Power Up Black ATX Mid-Tower Case with 450-Watt Power Supply

Comment:
A great value PC case. I used it with AMD Athlon 64 3500+ // Nvidia Gforce 7600 gs // HP CD/DVD Burner // 1gb kingston ram (256mb x 4) // WD 160gb SATA HD. I know these parts are out of date, it was a cheap build that for a friend so he can play WoW. This power supply is VERY cheap. Do not use for a dual-core, do not use more than 2-3 peripherals. The case has no fans, and all my spares are too big for this tiny box. A standard ATX mobo will fit in here, but barely. Great value, low quality. You get what you pay for.

Received this in a bb kit back in August. Everything works great so far.

Power supply was DOA (it would only function for half a second before cutting out). After building two high-performance rigs last year, I decided to go the budget route this time. Sadly I got what I paid for. Buy this bundle for the case -- NOT the power supply! The case itself, while a bit on the smallish side, is fairly decent for the price.

As others have stated, this is not a heavy duty case, it is rather light, but adequate and overall is well designed. PSU is light also, but it powered right up and ran the Motherboard, 3 fans, 2HDD's and 2 CD drives with no problems. All components went in without incident. Can't possibly go wrong here for 25 bucks and Tigerdirect continues its excellent shipping and support practices. Very speedy and reliable. Mine arrived in just 3days and in perfect condition. If you want a great, low budget case and PSU, just get it!

As others have indicated...this is not a heavy duty case...but...it is quite adequate and overall is well designed. It has good airflow possibilities (front and rear fan options), front USB and Audio, and plenty of space for your Motherboard, power supply, and cables. I have installed a near top of the line AMD Motherboard (AM2+) and near top of the line AMD Quad processor with high performance air cooler. It all works well...no hitches. All internal cables are well labeled for needed Front Panel indicators. Can't go wrong here for the money and Tigerdirect continues its excellent shipping and support practices....very speedy..and reliable. No fear with this one...just get it!

I agree, it's a case, and for the money it's great. It looks great also. What do you want for $30?

It's a case. With a power supply. It hold my components and turns on like I'd expect. The front red light (drive light) is BRIGHT! Supplied IDE cable is short, and the length between the 2 headers on the cable require you to put the HD and anything else connected (DVD Drive in my case) on top of each other. (in the slots, but as close to each other as possible) used an old cable to get better spacing and air flow. Looks nice. Does what a case should do. I'm very happy.

This is a decent case for the money. The looks are second to none. While it is a little on the flimsy side, it will be just fine as long as you don't use it to stand on to change any light bulbs. While I was a little apprehensive about the power supply based on other reviews, I have had the system up and running for a week now and so far so good. Installation of all of the components was easy and without incident.

The case is flemsy but for the price can't beat it. Looks of the case isn't bad at all. Overall it serves the purpose.

very nice case would like to have tooless drives but hey it is very cool.

I purchased one of these cases a week ago. I wanted to reuse old components leftover from upgrading my own PC to make an Internet Box for my Mother and didn't have much left to spend. I read the mixed reviews, but knew the CompUSA staff wouldn't give me a bad time. Sure enough, the first one had a bad power supply and the front USB panel cracked off while I was trying to fit in the floppy. The next day, the clerk was friendly, told me I could get another of the same or pay the difference on another case. I got the same. At home, it was just as nice as the other reviewers said theirs were. Steady power. Light enough for an old lady to pick up and move. No flimsiness on this one. I have always found CompUSA to be great. Sometimes ordering over the internet is risky, once they get your money they don't know you. And I like being able to handle something before I buy. That's worth a thousand pictures.

This case is very good for the price! I have been building systems for clients for many years and have seen many a case much worse than this one that cost more. All the parts fit well and so far the system is running very well with the included power supply. If you are planning on building a high-end business, media or gaming rig that requires high air flow and durability than I would steer away from this but for a everyday home user PC this case is very nice.

Ok, this case is a little flimsy. I picked it up and it didn't even feel like the psu was in it. I warn you the power supply isn't so good though. When I first turned it on there was a bright light, crack, and pop. A moment after, it still works; everything was alright. Scared the hell out of me though.

Sleek case, very pretty. It's thin and light, warps a lil if you press it, but I wouldn't call it flimsy. It's much blacker and professional looking than the pic. Power button has a blue glowing ''ring'' around it, and a solid very bright red HDD led just below the reset button. One thing though, THE CHASSIS FAN IS 90MM NOT 120MM. You can mound a 120mm fan in the FRONT, where you put the hard drives... But the chassis fan at the back is 90MM. Nice easy to remove side with cpu air vent funnel, and lots of room for ATX motherboard. Power supply fan was LOUD though. Fantastic value all around, in any case.

Well I did put the DVD palyer in top slot, and then the cd player under it, no banging of motherboard. Used a 70 Gig SATA drive and even put a floppy in. Gave to Grand Kid and everything works great had no problems with power or front switches or sound and USB Great vaule

Comment:
Had to jump through hoops to get motherboard mounted. The included standouts do not fit the mounting points in the case. So light it doesn't even feel like there is a power supply in it. Would never buy this again and am debating returning it.

Comment:
As many of the other reviewers have stated this case is good but the power supply leaves you wanting. System included only one Dvd drive, a floppy drive and a hard drive and still the psu was dead within days. Hardly an over burdened power supply. Tiger replaced the psu immediately and as usual shipping was very fast.

Comes with all necessary wires and screws so you dont have to worry about connecting to your ATX mobo. As many reviewers have suggested it may not be the best case/psu combo. But use your own judgement adding load to the psu. I have one SATA hdd, and DVD-+RW and an additional IDE ATA hdd during setup which I removed once data are trans. Iam running W2K8 Evaluation Server about 10 hrs a day 5 days a week and dont find any problem with the case or psu except one small issue, even when shutdown from OS the front panel blue circle led lights remain on, I have to tunoff the main power from wall or the switch at the back on the psu. The small mid-tower size and not so flashy front give it a cool and professional look. I like it but found the price went 10$ up since I bought my 1st. Just looking for a break in price or free ship to order another 2 or 3 cases. I just wanted to make sure all my desktops are alike to maintain a consistencey look and feel. Good value for the $$.

The case is fine. But just like any other review to many Cases from this manufacturer, the power supply is very very bad. Very possible that you have to replace the power supply, just like I did.

Nice case for the money. It's light (plastic) and it has all the basic features needed. I didn't use the included power supply as it is very cheap.
