APEX TX- 381 Black Computer Case

Comment:
Great case... clean appear A small tall for a MicroATX. The top rated/front USB cable wasn't long enough to reach the connector on the bottom of the Motherboard. Other then that it's fine For me.. I got the MSI P6NGM-FD and the motherboard's power connector is in the same place as the top rated two internal three.five bays.

Manage on the leading is nice. Overall design is easy and stylish... As sophisticated as โ with a energy supply. Metal is thin and the case panels dent very easily.Over the years they must have switched suppliers for the front side USB cable pigtail to motherboard. The cable is too short to reach most motherboard USB connectors (they are usually situated at the bottom of the motherboard). If you have a aftermarket graphics card strategy on cutting the case roof from the inside and cross your fingers its lengthy adequate.Some of the edges are sharp in the cage area for the CDROM and hard drive. If you program on tucking cables into an open bay watch your fingers and the cable so you don't shave the sheild on the cables. PS I personal 2 of these instances a single I bought like three years ago and one particular a few days ago.

This case has a sturdy deal with (I haul it back and forth to school a lot), adequate room for three HDD and my Sapphire 3870 (it was tight but it produced it), and the case is overall incredibly challenging. I had no intention of utilizing the PS that came with it doesn't appear very promising so I wouldn't count on it to help significantly. The power button is a little "shaky" and the situation has no thumb screws but every thing works. For this cost it is effectively worth the few minor dificulties.

Received the case in fantastic condition. Delivers plenty of hard drive space for a micro atx case. Deal with is Quite handy to have and really sturdy!!! Specifications on the fans was wrong. I went to there site and it supplied the right information. Rear supports 80mm or 90mm. The side can be utilized as an 80mm. The front supports 120mm or 80mm. Newegg says it doesn't but it does. Other that great cooling layout. General final product was excellent, sturdy situation. Comes with wimpy 300watt PSU. Good cooling answer, a lot of space for the size.

Where to start... Initial of all, the form issue is nice. I smaller micro ATX tower with a deal with... I really like it.Requires a complete ATX power supply and also is wide adequate to fit a larger heat sink on my video card... I enjoy it.Panels a nicely painted black..Quite straightforward assembly and far more drive slots than I'll ever user. I nice small pas through to 2 usb ports, an audio, and mic port on best... I like it.Nicely ventilated.So all round I'm pretty happy. nevertheless, there are lots of small things that lower this case from getting an otherwise classic wonderful 1 of the finest circumstances of all time situation, which I guess must be expected in this price range.First of all, the PCI slot covers break out. Permanently. If I ever swap a PCI card to a unique machine, I could be stuck with an open and exposed slot. Standard slot covers instead of break-out ones would have been much greater.With regard to the power button and front panel connectors: I wish they used some sort of disconnectable connector rather of becoming glued in place, which appears kinda low cost. Also wish the cpu fan intake tube was a small far more solidly produced.Also, the manage is obviously forward of where the center of gravity will be unless you're putting in tons of drives. It could have carried out with being a bit additional back.Overall, I'd favor this case to have had a small much more focus to detail and not come with a power provide. General I like this situation quite a bit. I just want they'd performed that small bit further to push it towards greatness.

It's a simple situation The manage on best is plastic, and has started to make a annoying buzzing sound from the typical situation vibration. I will have to take it apart and attempt to put some foam under it to quiet it down.

Smallish MicroATX case with decent construction. A lot of ventilation after you add a 120mm fan in the front, a 90mm fan in the back and an 80mm fan in the side panel. Fits 4x3.5in HDDs in the internal bays and you can cram two a lot more in the external three.5 bays if you wanted to (no cooling even though). Good sturdy deal with and fits full-sized cards and a complete-sized ATX energy supply. This situation is wonderfully layed out... Was not expecting that for the value. Side panels are a bit flimsy and the top USB to motherboard cable is brief. It barely fits on my ASUS P5K-VM board. I tossed the power supply (planned on this when buying) and bought a decent 600W (with a 120mm fan to help ventilation) as I overclock and program on moving to a quad-core in this situation later. I also tossed the included situation fan as I'm extremely picky about sound. Cabling in constantly enjoyable in a MicroATX situation... Know what you are obtaining oneself into if you like "hiding" your cabling. Due to the tight space in a MicroATX environment, I'd advise employing only SATA cabling to maintain good airflow.

