LOGISYS Computer CS206BK Black Computer SOHO Case
Comment:
none Can't even use this as a paper weight, it's too flimsy. The front of the case was shattered when it arrived due to plastic so brittle it may well basically be deemed a scientific breakthrough. As for the metal portion of the case, I'm not confident, but it may possibly just be tin foil rolled rolled up just enough to maintain it's shape. It's probable this case was a failed try to get their product aboard the first manned mars mission. It was certainly light sufficient. No RMA for me, not wroth my time. I was making use of this as a server that would be hidden away in a closet so appearance didn't matter, if it did, I would have chosen a better case. I super glued it back together and went with it. I don't use the PS for considerably otherwise I'm sure it'd be fried by now, its just as low cost as the rest of the case. I figure that Newegg or Logisys owes me a case of beer for not RMA'ing the piece of cr@p. Truly Newegg, I can't say cr@p?

it is a nice looking case. 480w psu. and the cost is low-cost. 1st one came smashed beyond belief! no box damage by no means noticed anything like it. one of the worst top quality instances i ever worked withcase has to be modified to fit large graphics cards I required this case for a consumer and i had a deadline of friday. the smashed case showed up thursday afternoon. Newegg rocked my world when the new 1 showed up best much less than 20 hrs later

Motherboard fits, case is solid, adequate power from psu. Really loud power provide fan, particularly annoying. Acquire this if you only want the case, you will most probably want to replace the power supply.

LOGISYS Computer CS206BK Black Computer SOHO Case
Comment:
as inexpensive as a ŭ escort in downtown Akron This case is junk, very first off I received the case in pieces. The front panel fasteners exactly where all broke off. The leading corner was cracked. I perform for a effectively known plastics manufacturer and I know a thing or two about plastics. The polystyrene applied for the front panel is super thin and weak from a poorly designed mold with no reinforcements for sturdiness. The Metal is super factor and flimsy, I feel like I am going to break it everytime I pick it up. You have to get rid of 1 panel just to secure expansion bays for heaven sakes. Stupid design all about. The power provide=not 480w, truly 330w in ideal atmospheric circumstances. This thing is ugly as hell in person. I was attempting to save money on my construct but this set me back ฮ + บ shipping b/c I'll never be happy with it and went ahead and bought a actual case and corsair power supply. You can take your chances but I have a feeling 9 out of 10 of these instances arrive with harm from the poor good quality.

Comment:
You get a case and a energy provide for a low price. I purchased it on sale so it was a bargain. Stylish and functional. Each side panels are straightforward to take away to access the drives. Much easier and less costly than creating a case yourself. This is the lowest excellent case I have ever noticed! Front bezel arrived broken or cracked in 3 locations. The case was out of square. A lot of of the tabs and fittings needed to be bent back into place ahead of they could be applied. The steel for the case is extremely thin and pliable permitting it to warp and flex. The case doesn't use any type of easy mount drive brackets so you have to get rid of both side panel to add, relocate, or eliminate your hard drives. The floppy drive bracket is incredibly challenging access to mount the drive. The energy / HDD LED front panel connectors are labeled appropriately but color coded incorrect. The included fan and front power light demand a IDE Drive power connector. The broken bezel was caused by the case getting out of square. The plastic bezel wasn't in a position to flex sufficient to connect to the case without breaking. The 5.25" drive bay covers would stay in and had been out of alignment mainly because of the warped case / broken bezel. I removed the front panel from the case and then unscrewed the bezel from the panel to glue it back together and reinforce it. On a flat surface such as a table I straightened the case by pushing down on the dilemma areas of the case until it was flat with the table.If I wasn't giving this computer away and the shipping and restocking fee weren't going to be more than the price I paid, I would have returned the case.Overall, the case does the job and even with the work I had to put into it, I got my income's worth out of it.

