1) Integrated SDHC card reader (USB 2.0 connected)
2.) Front USB3.0
3.) Front Audio
4.) 250W Power Supply
Even during the assembly, I noticed some things on a negative:
1.) The front USB3.0 cable is so long that it can -shaped embarrassed from the front panel to the ATX panel "L" and then be able to transfer all the way to the right (PS / 2 ports). Sounds good to me but that case is not a M-ATX or ATX case, the thick USB3 cable are just too long. I have the cable to the front panel "stuffed" and laboriously assembled everything. Ah yes, the "gap" between Läufwerksträger and power supply (for the front panel cables) is very tight. But the SATA cable of my 3.5 "hard disk had to be badly folded.
2.) The USB3 connector sits on most boards (I have tested it with a Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI) at the point where the Slimlinelaufwerk is with its Slim SATA connection. Since the thick connector is angled in any way collide here the USB3 cable to the Slimlineadapter. Since the sockets are not saved in the SATA Slimline drive and to the motherboard with screws M5er everyone can imagine what can happen when excessive stress on the fine solder joints.
3.) The front audio cable is similar to long, but it is easier to hide behind the front panel.
4.) The power supply is warnehmbar, but it whispers softly to himself. Unfortunately, there is a loadable up to 250W power supply !! For 25W / 85Va this results in a very bad cos phi (with me partly by 0.39 !!). Even if the power supply should have 85 +% efficiency (at 110V and probably 80% load), so it has its problems with the PFC. Currently individuals is no reactive power is calculated as the electricity meter measures only real power, yet contemporary is something else.
Benefits of the machine also: It's small. The power supply is low and the housing well stocked. Also of accessories (screws for Slimlinelaufwerke, hard drives) everything is included. Also the price was to the power supply more than io.
However, ill-conceived solely because of the thick USB3 cable. If the plug and angled only 45 degrees, a 4 star rating would have been safe. The too long cable while still spoil the rest. Small errors in a small package quickly lead to devaluation ...
