GIGABYTE gz-ph2a3 Black Computer Case

Comment:
Looks Nice, solid, fantastic "MicoATX" Case. The space from the back of the case to the drive bayes is smaller sized than is needed to install and ATX mother board. To get it in you have to get rid of the case fan as nicely as the heat sink and then place it in at and angel. but the mobo I have has the sata ports blocked by the drive bays. opportunity of fitting a video card in this. only get for a micro ATX board with no GPU.

Stylish style, massive adequate for a 2-3 SLI/Crossfire setup.Can be utilized as a mirror? Extremely cheaply made, the side door bends in your hand, i am not joking. The front of the case is locked on so tight i am afraid to take away it lead to it may possibly break the brackets that hold it on. And i checked there are no clamps to push on to release the front panel.Zero cable management i mean none. I purchased an APEX case identical cost as this and it had holes behind the motherboard to rearrange wires within the case, even had cable tie places. This is solid, no cable arrangement holes anywhere.Motherboard pins are separately installed. I hate this. At times when you screw in a screw with these "self install" screw pins the screw will get locked in and unscrew the pin from the case instead of the screw from the motherboard.Had a push out I/O shield? What is the point of that?CD ROM/DVD areas have a case flap on them like most manufacturer instances today have, i do not thoughts this but what i do thoughts is when that button gets jammed every single time i press it...No HD Audio in Front USB are 1. i am not kidding. Windows 7 keeps popping up "This device can carry out more quickly in a USB 2. port" So that suggests its 1. which is total lunacy! Get a USB hub guys, your going to want it.Microphone/Headphones in front is a joke you have to replug/wiggle the ports each and every half minute result in it will cancel out the microphone or drop one of your speakers. And to top rated it off the ports are two.1 channel.Power led? Mine came DOA, went to radio shack and bought a replacement...2 of the expansion slots had been bent out of the case on arrival, no clue what happened but i had to straighten them out.General: I would not suggest this unless your just buying a affordable case to slap some parts in. If your looking for some thing that will last, look about devote the additional dollar.I have bought APEX, TT, NZXT, Antec situations and now GB and it will be my final. The others talked about are genuinely good!I gave it two stars cause it was a steel box to place my parts in and make a working

Cheap, fashionable, compact, lightweight. Expansion slots are punchouts.

Sleek, shiny, and fairly roomy. Zero complications with motherboard installation, dvd drive went in smoothly IF place in prior to the power supply. (unless your powersupply is not low-cost, mine was with outside fan produced it hard) No difficulties with screws stripping standoffs or any other troubles that had been stated. None actually for 20$ i cannot assume of a valid complaint. Metal is a small thin on this one particular nevertheless if it is a workstation create or desktop make i see tiny cause as this becoming an concern. Just don't haymaker the case and you need to be alright. Wonderful deal if you are looking for cost savings on a case, be careful of the powersupply you place in. Money saved from this case can be employed for much better PSU

Quite affordable. Purchased through a special sale. Looks fantastic. Met my needs for this application. The cheapest thinnest case I have ever worked on. Hard to take away backplate bending surrounding places. Came with a "ding" which I was in a position to straighten out with quite little work. I do give this cast a 5 star rating. Let's face it for the price tag I got this for I wouldn't anticipate a gamers case. When all you parts are in spot and the case is closed up no one would know the distinction as to the thickness of this case. I am making use of this case to property some older parts. It was a great decision for this application.

Price tag. Lots of space for internal drives. Has good air flow for a case of this cost range. I like the gloss black finish on the front. Side panels remove to let correct mounting of drives. I don't like the expansion bay covers in the rear of the tower. You have to bend them back and forth to break them loose, in undertaking this I bent the metal among two of the bays, not a big deal genuinely. The front does fingerprint fairly simple, but that's expected. I have two of these instances I utilized for computer's at my workplace. I really like the appear of the instances, they are not over the major techy, just sleek and expert. I've not had any troubles with the drive door catching, and I use the disc drive generally (lite on dvd drives) One particular of the psu's 黼w) I'm utilizing comes fairly close to the dvd drive. There is only about 1 inch amongst the PSU and the DVD drive, which produced the plugs a little hard to connect. Other 1 is fine 鸠w).

