APEVIA X-QPACK2-AL/500 Black/ Silver Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Comment:
Good tiny case that will satisfy 90% of everybody's program creating requirements. As opposed to some other smaller type-factor cases, there's adequate room for two five.25" external devices, and space for 2 (or even three) HDDs. The case comes with multiple fans that need to preserve the case nice and cool. The soft purple glow of the rear case fan appears rather sharp, specially offered the many clear windows in the case.Fairly simple to create systems in spite of the modest size of the case. I've had more difficulties working inside D**l cases than inside these. PS has only two SATA power adapters, but numerous molex ones. I feel offered that this is 2009, additional of a 50኎ split would be a excellent idea. I've constructed 4 systems using Apevia cases and not a single power provide problem however! Even so, I create computers for adults, so I'm not difficult the PS with enormous video cards and the like. THAT could potentially lead to an situation, I suppose.

Fits on a shelf by my 60" HDTV completely, appears truly sharp with all my other A/V gear. Holds all the components I wanted (Sapphire Radeon 4850HD graphics card, Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium card, 2 1TB HDD, floppy, CD-ROM, Blu-Ray burner. The 500w PSU has lots of plugs of all unique forms, had no problem hooking anything up with no adaptors. The CPU and HDD temp LCD is a nice touch. As one particular would count on with a case this size, every little thing is really cramped but it does operate. To install something on the MB, a tray holding the MB slides out the back, but the front panel cables that plug into the board (for HDD LED, energy LED, and so forth) aren't long sufficient so they have to be unplugged. The plastic side panels scratch really effortlessly! Just from opening the case, I have nasty scratches from the windows dragging along the back frame! When the case is opened, all the elements really feel extremely flimsy, incredibly thin aluminum. But when all place collectively, it's sturdy adequate. It's very uncomplicated to accidentally leave a energy cord blocking the fans from spinning.Getting the cover to slide into location to close is a challenge! I bought this case initial, ahead of acquiring any "guts". The PSU is correct more than the PCI slots so any taller cards won't fit, in particular big graphics cards. And I doubt the longer ones would work, either. When I bought a graphics card, I looked for a single highly effective sufficient for HD playback and excellent gaming, but small adequate to fit. Ended up with the Sapphire Radeon 4850HD 1gb HDMI and it's excellent. Don't buy a Micro case and anticipate your dual monster graphics cards to fit!I've had no issues with something overheating. With a case this little, ventilation could be a issue, I suppose, but my CPU and HDD study amongst 35-40c, I've never ever noticed it higher. Oh, the 80mm and 120mm fans are quite quiet, also.

Case is extremely nice and it's light as well. But can't install any CPU Cooler that is additional than 4 inches 鲦Mmm)high. I chose Thermaltake Golden Orb two. The CPU typical Temperature around 30C. As expected for any Mirco, plugging anything in were a bit tight. No complications just take your time. None I genuinely really like this CUBE and undoubtedly purchasing another 1 if I were to make another Computer. I believed of changing the PSU to the See-thru sort with LED that will be nice cos the major is windowed.

Excellent MicroATX Situation! Removable motherboard tray for effortless installation. Nice hassle-free layout. You can inform that a lot of believed went into the design of this situation... all parts are positioned just appropriate, quite compact but not at all crowded. Precise front panel LCD Temp Display... readings matched BIOS temps correct on the money! And Surprisingly adequate, this compact situation keeps almost everything good & cool... The HDD in no way exceeded 27o C and the CPU by no means went above 33o C - No heating concerns whatsoever. As a private preference, I genuinely liked the 3 window panel design... I threw in a couple 4" Coldcathode UV Lights which created a good glowing effect and lit up the UV reactive elements on the mobo! The 500W energy provide worked excellent for me, powered the complete rig with no a glitch... ran 24ǝ for two-weeks correct up till the day I powered down and shipped it out. Powered rig through all benchmarks and technique tests, no troubles. All energy cables are tightly sleeved and effortless to manage. Obtaining the situation cover attached to the frame was a tiny difficult at first! This case is great for any person who calls for each desktop efficiency and mobility. Can be transported virtually anyplace, doesn't take up considerably space... Exceptional for LAN parties, vacations or even presentations. The carrying manage is a great feature. I took this rig for a nice lengthy walk to make sure that it was sturdy adequate and it worked just fine.

It is stunning. It is irresistably gorgeous. It is whisper quiet and roomy adequate for everything and keeps everything cool. Did I mention that it is stunning? Put a black card reader in the floppy slot. The Rosewill card reader has matching blue LED lighting. Be carefull of little aluminum dust or specks left over from manufacturing. Wipe the case out to be secure before you set up your valuable internals. I read other testimonials that said the lightweight construction was flimsy. It is lots sturdy enough when it is all bolted with each other. By the way, the reviewers who mentioned that it is straightforward to strip the srews in the aluminum...??? Are you making use of energy screwdrivers or one thing? There is no excuse for stripping a screw.

