APEVIA X-QPACK2-NW-BK/500 Black Computer Case

Comment:
Fantastic little situation. Looks excellent, fantastic air flow, easy to place noise reduction modifications Aluminum construction makes it light weight whilst getting sturdy enough. The mobo tray is wonderful, but requires power supply removal to spot proc. fan; they ought to have made the power provide screws thumb screws. Font bezel isn't as sturdy as it really should be. The power switch is very touch, activating even at a slight bump of the front panel (often turning the Pc off or on when not intended) I would certainly use this situation once again.

looks good, fits 2 optical drive + 2 tough drives, also quite a few power supply cords, at least in my setup. wish it was a modular power supply. may possibly replace it later adore Angelina Jolie.

Comment:
Very good overall case Rear 120mm fan has made a noise due to the fact I purchased it, sounds like a broken bearing. Not the sturdiest style.

Comment:
The case is the suitable size for what I necessary. I didn't want an additional tower, and this offered adequate space for 2 external drives and 2 internal tough drives which is what I need. I replaced the fans as soon as I opened the though because I can do without having the glowing lights. With a couple of Antec TriCool fans it's a quiet setup. No power provide problems, and no assembly problems. The front manage return springs aren't a genuine robust design. One side of the handle on my case doesn't return all the way in. I can take the case apart and get the springs operating once more, but the subsequent time I pull the deal with out it won't return all the way.

The situation is light weight,easy to set up components and sharp seeking.The PSU has been holding up for three months now. Installed a GIGABYTE GA-E7AUM-DS2H LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 9400 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with four gigs of Gskill ram Western Digital 500 gig HDD and Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale three.16GHz runs my 43" with no hiccups. The temp can be changed to F by a button on the back of the display. Paints a small rough. Deal with is funky didn't hook up all the leds all I want is the temp display to tell me it's on. Could have been a tiny shorter 1Ǟ" to get it under my LCD Tv

Small form factor, wonderful looks. The fans included appear to move the heat from the situation quite efficiently. I worried the situation would not fit the ATI 5770HD, but it did with no problems. Cable management in the case can get hairy, but that's to be expected with a situation of this size. The case doesn't seem to be of the highest excellent: the slide out tray hardly slides out (more like pull seriously tough and hope for the very best) and the pieces of the situation do not fit together absolutely flush, taking away from the otherwise great appear of the situation. This situation is not really as tiny as I had envisioned, but it is a good situation. I am quite pleased with it. WARNING: This case does not come with mobo hardware (screws, risers, etc.)

Compact style for straightforward storage. The situation fans, while not delivering gale force wind speeds, are deadly quiet and sufficient to offer enough airflow. The front panel temperature indicator is useful, but very bright. The mobo tray is useful and practical for assembly (but this characteristic is not distinctive to this case and is widely accessible on other cases). Please read the 'other thoughts'. I read all of the feedback relating to the situation prior to I bought it. Most of it was correct, but some of the issues are possibly due to a few individuals getting the delicate and dexterous touch of a brick layer. Right here are a handful of points even though: - This situation was not created to help the weight of a dump truck. It employed to enclose delicate and sensitive electronics. Treat is as such and you will not have complications.- A tall cpu cooler/fan will not fit in this situation. Interior structure wont let it and it is not feasible to alter interior to accommodate one particular.- I swapped the OEM power supply for a 650 Watt Corsair, which was also slightly physically larger. This created cable management a challenge as the space amongst this energy cables and the DVD drive was tight.- The Temperature sensors are hassle-free as they can be used to monitor any temp you want. Basically tape the sensor to exactly where/what ever and viola! The display is very bright, which could turn out to be a nuisance in a dark room.

Ventilation is enough and the form element is sometimes valuable. Wasn't extremely tricky to arrange every thing inside, but I'm glad I didn't get the a single with the window simply because my cabling is a nightmare. The deal with on the front seems a little low-cost since it is spring loaded for some strange purpose, but it doesn't bother me. Temp readout is pretty bright in a dark space (not a con?). The energy provide has been great for stock, I have been running an 8800GTS off of it for about five months without having a hitch. I was afraid my parts wouldn't get sufficient air but my CPU is idling 25C at the moment :D .

Inexpensive decent case, with 500 watt PSU. I like the internal style of the case. Slide out motherboard tray. Truly thin materials so the case is flimsy, but with all elements installed it is sturdy. Outer cover not such a excellent fit. Internal fans are not potent enough to cool contemporary hardware elements. Power supply started smoking immediately after just three days use. The case tends to short, but fixable. I wont be returning it since of the smoking PSU, since it's not worth hoping the next PSU doesn't do the identical thing. I bought a high quality SeaSonic 80 plus silver PSU to replace. It's not worth the trouble to return for the price tag. The case is good adequate to preserve for what I paid. I didn't expect substantially from the PSU thinking about the expense. I would suggest they ditch the PSU/fans, and just sell the case at a less costly price. They would almost certainly sell much more.