-I paid ว for this situation with totally free shipping-Very light in weight-Comes with rear vent fan-Little-Side panel fits smoothly (problem sometimes with cheap instances)-Fairly attractive -Situation is NOT typical mid tower-MicroATX Gigabyte motherboard barely fits in situation-Case does not come with adequate standoffs-Rear vent fan had dented IDE pin-Comes with one particular missing PCI metal slot-No PCI covers if you make a decision later to eliminate a card-PSU hangs a bit (not well supported by situation/screws I guess I'm not supposed to complain considerably about a case for which I spent ว. Still, I've had ฮ situations with substantially superior good quality and durability. I would advocate this situation to somebody searching for a case among the size of a mini and mid size tower or for extreme budget builds.I would give it four eggs if it came with twice as many standoffs.

Priced so low on sale I don't know how they can sell them. Extremely fundamental situation but it looks like a additional costly one. Exterior is sleek with the gloss black front and the hidden DVD drive bay. I have built with better instances but thay are all a tiny different. Energy button is nicely lit and the USB and audio inputs on the front aren't down on the floor. Mine arrived damaged and it took some time to get it straightened. In way even so the thin steel made that significantly less difficult. Looks like it got dropped along the way. Not the first time that I got a damaged case and the other people have been additional costly. On sale for ฤ.00 and no cost delivery. We purchased this at the workplace even even though we didn't will need it. It was so inexpensive we just kept it waiting for a new construct to come up.If this wasn't damaged on arrival I would have given it 5 eggs for this price tag point (ONLY for this value). On an general rating of what I have skilled so far in instances I would obtain much more at this price point.

Comment:
The value AND free shipping, what additional could you want. The situation was extremely light weight steel and plastic, but I expected that with the value so low. Fantastic case for c heap builds. I am using this for a folding@home rig. Perfect for the kind of construct thAT JUST SITS QUIETLY ON A SHELF DAY Immediately after DAY, FOLDING AWAY.

Comment:
Great price tag, fairly excellent high quality. Ought to have come with additional standoffs for mounting the motherboard, came with 6 and I required eight for my ATX motherboard. I have a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI motherboard, had to take out the only fan that came with the case to get the motherboard in, heh, snug but excellent fit! Quite tight on the wire routing but I don't know if its a lot of a con. Im only purchased this situation simply because I'm putting a new personal computer ( my old one particular ) with each other for my dad. Merry Christmas.

Comment:
Solid little case for the cost. Managed to squeeze a Gigabyte P55-UD3L and a double slot 8800 GTS video card I had laying about to construct the wife a new box. A bit cramped for a bigger motherboard/computer setup. The moment you get a video card, DVD burner and tricky drive in there there's not area for much else. Whilst I wouldn't use this size situation for an SLI rig or anything with a lot of add-in cards due to the cramped space, for a straightforward rig, it tends to make for a great modest, but nonetheless pretty beefy computer system that's straightforward to move around or fit in a smaller computer system desk setup.

Comment:
Excellent case, appear a lot additional high priced than what it is, incredibly classy and roomy. None

Comment:
Excellent Situation for its cost nothing flimsy very light. Black oval in the front of case lights up great None Every little thing i putt in it was incredibly nicely fit organized Will Buy Again

I have to say that the organization finish of this situation is slick and shiny. Incredibly handsome. I needed a case that was not as long as most and this fit the bill nicely.Great and light in weight,and very good fit and finish. Flimsy, to say the least,but I knew it would be. There are some sharp edges as well so take care. Front grill location for fan is paper thin. Mine would not power up mainly because Gigabyte forgot to solder one particular of the leads on the energy switch. Of course it was assembled when I discovered this out,and removal of the bezel is not fun. Also felt some give in metal when installing things on MB. Nicely it was quite low-cost and I had read the evaluations. It was about the size for me. This is in an cabinet and fits nicely. It does what it is supposed to do and it looks fantastic doing it. Not a gaming platform,but holds a micro atx and related hardware.Just added an egg lead to I realized that I knew its shortcomings ahead of time and got what I payed for.

Keeps personal computer parts from getting scattered on the ground.Cost Poor style. The face has screws holding it into place. Tends to make adding drives a discomfort. LED and other cables are attached to the face. Fundamentally the front face is tethered to the motherboard. Bad case,=, but it does what's required.

