PowerUp Black ATX Mid-Tower Case with Clear Side, Front USB and Audio Ports and 450-Watt Power Supply

Comment:
Audio cable to MB was too short. Had to remove front panel to re-route cable. One of the PS connectors fell apart during normal install (poor crimping). Checked the rest of the connectors and the rest were solid. Good product for the $ but expect spome potential issues.

Comment:
For the price, this is a deal. However, came with the clear persplex sheet cracked to edge from the center, also the front Audio connection does not work. Roomy case.

This is a good case for the money its a little bigger than my other mid case but thats good! led's look good and comes with everything you need. The power supply can run Windows 7 with AMD 965 bk ed just fine but will replace it soon for bigger one to run dual sli. Overall a good product

Bare Bones Comments are: PSU dead on arrival. Could not reach Power Up for discussion. Front panel not removable for access. Some front panel cables too short to reach connection on mother board. Rear Port cover did not fit, so I had to purchase a new one. No rack for hard drive.

Good airflow, plenty of room and it looks cool. I like the orange fan an led lights on the front. You cant beat the price.

Case was good enough for my personal use but would not use one for customer. The power supply burned out within a week but customer service was prompt about sending out a new one although I had to pay for it first then be reimbursed after the old one was sent back.

Comment:
So do yourself a favor and buy a case fan at checkout. Otherwise the case is awesome.

Built a new system with this case. Nice black finish and clear side cover. Plenty of room. Relatively easy to assembly but must use tiny screws to mount the drives. Power supply has a internal fan and is working fine. Side cover has a built-in fan with orange LED's. I added a third 120mm case fan. Front panel has two long strips of orange LED's from bottom to top. Power and reset switches have cool blue LED's............If you need an economy case, don't even hesitate, this is it.

Cheap price is what makes this case stand out. The quality of the materials is a little weak but if you don't plan to move it around much it works just fine. As stated in past reviews these LED lights on this case are BRIGHT and do light up the place. Power Supply fan is not the quietest one in the world but it does the job.

I have two of these cases now. Yes, they cheap, but they are just fine... I've been running one for a yr already. The 80 mm fan rattles sometimes and I would add a 120mm rear fan for cheap to be honest, but it has front panel USB and audio which is nice for a cheapo box.

Opened up the box all the screws were loose and some were stuck inside the front. The case does not have a removable front panel. With the front apart the wires to the led lights came loose as they are glued to tin foil with a heat gun. Used super glue to attach them again. When the computer was running i had no sound from the front or real connections. I disconnected the case wires from the motherboard and then the sound worked from the motherboard outputs. The wires from the power supply are very short and i had to use the bottom drive bay for them to reach. Also the sata connectors came apart when i installed them onto the drives thus making me buy adaptors to use the molex connectors. It looks nice when turned on however this case has very poor quality control and the cheapest parts i have seen in a long time and i have built many computers as this was for a friend that wanted to go cheap.

I read so many case reviews my head was spinning.With so little available cash to spend but despertly in need of a new case and psu.I liked the looks of this case but the reviews scared me-then I took the plunge. Everything came intact,no dents or dings, my MB was a little tight installing, but everything powered up just like it was supposed to. I'm not sure but right under the front usb connectors on the bottom of the case there is an opening and you can see-feel the front panel control board.It looks like there should be a cover for it but if so, I didn't get one. I will contact customer service and check it out. Got my fingers crossed but so far I am a very satisfied customer. Can't beat the PRICE

Nice case, but the 450 watt power supply failed within the first 2 weeks of ownership, leaving me with a quandary - return the case and power supply and spend a week or two without our home PC, or go to the store and get a new unit. I went to the store, spent 60 bucks on a new 500 watt supply, slapped it into place, and things have worked well since. Its the first time I've EVER had a power unit go bad that quickly. In fact, it's the first time I've ever had to replace one on either a unit Ive owned or built for someone else over the past 10 years.

The power supply would be $30 by itself, so it's like getting the case for free. My power supply died after 10 months. I called PowerUp and they gave me a choice - I could package up the entire original purchase of case and power supply and send it back, or I could pay $30 for a new power supply and when I got it I could return the dead one and they would refund my $30. I chose the second option so I wouldn't have to take apart the computer I had made with the case. And WOW, when the replacement power supply arrived, it was a more powerful one than the original! I was afraid it wouldn't fit in the case, but it fit just fine. And it works great! They just now received my returned dead power supply, so I don't know yet how they are on crediting the $30. Considering their great customer service so far, I assume it will go without a hitch. :)

Works great and looks awesome. Has good airflow and lots of room for what I needed. Only problem was a few of the cables from the front of the chassis were a bit short(for my Motherboard Setup anyway. Problem was easily remedied by cutting a hole through the metal grate at the front (behind the front face of the tower) and lining the sharp edges of the hole to protect the cables.

Fantastic design and style, holds a gaming style hardware set just fine, good air circulation, and an awesome price.

I don't understand why people are giving this case so much grief! They must expect $150 quality. Strong, secure, plenty of space and 1 thing they don't acknowledge here. The specs say there's only 1 place for 120 mm fan, but there's really 2 if you know how to find it. LOVE IT! Great case for the price!

Comment:
For a cheapo case I like this particular one. I have gotten three PowerUp cases and I feel this is the best and most sturdy constructed of the three. 120 mm fan (not included) in the rear. Fan spot in the front seems unaccessible. 80 MM side (fan is included.) Power Supply is ok--nothing to write home about--one line with a couple SATA power and one line with several MOLEX.

Comment:
Purchased item because it came with power supply, however power supply refused to operate. Shipped unit back for a better purchase.

Comment:
When the case came in, the power supply was dead. We had to buy a new power supply locallay so we could assemble the computer. It was a gift, and we didn't have the time to ship the case back and get a replacement.

Comment:
No rear case fan. Cannot add front case fan due to case design. Power Supply is not adequate for more than 2 sata drives.

Comment:
Bigger than I would like, but no problem connecting to everything. Sidewall fan is a plus, would take more heat out of the case along with the CPU fan. With good air circulation, the case will keep things cooler and hopefully the computer would last longer

looks good works well plenty of room just what i payed for

Great case. I could go on all day about it. All I can say is careful when you open this baby up, When I opened the plastic bag the case was in screws went all over the house lol Overall for 25 bucks GREAT DEAL and the front is bright. sata power cables are short though, I had to put my dvd-rw and hd close together to get power to both.
