5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Value, March 20, 2008
Wow, I'm impressed. I tinker with computers part time as a hobby, and I had outgrown my old case. I needed more room, and a larger, newer power supply. Then I found this.
So heres some details, as the product description is sketchy.
This case is manufactured by Apex Computer Technology, Google it, they have a nice website with good information.
The power supply features the following...
300 Watt Max Output
(1) 80mm Cooling Fan (Temp Controlled)
(1) 20+4 Motherboard Connector
(4) 4-pin Molex Acessory Connectors
(1) 4-pin Floppy Connector
(1) 4-pin Intel Processor/Motherboard Connector
My case came with a different power supply than the one listed on the Apex website, but I was shopping by wattage, and it was still 300 Watts, so its all good to me.
The case itself comes well outfitted for the price, featuring the following...
(1) Installed 80mm exhaust fan (in addition to power supply fan, this space WILL acommodate a 90mm fan as well)
(1) Bag of misc. hardware (card brackets, TONS of extra screws, and motherboard spacers/standoffs)
(4) 5.25" External Bays (for cd-drives, etc.)
(2) 3.5" External Bays (for floppy, etc.)
(5) 5.25" Internal Bays (for hard drives, etc.)
(8) AGP/PCI Expansion Slots
(1) Removable Motherboard Face
(2) Green Power LED's
(1) Red Hard Drive Activity LED
(2) External Front Mounted USB Ports (with nice hideaway cover)
(1) Pair Front Mounted Audio Connections (also behind the USB cover)
(1) Extra 80/90mm front Fan Mount
(1) CPU Fan Tunnel (Adjustable!)
(1) VGA Vent (for your video card!)
Advise, this case IS NOT tooless, make sure you have a phillips screwdriver handy... hehe :)
Both sides of the case are removable, allowing FULL access. Front cover snaps off with 6 quick release tabs.
My setup...
Asus full size ATX Motherboard
Samsung DVD Drive
Samsung CD Drive
250GB Drive
40GB Drive
Nvdia Graphics Card
Belkin Wireless Card
Sound Blaster Card
90mm Rear Fan (fit without modification)
80mm Front Fan (fit without modification)
120mm Side Fan (custom mounted by me WITH modification)
As I said, I needed more room for all my junk, and my old power supply was starting to deliver weak voltage, which was slightly hurting performance and overheating. This product solved ALL my problems for a VERY reasonable price. If you are mechanically inclined, and like to tinker, THIS IS AWESOME!!! This case allowed me to drop my CPU Temp by 2C and Graphics Card Temp by 2C. Mainly because there is more space inside versus the old case, which was a WalMart EMachines computer.
I am an Amazon Prime member, so I ordered on a Friday, received on Monday.
Excellent Buy! Cant go wrong, I'd order it again ANY DAY!!!
Peace guys!

High Quality PC Case, August 6, 2006
This is a nice, sturdy, attractive case, that even came with 1 rear case fan. No sharp edges and easy to work with. Definitely a good buy and you can't beat the free shipping!

Great for basic build, May 5, 2009
After reading the other reviews, it was clear this could fit the bill for a basic build.
When the product arrived, everything was as described by previous reviewers.
After the computer was operative, I did notice the stock fan is relatively noisy compared with the Antec Sonata III case we have. But that was ~double the price.
If you're trying to build up your basic computer w/o need for extra video card wattage, this is a sweet deal.
