APEX TU150 Black Computer Case

Comment:
This case has loads of space with one particular exception: the drive cages at the bottom. It is a great seeking case as properly - extremely expert hunting. The case is very rugged and robust. I installed an ASUS P5RD1-V and had about a quarter inch gap in between the cages and the board. When I went to set up the drives, I had to modify the cages so I wouldn't have to eliminate the MB every single time I replaced a drive. Also, the cages retain the drives really close with each other and the stock front fan just didn't reduce it for cooling. I installed a different fan in the empty fan bay beside the other and NOW it keeps 'um cool! This case is a fantastic beginning poing for mods and servers. Yes the front cover is low cost, but it functions fine and locks effectively.

Great, uncomplicated case. Effectively constructed and effortless to setup. Had the hardware put collectively in about 15 minutes. Excellent security capabilities. Clean lines and quiet fans. Only has a single fan, and no space for a second at the front. But it does have vents on the side panel for graphic card fan exhaust. No front audio connectors. I rebuilt a full system, using only the really hard drive (Samsung 250GB SATA2) and flash card reader from the old program. This tower is significantly quieter. It is a clean, simple, seeking case that is constructed properly. There are a few instances I believed I would have scratched the black paint, but it didn't. The panels are solid and I really like the locking drive bays. Ordered it on Sunday and Newegg had it to my door on Wednesday. Sweet!

Comments: Not a poor case...I haven't attempted this one out in certain... My roomate has the Dynex version, sold by best obtain...but it's the identical case...except that version has a window and a 500W PSU... General even though, the case is excellent top quality..was uncomplicated to set up every little thing. Great purchase

Appears neat.Energy supply is adequate.Comes with good instructions. Build good quality is typical. A single of the side doors for the personal computer case went bent when I accidentally stepped on it. However, relatively average high quality for the price tag. Best for an ATX board

I bought this case in 2005 and its served me each and every given that. Difficult, good functions, clean interior, requires a beating. To assistance my CPU fan and video card, I had to replace the energy provide.

Comments: A excellent hunting black case with a door to hide the beige drives. A 400 watt power provide is a plus. The case and power supply is the quietest combo that I have. Only complaint I have is the front USB ports are recessed far sufficient as to not accept one particular of my thumb drives.

Comment:
Nice heavy steel building, excellent expandability, looks extremely qualified. Power supply is junk. The 500W I got with it died in 7 months, processor bleeder was going terrible and almost killed my complete program. Airflow is poor with only 80mm fans, stock 90mm is noisy junk. Door is flimsy and comes loose often. Front USB ports are in a terrible position. Had to buy risers for motherboard mounting. Case is loud with three 80mm fans. I got this case at a nearby retailer simply because I needed a new case for an atx motherboard. It appears extremely good and elicits many compliments, but has otherwise been a pain in the neck. I would not recommend this case to any person who does not want a handful of headaches.

This is a excellent case. Power provide seems to be of good top quality. My case presently houses an MSI P6NGM-FD with a dual-core Pentium E2200, 4GB of RAM, 2x320GB SATA Barracudas, and a SATA DVD drive. Still have lots of area for further drives if required. Lockable front panel is somewhat flimsy, but excellent enough to hold undesirable hands off the energy/reset buttons. Don't know if it was just my board and/or case, but the holes for the motherboard mounting screws had been mislabeled. That was somewhat frustrating, but nothing at all key. Would be greater if the front-panel USB ports were also totally locked away when the lock is enabled.

Comments: This is an amazing case, a single of the most sleek and monolithic circumstances I've ever observed, I recomend it to all. A lot of room, and great fast release.

Comment:
The case is dead basic to use, almost everything is where it should be and there are no sharp edges. Its just "right". Power provide is only okay, I'd have preferred to be able to get it devoid of so I could set up a seriously good supply, but this will do. I don't like the modern day black with almost everything, I rather liked beige, non light sucking.Not too keen on the front door and lock, can only see that lasting as long as I can come across a way to take it off without having wreckage:) Very good case, runs cool, constructed nicely.

