APEVIA X-Qpack2 m-ATX enclosure

Introduction:

    Just over a year ago, Diceman reviewed the original Q-pack from Aspire. Well, this time around we get to review the second generation of the Q-pack, called the X-Qpack2. It's from the same company, but they also have a new name, which is Apevia. The X-Qpack2 is a micro size aluminum enclosure that comes in a rainbow of colors: black, silver, blue, green, red, and yellow. These cases have the three sided windows; however, they also offer a non-windowed version, and those come in silver and black. The one offered up for review is the X-QPACK2-BL/500, which is the blue front with the windowed panels.  So, with a nice choice of colors and styles, it's now time to see if the second generation enclosure measures up to it's first generation.

About the Company:

    Apevia Corporation is the new name for Aspire International Corporation which was established in March 1999. Due to lots of confusions between Aspire cases, Acer's Aspire Notebook systems and Aspire Credit Cards, we have decided to change our name to Apevia Corporation in June 2006. With the strategy of standing behind our customers to ensure their total satisfaction, Apevia has been working closely with its customers and focusing on providing innovative quality PC products and services to keep up with the fast changing market. Today, Apevia is one of industry leaders for PC chassis.

    Apevia designs, imports and markets PC parts including Computer Cases, Accessories and Peripherals such as Case Fans, Power Supplies and Matching Color Keyboard/Mouse/Speaker Kits. In 2004, to ensure the products quality and provide better services to our customers, we have consolidated our cases, power supplies, in-put devices, accessories all under Aspire logo (now they are under our new name "Apevia" logo) From designing the prospective products to offering final products to our customers, each process is carefully and strictly evaluated to meet our highest standards and market demands. Apevia delivers reliable quality products, competitive prices, steady supply and excellent services, as well as its commitment to "total customer satisfaction".

Internal protection

    The X-Qpack2 was shipped in the retail box, and some minor damage was noticed on a few sides and one corner. Let's hope this damage didn't transfer to the enclosure. The retail box itself has matching pictures on the front and back showing the X-Qpack2, while one of the sides of the box has a picture of each color enclosure available and the other side lists the features. Opening up the box, I get to see that the case is protected with the hard type of Styrofoam, but overall the initial visual inspection looked good. Each of the windows are protected with a cling type plastic, inside and out, to prevent scratching during shipping.
