Dynex™ - ATX Mid-Tower Case - Black

The tower is great! I have the stock 92mm fan along with a 80mm in front for more cooling and can keep my computer running at 87F on CPU and 95F on mother board. I have a Intel E6600 processor with stock fan dual channel memory at 2GB. 160GB hard drive cd and dvd player along with cd and dvd burner and 5 in 1 card reader and a geforce 8600 gts graphics card(had to use a pcie adapter cable to use it with stock psu. built it in early 2007 and still runs great! This case is a nice case for the money I just would Recommend to be gentle with the front door or to care fully place some super glue where the pins meet the door so it dosent fall off every once in a while(place it carefully so it is not stuck open or closed :-)

This case overall is a great deal. Its nice and roomy and the power supply is good. Only problem i have with it is the door is a little flimsy and the flap on the bottom of the door that shows the usb ports. When i plug my usb headset in the front, i cant open the door. Other then that, it is a great case and is well worth the money. Recommended to everyone lookin for a nice cheap case.

Well worth the money.if they would have had more i would have bought them all.nice and roomy and enough connects from the psu for anything you would need

My first impression was good. This is a hefty case, very sturdy. Even the side panel window is thick, and has little give to it. The PSU is also heavy, a sign of a good quality power supply. There is a fan speed adjustment on the back of the unit. For those of you that like a little eye candy, it even lights up. There is an included case fan in the rear of the case. The side vent has a connector attached to it to help with CPU ventilation. It seems to have very good airflow. Drive installation is easy enough. 1 screw is enough to hold your optical drives in place, utilizing their latching system. The hard drive enclosure is easily removable, making installation simple and easily done outside the case. When done you simply lock the enclosure back in the case. The only real problem I've had with this case is the same thing everyone else has mentioned, the front locking cover. It's not really a problem, but it does seem rather flimsy. Thus far it has been enough to keep my 2 year from breaking off any more CD trays. Overall, this is the best case I have worked with to date. Very sturdy and quite roomy. Not to mention the fewest sharp edges! (I finished building this system without cutting myself once!)

I like getting what I pay for, and this case fits into that category; plenty of room to create a neat layout and to secure all cables. The PSU worked first time and so far has worked everytime. The comment about lack of PCIE support is for you that use PCIE - I'm doing just fine w/my XFX 7600GTS. The front bezel comes off easily if you just follow the instructions in the manual. And BTW, there is a Reset button for all you guys that miss it like I do. The 5.25 drive bay restraint is a simple but effective system, odd why none of the big boys have gone to this. There is room in the bottom front of the case for a couple of smaller fans, but don't put on the floor if you have thick carpeting. Plenty of hardware to complete the job and even tho I don't usually like cases with doors or panels, this one looks and works nicely. The rear cooling fan is certainly colorful and is quiet. I priced several cases at my fave on-line vendor, and I hate to admit it, but this case was the best for the money - in looks, performance, and cash! Don't go expecting a LianLi or even an Antec, but if you want function and good looks for less than a $100, you'll be satisfied.

The case itself is fairly nice considering the price you pay, my only two complaints on it are: (1) the hinges for the front door are VERY flimsy (it is just two pins in holes for the door to swing on) (2) there is no handles or grips or even sturdy edges to grip the case by, you pretty much have to tilt it back and lift from the bottom (3) also a sidenote: I don't know if it a problem with Dynex or Foxconn, but the motherboard I bought from Foxconn (CS1XEM2AA) NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI didn't line up correctly in the case. It also didn't have the proper connectors from the case to the motherboard and I ended up having to re-ground the wires from a 3-pin configuration to a 2-pin on the case speakers and the power LED. I also ended up using 2 other adapters on different connectors. It finally works now, but not knowing if that is a problem with Dynex or Foxconn I didn't calculate it into the star rating

I gave this case a 5 star rateing I bought a different case about 2 weeks ago for the same price that had a 350 Watt Power Supply with half the bays and it now sits in a closet. The price is excellent for this case because it includes a 500 watt power supply. The case itself is really nice and lots of room inside for ATX or Micro ATX motherboards The power supply has cable adapter for 2 SATA drives already installed so you wont need to buy adapters unless your gonna have more then 2 SATA devices I noticed on the back case on the power supply an adjustment knob to speed up or slow down the power supply fan. This information is not shown anywhere in the product description Dynex wasted money installing a lockable front door. It can be removed and the case without the door is still great looking My room mate was impressed enough with mine that he ordered one, He will be building a new computer in the near future and will use this case for it
