RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WB Black Foldout MB Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Comment:
This looks good and has optimal capacity to set up hardware with little work on your component. My 10-1ǘ" long graphics card will not match inside this case with four tough drives installed. This is the only reason why I'm knocking off an egg. Beware that if you have substantial graphics cards that this case could not be for you.It would be good if NewEgg added a category to search for circumstances that have really hard drvie trays facing toward the side door panel. That would have saved me from an RMA.

Quite Really Extremely Straightforward!! I've constructed about 6 cpus, This case has created this final create the greatest 1 but!! none for me

Looks great, all lit up and lots of drive bays for lots of internal storage. Great fan circulation with all fans operating. The fold out sides are wonderful if keeping every thing stock. This case needs to be about 1 inch wider. Also, the fold out mobo element will not work if installing higher end CPU cooler. Had to even get rid of side fans to get my Noctua NH-D14 to fit, and if my RAM had cooling fins on them I would have to Dremel them off to get the cooler mounted. The power provide needs to be mounted on the botom for much better cable management, whish is a joke following installing the huge cooler. I purchased this case mainly because of the fold out mobo section which is wonderful, if you maintain it stock. Now it is usless. My fault for not seeking ahead although. Desires to be away to change the path of the case fans.

Good spacious case. Fits everything effectively. a lot of bays and maintaining method running cool with the three fans that come pre-installed. Mobo supports case fan speed handle. Want fans connected to mobo rather of psu. Not worthy of knocking off an egg though.

This is an exceptionally good case for the money!Effectively thought out and high good quality- each materials and workmanship. This 12cm fans front and rear are extremely quiet but move plenty of air. The front fan properly cools the three.five" internal drive bay. The side panels snap out & back in with ease- the cross bar card slot retainer/cooler is well positioned and is simply removed for service access. The spare parts & accessoies tray is handy and there's a lot of room and no sharp edges- whats not to like? I've purchased two of these and the second unit has incredibly weak (or non-existent) magnets that don't hold the front door shut below its personal weight. Other than that I've located small to criticize about this case. I bought the initially a single on sale as an impulse and was put off by its seemingly bulky size on 1st inspection. I set it aside for a long time but at some point decided to use it for a construct for a close friend. I quickly purchased a different for myself when that project was finished. NO regrets.

It appears cool, it has alot of fans, and it is massive adequate to assistance lots of HDD It wieghs a lot and it ought to have magnets in the front door of the case so the door cant open as effortlessly.

This case is made of a really sturdy stainless steel, and has a actually huge side window if that is what you are getting it for. The screwless design and style for installing drives aids alot, and saves a lot of time when installing new drives. When i put together the case, every little thing worked perfectly except for two items.-The front door was slightly off hinge, meaning to close it all the way you have to sort of lift it up a tiny bit or close it harder than you typically would/should.-The intake fan on the front came with a undesirable 4-pin connector. The red wire was disconnected, and the fan would not function. Great case, lots of area, motherboard tray opening tends to make installing from scratch a breeze, considering that you do not have to perform about the case. The fans could be of far better excellent. the 120 mm that performs is an exhaust fan that moves extremely small air. As in it is barely noticeable when you place your hand over it.

Plenty of fans, fantastic style, LOTS of room, each sides fall down for particularly uncomplicated access. A very good case for beginners just mastering. Doesn't hide cables, but I can reside with this.

- Handsome- Side window- Good airflow- Decent cost- Steel- Effortless mobo access- Hideaway toolkit integrated! There is small in the way of cable management, especially if you want to retain use of the mobo-side door. I've replaced the two 120mm fans with aftermarket fans, two of the metal pins in the four-pin connector for the front fan detatched from the wires. Moreover, 2 of the pins for the blue-LED side fan became loose and now slide out of their holes in the 4-pin connector just about every time try to plug the fan in. The mobo-side door became stuck (or the handle broke) either way, I had to pull somewhat hard on the manage, which brought on the door to become just about impossible to open. Removing the front panel (door and plastic panel it connects to) is clumsy. I've broken two of the 6 or eight plastic connectors that preserve that assembly attached to the steel physique of the case. General, I would suggest purchasing this case if you want a low-cost case with lots of frills, but please be conscious, its low cost (but don't forget these frills!

