Apevia Aspire X-QPACK2-NW-BK/500 Computer Case - MicroATX, 500 Watt Power Supply, 2x 5.25 Bays, 3x 3.5 Bays, BlackItem#: A107-1099  |  Model#: X-QPACK2-NW-BK/500

Watch Out,

The temp gauge out of the box did not work. The company replaced the gauge, but the replacement did not accurately record the temps. Additionally, the case does not have enough vents. Other than that, the case is functional.

Awesome Case

I bought this case for a custom build for a Christmas present for my son. He loves it! Great features! Easy build! Great looking! No problems with this case! This site shipped it FAST !

Not worth the money or grief

I just bought one of these. The temperature sensors didn't work. I tried to get it replaced. No. I was told to either pay $8.00 to replace the board or send the old one back. I decided to send the old one back, at my expense. To get the old one out I had to try to disassemble the case. The front panel is held on my screws. One screw is impossible to remove without cutting and removing rivets. No good solution. I spend good money and got a flimsy case that parts did not work. Don't spend your hard earned money on this.

Nice Case... bad PS

Had this for a few months now and after losing a hard drive and almost loosing a second one, I finally replaced the PS and everything has been great since. Internal frame is a bit flimsy, and vent screens in the front are easily separated from the case. I would recommend this case if they sold it on its own minus the power supply and knock off $20 from the price.

Nice case, bad luck with power supply

I liked the case, but the power supply died after about 3 days. I exchange the unit for another, but that power supply also died after 3 days. I returned the second unit for a different case and bought a power supply separately. FWIW, I was running a MSI 785GTM-E45 mobo and AMD Phenom X4 9750 quad-core CPU, a 3.5

Nice but Flimsy

This is a great case from the outside, especially for an HTC setup. It is a nice form factor and looks good. As other reviews have pointed out, the case metal is very thin and flimsy. The fit leaves something to be desired, and I had vibration problems with the optical drive and the HDD cage. Get some thin rubber washers and use them to dampen the vibrations, and you'll be OK. Also, keep in mind that there is limited room for CPU cooling options. The stock fan on my AMD X6 processor is quite loud, and I haven't found anything likely to work that is small enough to fit. I found the inculded fans and power supply to be quiet enough, although I am not using the smaller front fan. All the connectors for the case are clearly labeled and worked well. It was easy to not connect power for the LED screen, which I was sure I would find annoying.

A good value and well built case

I had no trouble with this case and this was my first build! Am very pleased.

Very good case

Mine was a simple installation just a motherboard, DVD, and harddrive. I just used the fans that came with the case, and the standard CPU fan that came with my Intel CPU. Lining up the holes on the motherboard with the tray gave me some trouble until I took the tray out (like the instructions recommend). Then I screwed the board to the tray with it standing on one end instead instead of flat. While the DVD fit into the bracket nicely, it leaves a slight gap between the right sidde of the drive and the case when viewed from the front. I am impressed with how quiet it runs, but my computer is running a little hotter than what some other comments here have said (mine is around 35 C). The cover is a little difficult to put back on. I had plenty of room to work with, particularly since the drive tray and motherboard tray are removable. This was a very easy installation.

H50 will not fit. Also, 3.5 inch bay is too small.

I am still building this computer, but so far I am really happy . A couple of gotchas I ran into is that the 3.5 bay is a few mm too small and almost unusable. I found several references to this issue on the web. Also, if you are considering using a H50 corsair water cooler, it will not fit inside this case.

Quiet! Buying second one.

I love this case! It runs cool and quiet! I'm planning to buy another one.
