IN WIN BQ656.AD80TBL Black Computer Case

Comment:
+Nice little case. +Comes with all the screws and cables you require, even such as the requisite screws and slim SATA cable for slimline disc drives.+Easy installation -The PSU fan is admittedly loud. You don't notice it more than music, motion pictures or your window AC unit, but if you spot this case in a quiet spot and let it run, you are going to notice it. I figured that the evaluations about the fan noise level were exaggerated - they are not. The energy cables are Practically as well short.I did not install a slim drive. That's a purchase for a later date.Case: IN WIN BQ656 #N82E16811108222Mobo: MSI E350IS-E45 #N82E16813130567RAM: 1x G.Skill NS 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM #N82E16820231395

It's very small although nonetheless supporting an optical drive. The case feels strong. Fairly inexpensive thinking of it already has a power supply integrated. The dual chamber style makes it much easier to function with and appears to support preserve components cool. Surprisingly, the 80W energy provide was in a position to power a comparatively conservative Wolfdale-primarily based Mini-ITX create. It also seemed to be pretty effective. It was somewhat cramped and it was difficult to route cables without having obstructing airflow. Nevertheless, given the size, that's to be anticipated. I don't feel it had all rolled edges, but on the upside, I didn't injure myself working with the case. As one more reviewer pointed out, the optical drive is upside down. I also have a slot load so it doesn't impact me considerably.

Unfortunately, the stock Intel HSF is too tall for it. Even with the Silverstone NT07-775, there's perhaps 2mm clearance in between the case panel and the heatsink.The build consumes 35W idle, 78W load running IBT+Furmark. Undervolted the CPU by -.10V and load is now at 72W. That worth's nevertheless cutting it close to the maximum energy but it's a bit far more acceptable. In addition to, I seriously don't see it making use of more than 50ㅴW through typical use.This case was in all probability developed for the Atom/ION and wasn't meant for desktop elements. If the Atom's also slow for you, although, I recommend employing a reduce power processor (e.g. Celeron E3x00 Wolfdale) than mine. The only reason I used the E6300 was mainly because I currently had a single on hand.

This case is well designed and has strong high quality. Effortless to assemble and fit my ASUS E35M1-I mobo. The energy provide has a incredibly little fan which is quite noisy when running. Since I attached it to the back of my monitor, the noise is loud and very annoying. Later I decide to take away the small fan of the energy provide to make it run naked. In case of overheating, I also drilled numerous holes on the power supply and case top rated. Right after that I produced some video playing load tests with this "fanless" power. So far it is operating. I am going to give a complete-load test later to see it can function commonly. parts:ASUS EM351-ItwoƦGB DDR 10600WD blue two.5 500GB HD

Looks great. Uncomplicated to construct in. Flexible mounting choices. Ample space for cable management regardless of the tiny size. Energy provide sufficient to run a Core i3-2100T, Intel 320 SSD, optical drive, etc. The size is superb, and the speed with the aforementioned components is fairly wonderful for such a tiny rig. None to speak of. I'm mainly posting a review to clarify the floppy connector vs. slim sata problem. Based on other critiques I read ahead of I bought the case, I ordered a slim sata adapter along with the case. Slim sata adapters require a molex connector, which this PSU doesn't have, so I soldered it in which is effortless enough and not a huge deal. Appropriate following executing this I realized that integrated with the case was a slim sata adapter with a male floppy connector on it, especially to be utilised with the floppy connector! So the floppy/slim sata connector is a non-issue simply because the correct adapter is included. That's what I get for setting all the cables and screws out of the way till I'm prepared to place in the motherboard I guess.

This is about the smallest mini-ITX situation I consider could be made. It is quite nicely laid out and straightforward to operate with. Good front panel. The fan is loud. It was annoyingly loud sitting on my desk subsequent to my monitor even though I was setting it up. In the equipment rack subsequent to my HDTV it is fine. I bought this situation for an HTPC. It goes along with a ZOTAC with an Atom 230 board. The atom can just stream 1080p video. It is a fine system for streaming hulu and netflix to my Tv.

It's ideal, properly created for its size. None! As far as the optical drive tray goes, well no mod necessary there it can be installed either the way it is shipped or upside down from that and the set screw will just go in on the other side :P

Fantastic solid heavy duty case, the layout is a bit weird with the second compartment for hd and cd excellent value for the price tag. If you want to set it flat like pictured your cd drive will be upside down which is sort of annoying at least I purchased a slot load drive so it's not that massive of a discomfort, also don't know if it's the board or the layout of the situation but it runs pretty hot. Wish I could flip the cd drive might appear at rigging a way to do it where it will look nice, IDK depends on how annoyed I get with it. Don't know if I'd acquire the same situation again for what I bought it for but it's a nice situation runs pretty quiet.

Incredibly Compactwiring management is easyCooling is sufficientEnergy supply is extremely adequate for a atom setup Easy to mount two.five driveSimple to mount slim ODDMounts on back of monitor No case fanonly 1 cable for the front USB Connections.Power Supply Fan is not quiet My setup is AT3IONT-I OCZ vertex turbo ssd 30 GB G.SKILL 2x1GB DDR3 1066I type of wished they would replace the Power supply with a 60 watt picopsu to clear room and cut the case down smaller. I am quite content with my purchase, and would advise this to everybody

Nice case. Layout is very good. ODD cage is shipped upside down and can be flipped more than for normal mounting of drive. Bad power supply. Unit worked great from 7ተ񳏊 till 11ቶ񳏊. four months on a p/s.....not great. First case showed up damaged, Newegg got a replecement to me ASAP. Applied with a Gigabyte D510 Atom board, Samsung ODD, and Toshiba 5400RPM 320GB HD. Noise was never a difficulty for me as this program was employed in the shop, but could be a little loud for a HTPC. I just hope a far better replacement p/s can be located???

smaller form factor. Energy connector wires extremely short. nearly couldn't reach on my motherboard. Come on a extra inch or 2 of wire can't price that considerably. No cooling fan. Case could get genuinely hot.