Comment:
Mid-tower situation with Mini tower really feel (not too large for a smaller board)Plugs for front audio and USB are single plugs as an alternative of separate plugs for every wire.Came with good standoffs (brass hunting instead of plastic)Clean look even with blue (and red) led energy buttonCase comes with tiny fan that can be effortlessly moved to the side for far better air flow. This case is extremely light and the metal feels type of thin. This really should be ok if you don't strategy to go in and out of the case extremely usually. Offered it's price I seriously can't complain. I genuinely like this case. I would purchase an additional. My only concern (if any) is that is is not as deep as my other mid tower situation so if I necessary space for a substantial video card it may possibly be a problem. Because I don't have one and have no intent on finding one that is not a difficulty.

Comment:
Not a poor situation for only ุ. It offers all the fundamentals; blue LED that lights up, two usb's and two audio jacks built in. I love the situation. There is a lot of space for your parts but acquiring them in can be a trick. When utilizing this situation i suggest you put in your bay drives, challenging drives 1st before installing the motherboard. it's a tight fit when attempting right after. but their is a lot of room for a modest develop. So no significant graphics cards. I don't like the truth the audio jacks don't function (hence the four eggs) great for your typical builder and fantastic for lower powered computers. I can't see a truly big power supply or motherboard going it.

Comment:
Affordable, effortless to perform on with mATX motherboard. Flip-down door on optical drive tray interferes with my drive a tiny bit, but it is no massive deal. I agree with the reviewers who suggest this situation for a mATX motherboard only. Looks like it would be a discomfort to fit a full size ATX board in there. Also, the situation only came with sufficient standoffs to install a mATX board. Some of these were brass and some were plastic.I applied this case to assemble a personal computer out of parts from my junk bin, and I would use this situation once more. Use a few of these for your SETI farm.

it looks nice and the finish is good. the metal situation is soooo thin and low-cost it wasnt even funny. i felt undesirable lead to i did a custom construct for my moms buddy and i didnt know this case was so low-cost feeling. i would have got another case if i would have recognized this situation was this horrible. but it does appear good for a inexpensive case.

Impact case for cheep a lot of space to operate and good for a budget construct With the low cost value comes flimsy side panels and sharp edges so just don\'t forget you get what you pay for this is on par with numerous of the cheeper rosewell instances you see

Comment:
- Low price tag- Sufficient room for larger elements- Build top quality is superior than expected for the value - Feet are unstable- Tight fit if you have a massive video card. Not a poor case for the income. I had to bend some metal about the hard drive cage to make my GTX285 fit in. I have two challenging drives and would not be in a position to add any much more due to the GTX285 taking up actual estate. If you aren't going to be gaming on your personal computer, this would be a excellent case for you. Otherwise, be prepared to do some modifications to make stuff fit.

Came with necessary screws and so on, Has a 80mm fan, smooth front and neat dvd tray. Only SATA Dvd/cd drives will fit in the drive bay otherwise it will touch the psu and have no space for cables.Priced dropped by half immediately after buying? Bought for a price range build and fit superb.

Comment:
Great size, great cost, fantastic construction, options, comes with fan, usb front x2, front sound, lights, two door air inlets for 25 bucks shipped this is seriously a no brainer. got 2 for a matching set for stuffing components into keeping the upgraded amd and intel out of boxes off the floor. nice. none. buy two you will regret it if you don't

Lightweight; some cable management ability; it's not ugly Though it is compatible with ATX motherboards, the chassis is as well smaller to comfortably fit a single, although you can if you seriously try (I even had to take out the fan to get it to fit). It's clearly meant for mATX motherboards.The hard drive bay also feels affordable, and the hard drives stick out a lot, even further minimizing the amount of space you have. On top of that, the screws provided with the chassis don't work with the bay. Almost certainly a fantastic chassis if you have a mATX motherboard, but it'll be annoying and cramped if you have a ATX one. Most likely my own fault for not seeking at the measurements of it much more cautiously, although.

Comment:
About the smallest case you can acquire for a complete size ATX board. Lightweight and comes with a fan. I probably would have offered this 5 eggs had the metal not been so thin exactly where the screws fasten. I don't have an problem with thin metal, but you will need metal that's thick enough to accept a screw and not strip out. I stripped out three screw holes (a standoff, a slot hole and a case screw) while putting barely any torque on the screwdriver. Additionally, the breakaway plate that covers the ports (keyboard, mouse, USB, and so on) was already removed, but was twisted off, rather than being flexed back and forth. Superficial, but looks amateur. Unless you are in need to have of a case that is smaller and you're stuck with a fullsize ATX board, I would prevent this case.
