Apevia X-Gear w/420w PS [Black]

Comment:
Its Bright Blue. Its a mid tower case so not a complete lot of space but it gets the job performed. Power suply was a little, Cheap, flimsy. Doesnt support Sata.

Comment:
The case came incredibly properly-packaged, it has straight-forward wiring for intermediate builders, and it looks somewhat sharp when it is lastly built. Apevia builds particularly inexpensive solutions, but this case is actually above-par to their high quality.The fan grills are remarkably hideous.There had been no instructions for beginners to commence creating without intensive research.It is extremely encouraged that you replace the fans promptly right after purchase. As often, shipping was an A+.

read other thoughts read other thoughts I was unable to energy on my system with this case due to a defective energy button switch, this dilemma occurred when I employed the stock PSU and when I applied an ePower PSU. The cables for the front USB ports and front audio jacks were not compatible with my motherboard (who utilizes mini-jacks for front audio cables?). UPS did a "bang up" job of delivering this item on time, literally, since the situation arrived with one of the optical drive bezels damaged (it would not remain close and it was scratched), and the rear case panel was bent out of alignment with the rest of the situation. But what I seriously can't comprehend is why the situation arrived devoid of an owner's manual. I am RMA'ing this situation for a refund. :(

I've had this thing more than two years and the energy supply is operating good. Lots of room for HD's and the case is incredibly solid. The front USB's wouldn't work, but I assume it may be my mother board. I'm running a P4 w/HT, 2 case fans, 3 HD's and the power supply has no issues

Wonderful sturdy nice case, good price. Would deff. recommend this case. None

Very good PSU for becoming included in a case. Case looks terrific, wonderful choice of fans, alien grill is a great touch, and LEDs are good seeking and not also vivid. Case acquires fingerprints very easily, and has ugly constructed-in CD drive panels for two out of the 4 bays. I only installed 1 optical drive, and am half thinking of shopping for a affordable DVD-ROM just to take out the 2nd panel. Rosewill tends to make a case virtually identical to this that I bought for a build for a buyer. I discovered this case right after that develop, and purchased it for myself because it has a much better-placed 3rd fan, simply because of the alien grills, and since the power supply seemed a little far more reputable. So far I've been quite happy with my choice.

Extremely good hunting case, solid and nicely built. Power supply is excellent so far, have not employed it for extended even though. External bay doors are great, but it is a quite tight fit to get your typical CD-ROM drive in them. Had to bend the metal tabs and file down the sides of the ROM to get it to fit. Overall I am very pleased with this case, a really fantastic get for the income.

Was working fine for a handful of months Energy provide fried whilst idle. If you want to get this case I suggest getting a new PSU as well, or get a dif case with a superior stock fan

I have owned this case for 4 Years - Still Running Robust! Zero Failures, Very good Construction. Excellent Looks, Nice Space. Longevity. Four YEAR OLD Style! Not so considerably a Con, but also not a Pro. The "Air Engineering" on this case is a tiny out-dated. Two 80mm Intake Fans in the Front, 1 80mm Intake fan in the Window (Over the CPU) A single 80mm Exhaust at the leading, and A single 120mm Exhaust out the back.If you are creating a Gaming Rig, I would go no reduce than 120mm Fans. 80mm Fans just don't move adequate air, and if they do, they are louder than their 120mm counterparts.So as I talked about, the airflow is... enough - but out-dated. You ought to have a 120mm in the front, and if you do have a window intake, it should be 120mm as well and mounted more than the GPU, not the CPU.I upgraded to a 750watt PSU at about year 2.5, not a big PSU - but by about 1ǘ inch it blocks the leading exhaust, so have absolutely nothing there now. Old PSU did not fail, its in a different process now. And at the time of purchase was just 350watt. In some of the photographs, it shows Two 80mm fans at the exhaust. This is not correct. The Case has One particular 120mm Fan for Exhaust.SPECS:AMD Athlon X2 6000+ @ 3.0ghz3GB RamGeForce 9800 GTX+ Video

This is a very good sturdy case, not as well flimsy and the lights are awesome, they all worked wonderful!! None seriously, apart from PSU, but you can anticipate substantially from a stock case PSU anyways. Good price tag. Fan grills are cool, and the fans light up. :)

I bought this case for my former secondary Pc. It had 6600GT and AMD 64 3500+. But now this rig was upgraded to Intel E6700ʃ.2GHz, Geforce 8800GT and 2 HDDs. It nonetheless handle this hot spec. Yesterday, my VGA's temperature hit 85 degree C and monitor screen showed a lot of horizontal lines. Immediately after lowering temperature, it was fixed. But this important issue is caused by its little space. Air flow is not fantastic for gamers. Hold this case for workplace worker, it will be fine.