-Deal with-Transportable-Lightweight For some cause the case is made of affordable flimsy metal. Also putting the hood back on the case is like cracking a protected backwards. Mainly because the case is little, if you fill all the pci slots it runs rather warm. Its also challenging to match every little thing inside, achievable but tough. I recommend a single slot graphics card if you're gonna place one in, and some much better fans for superior ventilation.

Comment:
Modest case with room for almost everything and it fits nicely on my desk.Fans are quiet enough.Great airflow. Power provide operates (unlike some other reviewers) but it only had Ƒ) 2x4 12V power connector and my motherboard wants two. I bought a 450W from BBCase is made with thin metal so take your time and don't more than tighten the screws or manhandle the case. Mine arrived un-damaged and the box has lots of Styrofoam to protect it. I didn't use the temp sensors due to the fact I didn't see the point.Didn't get 5th star since of the power provide.

It's portable with an straightforward to carry manage. It's light weight and effortless on your arm. Can fit a decent graphic card. A lot of room and uncomplicated to perform on. Can hold up to two HDD and two five.25" drives. It operates and doesn't break when delivered. The two front usb ports are extremely convenience. Lots of pci slots comparing to other Micro ATX cases. Owned for a year now. Quite flimsy. You can bend it really straightforward. You have to bend the medal frame a bit in order to location in your graphic card. The fan is loud. Bulky, not genuinely desirable. The price is seriously high for something that's not well created. If I had been to offered an solution of picking a Micro ATX case once more, I wouldn't pick this a single and would opt for one thing else. This case does fit my desires, but the craftsmanship is a bit poor. Despite the fact that it does what it's suppose to, I would want to appear for one thing else.

Comment:
Compact, and with some care it can even hold some higher-end graphics cards. I just got via placing together a method for my sister, and about a year and a half ago built one for myself--both occasions I chose this case. (All suitable; I picked the blue 1 for me.) It's not accessible with out the 500W power supply, darn it. Also, the CD cage is a bit extended--it blocks placing the 6-pin power cable on the graphics card as it stands. I've found out the hard way that although ATX constrains the height and width of power supplies, it doesn't limit their depth nearly as a lot. This led to a incredibly cramped scenario, even when I got a modular power supply.

really sturdy front usb connectors are effortless to bend

Comment:
Aluminum construction, removable program board tray. temperature guages in the front are nice. The energy supply died following a couple of weeks of use. The outer skin of the case springs wide at the bottom when removed from the frame. That makes it tricky to put it back in location the first time. some of the edges in the case really feel rough like they could cut you if you weren't cautious. I liked this case for the size, and the way the inside is laid out. I was disappointed in the life of the power provide. Manufacturer Response:You can do an RMA via us for the power provide to get an exchange on the PSU if you are nevertheless beneath our warranty period. You can contact Apevia's customer service at service@apevia.com or call at 鿍) 718-0789. We attempt to reply to all calls and e-mails as soon as we can.

I like its look and general construction and the handle may possibly come in handy at some point - perhaps for a burgler? I like its freedom to use shorter cables internally. The built in fans present very good air flow and are not loud. I like it so effectively that I have ordered another and will likely order a third. I choose case fans that have MB connectors. The power provide LOOKS properly constructed and has a perfect balance of connectors, but died right after 1 week's use - I really feel lucky that it did not eat additional components! I would have otherwise rated this case as excellent. Good quality power supplies can price much more than this entire package; so, perhaps Apevia could/should re-think how they package this. This will NOT fit several CPU fans that challenging-core more than-clockers may well prefer, but this is not me and my Asus V72s fit perfectly on my Asus P5Q-EM MBs (and in the case) and do a much more impressive job than the Intel's packaged fans do.