Foldout motherboard trayComes with three fansOften it's a little difficult to pull out the mobo tray, but I think that's for the greatest, it absolutely is *not* flimsy in style...so largely a pro. :P In order to set up far more than 1 cd drive or three.5 inch drive, you have to bend these metal brackets out of the way...and they're sort of sharp. This is nit-selecting, even though.Can't turn off LED's...I'd choose it to be dark if I'm watching a movie....but you can get rid of the fan that's attached to the clear panel to get rid of that issue. Hearing from a couple pals how tricky it was to plug everything into their towers, I was scared about undertaking my initially make, but I place every thing with each other in around 1 hour 30 min. Super effortless.

I adore the dual fold out sides, specifically with just a release manage. didn;t even notice at 1st extra hardware hidden in bottom, conevnient!. enjoy the LED's on the front swing door. Suited my each will need. Newegg, mentioned standard 3 day delivery, was on my door step the next day didn't spend any added, Amazing! HDD light can barely see unless from back, taking off front panel is a lil nerve racking, magnet currently came off, but nevertheless functions great

The design is amazing for men and women building their initial computer. Each sides open up to let straightforward access to every single aspect of the computer system and there is plenty of space to place every little thing. It's a genuinely good searching case and it's not very pricey. Feels quite sturdy for the most part. I haven't had any troubles with it overheating even following a couple hours of heavy gaming. I really feel like I'm going to accidentally break off the front of the case each and every time I open it. The rubber pads on the bottom should also be a tiny taller. My pc is on carpet and I have to place it on leading of a couple books so I can open the front without it catching on the carpet. Cords are all more than the spot in the computer system and tough to handle (I don't care but some folks may). None of it is worth taking an egg off though. Blue LEDs make every little thing look much better!

* Great Hunting; This case screams great. I loved it from the moment I set eyes on it.* Neat Features; The drop down Motherboard setup is sweet for rapid cleaning, repair, and upgrades. (There are inherent problems with it though, as I will discuss later.)* Tool Totally free; I love that almost everything in this case is fairly much tool absolutely free, exclusions going to most fan mounts and Mobo mounting. (But who would want tool free of charge mobo mounts anyways?)* Blue LEDs; Who doesn't like Blue LEDs? * Cool Attributes Come With a Price tag; Lousy cable management. You can't use the drop down mobo tray and have the cables appear neat and spiffy. Probably would have helped to have a bottom mounted PSU setup.* Weak Fans; You'll possibly want to replace Every SINGLE fan in this case. None of them support motherboard attachment and hardly push out any air. Particularly the front and back ones.* Sticky; The doors all stick, a lot. Tool free comes with a price tag I suppose. Ended up breaking the back deal with attempting to open the Mobo tray. This is my initial develop, I don't consider I did also awful bad on it. This case is a good initially develop form of case. Just don't expect too much out of it. Can't support cooling my stuff with my wires all in a mess due to the fact that the power cable is connected to my PSU, so, when you drop it down, every little thing becomes taunt. I suppose it wouldn't be an situation if you don't plan on making use of the drop down mobo tray, but that's kind of what I purchased this for in the 1st spot. Been a studying expertise for me. A shame as well, this case has a lot of possible, just a handful of style fixes could have made this case a five egg.I would personally think about buying one particular of the newer, vented situations for cooling newer setups, a single with a few best mounted fans along side the other people.

I have been seeking at buying this case for my newest develop for a long time. I'm glad I spent the funds on this good quality case.The absolute very best factor about this case is that each sides have the latch opening design. It created installing everything very quick and straightforward. The HD audio was also a pro only factors I am picky about that ought to have no impact on the rating at all.

Comment:
Had case for now three years, nevertheless performs like a champ. The Front USB ports are a tiny finicky but thats following three years of standard use. Also, the inside of the case is small with exactly where the really hard drive go and your graphics card would be. Greatest case I've owned so far. Has lasted longer then most of the cases I've had.

incredibly easily accessibleeasy to add peripheralsno screws necessary turbulent on the inside with all of the fans, could do a tiny much better in controlling the airflow within the case nonetheless a extremely excellent case... snap in fans with blue led

Comment:
Fantastic price tag and even better building. Side handle could be less complicated to use, but for the price tag its much better than anticipated. I have constructed 3 computer systems for loved ones members using this case and every person loves it.

