Comment:
I just wanted to update my review from a litte although ago -- I was the one with the faulty power button. I emailed aspire, and was pleasantly shocked when they sent me a whole new button setup for the front. Exceptional customer service. I'll definately purchase from aspire next time around since I know their service is FOR Actual absolutely none, buy this affordable, excellent case excellent

Effective Fans. Fantastic AirFlow. Nice size power Supply for non SLI dual Core Systems Power supply was DOA. I RMA'ed but then bought the 550w Antec power provide and upgraded and so My rma had expired. Both fans were exhaust fans so i flipped the 1 on the side panel and kept the 1 at the leading of the case the exhaust fan kewl Style

I Really like this case. Purchased this to build myself a new laptop or computer as my old IBM was dying out. Quite very good excellent. Durable and strong. Smooth edges. Effortless access to fan slots and such. Cool LEDs. I like the glassy front panel. Recommended buy! None seriously.

looks fantastic...extremely cool front cover and fans. front usb's and audio ports often a plus. fairly sturdy. cd-roms load in from the front but removing the plastic automatic doors is pretty simple, over all uncomplicated case to perform on. appears to have excellent ventilation too. the rear plate for the back of the motherboard was held in by screws so i didnt have to pop it out which was good. bottom of case where side panel connects was dented...probly due to shipping. the side panel still goes on secure so i'm not worried about it. expansion slots only come with one particular added cover so now my gfx card is slightly exposed but no real biggie. also i have a hole up front exactly where the floppy disk drive would be if i had 1 simply because it just assumes i would get one. i didnt try the stock power supply so i cant offer any information there.

This case has plenty of space for what I use it for. Power supply is fantastic only if your not a major gamer. It was able to run my old 7600gt, two difficult drives, cd burner, mobo, ram, cpu. All OC'ed with out a dilemma. As soon as I put in my 8800GT OC, it fried this energy provide. Somewhat expected as its a cheap 420watt provide. Manufacturer Response:Yes, there is no way that this PSU could deal with an 8800GT. Not to mention an overclocked 8800GT! High-finish graphics cards deserve high-finish power supplies. support@apevia.com

Really stable and uncomplicated to operate with.Came with very good hardware and plenty of it.Fans all worked out of box.Not as cheap feeling as what i had expected.Power provide is pretty decent. Best fan LED does not function, but fan does its job properly Bought this for side pc develop. Core 2 Duo E6600 two.4 OC to 3. GHz. four gigs DDR2, XFX 7600GT OC PCIE, Shruiken Aftrmrkt CPU cooling. 140 gig WD Caviar Blue. i would purchase two added fans for this case, but does run cool. The mentioned develop runs WOW Cata on recommended settings 30fps in org (crowded) and 70-100 though questing and instancing. Great Spending budget case and excellent high quality. Manufacturer Response:The best fan is not LED. The only one that really should light up on its own is the 1 on the side panel.

This case is a actually good case for a inexpensive develop. The power provide will operate with the Q6600. But if you would want a graphics card then you need to have to obtain a new energy supply because this 1 will not handle it. There is a lot of space. No fans in the front of the case. I would like getting them just for added cooling. On the other hand my quad core does stay fairly cool. Overall this case is a excellent case. If your looking for a affordable create or even a very good 1 then obtain this case. It's undoubtedly worth the income. If you are searching to put a graphics card in it then you want to get a new power supply.

Love this case! Employed in my initially construct and not one challenge. As for the psu dunno replaced it with FSP Group SAGA 450W. Just to several bad critiques about the psu that comes with the case. Added 120 mm fan with the other two fans and it's good and cool. Extremely suggested. None I believe the blue leds are cool. It runs 24ǝ in my room. Makes for a nice night light. lol

Good searching, Very good amount of work room, Vent on the back for a Genuinely big fan. Power supply has NO Sata!!! Over all its not a poor case, i would have loved it if it wasn't for a lack of SATA power connectors. I had had to order adapters from newegg to get my new machine working. Its a inconvenience being that the old style power connectors are going out to pasture commodore 64. Over all its a fantastic case but if you are developing a new machine its a good concept to get a power supply or if you want a cheaper alternative get the adapters when you order, They are only like 4 bucks a pop.The only other thing i can think of is it could use a couple extra fans. It would be good to have one for the port on the back, but then once more I'm kinda paranoid about over heating.

Comment:
Low cost, good appear, no sharp edges, removable motherboard tray. Feels cheaps & flemsy. The paint scuffs Simple. It's funny. I ordered this case and an additional 1 that is Precisely like it, minus the front is a bit distinct. They each have the same insides and outer-appear.

Comment:
good case with blue lights. Has lots of room. energy supply does not have sata connections. I use a power adapter to connect to sata hard drive.

