I have another micro ATX case similar to this one but by a different manufactuer. As it turns out this one isn't nearly as nice. I expected a bit more from this case for the the $89 I paid for it. The top and sides slide off as one piece which is fine but it's so flimsy that putting it back on takes some patience to line it up so it all slides together. A better design (like other my other case) would make it much easier without any additional cost. The biggest disappointment was the power supply. It has only ONE SATA device power plug. The rest are all 4-pin Molex type. So...if you want to add more than one internal SATA device you'll need to buy one or more 4-pin Molex to 15-pin-SATA power adapter cable. I can't believe NO ONE mentioned this in any of the previous reviews...it's critical. The LCD temperature display stopped working after less than a month. I highly don't recommend this case. Spend a little bit more (or keep looking) and get a better case. |

This case is a marvel of compact parts placement and quite convenient to use. It is made of very light gauge aluminum and is a little more flexible than I am comfortable with until it is buttoned up.
I bought 2 samples and the front panel temp. display did not work fully in either one, This is a feature with little value to the user unless overloading and overclocking are the order of the day. In that case a larger case would be better anyway. Another minor annoyance was a system fan with a 4 pin Molex connector which could not be plugged into the motherboard monitor connector. |
Small but so nice and clean

Bought this case in june 2006, the PS went out last week. Hard to find exact but I found some for 65$ canadian bucks. Airflow is not it's best point but with an aditionanl fan on top (DIY) it goes super coold even with RAID disks and a fanless video card. Space is very calculated but I managed to change the OEM CPU fan for a Blue-Orb. Go for it if design and space is for you. |
Think twice on this one...

I bought this box 2 years ago, the power supply just went out and I can't find a new one because it's a special size (4.5 inches deep) so an $85 case is going into the trash. Not to mention poor air circulation, a total pain to build unless you have little tiny hands and I really like the noisy fan, the whole neighborhood can hear this thing. It may look good but form follows function and this thing ain't got no function. Never again for this company. By far the worst box I ever purchased. |
Love It!

everything fit very well. With just a little extra effort i was able to make this case into a tiny little powerhouse. If size is an issue this is the case for you. No overheating problems. The cover is only flimsy when you have it off, very solid when fully assembled. |

What You Should Know
|

Assembling Barebones Computer Kits & Computer Cases
Remember when assembling one of our money-saving Barebone Computer Kits, or
installing your existing computer components into a new computer case, you
may have to modify the case to fit your components - This Is Normal!
Cases are designed to hold and accommodate a wide variety of motherboards,
interface cards, connectors, and other components. Because of this,
the case manufacturer designs their cases with easily removable panels to
allow these components to properly fit in the case. All you need to do
is punch them out with a screw driver or fold them over with a pair of
pliers to snap out the metal piece for your exact components. In this
way, you save the cost of assembling your computer, and have the
satisfaction of building your own workstation.
PLEASE NOTE:
Carefully read all documentation BEFORE you start to assemble your Barebones
Kit or add components to a Computer Case. Some components need to be
assembled in a specific order. Also place the components in the case
temporarily to confirm any modifications (punch outs) that need to be made
to fit that component.

Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.

How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
