Introduction
Whether you're fixing up a system for your customers, friends, relatives or yourself, the chassis is probably the hardware that is given the least attention, except maybe how it looks like on the outside. You might be thinking, "Heck! If I can put everything in and power it up, I'm a happy man!!" Well, you're almost right!

But then, things starts to get ugly. You can't seem to find a way into the case coz you missed out a tiny screw somewhere and you started to curse coz there's no manual to show you where it is. Hey, what do you expect from a cheapo case? You also lost a few pints of blood being cut by the sharp edges on the case structure. Worse of all, the PSU decided to die out on you after you plugged in everythng!! A little extreme, you might say, but it has happened to me before...and it could happen to you.

Being a puter tech. for almost two years now, I know that a good quality case can make a difference when assembling and even upgrading a PC. And the Enlight Endura EN7237 series is one fine example. Before I go into details, lets take a look at the specs, direct from Enlight;

The Enlight Endura that I got is a new revision of their EN7237. What I meant by this is that the new revision now features a three piece cover instead of the single U-shaped cover of it's predecessor, so you'll ony need to remove one side of the case to gain access to what's inside. I guessed Enlight realised this and changed it to help sell it better! Not that it was doing badly in it's sales!!

The front bezel design of the EN7237 is nothing spectacular, nor is it dull. And how many Mid ATX case you know offers 4 5.25" external bays and two 3.5" external bays?? That's a lot for a Mid ATX! I also have no complains about the "Power" and "Reset" buttons on the EN7237. Not too big, but not too small either. Four rubber feets are located at the bottom of the case and helps to ensure the case stays firmly seated where you put it.
