Cons: Older styling, individual jumpers for main front panel..
Pros: Great Price, Great value Comment:
This case is a great value for the price. It is nothing special, and a little out dated as far as having usb 2.0, and 3.5 slots, and separate jumpers for the front panel as opposed to one. It also includes hardware, and standoffs, and a PC speaker for those old MBs that don't have them. A good buy for a cheap build. |

Cons: powersupply doesn't fit rightvery hard to work on computerSeems to have the minimum for a case
Pros: cheapeverything fits Comment:
I guess for the price it is ok, but for a bit more you could get a much better case. Came with my prebuilt pc. I would avoid apex in the future if I was building a pc myself. |

Cons: - Cheaply made, but comes with the low low price- Everything fits tight- Not as good cooling for a desktop if you pay the extra a slightly bigger case. Only fits a 80mm fan in the front and the back.
Pros: - Fits in a standard 19" rack on its side!- Just barely fits a full sized pci-e video card with HDDs in. Comment:
I got these due to size and cost. It so happened that the cheapest case on NCIX was also one that fits nicely into a rack, takes 6x 3.5HDDs inside, and fits a standard ATX mobo with all the fixings. Due to its low cost and size to fit into a 19" Server Rack, I'm giving it 5 stares. It may be tight and cheap, but it works a treat. For a cheap case, I'm buying another tonight for my new ProxMox whitebox server with 32gb ram. |

Cons: No fans, cheap metal, stupid 'guard mechanism'
Pros: Cheap as hell, light, quiet Comment:
The metal of this case is very flimsy, and can cut you if you're not careful. Because of this, any added fans and fast hard drives reverberate against the case and are louder than they should be - that said it's quiet when you have no extra fans. PCI cards are locked in with some stupid mechanism that I had a lot of trouble figuring out and eventually discarded, leaving a hole open in the back of the case. It might not have been an issue if I hadn't bent it trying to figure out how it worked - would be nice if the case had included a little bit of documentation on this 'feature'. The motherboard panel didn't fit quite right, really needed to use some elbow grease to get it in. |

Cons: Flimsy
Pros: Cheap and 4 USB ports in the front Comment:
This case is very cheap price wise once price matched and will an additional fan or two it get the job done. For my budget build it's awesome and the 4 USB ports in the front is a plus. |

Cons: thin metal, feels as if it would break if you pushed it on the side
Pros: Your standard case Comment:
Bought for budget server computer, I like that usb slots are not at the bottom. too bad it doesn't have compartments to hide wires.... |

Cons: Sharp PanelsAlmost no screwsDoesn't come with exhaust fan
Pros: Price ($20 after PM)Good looking and sleek Comment:
Bought this for a basic build and it met my expectations for $20. It is a roomy case and is very good looking and installation was easy. The only troubling thing was that there was almost no screws provided. |

Cons:
Flimsy
Pros: Good Price, Has front USB and audio ports, light Comment:
The case has a lot of room inside and is very light. Useful for people who would rather invest in quality parts inside the case. I cut my hand on the cheap metal as it is very sharp and thin. The back of the case has a locking mechnism for the PCI cards which is pretty cool for cheap case. |

Cons: cheap
Pros: Price (after a price match)4 front usb ports Comment:
I bought this case for a friend who wanted the cheapest case possible. This case is okay for the price and the 4 front usb ports are nice. But the power supply was hard to screw and I had to bend some metal piece to fit the power supply (with a big 120 mm fan at its base). |

Cons: Not the best build quality, does not fit 120mm fan at rear
Pros: Low price, lots of space Comment:
For $21, I didn't expect much, and I happened to be correct. You really do get what you pay for. It's flimsy (but I've seen worse), and the fit and finish are poor. On the bright side, there's plenty of room for the motherboard and for many drives. Good value if you're looking for something cheap. |
bought this to take apart. only wanted the motherboard tray with IO. worked perfectly for what i wanted. easy to drill out rivets and came apart like nothing. on sale, was cheaper to buy this than a real motherboard tray with IO.