Lots of space and removable HD basket, fantastic optical drive bay setup. I like the locking door too. The door feels a bit flimsy, but as long as nobody kicks or smacks it, there need to be no issues. With a couple of further fans, this case breathes very effectively, with a decent quantity of room. A very good acquire.

Comment:
It was RATED high but that's a negative way to decide on a solution I have discovered the challenging way. It does not offer you enough airflow and makes the overall motherboard + cpu run about 15C-25C hotter. I am FORCED to leave the case open 24x7 now. This acquire was a large mistake. Often determine on a case with at least 4-six fans going in and out. Often get instances with fan sizes of 120mm or higher. Anything with less than 120mm fans is a hunk of junk and must be avoided like the flu.

Comments: I built a Pc with this case and the interior was fantastic. Fortunately, I was in a position to straighten the dent in the door that it had when it arrived. I wish NE would pack them superior. I need to have an additional case tonight and I am thinking of staying away from this one just simply because of the door.

Have been placing PCs together for practically ten years, and these situations have been a pleasure to function with. Have yet to see more bang for the buck. The excellent energy provide tends to make it impossible for other folks to compete with this. A single word of caution. I ordered more than 10 of these situations. And some came with 24 pin energy when other individuals came with 20 pin power. Lost a few days due to the fact I had to go to auction sites and obtain 20pin female - 24pin male energy adapters. Highly encouraged. Very best case for the dollar by miles. A lot of folks aren't fans of the door, but it's more strong than you think. And additional desirable in particular person than on those images of it.

Comments: Lots of space, and no sharp edges make for a fantastic operating environment. Constructed like a German U2, and the expansion bays release smoothly and promptly.

Incredibly excellent attributes as far as putting a new Computer with each other. Durability gets a 7 out of 10. This is fairly tough but I wish the side panels had been a small additional re-enforced or at least where the thumb screws are situated. I purchased my Own energy supply of course...never trusted cases that came with`em in the first place. This is the 2nd case that I've ordered. One particular for a buddy's Computer I built practically a year ago and one particular for myself this year. The door is a little additional flimsy than anticipated when I initially recieved it. Could have produced a better way to installed five.25" internals. I have some Concepts of how they could have accomplished it superior. IT Appears Fantastic. Straightforward and but you can do alot of things to "trick" it out as effectively if you wanted to. I'm not all into case mods, but I do like a good look.

Comments: Are you tired of cases that look like undesirable carnival prizes? You say you don't want your toddler punching the reset button in the middle of a CS or AO mission? Do you really feel that if your pc is lit from the inside, it really should also have bouncy hydraulics, a set of fuzzy dice, and utilized to pick up all of your pals due to the fact you are the only one particular with a drivers license, but your mom wont let you stay out after 11ᚨ because she is tired of explaining to the neighbors why they all have doughnuts in their front yard?...Then this is the case for you.Pure. Basic. Black. ahh.Great foot rest also!

Comments: Not a big fan of the front door - gets in the way of the usb port in the front. Aside from that, fans are quiet and appears good.

Comment:
fantastic high quality, not flimsy. Takes a beating. Side vent workds good. have to unplug USB things just before you open or close front door, not really a complaint. This version with the full swing door is durable. I accidentally kicked the door off and it re-attached with no probs. Powere provide has not given any probs.

Comment:
Significant and roomy interior with a lot of nice functions. Drive bays are removable wich was nice to clear some space, and the CD drive bay location has a nifty locking mechanism that was substantially nicer than my earlier "cram and screw in" versions. Appears to be built properly for ventilation. Front panal door is quite flimsy, and the joints are double jointed, meaning it can swivel in some awkward positions and appears simply breakable. On leading of this, Energy/reset buttons can not be reached by way of the door (though there is a nice USB opening panel at the bottom) so you either have to remove the door totally, or deal with possibly breaking the door every single use. Overall I'm pleased with the case. It would be a great deal nicer if the energy/reset buttons were accessable by way of the security(?) door, considering the fact that it appears so good with the door closed. It is a shame, but I'll probebly end up removing it for convenience. Otherwise, it's pretty quiet and cool.