Comment:
Comes with power provide. Layout is simple to function with. Proper above the leading expansion slot, there is a lip of metal that is type of rolled up. Possibly not an problem most of the time, but it is in the way of the HDMI port on the video card installed. Resolution was to loosen the screws and push the video card down before tightening them back into place. Didn't give significantly leeway. Had to try a couple diverse HDMI cables prior to I identified 1 that could really connect due to the fact of that lip.Case is type of flimsy. First one arrived with front panel broken off, but the replacement was in excellent condition. Besides the tabs that hold the front panel on being broken on the initially case I ordered, the plastic bag that the case is wrapped in throughout shipment from the warehouse was not totally covering the case. This allowed part of the styrofoam packing material to melt onto the front panel of the case. I guess this is much more of a quality control concern with Logisys's packaging department that with the item itself

none given that it was DOA Not only was it DOA, but back I/O Panel was a HASSLE to eliminate.And the piezzo buzzer speaker was missing from the package. taking into consideration i got this for 29.99 and it was DOA PLUS they expected me to pay for shipping it back (would have been 15 dollars) there was no point in returning it. I had already wasted 2 hours developing the program prior to I realized the powerswitch was shorted.

This case is nicely constructed for the price!! The style of it is very good. The blue led in the front grill was some wat of a surprise but i wasn't expecting it in the first spot. This case comes with a lot of room to work with. Didn't come with enough mobo screws. the rear slots on the case were tack welded so right after they come off u get a rough edge and u can't put it back on. For the low price you get a great case and a great psu. 480w was all i needed. Far better than the 250w i originally had.

Pros Adding 1 much more con: the audio header is mis-wired and the front headphone/mic jacks can't be employed. Taking one more egg off for that.-two eggs for bad 80mm fan (cost me ŭ.99 which is 20% of the cost of the case)-1 egg for bad audio jacks on front

LOGISYS Computer CS206BK Black Computer SOHO Case
Comment:
Sturdy design and metal, lots of room, plenty of difficult drive space, tool-much less thumb screws. Back I/O panel is shoddily created and bends when replacing left side cover, front is entirely plastic and quickly snaps, had it a day and when i removed the front panel to install the front fan I snapped two of the 8 retainer pins, also dropped the removable CD/DVD drive cover and shattered it on impact. Front fan is poorly placed if making use of more than two HDD's. All in all not a bad case for the dollars, the stock Logisys 80mm blue fan on it is junk, mine was defective, but you can mount a 120mm on the rear slot so it worked out fairly well. It looks pretty superior for the income and I seriously can't complain due to the fact Logisys is a excellent brand, would definitely acquire it once more if I ever required to, just hope they install a greater rack technique and hopefully enable for a little much more cable management.

LOGISYS Computer CS206BK Black Computer SOHO Case
Comment:
Inexpensive, good for a normal pc build; decent PS Flimsy and low cost construction Not the fault of the case, but UPS is actually hurting newegg with it's low-cost shipping. This is not the initial item I have received damaged, but it was the worst damaged item so far. The box looked to be in decent shap. It was open on leading though, 1 thin piece of tape that looked to have been opened on purpose. When i took the case out, all tabs holding the front of the case on had been broken off and all drive blanks were broken out. It was also badly scratched on the front and completely unusable. Calling newegg now for a replacement due to the fact this pc was wanted by last week and I just got the broken case these days. Quick shipping on all else and I hope newegg does their usual routine of friendly and helpful customer service.

This case is an absolute steal. Comes with a power supply and purchased for under $40. You can't get a better deal through any other website (trust me, I checked!)I'm going to order another one now for a media server pc. Just love this unit!

LOGISYS Computer CS206BK Black Computer SOHO Case
Cons: - Power supply connectors look really cheap- All metal parts on the case are thin- Impossible to remove front panel without breaking the case

Pros: - Cheap- Comes with a power supply- Doesn't look bad
Comment:
You really get what you pay for, 40$ not even on sale for psu + case is incredibly cheap. Well, the power supply connectors are incredibly cheap, the pastic and metal on the case look flimsy and easily breakable (I actually broke the front panel while trying to install a fan there so I install a few screws to keep it in place.I say it's a good product at this price because it just can't be beaten. But I would still pay a bit more to get something better any time from now on.

LOGISYS Computer CS206BK Black Computer SOHO Case
Cons: Power Supply....

Pros: Good basic case
Comment:
This is a very good ultra cheap case! The tin is very thin... but it looks good and does the job nicely. The power supply gave out at the 1.5 year mark though... so either put a new one in after a year... or just toss it right off the bat.

