APEVIA X-ALIEN MX-ALIEN-BK/500 Black Computer Case

Comment:
Cost-free overnight shipping (So. Cal. to Las Vegas) plus a ฤ mail in rebate for a complete tower and 500 watt psu... can not be beat. Lots of images for directions. Sorry for those that purchase it now mainly because discount went down, but still worth it! Added two fans to the front and this issue blows cold air out of the rear exhaust. A lot of room for drives and quickly slide in and out.

Manufacturer Response:Perhaps! This case is a heavyweight monster, so they ought to've been manhandled by an even larger monster to be arriving damaged...?

This case is Really properly constructed. There doesn't seem to be something cheap about it. Looks great with or without the front door. great finish. rolled edges on most all steel inside. A lot of space for anything you really should want to put in it like room for your basketball sneakers. You ought to not be dissapointed with this case. No window to show off the goodies. Use proper lifting approaches

Comment:
It's major. There's plenty of space to operate, it accomodates every little thing you can think of and then much more... the effortless-to-install brackets are a breeze to perform with. Also the two major fans 鲸mm) generate a lot of air circulation which is what you want in a computer system. It's big, aha, beware if you program to put it inside one particular of those CPU desk compartments, most probably it won't fit. You can get rid of the legs at the bottom of the case and obtain about 1 inch, but it will be tight. All round, it looks sturdy and it has lots of space, I like it!

Comment:
Sliding/removable motherboard tray. Removeable HDD cage. Great silent cooling. Decent power supply. HDD connectors don't route extremely well. This case was very nice to develop in. I had a lot of space to function with. I would absolutely suggest this case to anyone.

Comment:
It's going to take me a though to fill this factor up. Luckily there is lots of space to make changes / additions. Comes with a serviceable power supply for regular users who read the instructions on their other elements. The shipping box had a pretty huge hole in it when it arrived. I made the guy stand there whilst I opened it and inspected it. Noticing a shipping theme with other products I've bought as effectively. It's Massive. The factor is so tall the power cord doesn't reach the floor when sitting on a desk. But that's what I was searching for so I'll make some electrical adjustments.

Comment:
The situation is fairly solid. I like the way the tough drives insert sideways but the wires in the back get kinda close to the side. Not a big deal tho. The PSU worked for me as i have heard horror stories of PSU's that come with circumstances are DOA. Case is pretty quiet and cant complain about side panel fan. In the front they have space for two little fans as an alternative of 1 massive one particular. I dont know if thats excellent or undesirable but i believed a bigger fan would be fine. This situation compares to the sonata III and i like that case. This is a fairly good spacious case.

Comment:
The case is an expansion monster with a beefy PSU and plent of cables. You want SATA2 HDD's? No problemo!! Receiving one to arrive devoid of internal damage was a challenge and now that I have the situation that I paid for nearly a month ago. It's a good case but some of the internal elements, (IE; front fan brackets and front door pivots), could be created from a much less britle material. Manufacturer Response:: D

removable motherboard trayremovable difficult drive railsGeneral size120mm case fans x2 Flimsy front bezel, cover for front audio, USB, Firewire, came off although mounting front situation fans.. need to have to get in touch with manufacturer as it doesn't pop back in.500(watt) no name energy supply doesn't appear to be absolutely stable. Although not going as well far out of spec to raise a real alarm it varies sufficient even when connected to a UPS to deem it NOT worth the threat.I had to physically modify the mainboard tray in order to get it to mount adequately with a mainboard mounted to it. Problem was the board would not align effectively to the I/O shield. While not a key modification, you shouldn't have to do this on situation that expenses anyplace near 贄.Expense... This is a clone of an earlier ANTEC, and Thermaltake and several other people. Each of the aforementioned appeared to be of greater construct good quality, and both included a Name Branded power provide. Not a poor case, but not stellar either. If you can get it for โ-์ then your ok... Surely not worth 贄 pricetag. If you can find the Thermaltake or ANTEC versions you probably would be happier with the develop good quality. Powersupply was not an challenge as I replaced it with a Corsair anyway. For the value they must have tossed in the 80mm front fans as well. Summary.. there are better instances in this value range but not a total loss.

Comment:
Best deal out there!! I place two 80mm fans in the front, excellent airflow, enough space inside for HD's, can deal with complete size mobo. Its an all around winner. I really like the case. I was worried about the 500w power provide ahead of I got the situation.; but soon after I got everything setup its remarkable!! I'm gonna acquire another lol

This is a excellent complete tower case. I got it here on sale a handful of months back and I am quite pleased. Every little thing is nice and solid and the latch on the side panel is a wonderful feature. The all modular drive bays are wonderful as nicely and so is the removable mobo tray. The included power supply and fans seem pretty low-cost. The side fan will whistle if I turn the speed up, so I simply unplugged it without any raise in case temp. I am not employing the included energy supply either. Also a slight con is that with all of my stuff installed it is quite heavy. But that is to be expected for such a beefy complete tower. I put two red cold cathode tubes behind the front grill with a silent 120 mm fan. I wired up a switch to turn off the lights. They give the case a good accent, and still permit me to sleep. I utilised the power supply in a construct for my mother and it is nevertheless operating powerful.