None Each aspect of this item is affordable. The power supply failed after a week of use. One particular day, the fans and disks had been spinning but the laptop or computer would not boot up. I went to a nearby dealer for a high end replacement and my computer booted proper up. The style looks attractive, but the top quality is low. Everything bolts on okay. The leds on the front are rediculously bright and focused like a flashlight. My eyes hurt even when seeking at them from the side. The finish is nice, but you have to take extra unique care due to the fact it can effortlessly be scratched. The bos arrive with a huge hole in the side, but I'm a soldier stationed in South Korea, so some damage is to be anticipated. The situation was not damaged even though. The bay covers are not interchangable, I imply that if you place your dvd rom on the bottom, the empty bay covers will not snap into the best bays, only the bottom two bays. This can be fixed with a utility knife. DO NOT purchase this product. A tiny added will go a extended way in this scenario, trust me.

Uncomplicated to put with each other and modular design Only the window side of the situation makes use of the thumb screws, seems kinda affordable not use the extra 4 for the other side. Effortless to assemble for beginner Computer builders. Don't forget to get the fan for the rear of the case!

420W power supply is decent. Quite LEDs. Lots of areas for fans Ɩ -- a single on the door, 1 up best, two on the back and 2 by the tough drive chassis / front panel) Cheesy alien grills for the box, LEDs on front panel went bad (after three years, so thats forgiveable), cheesy faux metal grills for optical drive bays - they only give you 2 plain bay covers which isn't valuable if you only go with one particular optical drive because you'll have a fake cover over an empty bay, if you use 2 fans behind the HDD chassis you will run into complications mounting more than one HDD with no having a drive stick out over the motherboard, front panel USB/audio connection cover effortlessly comes off if in use (I just detached the cover simply because I use this for my gaming headset) This case has been solid by means of and by way of. I purchased it in 2004 and have been very impressed with it. When it initially came, the front panel was damaged, but Newegg was good and sent me a new panel appropriate away. The large query is...would I get this situation again? Basic answer is yes...BUT when I purchased this case it was one particular of the handful of in its price tag range (ุ). Given that the value has essentially gone up, I'd possibly have to shop around, but I would have no dilemma going back to this 'ol dependable situation once again if it was best option.

Very solid situation, nice color, came with fans. Was larger than I believed it would be but no major deal. Powersupply isn't gonna be enough for some men and women. This was my initially order off of Newegg and I am really satisfied. I haven't gotten the chance to essentially put this case to use yet but I'll update when I do use it. Newegg and UPS is wonderful =)

Wonderful air flow. Lovely look devoid of becoming obnoxious. All fans nonetheless operating. Only one particular fan LED died, no major deal. All front LEDs operating fine. Situation paint doesn't scratch quickly. Can get dusty effortlessly, but I have in no way noticed a case that wouldn't. A single of the most well constructed instances I have employed. Power supply that came with it looked like junk. I knew this prior to I bought it. I have never purchased a situation w/ PSU that I have kept.Side situation fan is loud. I have tried it as intaek and exhaust. Still loud. If I cover it with my hand, noise level cuts in half. May well not be the fan itself but all the components. If you are not worried about this fan, just take away it and uncover a thing that covers it. I did not.Fans don't light up inside well. I bought a small neon strip and mounted by the rear vent. Lights great now. I have the version with the 120mm fan in the rear. And I place 1 in by the same manufacture. When plugging in devices for power, keep all your fans on 1 wire and your LEDs on some other. I had the front LEDs on the very same strip as the fans and two of them dimmed. May well have been a connection difficulty but when I rewired every thing I put them on the very same as my CD and DVD drives. No dim now.Has spot upfront for two 60mm fans to blow on your HDs. Didn't seriously see a point due to the fact the fron was so covered. Figured it would be overkill.I have had mine for 3 or four years now. Each and every the moment in a while I take some canned air to it and after a year I really clean it out well which includes fans.OS: Windows Vista Home Premium x64CPU/MoBo: AMD Opteron 165 / Chaintech Ultra nForce4Memory: 4 x 1GB Mushkin HP DDR400HDs: 2x320GB Seagate SATAII in RAID0Video Card: PNY GeForce 9800GT PCI-Ex16Media: Sony CD-RW, Sony DVD-RWPSU: Ultra X-Finity 600W PSU