Uncomplicated to install components. Looks wonderful! Reset button is hard to push.

looks good power supply is inefficient if I didn't have a negative client service expertise with new egg I would have kept the case, but I am presently returning Everything!!!

The case is amazingly nicely made. The power provide fan pulls air from the PCI cards, the 120mm exhaust case fan pulls air by means of the challenging drives, and the 80mm intake fan supplies the motherboard with fresh air. Fit a CPU/GPU watercooling technique in and produced it appear clean. Screws to get rid of front bezel are difficult to attain. Motherboard tray is a very good notion but isn't incredibly valuable when you get significant into cable management. Watercooling parts: Swiftech MCW6000 for the CPU, Danger Den Maze4 for the GPU (had to desolder the PCI slot subsequent to the graphics card), Swiftech MCP350 moving the fluid (fits fantastic among the motherboard and the front of the case), topped off with a Swiftech MCR80 radiator. I employed an 80mm radiator with a fan adapter connected to the 120mm case fan, since a 120mm radiator wouldn't fit.

Looks are outstanding. I adore the compact design and the windows on the 3 sides. The energy supply is great and the fans with the blue LEDs are not only quiet keep it cool but also look cool. The added CPU and HDD temp indicators are a great touch. A couple of the thumb screws in the back had been cross threaded and quite challenging to take away to open the case. Due to the fact it is so tiny I had some difficulty discovering room for the cables so they wouldn't impede air-flow or physically touch the CPU fan - only minor. It truly is a nice case and I kept debating no matter whether to give it a five or 4. My only critical complaint is that the DVD burner I place in it ࿔x) is so freakin' loud in this thing. It vibrates the poor little case to death. It'd be great if it was a small beefier - but that would defeat the complete goal.

Extremely desirable case. The cooling is efficient and the frame is pretty solid. Excellent for a hideaway in a cubby or shelf (as long as the front and back are open for air flow). It has a retractable handle to carry it to LAN parties and it is pretty solid. The front panel cables are simple to identify and uncomplicated to place into the motherboard. The removable motherboard tray makes it feasible to operate with the elements. The windows are very easily scratched if your not cautious taking the cover off. If you replace the power supply with a far better one it will be a tight fit! A very good video card that needs added energy is incredibly tough to install if the power cables connect from the top. There is not enough space for a energy cable to connect on it, only a quarter inch of room due to the optical drive bay. It's attainable, but not suggested to install a massive video card. The front intake fan doesn't light up. If you acquire a power source with the case it will most probably be a tight fit. I purchased a 850W modular power source to go in and it fits! If it wasn't modular then it most probably wouldn't have fit. I had to splice the PCI Express cable so I can power up my video card. This case is really nice, but it gave me a huge headache and a setback of 24 hours meticulously splicing wires for the video card.

It has a excellent case design (although the handle is a little flimsy). Pretty great air flow. It has adequate space for a medium-substantial video card. I had to ground the front aluminum plate to safeguard from static (the computer system would shut off when I touched it).The 500watt PSU that came with the situation burned out speedily. Good situation for carrying about and has a lot more space inside then most circumstances like it, but obtain a excellent power supply.

Nice Situation, I have four like this for comp instances. Get pleasure from all of them and no troubles with the "PAST four" READ CONS Ok, this is the 1st time in 5years I have been dealing with the egg that I got a junk-o. The case got here, NOT Sealed, not double boxed, flaps ripped open, MISSING PSU in the situation, case Crushed from shipping. Really Poor Challenge!!! BUT!!! EGG Rocks! After the cons its like this, Referred to as NewEgg, and with in 1hour had shipping and RMA Stuff in my email, situation sent back, they said call tomorrow when it shows in UPS for Tracking that is on the road and they will shoot the new one More than NITE! I all most had heart failure at that point! I am SO Pleased! Thanks Egg!!!! :)

Comes with all the cords you need to have and the PSU is reasonable for most setups. Very quiet and very good air flow and cooling. Lightweight and reasonably durable Not a great fit for the biggest video cards. I had to shave a modest quantity of metal off of the bottom corner of the CD tray to fit my card in. Don't be rough on this case by bending it or using it carelessly. If your something like me although, you won't be letting something damaging close to your personal computer.