Comment:
Came undamaged and every little thing worked fine. Good for the price none

Comment:
Nice roomy case looks great...Leading fan is not an LED fan only the window 1...Space in the back for a different fan..Comes with no directions but that shouldnt be a problem if your constructing a computer system. Feels type of low-cost...No way to cover the Floppy drive bay... Manufacturer Response:Below is a link to the online version of the user’s manual.External Link(s): X-Gear User's Manual|

Looks really good for the cost, decent quality and simple assembly. with the stock fans it has a lot more then adiquate airflow powersupply is decent for a spending budget construct its running my three.two Northwood p4 and 6800GT video card It is rather flimsy but who cares for the price, power supply I got was only rated at 14amp on th 12v rail I believed the new egg pic showed 18amp on the 12v I don't like the drive covers but they are effortless to eliminate and the case nonetheless looks superior, other then that its a quite safe obtain I purchased apevia on the reccomendation of a friend who has a old case back when they had been named aspire, I think it truly is the finest value of cases this is my second one, my 1st was the blue colour but I like the black much superior.

Extremely Spacious Blue LED's and fans side view is a key plus Energy Supply DOA Cant wait to see what it can definitely do thanks new egg

Comment:
-rapidly shipping-wonderful price-overall, very good high quality case-all LED lights work-case is spacious not actually a con, but the inside bays are pretty sharp and got cut fairly deep by 1 of them. Took care of it by hammering the edges.

Case went correct up with out a hitch. Looks excellent set up following as well.. The back fan slot, On some of the pictures it showed either 1 fan slot or 2 80mm fan slots. From soon after have it and putting it together it is only 1 80mm or a 120mm fan.. Other then the fan slot in the back wonderful seeking and great case. Folks are saying it is light metal, but most instances are made out of the exact same metal so not considerably you can do.

Comment:
This case is wonderful, lights and every thing are awesome. Incredibly Sleek and stylish. No cost power supply was DOA, but newegg is replacing it and sending me yet another.

Comment:
wow, super nice case, almost everything is perfect. i got a couple connectors to alter the energy from the energy supply to the drive to sata, im happy none sold it and produced lots of funds , cuz it so cool searching.

Big! I like the CD/DVD drive covers. they make every thing appear uniform. the LED's are, i kid you not, brighter than the sun. Don't look into them! the side fan has LED's that illuminate everything in a cool blue. The front LED's also shed some light behind them as nicely. The mobo tray was type of difficult to eliminate/put in, top 80mm fan does not have any LED's, I/O panel for my motherboard doesn't rather meet up with the mobo, but it works. this case is an great case for an amazing price! also, everyone is complaining about recieving the case dented. this is NOT newegg's fault! its due to the fact people from UPS and FedEx are careless!

Nice paint job, cool fans, sturdy case, lots of room inside, REMOVABLE MOBO TRAY! PSU isn't very high high quality. If you are developing a performance rig then spring for something good. I quickly put a Rosewill performance series 500 in it. This case looks awesome and with the blue LEDs on the fan and in front paired with blue LED fans in my Rosewill PSU it looks even better. This case is the ideal value for the cash imho.

Comment:
There is a lot of room on the inside. it is quite pleasant to look at. for a initial case this 1 is actually exceptional. the LED's do not have an on and off switch and they are rather brught. This a really superior quality case for the price. When I put in the dvd drives I put 16th of an inch adhesive rubber under the buttons that open the doors. this is due to the fact the buttons do not open with the doors that the case comes with.

Looks nice i guess...nice fans they put in it Okay where to start, the case is flimsy as all get out. As mentioned, THE AUDIO!!!! WHAT THE H311 WHERE THEY THINKING!!!! Shorted out a perfectly great gigabyte motherboard that i put in it for a customer. Had to repair and attempting to return the motherboard now to see if gigabyte covers it.....re-freaking-diclous I'm not a hater on Aspire and I have built three PC's because utilizing Q-pack series and they function like a dream, Honestly, its just this one.....Becoming a system builder for the past 3 years (always acquiring from newegg) this is my very first negative review....im generally not too challenging on any individual but if a circumstances lame audio can fry my motherboard, it deserves it

Quality paint finish, no orange peel or haze. Case seems sturdy, side window seems durrable, not thin and flimsy like some other people. Great cooling selections, 2x 80mm fans in front and 120mmኬmm in rear, top and side window fans. (only top and side included) Quite bright lights both on front, as nicely as included side fan. Power supply does not have SATA connections, just molex.Power supply functions fine but appears a little cheaply built. Lower sidepanel thumb screw was a little tweaked on arrival. This develop was for a roommate/friend. He is quite satisfied with the reslult. Overall the case is nicely constructed and attractive. Power and reset buttons have beneficial really feel and smooth operation. Would have been nice to contain a seccond non-floppy three.5" front plate.
