long graphics card, you can remove a block and win good 10 centimeters (but lose 5 disk locations). However, by default, the box already accepted large graphics cards (about 30cm).
The discs are laid on trays, readily removable, and are placed on rubbers. Excellent point to reduce vibration, noise and péréniser our DD.A note that you can of course attach components 2.5 "SSD like. Besides, I recommend installing them here and not on the plate to the back of the motherboard which requires removing the motherboard to access the screws.
As regards the cable management is all good. There is plenty of room between the door and the plate of the motherboard (thank you to the 23 cm width of the box) and you can easily spend all cables. Results? Almost no visible cable is inside the case !!
Not much more to say except that this excellent build quality is reflected in and when you step inside your components. Note that for lovers of water-cooling, it is possible to place a radiator on the top of the box. Not being a great expert in this field, I can tell you what kind or what size heater you can put it exactly.
In use:
-----------------
The 2 ventilos delivered and the excellent soundproofing perform their job.
My config (i5-3570k with original cooler), radeon 6950 (in its basic design so the loudest), 5 + 1 SSD HDD) is very silent is cooled in this case. Personally, I placed in the ventilos 7V and office use, my pc is almost inaudible (at my feet under the desk). In games, the graphics card is one can hear of course, but this is nothing compared to my old box and anyway, the sound covers the faint sound generated by the PC.
In conclusion:
-------------------
Most opinion (Press + users) are quite positive and I part. This box is sturdy, well built, simple but classy, quiet but efficient, offers many indoor place in a fairly compact (beware it is quite heavy), in short, it fills all the goals and at a rate from a good average and the worth!
Very happy with my purchase!
