Recommended (with minor limitations)!

The carrying handle makes excellent services walking around balancing the not very easy system. That he would be out of place (like so often reads) I can not confirm. With built-in hardware it sits at just the right spot and is also sufficiently stable ...

The design zeckt me personally, the soft grip surfaces lend the housing ME that little bit extra.
The 2.5 exchange Slot is certainly still provide good services and good ventilation of the housing allows minimum fan speeds for cooling to grandiose.

With i7 2600K (currently without OC), HR-02 Macho, 16Gb Ram, HD 6950 with 2GB and 2 HDD makes it in terms of temperature does not really make any difference whether the system is in idle or under games load (hardware cruelty via Benchmark I personally nothing) runs.

The fan (top: 2x 140 Xigmatek, rear: 1x 140 Xigmatek and front: 2x 120 original) schnurpeln case with 800-850 U / min stubbornly to himself and the Temps of CPU and motherboard are ranked in the range of 25 - 35 degrees during the Samsung HDDs rather freeze to death than to overheat threaten ;-) ...

Installation of additional hard drives or replacing them is very easy with transversely mounted HDD cages, because the plates are inserted and locked with the supplied HDDträger from the rear (right cover) and the connecting cable are also infected there. If you have pre-wired so the Rechnerbau, the replacement of a HDD in a very short time is easily accomplished.

However, there are some small points, which is not so much like me ...

- Rear and Toplüfter (too loud) are soon kicked out and were replaced by 140s of Xigmatek.
- The purpose of the secret Schubladenfächleins open up to me not quite - the place should have been more suitable for use in my opinion one 5.25 bay.
- The fan control is sufficient with its 6 speed levels in principle, but the LEDs of the Xigmatek flicker fan at speeds below maximum (original fans are 2-port (2-pole and 3-pole) provided This could have been solved more sense -. Now the fan control is in favor the soft recovery ventilator unemployed: - /
- I'm missing a front-1394 (Firewire) for you have attached my camera.

Overall, however, outweigh the positive things clearly and make the case to me for me personally quite perfect choice. Therefore, despite minor defects no full point deduction and buy recommendation!