LOGISYS Computer CS206BK Black Computer SOHO Case
Cons: Extremely thin panels, thin drive bays, molex case fan, no speaker

Pros: Price, included power supply, thumb screws
Comment:
It works for a basic computer that you have no intention of moving. The power supply should be adequate for a basic system, I would not suggest it with a mid-high end video card. When screwing drives into the bays the metal of the may itself bends to accommodate. Given the price, I would purchase again for a cheaply built system.

You get what you pay for. Very light case, I used it in a setup for my dad for basic home office. So the cooling is sufficient enough. Didn't have any problems with anything breaking or falling off during install.

LOGISYS Computer CS206BK Black Computer SOHO Case
Cons: -Power supply seems weak but then again I'm using it on a basic build that'd use no more than 250W-Watch for sharp edges; I got it the hard way :(

Pros: -Very light but still seems sturdy-Full-featured-Great value when PM'ed
Comment:
If you read the reviews saying accessories are thrown out all about the case, they're actually ziptied to a hard drive bay. Convenience from Logitech. Extremely great value for a very budget-aware build too.

Pros: Lots of space to work with

Overall, this is a great case for what you pay. The power supply is quiet. The case fan is also quiet and doesn't get dusty easily. I built my own computer with this case and I would use this case again. It was perfect for what i needed

LOGISYS Computer CS206BK Black Computer SOHO Case
Cons: -shoddy construction-power supply lacking adequate sata connectors-not enough fans/bad airflow

Pros: -lightweight-inexpensive-looks decent
Comment:
Got it as part of a Value Bundle. Other poster's comments are true, it's a terrible case, and very cheaply made. It's incredibly lightweight but as soon as you open it up that starts works against you, the metal bending easily.I cut myself trying to pry off the included motherboard sheild. The power supply has alot of molex connectors but only 1 combo sata power connector which means without any adapters on hand you have to have your hard drive and dvd drive right above each other. Taking off the front bezel even once you will feel like it's about to snap in your hands.only 1 80mm is included with mounting areas for a couple more inside the case. There are 3 super bright LEDs for power and HDD activity in the front. a solid low light blue LED is decent looking.ONLY get this if you're forced into it with a value bundle otherwise I'm sure literally anything else will be better.

LOGISYS Computer CS206BK Black Computer SOHO Case
Cons: -EXTREMELY FLIMSY. Would not buy again. I think it twisted in shipping somehow because I had to bend the optical drive cage to make the DVD-RW line up with the bezel...-Crap PSU - it works for the Celeron but do NOT install a dedicated gfx card

Pros: -Looks OK-Gets the job done
Comment:
Bought as part of the $99 NCIX Celeron dual-core bundle to build a much-needed replacement for my mom. I have to say, this is by far the FLIMSIEST case I have ever worked on. I stripped n least 2 of the screws / screw holes putting this thing together (yes even the screws are made out of some cheap metal garbage). Even those with the gentlest of touch will not be able to avoid over-turning the screws on this case.Don't let your cat jump on top of this thing, it might fold!Also, don't leave your window open. It might blow away in the wind!

Cons: Its cheap. Reminds me those bogus props they used in 60's westerns that desintigrated during the saloon brawls.

Pros: Its cheap. You can put a computer in it. If all else fails it'd make a great pinata at an LAN party.
Comment:
Got this as part of a budget package at NCIX. I've upgraded the graphics, PSU (Coolermaster Extreme 500W) and replaced the noisy, inefficient 80mm rear exhaust fan with a 92mm Antec Smartcool and installed a Rocketfish 120mm intake v 1200 rpm up front. Front fan doesn't draw air as much as you'd like due to poor case design but my mods have improved the flow and cooled the GPU considerably.The previous reviewers aren't exaggerating about the flimsiness of this case. Extreme care should be taken while working on this unit as it is made from really light materials. I've had the front panel off twice and have essentially had to rebuild it.This case looks pretty sharp and with care should serve my needs needs for some time but I couldn't possibly recommend it to anyone building a new system.

Had I known the fan noise level, I would have definitely bought another one. I'm replacing the fan. Never mind warranty shmaranty or warnings. Easy to do.By the way, it is a 480W. You have to look under the box top.The salesman should have warned me.