Style - I like the motherboard slide-out tray. It makes installing the components uncomplicated and quickly. The case has held up nicely beneath gentle use (even the manage is valuable.) With the internal supports in location, the case is sturdy.Cooling - There are plenty of fans and air-flow is more than adequate for keeping the case cool. Material - the metal bends easily and the paint scratches with minimal get in touch with. Various instances my kids have placed a hand on top of the case to lean more than and the complete factor warps out of shape.Front speaker/mic jacks. The jacks don't operate. I don't know if possibly it's simply because there isn't a 1394 connector on my mother board and they share power from that. They are just dead. The software for my sound card doesn't show them as active. I get no electronic pop/crackle from them when plugging in speakers/mic.Power Provide: The power provide lasted roughly eight months. I identified that the Apevia ATX-5600W power supply will fit. You have to eliminate the internal supports, squeeze it into place, then reinstall the internal supports. Also, you will need to have a quite brief DVD-Rom to make it perform (I'm employing an LG version).Core components: ECS Geforce6100PM-M2 AM2+/AM2 motherboard with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Brisbaneand G.SKILL 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 memory

Great feature set and aesthetics for a value-priced box that contains a P/S. Wife likes the smaller footprint. Somewhat flimsy construction, poor fit-up of the components, outer cover was slightly dented and distorted as packed at the factory (not a shipping problem) but not serious adequate to warrant an RMA for a different 1. Be cautious of the help stand-offs on the inside of the front panel, they break with out much effort...Superglue saves the day! Whilst I recognize this is a worth-priced box, I'm usually wary of worth-priced, inefficient, power supplies as I've smoked serveral MB's with them over the years. Looking for an 80+ unit with short cables to fit inside the smaller footprint.

Comment:
The case looks very good. Installing the hardware took some finesse, but wasn't all that tricky - about what could be expected. There's a brief in the case that allows me to turn the case on (and off!) by brushing the front panel. Inserting a USB drive into the front ports also causes the pc to crash. My answer has been to not touch the front panel with anything. Overall, I like the case, and have applied it for about two years. I put an additional fan in the other front grill, but it's not crucial for cooling. Manufacturer Response:If you are getting issues with a brief when touching the metal on the front panel, that can be fixed. There ought to be a tiny black wire ending in a metallic loop coming from the back of the front panel. You would will need to ground the wire to the case body by screwing it in one particular of those holes. If you want to have a image sent for clarification, you can speak to service@apevia.com.

CutePortableDoes what it's developed to do I guess. Flimsy metalA little cramped With a Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R mobo I was in a position to fit an 8800GTX into the case but had to cut a hole in the cdrom bay for the power connectors simply because they're on prime of the GTX. With a Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2, I had to use an 8800GTS 512MB video card with pwr connectors on the back simply because the mobo shifted the placement of the card to left too substantially. I was able to fit a Zalman CNPS7700 cooler into this on each mobos. The 500W power provide was enough for powering the 8800GTX and an e6600 cpu overclocked at three.3Ghz too.

A little case that holds a complete ATX power supply for operating your personal computer, consists of a decent 500W unit. I utilized it to bring my desktop abroad, fits perfectly in a carry-on on a plane. Unlike I initially expected, I basically trusted the handle and it worked nicely. This little case is like a little oven inside. I had continuous overheating concerns even though using it. I initially bought it for its compatibility with full ATX power supplies, but anything that demands that a lot energy will overheat in this case. The case construction is also fairly flimsy and "sharp", doesn't really feel refined. A nice little case for portability, just be wary of heat, a couple bigger and far better fans may possibly aid issues out.

This case is excellent, very good cooling for such a little location! I'm using it for a gaming Pc, 8800GTS 640mb fits just perfectly snug (or just barely if you want to be pessimistic about it), power provide powers every little thing just fine 8800GTS 640mb, AMD athlon 64 x2 6000+, 3gb DDR2 RAM Not much space for wires, good notion to have those small velcro strips intended for holding wires together, and then group wires together with the horizontal rods. The two front mesh things fall out very easily! Given that no Micro ATX motherboards I've observed have much more than one PCI-Express x16, or PCI-Express x16 two. slots, You can't do SLI

Comment:
Affordable, comes with a power provide. Interior power switch cable is longer than prior to as far as we can tell. Inexpensive. We've bought a good a lot of of these situations, by way of various types, and the latest batch have been of subpar high quality. It's easier to bend back part of the motherboard tray than to put in a new I/O plate. We've received two-three situations that get stuck sliding the tray in and out because it's not cut effectively. One case did not have the micro-ATX holes properly aligned. It utilised to be a very good case for the money, but this latest batch is just poor top quality.

Comment:
Every little thing fit nicely, much more room than I believed. I would surely use a SATA CDRom drive though. Wonderful price for what you get. I would buy this once more to make much more computers. Digital display of CPU and Difficult drive temp is good. The metal is thin so it does really feel a bit flimsy when assembling anything. When everyhting is put together it does stiffen up. Fans are slightly loudand would most likely be the first upgrade.

Comment:
Sharp searching case. Instructions had been precise. Went together smoothly. A lot of power supply connections. An additional superb encounter with Newegg. 1 will will need to pull the Mobo tray when adding or removing PCI cards. Newegg is the greatest!