This is a fantastic situation for the casual user developing a simple budget program and wants a little "flare" out of their situation. The case is great for these out there that like to add lights and all that great stuff. The rear case fan opening holds a 120mm fan which is a large plus for cooling and maintaining the noise down as well. Also, situation does come with a power provide, nonetheless it is nothing at all special and would not be suitable for a high powered technique. Lots of internal space and lots of space for dvd/cd drives, two of which have covered plates for hiding the drive behind. The create quality is somewhat inexpensive. I was expecting this so not genuinely a huge deal. I assume the largest upset was the energy supply. I could not uncover any genuine specifications on it when searching at the situation on newegg. The PS does not have any sata power connections, so adapters will need to be employed. It is just a low-cost PS that will operate for a price range build. Good situation for the price with space to upgrade in.

Nice case LED lights a postive for this customer.So every little thing was as expected. No SATA power on the with this power provide. No huge deal but would be great to have had that.

Comment:
Inexpensive in 2004 = ุ.00Came with a energy supply (even if it was a dud) After about two yrs of use the PSU died and burnt the PCB on my hard drive. I had to buy a new tough drive and a new power provide which produced me angry!!Ahead of the incident I was obtaining issues with the Computer shutting off all the time. So preserve a watch on it! My initially construct and it came out pretty very good. I nonetheless have the case with a ne PSU but Im not at present using it.

Comment:
Incredibly good hunting case. Lots of area, removable motherboard tray, cool fans and nice paint job. Was uncomplicated to assemble and is holding up fantastic. Lights look pro - situation is all about impressive when you maintain the wiring job clean. As stated, the front audio jacks have to be wired to the back output ports. Not that large of a hassle for me though because my speakers have their personal jack. With the dollars I saved getting this case I got a genuine energy supply.

Comment:
this is a incredibly very good situation, roomy anything u will ask for looks, space, u get wat u paid for and a lot more nicely very first off to the reviewers below me please ur rating the case not the powersupply, which gets my to my next point the power supply in my case was excellent and lasted me till i got a bettter one particular, one other thing u want to throw away is the case fans they move alot of air but their noisy and noise gets this case and if ur gonna have noisy elements this situation isnt for u properly i really like this case, all i did was transform the energy supply in which every person with computer system expertise knows psus that came with circumstances arent genuinely great, and right after replacing the fans with artic cooling ones and the artic cooling 64 pro, and some few mods, this situation is worth it for wat u spend, i have performed nearly almost everything to this case, from painting to drill holeing and i can do a lot more proper now i have a lcd taking up the two optical drive bays and i changed the blue leds to red and its one hell of a good looking case, but watch out this situation gets scratched very easily, ived already gotten a few scrated on it, but other than that its 1 case that ill preserve for a long time and prob i decide to get the TT armor but for now ill feel this case is enough it fit a 8800gts,4800x2,2gb crosair xms ram,raidmax psu,two plextors,and alot of mods ***** out ****** in my book

Comment:
Nice cooling. Power supply functions fine. Incredibly fantastic purchase for the price tag! The energy provide died on me following 4 years. I wasn't actually positive if I really should contact that a pro or con, I imply hey, 4 years doesn't seem that undesirable to me.

This situation is pretty sturdy if you are employing as a computer need to be used for. I like the way it looks, I have had 2 motherboards, changed out four distinct DVD burners, and have managed to retain the case clean and dent/damage cost-free from 4 diverse moves. Good situation if you treat it right. The top left LED light has gone dim and I broke the latch towards the bottom with the vac cleaner by accident, so I removed it. I didn't think about that damaging the case due to the fact I really did not like the USB ports possessing a cover. Thats about it. I got this case for like 40 bucks, so I am not complaining about the situation. I knew what I was buying and I was on a price range back then. I would do it all more than yet again. This situation has been good to me. The only factor I did differently was I kept my energy supply from the case prior to this one particular, becuase it was a 450w 1.

This is a quite sturdy situation. Trustworthy energy supply. Looks fantastic. Dont pass this case up! Front situation light are fairly vibrant. Unplug them if you program to leave the method on and sleep in the exact same space.