Great seekingSmallerClear side pannels Difficult to function withBox traps heat It took me all evening to place my comp in the Qpack. I like it now that it is all assembled. What you actually will need is time, patients, and hopefully you can come across someone with little hands. ITs genuinely tight in there and I actually had to go back to my OEM heatsink because my other 1 didn't fit in this case. Now my CPU temp has sky rocketed. But I guess that's the sacrifice for a nice hunting case. I truly like the looks and size of this one particular.

Spiffy style; decent price. Flimsy construction; PSU overheats; WAY as well cramped interior.A total-sized video card (GeForce GTX 260 in my case) only BARELY fits -- the drive chassis in fact presses against element of the video card. Also, had to replace the PSU with an Antec NeoPower 650 due to the fact the stock PSU kept on overheating. It was doing this due to the fact it's seated Proper over the videocard, and the air intake fan sucks air UP. Generally, it was attempting to awesome the PSU with the hot air exhaust from the video card. Could have been fantastic for a media Pc or something else a lot much less ambitious -- as lengthy as you're not ever hunting to get a full sized video card, this is a good adequate situation.

It's a low-cost box you can put your laptop or computer equipment in though seeking for something greater. I like possessing the Power supply over the expansion cards. Removable MB Trays are often nice. A single 120mm fan is always preferable to some I was seeking at with dual 80mm. The Front Deal with is convienent devoid of interfering with the looks. Complete Size ATX power supply included. Cheaply produced product. The steal is quite flimsy and flexable, the screw holes to secure the cover are very easily stripped out and the metal is simple to bend and distort. One of the MB tray retaining screws pushes directly into the power supply causing the case to bow exactly where the expansion cards are secured. The Plastic Rivets give also significantly gap among the plexiglass and the Outer cover; the Front Bezel, the MB Tray, the outer cover and the HD Cage do not sit snuggly with the key body and as soon as the fan begins spinning it sounds like the box is going to fall apart. I may have just been spoiled by Antec and Lian Li or mabey I just necessary a reminder on why I stopped obtaining low-cost cases to start with. On arrival the box appeared to have been opened previously but the only factor missing was one particular of the outer shell retaining screws. Immediately after bolting it together I realized that screw wasn't only missing but the hole was stripped. Within a week, the other hole also became stripped. I did not replace the a single MB tray retaining screw that was causing my Television Tuner card to be pulled out of its socket (which could account for alot of the noise). To keep the case from rattling I'm taking into consideration investing in a tube of silicone rubber and applying liberally even though I shop for a replacement box.

Sweet searching, really compact. extremely compact, can take some creativity to make issues fit A develop for my son. He picked the situation out and loves the final product and I have to admit it does appear quite great. Instructions are clear and it fits together fine. No concerns with PSU to date.

This situation is simple to loudout with components. Good quantity of space between components. Excellent amount of drive spaces. Excellent (and surprising) heat dissipation. Power provide adequate for most systems, but upgrade required if installing a 9600GT or much better. Motherboard tray is decent. When with each other is relatively sturdy. Particularly light! I use this case for LANs and continually carry it around. It is excellent because it is so smaller and light and the manage is actually fairly sturdy. Fantastic for lighting with the 3 clear sides. Also fantastic venilation holes in front and back. Front audio connectors are AC97, not HD. Aluminum is too thin on the complete case, producing it slightly flimsy. Motherboard tray is easy to bend when adding/removing slot cards. Manage on front could be created stronger. Power supply is not the greatest, but that is expected. Aluminum can strip easily considering that it is so thin (also lower good quality alum) so be cautious when placing in screws. Overall a excellent case. Would get once more, but not for my own use (only because I recently built a Pc with a Lian-Li - now addicted to L-L). Core 2 Duo E4500 ƒ.2GHz) OC'ed to 2.95GHz. 2x1GB DDR2 1066 Corsair. XFX 8600GT XXX w/ Zalman. MSI G33M-FI. 2x250GB Seagate 7200.11.

Nice sizing. You can fit a 8800GTS in no issue. Yes the situation is flexible like all the other apevia Qpacks. But this one has a much better PSU and is built superior. As soon as you put the situation side on its not as flexible. Uncomplicated to carry around with the carrying handle. The Psu has four Sata and 1 6pin PCI express fitting, and its 500 watts.Overall i'm really pleased with the situation. The only adjust i made to the situation was i produced the rear fan blow in fresh air instead of sucking out hot air. Oh yeah make confident you use a sata CD/DVD drive and sata HDD. The sata cables save alot of space. I have an apevia Qpack and now this one particular the Qpack2. This a single is definetly superior. What i put inside=intel Q965 xpress MB, E6320 (used artic silver 5 with stock fan, worked extremely well keeps temps about 30c idle 45c while gaming), creative x-fi xtreme gamer sound card, EVGA 8800GTS 320, Kingston hyper X 900 MGHZ ram.
