LOGISYS Computer CS305BK Black Enhanced SOHO Computer Case

Comment:
Affordable, comes with PSU. Comes with a blue fan in the front. Flimsy, the difficult drive cage was broken at the bottom. Power supply is really loud, sounds like a server. It works.... it's loud, but somewhat decent searching.

rolled edges, a lot of room inside to function in, lots of bays for hard drives and optical drives/card readers/audio controls/etc. no hdd access light, PSU is a bit lightweight As others have stated, this is a a lot higher good quality case than i was expecting for around ฮ. Rolled steel edges make working inside secure and simple, and even though it's mostly just stamped steel, the case is surprisingly rigid and stable

Comment:
Less costly then other instances with a excellent adequate power provide to energy quad cores of nowadays. NO RESET BUTTON, Its inexpensive materials I realize, but this issue is incredibily noisy! I built this personal computer to use in my living area as a multimedia computer. IF the noise from the power supply of this case bugs me sufficient from my living area, it will drive you nuts from it being in your area. i regret gettin this case. i woulda rather invest almost twice as considerably for a betta good quality case + a quieter energy supply

Comment:
every little thing operates ok no hd light, kinda lightweight, modest dent in side. not enough to send it back. distance among the two sata power leads forces you to put the DVD drive low and Challenging drive up high.

This case looks sharp, the shiny finish on the outside is a a nice touch. No troubles hooking up the cabling. Very impressive for the cost. Wonderful to use for a ...ahem... unsavy user as the power button is Enormous. Not a major deal, but it would have been nice if it came with a case fan. Also, it needs a 80 or 90mm fan, and there is clearly space that they could have had it accomodate a 120mm fan, that would have been sweet. As I mentioned although, no big deal. See cons.

Comment:
None RMA'd 1st case...stripped out matx standoff holes...2nd case the very same. RMA'd for refund. This is the worst case that I have tried....but I actually didn't get to attempt out simply because of standoff hole matter. Stay away from this case.

The power provide worked nicely enough out of the box.So far? Took the personal computer out of the box and the front panel immediately fell off in pieces, it was entirely shattered. All of the incredibly brittle plastic pieces holding the front on panel on were broken, not just a single or two. The top of the panel was cracked by way of and the 5.25" covers every single had at least a single tab snapped off. Inside the case there was no damage, even so, the five.25" and three.5" slots had poorly aligned screw slots, leaving two tough drives and the dvd burner only able to be secured by 3 screws. The fan power connector had one pin pushed entirely out of the plastic covering, the hole for the pin had been warped and the pin would not remain back in location. I had a deadline to meet and had to assemble anyway. The computer is operating, but the front panel is taped to the side and the front is totally exposed. I am hoping the damage was triggered by shipping, but the snapped 5.25" cover tabs leaves me suspicious that this was packed carelessly or knowingly partially damaged. The external packaging showed no signs of damage, the styrofoam holding the case inside the box was totally intact.I would RMA this, but I necessary this machine online immediately to total a project, and at least I was in a position to do that a lot. The case works for holding components together temporarily I guess. I'm going to want to come across a case locally and move anything subsequent weekend.I was hopeful I could get away with a inexpensive case and devote the cash saved on better internal components, but in the finish this is just going to expense me much more. I don't think I'm going to be able to justify making another Logisys acquire. Even if the damage was caused by shipping, the case and the way it is packaged is just too fragile to trust it would reach the destination in one piece.