Comment:
1st of this is a large case, but that make it easy to work on. the take away in a position tray for the mother board for stress free of charge conditions. also the hard drive bays are removeable as properly. it eelevers out standing circulation for reduced heat. N/A If you are seeking for a fantastic case, easy to function on, and provides good circulation this is your tower. i have place in two different computers sence i have had this tower and i adore the straightforward axis

Comment:
Lots of space and effortless to access. The top bay is loose. I installed a DVD Rom there and it went in uncomplicated and "clicked" into place. Nonetheless, when I began pushing on the backside of the DVD Rom (while pluging in the power and the SATA cable) it quickly popped loose and slid forward. Front bottom fan location is not large adequate for 120mm fans but will take two smaller fans. Sharp edges inside, be cautious.

Comment:
Significant, artfully designed paths for airflow including: min two" gaps b/w ALL component areas Ɠ.five and ROM bays, PS, MB, Expansion slots,) unobstructed airflow b/w MB back and case, and cross mounted HDD bays directly inline with dual-fans in front. Flip out case legs, plus mounting holes for any form-aspect you want to drop in. four.five out of 5 Heavy and significant. Front fans not included.

Comment:
This is a Quite nicely-engineered item. Any person that had to "mod" the removable tray to accomodate mb got a case that was dropped throughout SAH & is warped (not the person, the case :)- the removable tray is flawless and you will Really like it. A lot of areas to hide the unused cable clumps. Rolled edges everywhere suggests monstrous power supplies w/ a billion cables pose no threat- I can route them any freaking where I want. Accomodates a giant Vendetta two fh plus a 120mm side case fan??? You've got to be kidding me. The front panel connectors basically plug into my mb w/ no modifications as if standardized- wow. Other reviewers have listed the following cons: "heavy", "big", "not a modest case" and "don't under-estimate the size of this case"... THE CASE HAS 5 EXTERNAL 5 1ǚ" BAYS, IS Produced OF QUIET ROLLED STEEL AND HAS SIDEWAYS-MOUNTING Hard DRIVE BAYS!!! OF COURSE IT'S Massive & HEAVY!!! I can't strain this sufficient- this case is the result of years of attempting to get it right. I am a picky snothead and I will uncover some thing incorrect with each and every case on NewEgg mainly because I've tried them all, but I ain't got nothin' on this case- best case I've ever purchased. I couldn't wait to get online and give this thing 6 out of five eggs. Apevia: why wreck a perfectly great case by throwing in a junky-a power provide? Scrap the stupid power supply and throw in a bunch of silicon rubber case fan mounts and sufficient good case fans to cover what the case can manage! You can't tell me that a power supply is more affordable than a handful of silicon case fan mounts and a couple extra case fans... come on! You know what? This case is so excellent it's hilarious. Suggesting improvements would be just downright rude. Manufacturer Response:Thank you, brother Darek for helping "school the masses"! Will mention your "trade the PSU for some other helpful accessory" suggestion to the higher-ups. assistance@apevia.com

-Spacious.-Sturdy.-Effortless install of the mobo via removable tray.-Front grill quickly removable to install front fans.-5.25 bay covers hold the rails when not in use so you'll in no way lose them.-Comes with two significant case fans -PSU - I purchased the case knowing I wouldn't use it so the real con here is that I couldn't acquire this case without having the PSU.-Metal divider in between two HDD slots is slightly annoying but nothing key. -This case is so effortless to perform with in terms of installing and removing points that I am seriously considering obtaining one more.-Bear in mind to use angled SATA cables for HDDs as the bay faces the side panel.

Comment:
Major case. Roomy. heavy, & a sturdy create. The fans integrated are quiet. I'm extremely happy w/this case, finest I have purchased in a extended time. What's automatic fan speed manage??? Can't comment on the pwr supply, I required some a lot more juice than the 500w that is now in my closet.I will evaluation the rest of my new program in a whilst - gotta give a honest (month long) evaluation on it.

Comment:
The case is massive and quiet. Plenty of space for cable routing and lots of drive bays. The case is well built and solid. The power supply works nicely; voltage is steady with 3 optical drives, two tough drives and 8 GB of RAM. All of the drive bays are fast and simple to take out and swap drives. 5¼" drive rails aren't very snug, which is only a difficulty with one of my drives. I put that drive in the top slot and wedged a bit of rubber above it and the dilemma was solved.The front USB ports are truly close together. No worse than the back of most motherboards, but only 1 wireless dongle or flash drive will fit at a time unless you have seriously flat drives. As yet another reviewer mentioned, the 5¼" drive rails are properly placed but inconspicuous.

Comment:
Just about every drive comes with rails to make puting the drive in and out straightforward. It is a full tower case and as such it is big, but almost everything goes in effortlessly, installing the drives or replacing them is basic, and the massive fans make cooling a non-concern. None. Just remember that it is a FULL TOWER and as such it is a huge case This definately has produced me want to get an additional Apevia case. PLus, NewEgg pricing was the ideal out there as usual.

Comment:
This tower is sleek, quite roomy, and every little thing fit perfectly! I was truly surprised how tall and huge this tower is. Incredibly Really pleased with it. None none

Comment:
Good case and power suply for the price IDE Cables and floppy cables are definitely brief cant beat that cost
