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

Comment:
The pictures on the website does not do this little gem justice, but it is as quiet as a mouse, the motherboard pulls out which is a plus and the included 500watt PS was an awesome plus. Had this baby up and running in less than an hour. This is my second Apevia QPack case. This one also has a CPU & HD Temp sensor(F or Celcius) I must say this is a much beter case than the 1st Gen I bought-perfect as a media center.you really need to get one to appreciate the beauty of the craftmanship. Great Job Apevia Aspire and this site gives a great deal again.

I read the reviews before buying. The case comes with 2 different size screws. If you try the smaller one first you will not have a problem. I think the temp guage light is to bright, but my wife loves it as it is. The fans are quiet, but should also offer a plug to attach to the motherboard. I would also like to see more then 2 SATA conections. After getting this black case for me, my wife wanted a new silver case like it for her computer.

I bought more than 4 X-QPACK cases and I am still loving them.

i have been using this case about 30 days. the fans are quite and keep my temp around 90. it fits in my tv center so i use my hdtv as my screen.

I bought this case to house a home server. The fit and finish is good, but the case is flimsy. Before purchasing it I read the other reviews and was aware of this, and took care during assembly. There's really no need for a handle, because the case wouldn't hold up well if constantly being Transported. Over all it's a nice case with a relatively small footprint that looks good. It does the job and i would consider again.

I had real problems attaching the motherboard to the slide out tray. The tray is aluminum, as is most of the case, and the stands are just hex ended and pressed into the tray. The screws that came with did not screw in easily and several of the stands ended up spinning in the tray. I ended up replacing most of the stands. Once I got past the tray, the rest of the installation was very straight forward. The fans are very quiet, but be careful the wiring does not stop push against a fan and keep it from working. This happenned to me temporarily but the fans were so quiet I didn't notice. I would still recommend the case, just realize what you're getting.

First of all, this thing looks great. Seriously. I used it in a media pc build, and it looks and acts the part flawlessly. Now the bad. This thing feels like it was made out of paper. The parts don't fit well together, and you have to be careful because the front grills are not reinforced (they easily punch in). That being said, if you are going to build it and forget about it (but not dropkick it), this is a good case. Also, it's small and affordable, a combination I haven't seen in cases recently.

It's hard to find a good mATX case that has a good solid handle, which is what I really needed, but on the cheap. The metal handle is pretty sturdy. The LCD screen shows temp in celsius, but if you read the instructions you can get that switched over. If you're a neurosurgeon you'll have a leg up actually flipping the tiny switch. Cable management is important in a case this small. Keep it neat and it stays pretty cool.

This is a great product for the price. I have seen a lot of reviews who have dinged this case for being small and cramped, while this is true, it should be a grounds for a low mark... It's supposed to be small! :) Best advice I can give is to take you time and carefully route all the wires, putting your optical drive in the bottom bay will allow you to stack unused PSU cables on it and increase airflow to the rest of the case. My only complaint with this case is that most of it, is composed of very thin aluminum. Parts of it are extremely flexible and fragile, so be careful. Rock solid media center case for the price!

PSU fried, tiger direct would not let me return psu on its own. I had already modified the case and put a new psu in the pc. So yeah, I am not too happy with (the site)'s return policy.

The two fans are enough to keep the case cool. They run very quiet too. The temp readout is nice, my CPU runs at about 29C and the Hard Drive at 28C. However, the temp read out is a little bright at night. This was my first build and it was easy to do, there's more than enough room in this case.

I went from a tower to this MATX case. The build was very easy and I really love the motherboard slid-out shelf!! Pretty good airflow, could be a little better though (air vents on sides seem small.) I think the quality is good, nice finish and the LCD (blue) temp display is a really nice feature to have. I would recommend this MATX case!!

First of all, I did my first build in this, and I don't suggest anyone else do so. Build quality is passable. I love the removable motherboard tray, but the short PSU cables make this less useful than I hoped. Really cramped inside. Watch your fingers, and clear the way for all your fans. Cools well, quiet, and looks great. For the money, would buy again.

Wonderful case, very small. AMD processor stays very cool and the air flow is great. I am using it in an arcade machine and it still stays cool enclosed inside there. It is a little tough to work in because it's so small, but that's to be expected.

Nice small case with plent of expansion inside. Used this to set up a HTPC with a system drive and 3 TB of media storage. Motherbard tray slides right out and everything was really easy to install...just make sure that you get a low-profile CPU fan. Not a lot of clearance there. Super quiet and the thermal monitoring on the front is excellent. Even with all of the drives and boards I have in it, the case has stayed nice and cool due to the front and rear fans. Highly recommend this case. Excellent deal for the money and looks great.

This the the first X-QPack 2 I have used and it is the quietest case I have used. I is running my 2 Light Scribe DVD's, Gigabite MOBO, Intel E5200, 4GB ram, tarabite HDD, and 250GB HDD, without the case temp going over 100 degrees F. I would recomend this case to everyone, and I will be using them for a lot more builds.

I like the case. Unfortunately the CPU temp sensor didn't work on mine. The thing is quite as a mouse. It comes with two fans that run off Molex connectors. The mother board tray slides out which is nice. The shell can be ridiculously hard to get back on. Ill probably try a different mATX next time. Tiger needs to offer a wider selection in this area.

I just finished a build using this case. This is simply one of the best cases I have worked with. The overall fit and finish was excellent and it came with the best assembly guide I have ever worked with. Yes, the case is a little tight to work with for someone with big hands like me. But, the slide out MOBO tray is a great touch. The 500W PS tested perfect before I installed the components and has been flawless. This case is small, lite, and takes up very little space for you with small work areas. Biostar mATX MOBO, AMD 64X2, 2GB Corsair RAM. The included fans are all that you need for cooling. Front controls are solid and the CPU & HDD temp gauges are a nice touch. For someone with a small work area, this is an ideal case. BUY ONE! Thanks Tiger!

Love this case! Used it for my first build. Running a 3.oghz Core 2 Duo, 2 gig Corsair XMS, and 1 gig vid card. Box running at under 25 degrees since I turned it on!!! Great air flow and excellent reach for all of the cables. Micro ATX board left 3 inches extra space for flow up front. Slide out MoBo tray easily comes in and out.