This was my initial create case, and as soon as I fit everything together it powered on devoid of a single hiccup. That's got to be worth some thing.-Speedy Newegg Shipping-Unlike other individuals, my case didn't arrive broken-Almost everything fit (barely)-Blue LEDs-Fantastic ventilation with extra fans-Front panel pops off with no screws -Extremely LOUD, extremely HOT, really Inexpensive PSUI can't tension this adequate. As other individuals have said, it's actual rating must be about 330w. I tried to fit about 450w worth onto it, and wondered why my case was SO HOT (uncomfortable to hold your hand on the case) and would occasionally crash. It's the PSU. Throw it out as soon as you open the box. The second I added a second tough drive, the PSU faulted.-Flimsy styleThe side panels had been my main issue. I took the side panel off and it right away warped, and since of the metal supports framing the panel, I had a tough time finding reattaching it. Aside from that, the front panel plastic seems brittle, and the case is wobbly with no the side panel on.-The front panel USB ports had been manufactured UPSIDE DOWN in my case, and if you appear closely, the images relfect that. They also shorted and stopped operating right after about a year.-No HDD Activity light-The front fan is Molex-powered-IDE slot is only JUST large enough to squeeze in a Radeon -I replaced my PSU following it blew a gasket (and a single of the Molex connectors came totally free of its wires) with a Corsair 450, and it runs Much quieter and cooler.-The IDE slot bumps up against the HDD bays; You have less than an inch of clearance. Also, for my create (see below) the GPU demands bowing the back panel a tiny bit to eliminate/insert.-Right after owning this case for more than a year, the front USB ports are unusable, causing a USB overvoltage that wouldn't let me full POST. I really had to remove all of the front panel connectors to fix this. The faux 3.5" bay/front panel doesn't essentially pop out, it's component of the front of the case. And seriously, WHY were the USB slots soldered upside down?My make:Motherboard: ASUS M-4A78T-EProcessor: AMD Phenom II x4 three.2GHz 955 Deneb Black Edition 鲽w)RAM: Critical two x 2GB DDR3-1333Disk: Samsung Spinpoint 1TB SATAOptical drive: Samsung DVD-RWGraphics: Radeon HD4800PSU Ɩ months later): Corsair 450w

Inexpensive, solid searching. Really light, fit a micro atx motherboard with a lot ofspace. I don't know if it's on the verge of failureor just doesn't put out it's rated wattage, but the PSU that came with the case apparently can not power a micro atx board, 2 dimms, 1 optical, 1 hdd, and a 6000+... It appears that it is just a low grade psu as it will boot with it, but the optical drive will notpower, nor the hdd. Kind of pathetic for a 480watt psu, as there are no expansion sound/video or excessive drives. Oh nicely, nevertheless a decent get on the case. Tossed my 1kW pcp&c psu and had no troubles.

Comment:
A lot of room for components, anything worked out of the box a small flimsy i would order another

Comment:
Low-cost - Cheap - Affordable Spacers in drive bays come out way to easy. Not considerably space ATX motherboard bairly fits at all..... Don't clean it with alcohol, the paint came off as soon as I touched it. It's a great deal.... You get what you spend for.

Stunning gloss finish on the face of this case. Comes with a descent psu.( in descent, I mean it works). All in all I'm pleased with obtain. Flimsy side panels be careful not to bend it configuring your computer. Only one particular 120mm fan comes with case. Power button is a little loose but not a big deal. Room for a different 120mm and a 80mm case fan.

Comment:
Built in power supply, the sides of this case slide is extremely simply, and it has a Big power button for the old folks! Power supply is a tiny bit noisy as the other men and women right here have mentioned, the front 120mm fan is also a small loud but not horrible. Other than that this case rocks! I have used this case for two builds so far, each spending budget dual core builds, 1 AMD and one particular Intel. The Intel build has a 4350 in it and the other just runs onboard video. Both run perfectly and I have no complaints other than the small bit of fan noise. Great for a budget build!

Comment:
Nicely built, nice blue LED fan in front, rolled edges inside. Nicely black exterior. The power supply is a decent voltage for a medium-lower end system, especially one without having a devoted graphics card. The thumb screws are extremely nice for the side panels. The motherboard tray does not include spacers. The front facade piece is essentially impossible to take off (note that you can nonetheless get around inside alright with it on). Overall, a incredibly nice case for the income, particularly for a mid-range system.

bought this mainly because it was affordable and had a energy supply included. everything functions fine- setup was effortless. no tricks or surprises. good massive energy switch. no reset button- only has 1 led- i hooked up the energy switch and utilized it's led for hd activity. the fan behind it lights up with power anyways so not a massive deal. all in all not a poor case for the price. wish it had seperate led's for power and hd activity- and wish it had a reset button- but oh properly. bought for a spending budget machine and it's serving that purpose admirably.

PS does it's job, 480 is far more than enough even if you are trying to run a few drives and a large fat card or 2.Not sharp inside. Good quality construction.Ideal size for full ATX MBoard, adequate room it fit quickly, sufficient space for the video card (Sapphire 4830) easily, but not TOO major a case.Came with no damage, despite a large ding on the box.Can't imagine considerably else being in a case that this didn't supply good quality wise, a nice suprise seriously.It even looks really superior, minus the ease at which it takes up fingerprints.No silly window! No reset button, have to go to all the trouble of holding down the energy button for numerous seconds.... somehow I am surviving, but I would look at that an omission of a feature.Serious air flow would require some additional fans.Limited ports up front, but since I never use far more than 1 USB port (flash drives) I truly prefer the easy front. Naturally if you could nab this either on sale, or especially with no cost shipping, it would be one hell of a deal. Nonetheless, specifically what I necessary for a cost that can't be beat, wonderful acquire.I'm assuming the PS can't compare with some at power efficiency, becoming a non-descript unit included with case, but the PS itself seems to do it's job just fine.