Comment:
Constructed relatively nicely. Not too quite a few sharp ridges or corners and the PCI blanks had been effortlessly removed devoid of requiring tin snips and a box of bandages. Air flow is marginal. Cable management nightmare! Tons of 4pin connectors riddle the case from all of the included fans. Glad I purchased a modular energy provide to kind of acquire some sort of air flow. 4pin cables on fans are of poor excellent and requires a careful hand to assemble.

- Great airflow with multiple fans to help it. Fans straight hitting HDDs and the motherboard- Lots of area to perform with- The clear side panel adds a nice gamer feel to it- A lot of space for expansion each HDD and media sensible- Sturdy design and style, everything is strong plastic, I bought this case when it came out, I most likely have had it for about three years now it has survived several moves and a trip from California to Ohio - If you try to install a 2nd HDD you quite substantially have to get rid of every little thing you have mounted on your motherboard. Not extremely convenient- Based on your motherboard you could need to have cable extensions to attain the DVD drives and so on if you mount them high- Side access window latch broke right after a year- Dust can be an problem, if you eliminate the back slots to add a card on the motherboard they just break off. Which means if you ever take away the card you added there is no way to cover the open slot. I believe this is a excellent case for your average gamer or maybe a teenager that is searching for a slick design and style.It does have some design flaws when it comes to upgrading or adding HDDs and media even so it has served me properly. The only explanation why you would will need an additional case soon after this is if you wanted SSD challenging drives (no mount for them) or adjust personal computer specs often

This is my third acquire of the similar case. The box have to have been dropped at some point. Pegs from 1 side of front panel are all broken. I have to use some liquid nails adhesive for a perminent fix. Not satisfied with newegg packing (no added outer box) and UPS.

Comment:
Really good case realy like how the side swings out for installing the motherboard. Has great air flow and all around this is a great case. none Got this for my brothers make and he is quite happy with it.

Comment:
Excellent hunting cabinet. I am very satisfied with the additional fans and the open fold down side entry on both sides for repair and assembly. The added cover in the front is great. The price tag is excellent for this item. Thank you No cons This is one particular that you will want to have if you like desk prime computer systems

This Board is so simple to lay your motherboard. Screw-less strategies to put in your drives. The only screwing i had to do was screwing the motherboard in and the videocard(s) into spot.I have often purchased Antec but suprisingly this case with smaller sized fans runs much less noisier. This case runs icecold. i have the heat on and it blows frigid air out. heh. All in all you can setup a new computer in 10 - 20 minutes with how simple this case is to work with. only cons i can see is the name on the front but thats merely cosmetic Want i purchased this instead of antec all these years.

This case is fantastic! This is the first make that I have ever performed and this case has made it so effortless. 1st of all each of the sides open to lay flat on the ground which makes installing points a breeze. The manual that they present goes a extended way in explaining what is what and that really helps. This case is pretty heavy but that makes it really sturdy. I would extremely propose this case to any person and would specifically advocate it to a person that hasn't built a personal computer before. Only complaint that I have is that the person who wrote the manual or the particular person who did the front panel wiring was colour blind. Every thing was nonetheless very simple to plug in since of the labels on most of the wiring but the book would say blue and white and the actual product would be green and white. This happened three occasions but nevertheless not a large deal since of the labels.

This case is fantastic. I've had it for a number of months and all of the LED's and fans are nevertheless kicking. It has very good air flow. The fold down panel on the side is amazing for installing new hardware, tends to make installation of parts a breeze. It comes with all of the brackets that you will want for filling this issue with Really hard drives if that is what you want. All round a wonderful case. Cable management, as many other individuals have noted. I could get various of my cables tucked away but others I could just not get to disappear. The major problem that I have with this case is that with my graphics card (HIS HD 4850) the power connector for the graphics card and the major drive slot get in each other's way a lot. This is really annoying, they are extremely close to each and every other. My graphics card isn't the greatest of graphics card, and when I tried installing a different card in there, I couldn't even get the door to close since the card was touching the difficult drive. Be wary of how large your video card is and the orientation of your motherboard. See pros
