Just popped 'da hood' of a couple Dell dimension 4500's i own. One word. WOW.
I've been building PC's since i was 15, i'm 25 now. They build 'em clean. everything is nice, and organized. the fan has a little dell hood scoop to direct the airflow to the heatsink.
The case opens up easily, halfway, with its arms, and there aren't even any thumbscrews. I can take out my devices easily with their plastic brackets. NO CUTS . Lots of space, seemingly good airflow, cables are neat and not obstructing vents and fans...
and apparently they are great at not attracting dust. i found only a very, very thin film of dust at the bottom of the case, and it is used in a commercial environment, and sits on the bare floor.
I'll admit, I'm used to using 'cheaper' cases, and haven't used what a lot of you guys probably use, Antecs, Lian-Li's, etc. But i've seen plenty of antecs (niether myself nor friends are bank enuff to have lian-li's, besides i think the money is better spent on other things... ), and even they aren't as nice as these imho.
I thought they were great value b4 (378 each for p4 1.8ghz) but now i'm even more impressed. i'm not pro dell by any means, in fact i think their service is pretty crappy, but anyone else think these cases are sweet?
