As
always, Voyeurmods.com ships their cases with protection in mind.
The case came safely packaged in stryofoam padding. Under the padding,
the case was bagged, and all windows were covered. The paper over
the windows easily peels off to reveal the flawless clear plastic
surface.
After
taking off the protective paper, I could finally see the case the
case in all its beauty. I must say this is, by far, one of the best
looking cases I have reviewed. Not only are all three windows cleanly
and perfectly installed, but the case color is awesome. The case
doesn't have a glossy finish, giving it more of an anodized aluminum
texture. The color of the case I was sent is only comparable to
the orange on the Nissan 350z's. The design and color of this case
really give it an aesthetic edge over the rest.
Taking
a look at some of the features now, I move to the front of the case.
The Cheiftec/Chenming based case has the usual locking door - great
for making sure no one steals your CD's and disks, or for make sure
people don't put their own CD's and disks in! There are a front
USB & Firewire ports built into the front grill. Personally
I love these feature because it makes it a lot quicker and easier
for connecting your digital camera or Mp3 player. The power and
reset buttons can be found behind the locking door. Making sure
no one 'accidentally' shuts off your computer while you are using
it. (It's happened to me before...)
The
last outside features to point out, are the 120mm fans and chrome
grills on the side and top of the case. All three 120mm fans are
quad-LED fans and come in the color of your choice. The top fan
is mounted as an exhaust fan, and the two side fans suck in air
to help cool the lower half of the case (hard drives, PCI cards,
etc.).
The
Back Panel
Moving
around to the back of the case, everything looks pretty standard.
The lower half of the case features room for 6 PCI cards and 1 AGP
card. Moving up, the middle section of the case features grills
for two 80mm exhaust fans. The fans are held in place with clips,
so there are no annoying screws to deal with. The top of the case
has room for your power supply. One nice feature here; the mounting
plate for the PSU can is removable so the PSU can be mounted upside-down
if needed. (Some PSU's have the fan on the top, but you may want
it facing down for better heat exhaust.) The last feature on the
back of the case is the use of thumbscrews. Both side panels have
three color matching thumbscrews making it easier to remove the
doors.
