Customer Review

I should mention first that I date a Termaltake Tenor housing used, which is no longer available, I would have bought at once, especially if the connections would have upgraded to HD audio and USB 3 (and it would still be available; desktop Enclosures seem "out" to be). The LianLi PC32 liked with good, but for the desk was too low, and so I ended up at LC 13S:
The front panel looks classy, ​​but the flap is held by some weak magnet so that the flap slightly rises (The Thermaltake had a pen-like click closure which appealed to me more).
The brackets for the drive bays are a bit too flexibly mounted such that they must be constantly realigned with the replacement of the drive cages. Overall, the drive design is quite robust, but degenerates rapidly into a Schrauborgie.
I am unhappy about the decision to have to position the power supply at the rear left, because the ATX power supplies, the air intake of the left. Although the case has left a ventilation grille, but you give away so the Wärmeababfuhr from the housing through the AC adapter. Therefore, I have the power supply on the head mounted either vertically (not easy), so that it now draws in the case of the right air. The power cable from the power supply come the left drive cage very close, especially when using 3.5-inch drives.
The connector to the front panel are standard, ie rather shabby, and you can have fun with the many two-pole connectors that are to be added to the pins on the motherboard. The USB connector is a big black plug without a latch with rather bulky cables, raising fears that the plug eventually resolved without intervention by the Board.
The slot covers are uncommon performed with perforated sheets, which makes little sense, since the air flow should be drawn from the rear fans from the front through the housing. Through holes back is probably drawn from well back air, which effectively attenuates the airflow.
Right in the housing near the CPU is another ventilation grille, but you can not fix an additional fan. Neither top Blower, nor for CPU fan, the blow to the back, making the lateral ventilation grilles really mind.
The two built-in 8cm case fan (with double-sided guard!) Does not turn below 1400 RPM and are therefore quite noisy, so I'll replace it. The ability to incorporate a center front fan is well intentioned, but the fan is seated then in the 2.5-inch drive cage, where it is then very narrow spaces.
Of the two blue LEDs on the front panel, which are my taste too light, the HDD LED lights up with a strong cone (stronger than the power LED) in the room. Leaving aside in a darkened room movies, so that bothers well very. Blue LEDs may look cool, but the old red LEDs are much more pleasant in perception, especially when they are not working at full capacity.
The attached manual is rather poor (compared to the initially mentioned alternatives).
With an ATX board, an optical disc drive (5.25 inches), and four disks (two 2.5-inch, two 3.5-inch) and the CPU fan is already relatively narrow in housing, especially if you still unused must accommodate supply cable of the power supply.