Got this situation to build my girlfriend a new computer. Surprisingly roomy and sturdy for the price. Great deal with tends to make it uncomplicated for her to move it about. A truly great deal. Sharp metal parts on the inside, but thats what you expect for the cost. I strategy to acquire a different one particular of these to setup a media pc for a friend. Def. recommend these situations.

Good airflow, nice style. The deal with on top rated is strong, this would be an excellent gamers box. Most edges inside are rolled, so it's somewhat secure on the hands. I scraped my knuckles on anything, but I don't know if it was this situation or not. As others have mentioned, the cables to the usb and sound on the front panel are a bit short... I was capable to plug them in to my MB, but it was close.

Comment:
Great little case for the price. I'd be cautious about the handle with all the HDD slots filled. Very spacious inside and can handle very long cards!

Comment:
Effortless fit, plenty of room to perform with. excellent case general. usb cables at the top of the case are tricky put attainable to fit at the bottom end of the motherboard. good situation for the worth, ive purchases two already and on the way to a third!

Fantastic situation size. Not as flimsy as other folks comment. Not heavy at all.Manage and usb/headset connectors on prime are good and permit to preserve machine on floor. four internal three.5 HD was a different promoting point to me. Rear 92mm fan is quite quiet.The Power provide is usable as extended as you do not push it also difficult. It works with my Foxcomm G45M-S motherboard, E8400 CPU, 2nd Ethernet card, 1 DVD RW Drive and two Sata Drives. The adjustable air intake funnel directs fresh air right to the CPU coolerThe cables for the leading connectors had been long adequate for this motherboard and reached the plugs fine. No issues there at all.I genuinely like this case. The little door that covers the connectors at the leading arrived with 1 side broken. I can still close it but because I preserve it open all the time, no eggs taken. I will replace the power provide for far more strong 1 but I will preserve this one particular as an emergency backup due to the fact it has established to perform with my setup. Working with the stock power provide I have run prime95 for 12 hours with the CPU overclocked to 3.four GHz with no errors.

Performs great-handle seems solid-very good price tag. Also located you can take away the side vent plastic funnel and stick a 80mm fan on. USB cords tight to run-sheet metal is what you would count on on a situation this price Got this to LAN celebration with- its good-actual sleeper, packed it with some go rapidly parts, but kept it light and uncomplicated-as opposed to my last situation that was to heavy and had to quite a few extras not necessary for LAN, just throw the seatbelt about it and go.

I bought a couple of these cases to use for a DVR CCTV system. These units will be moved about a bit...so the deal with is a extremely good point to have. Installation was effortless, absolutely nothing was as well close. I am extremely pleased with this product. None so far.

The caseis modest, light, every little thing fit and the power supply is nonetheless operating three months later. The motherboard that I utilized had the board USB header on the bottom rear and the USB cable was a half inch short. I had to use needle nose pliers to pull the cable out of the clip in the leading of the case. I was able to get the added half inch, but cable is tight across all of the slots, so I can't plug in any cards, great issue the motherboard has anything this develop needed. make sure the USB header is at least in the bottom middle or greater, so the cable can reach for the best usb ports.

This item is really good good quality good price worth it

Situation is easy to operate with. No hassles obtaining stuff installed. Good price. Allied 300 watt PS was DOA. I employed to truly like Allied, but they've gone down hill lately (I've had various DOA's in the past year). Wish the case companies would raise the value 10 bucks to get a better PS like a FSP.

Simple to perform with I was in a position to install 120mm fan in front no challenge. Front ports are easy to access. Stays extremely cool with the extra fan added. Has plenty of slots for tough drives. USB connector is a tight stretch if motherboard connector is on the bottom of motherboard like mine. Most are on the bottom even though from my expertise main problem was the video card. Even without having it even though was nevertheless shorter than I would like it to be. I had a different PS 480w to put in the 300w may well be low if adding a video card with higher power specifications.

