Apex DM-387 Computer Case - Micro ATX/Flex ATX, 2x 3.5 Bays, Black, 275 Watt Power SupplyItem#: A355-2012  |  Model#: DM-387

good and bad but I would buy another one

great: for me it has a good footprint. long gives room and not wide. it can stick off the back of table. good setup for air circulation. nice removable drive storage tray. good value comes with power supply, fan, power switch etc. fair: stupid front trim door on a hinge. just throw it away. bad: flimsy thin metal top cover that is supposed to slide off, slide with effort but is not good quality so hard to slide back on.

Great Little Micro ATX Case!

Very well built and laid out and easy to install components. The only suggestion to the manufacturer would be to make the power supply 300 or 350W.

Nice little box. Surprising details!

This is a great computer case. It is really well built and goes together with ease. It looks modern and is compact enough to fit on my bookshelf. I've never liked the smaller-sized card brakets required for this type of case, but it's understandable considering how compact it is. The section that holds your drives is especially nifty in the way it pivots out and up to get to screws and cables. I had to access everything a number of times and the setup made my modifications quick and easy. I recommend this case to anyone trying to save space... and who doesn't need a high-wattage power supply.

Nice Case for small space

I bought this case for my grandson's room. Went together easily and is very quiet. Only issue is the size of the power supply - could be bigger

Great Chassis - No Noise Issues

After reading previous reviews I was concerned that I would have to do surgery on the PS to replace the fan or do an R&R on the chassis fan. I'm happy to report that neither is true in the currently shipping version of this chassis. This is a great chassis for my HTPC installation and has enough room and power for all of the components needed. Getting the pop-out media cage to sit all the way down with the ATX power cable directly underneath was a bit tricky. It just took a bit of patience and some careful cable routing. I couldn't be happier.

So-so quality, watch for heat problem

My case was delivered with a cracked plastic cover where the front USB ports are, most likely due to poor packing. Also, to open the front cover properly, you need to raise the PC more than the little plastic feet that come with the case. CPU was running a little hot, but adding a 120mm fan to outside of case (laying loose on top of the case) solved the problem. Still, not a bad case for the money and just the right size for a media cabinet.

Nice case for limited space

Nice solid case. Fan is a bit noisy, thus the lower performence rating. If you want to lay it flat you will need to stick the supplied rubber feet on it for door clearance. The power supply has a 24 pin connector and will not fit on older boards that have a 20 pin power connector. Things are a little snug, as to be expected, but with the convenient slide-out drive bracket, it makes for a fast and easy build. I would recommend this case.

Unused

I've been ask o review an item I have not used. So, with thst in mind, I received the item well within the expected delivery time without damage. Perused item and visually it looks well and sturdily made.

Excellent case for the price.

I bought to use on a HTPC, and it suits the purpose wonderfully. It's a very attractively designed case, and the power supply fan is quiet enough running to not interfere with watching videos or listening to music. The front panel power switch is a little touchy, but other than that no complaints.

I love it

Nice case, I like it very much. Replace the 80mm fan it's very noisy. I wish I could have add a second 3,5 inch HDD. Only room for 1 HDD is not enough I guess (there are two slots for drive but you will most likely need a DVD drive). I like the front LEDs behind the tinted glass.
