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

Comment:
very light in weight to what I experience with ATX cases. comes with all the screws, raisers, cables you will ever need. Has to remove the I/O panel and install the one that came with the Asus motherboard, easy to do. looks great. get it while it is this cheap!

This is a great tower for its value. When I did order it the Power Supply box didn't work and sent it back. The customer service was great and very kind. I sent it back and got the new one very quickly and had no problems since.

Case was OK, I actually like it. Power supply gave up after a little over 6 months. Replacement will cost more than the case.

got this over a year ago as part of a low budget bare bones. i was surprised, looks clean and and well built. no sharp edges, plenty of room (for a mid). the budget guts have moved on and this now houses an asus m3n78-vm and an amd kuma, 4gig patriot 6400 and an xfx nvid 8500 gt. w/ xp pro 64. the case and power supply are still going strong after more than a year of heavy use. every connection still works all the buttons are fine. 2 80mm fans gives great air flow. for a budget build go with this one, you can't lose.

The case does what I need it for, a good value with included power supply. Although the specifications are incorrect on the case fan port, the site specified that it has (1) 120mm case fan port, when it is actually a 80mm case fan vent in the rear. Overall this is a great bang for the buck!!

Came undamaged Was easy to use for install. Only gripe was the cable for the front panel is on the short side; had to fish it up the front of the case and run it directly. Good value for the dollar. Thanks again for keeping things afordable.

But it has some fundamental problems. Most of all, the height of expansion bay is not standard. It is about 2 mm high than normal. I have tried one graphic cards, two video capture card and one wireless card, none of them can fit tightly. So the problem must be the case. This leaves the cards inserted half way and, will have potential problem of loosing or even short circuiting.

case worked great already had a 4gig system took about 20minutes to install euns great

This case came damaged, it came with a power supply that was not a standard ATX power supply, the mother board power plug was not compatible with my ASUS P800 board. I didn't send it back because everything I use was installed and I wasn't going to take it apart so I bought the right power supply and I'll live with the dent. The box wasn't damaged so I have no idea how the side of the case got dented. Jerry

my only negative on this ATX case was that it lacked detents (extruded feet) on the base, so that when I slid it, it scratched my desk. The micro ATX motherboard, fsn, power supply and accessories fit fine.

The Case itself is awesome. The low ratings are for the Power Supply. I went to the (the site's) outlet store because I was having hard drive problems with my build. The guy that was helping me said that Power Up has one of the worst PSUs on the market and it only has a 3 month warranty so expect it to break right around then. My advice: Go with the case, get a different PSU.

This case does the job. Came in excellent shape. Everything was in the box. Purchased a fan for the unit as expected, and came with power cord and hardware kit for the motherboard. Did a little wiring rerouting for one cable, but was easy. This case is light, and can be moved easily. It is in a protected area on my computer hutch, and is not a concern. After build, this unit weighs half of my old Dell.

Power supply works good but looks cheap

Only issue I had was remembering to put the spacers under the mother board. I have three H.D.s in the case 2 hooked up. a DVD burner and a cassette tape player mp3 converter. I still have room for another SATA HD but the the power supply has no more plugs. Will have to replace it if I run a Video card. Needs a case fan though

Comment:
This was a great case for the money. Power supply needed one more molex plug but it is a great PS.

Comment:
Purchased this case & Power supply to take the place of a HP case. Well satisfied with the room inside. It is light but it doesn't get moved around so can put up with that. Liked it so much that I turned around and purchased another to replace my compaq case. Well worth the price.

Love the case. Seems to be good for the price. This is the first time I have put a PC together (I used a combination of parts from other PC's) and it was very simple to see how everything fit together. All cables were labeled and the package came with an assortment of mounting hardward.

Comment:
I bought 3 of these to build some PCs for my business. The quality is just about what I'd expect from a $40 case, not very heavy duty. But they are just fine for building an office machine. Plenty of room inside and since I only put one HDD and one DVD drive there was sufficient cabling on the PSU. All in all they are a great bargain for building your machine if you are not worried about having a heavy duty frame.

Comment:
Is light and thin skinned. PS quality is questionable, above average noise. SATA power leads, both on one cable, won't reach between bays unless you crowd drives in the center, or adapt another lead. Is still a decent case, not fancy just funtional. Front USB is nice, CPU fan air tunnel slick and the blue power LED ring a pleasent touch. Mine was missing standoff/screw hardware. I would buy again.

Good case and power supply for a non gamer business machine.

Comment:
It's a pretty good case for the price.Had no problems with installation.

I originally got this case as a last resort to keep my build below $1200, and it's actually a solid case. It's really flimsy on the side panels, but you won't be touching them all the time anyway. I painted it with black gloss paint, cut out a window, removed part of the front of the case, added blue LEDs, and it looks like a much more expensive case now.

Got my case in a low-end bare-bone package. For $40, it is a good value. Pros: include nice rounded edges to keep you from being GINSUed. The inside is well laid out and though the metal is thin, it is still rigid. Cons: The weight is a dead give-away that the 450W rating on the power supply is a stretch. My Antec 450W supply probably weights more than the entire case, but it cost 4 times more than this case/PS combo did. The case has plenty of room for drives and I would suggest keeping them low to keep the center of gravity low, else the case becomes a little top-heavy. Overall, A bargain case with good features, however, I wouldn't press the PS for a continuous 450 Watts of power.

Comment:
Its not that flashy looking, but its a good case. Its probably like a pound at most. and when i put all the stuff in it, mobo, HD, DVD drive, Etc. it probably weighs like 5-6 pounds. The only disadvantage is that sometimes it can get knocked over easy, because all the weight is on the top, and there really isnt anything on the bottom, so, becareful walking by. It does scratch easy, it got scratched from the box when i took it out. Not badly, but like a scuff mark, and it barely touched the box. Overall, for the price, and it coming with a 450 Extreme Power supply its well worth it.

Comment:
This is an excellent case. I was extremely surprised at how light it was. It must be at least half the weight of my smaller mATX eMachines tower. I immediately removed the power supply and put in a ThermalTake 430W. The PS is of poor quality and isn't made for a SATA only build out; although it does come with a SATA power adapter. Even with the lower wattage, the TT PS produces much more amperage. I also liked at the how much room ISN'T wasted in this case. You can easily fit multiple HDs and CD/DVD drives. The blue light is aesthetically pleasing. My only real concern... The front panel is a real pain to remove and reinstall, yet its the only way to install a cooling fan for your hard disks. All in all, for the price, you can't go wrong. Buy this case.