Will this case can hold my Dell Dimension 4600 motherboard? none

Extremely good SFF case. Nicely built and really like the deal with. Plus the leading usb and audio ports are as well cool! none

Cost. Getting this issue with the 300W PSU was way less costly than shopping for a inexpensive case and a low-cost PSU seperately. For the price, it is a extremely eye-catching seeking case, and the deal with on the best is wonderful. Some have complained that it's plastic, but I place all my stuff in the case, gave it a great shake, and the handle did not so substantially as creak. It's solid. Some might complain about the PSU, but I have no troubles and 300W is additional than enough for a really basic build. For more complex develop, buy a better case. If you wanna save money while nevertheless searching excellent, this is the way to go.Also, the front panel was quite straightforward to take off, but is nevertheless solid when on. This is a massive plus for installing a front intake fan, which is generally a discomfort on other cases.Also, it came with good documentation. A little dent on the side cover, but hardly noticable. Almost everything else is wonderful, specially thinking of what I paid. Placing it with each other was a breeze. I dunno what else to say.

Enjoy the Handle.Is Affordable.Has Best Door For USB and Audio. I ordered this case due to the fact one more case the similarfirm tends to make that Appears Identical was discontinued.But Its not identical, its a lot lighter which isnt a challenge but the cables that come from the USB header at the best of the case are to brief to reach exactly where most motherboards have the connector.I just ordered an internal USB extension cable which with shipping adds ฟ to the price tag of this case.Also the 300 watt power supply is a full waste ofweight when they ship it. Ive usually pulled them out and I doubt I'll even be able to sell them on auction, but the price tag of the case is affordable even with out the PS. Note to APEX : Sell this devoid of a PS and lengthen the USB cable.

I used this case for my brothers computer, and not only is it super compact, it also has a handle for when we need to book it out of the house during a code red/ fire. Nice design but cheaply made.

Carrying manage is fantastic, looks fairly fantastic. Additional port place on top-front is quite easy when Computer is on floor or low shelf. Actually requirements 120mm intake fan in front (not included), a little flimsy, a bit smaller and narrow. Included PSU doesn't make a really great paperweight and it's not substantially excellent for something else. Acquire a actual PSU. Don't danger your hardware with affordable PSUs like this one particular. It's shame they don't sell this case without a PSU. I utilized an OCZ 500W rather.

Nice style, great air flow, fantastic sturdy manage, fits a 120mm fan in front of the tough drive bay, and the vents more than the CPU and PCI slots are lined up perfectly. This case will very easily fit soon after market video card coolers! USB cable connecting the front panel to the motherboard is a bit brief (shorter than the audio cable, figure that one particular out). It barley connected to my mobo ahead of I place my graphics card in and it didn't even come close afterwards. However I do admit that my mobo only has two USB headers and both are along the really bottom of the board. If you have a USB header in the middle or near the leading of your mobo then you will have no challenge. I am going to fix this with a ฝ front panel three.five" drive. The audio cable is lengthy enough to reach with some space to spare. The tough drives will overlap your mobo by an inch. This was not a dilemma for me since I have two hard drives and there are 6 bays so I was able to space the drives out so they don’t block something. I can fit 3 challenging drives in the internal bay region and 2 in the external bay area without blocking my major power connector. Went to this case from an awesome Cooler Master Mid Tower since I wanted a thing smaller and my CPU and mobo temps dropped 1.5 to two degrees C just by going into this case and not altering something else. I just may possibly go back and purchase the complete ATX bigger brother of this case. If I had to do it once more I would get the full ATX case. It is only 1.5” taller and no wider or deeper. Routing cables can be a discomfort but that is what you anticipate with a Micro ATX case. I am not making use of the included power provide, I already had a 420W so utilised that 1 since 300W in all probability won’t power my gaming rig.