Low cost? The case arrived badly damaged. They are packaged quite poorly, with nothing protecting the front panel. My case had been so badly damaged, I had to epoxy every single retaining peg back, and glue the leading half back on the bottom half. It had broken at the drive bays. I was going to RMA this thing, but the cost to ship it back made it not worth whilst This is the third time I have received defective stuff from Newegg. I am almost to the point of not even ordering from them, as you never ever know if your stuff is going to be OK when you get it.

Semi-decent cheap case, looks OK, fan is quiet. The fit was OK. 120MM case fan blows over the HDs to preserve them cool. There is a place for a second 120MM fan in the rear. Power supply only had two SATA power plugs and they had been incredibly close together on the identical lead. I had to use an adapter for my DVD or else move it to the bottom rack. I will possibly replace the PS.No HD light so I plugged the power LED into the HD pins on the MB. The PS light is incredibly bright and could be a issue in a dark atmosphere. Also the fan has a blue LED. One of the MB spacer threads was stripped.Front panel is a little tough to remove and I am concerned that the force necessary could break it. Also, all the switches and the LED are on the front panel so you can not completely eliminate it from the case unless you unplug all leads. Bottom HD slot has the screw holes below the edge of the case making it complicated to install and eliminate the screws. Case fan came with a Molex connector so it cannot be plugged into the MB for monitoring. The front USB jacks are upside down. A minor inconvience but nonetheless a discomfort. This case came with a barebones kit and it meets my requires (once I replace the PS). I took off 1 egg for the PS and front panel.

Arrived in one piece, "worked".... Case is flimsy, take off the two side panels and you could practically push it backwards so it looked like a non-square parallelogram.-Case fan = sounds like a Harrier Jet, ONLY 1 FAN!! in the front of the case nonetheless...Quite poor style on that one.-Power supply - Well, it supplies power, 480 PEAK although..this thing also sounds like a harrier jet as nicely..May possibly as nicely be creating an aircraft carrier not a PC... I would not acquire this again, nor advocate it to anybody! Needless to say i sent this thing back!Be warned....

This is a very excellent case for the funds. You basically get a mediocre power supply for free, and the construction is great. There were no sharp edges inside the case and every little thing fit in it properly. Decent front panel assistance and it comes with a fan. It is a bit small, there are no screw much less mountings for the tough drive and optical drive cages. You have to take each side panels off to install items. This is a good case for a low cost personal computer, I would not suggest this for any individual other than say mom & pop who want a pc. It is defiantly not for an individual who is trying to create a high end pc program. But if you are searching for a low cost personal computer case for an every day use, world wide web browsing, office making use of, light gaming personal computer. This is a extremely excellent case.

Price, power supply appears to be operating great, looks superior. LED is genuinely bright, can't get front audio ports to perform.

Comment:
Very good case for the cash. Front audio header didn't perform. Not a significant difficulty just a small annoying.

Free of charge PSU, sleek black design. I like the design of this case. It doesn't have any tacky searching 250mm fan jammed into the side panel nor does it have any cheezy searching pseudo grill or a massive X anyplace that serves no function. Nice and straightforward yet elegant design. Has a very low profile purple neon LED which lets you know it is on in the dark. Junk PSU, warped junky assembly. When I was about to drop my mobo in I realized that the plate it attaches to was not 100 flat. One of the rivets that was supposed to hold the mobo plate to the main chassis had evidently been popped to hold together...nothing. Not only did this 1 rivet fail to grab the mobo plate but it also acted to push the plate 1ቦth of an inch outwards. This is extremely poor and can actually brief one thing on your motherboard. Rather of drilling the rivet out and reriveting that plate I just stuck one of those plastic headers in my motherboard which did a decent enough job of gently pushing the warped plate away from the motherboard. Ughhh. Duct tape answer but overall a far more stable 1 too believe it or not. The PSU is junk. It's rated at 480 watts but I believe it can only manage a small a lot more than 200 Watts so forget about tossing various difficult drives in this case unless you have a far better PSU. I swapped it out after it was acting flaky with 4 drives. Has no reset button which is a nuisance often but no big deal. I just reset the energy switch on the PSU.
