I have already covered this case and the psu inside a bit in another thread but since this case has now dropped to 49 euro (or less with company discount) i will summarise and expand for our Greek friends because I think this case is good value.
it has everything you need and is quite good looking if you use all black drives. Myself i do prefer all black because it is easy now to obtain black versions of optical and fdd drives at even the same price as the beige ones. Aluminium silver is very nice but then you are talking about aftermarket face plates etc to get it all matching. anyway i have done a few builds with this case and customers have been very happy, especially next to a silver samsung or LG tft and black/silver microsoft mouse and keyboard,
it is something nice looking and these days it is possible to get a whole lot of good looking and functional computer for the money. Especially if people are upgrading from dial up to DSL which is still happening these days in Greece especially with those hanging on to PII or PIII systems with CRT monitor. Why not get a whole new setup but at a value price with value 19" tft and a new box which is fast and responsive and yes all colour co-ordinated. even with a celeron they can see the additional responsiveness and when the whole package is presented with tft and adsl they are very happy.
anyway on to the case. here it is with samsung dvd (18 euro) and black floppy 8 euro. next is samsung 710v and logitech black keyboard. now the 19" monitors are the ones to get with samsung sm 930bf for gaming at 399 euro and sm913v for value at 269 euro.
for the home user it is nice to specify black LG4167 or NEC ND3550 DVDr they are both 50 euro and very nice. also it is nice to have a black floppy with 7in1 card reader, everyone is using digicams these days. very useful and only 30 euro. I have zero problems with the teac units, they are much less problematic than the sandisk external usb ones. nice to have it internal even if the floppy is rarely used. for zero problems i am talking about the card reader functionality, for the floppy i have had a few fail, but who uses those these days.....
anyway since the price is now 49 i got one to replace the case for my media pc. i wish they would sell it for less without psu because i have no use for that and it will be sold.
so on to the first problem with the case. if you want to install floppy it requires removal of the entire front panel (6 screws) to get the floppy in with the rails installed. not a great start.
you can see the case has external 4 x 5.25 bays and 2 x 3.5 and yes a 120mm fan, my first for home.
