Enlight EN-72370X3.. Any good?

[jadinolf]

After reading the glowing reports on newegg.com, I went to their site and saw the Enlight Medium ATX Tower Case that they offer for $45. Seems to be exactly what I need for my next computer.

Any comments on this?

Thanks.

I've built about 10 computers using EN-7237s and I really like them, especially since they started making them were just side panels come off. I highly recommend it; just make sure it comes with a decent power supply...

 

[jadinolf]

Thanks. I don't know about decent, but it is 300W.

I have an Enlight 7237 and I like it. I've read that it's not the best for cooling though.

If this is for your future computer, you probably better double check to make sure that's the one with a 300W power supply. I bought the Englight w/ 300W PS from Mwave and I remember it being closer to $60.

i just built my roomate a system with a 7237 and 300 watt PSU...real nice little case

side panels come off with no need of screws. Just pull on the face plate and the side panel can be pulled off. It also comes with those bracket thingys where u can slide cd-rom, cd-rw etc in and out without taking the screws off.

Well, guys, I'm convinced.

Order comes to $63 with tax and shipping.

Thanks to all.

I have this case and am very happy with it. Mine came with a 300w power supply. I think I got it from axion for around $60 shipped. The ps is generic and not an Antec or Sparkle, but it works fine for me so far. Mine came with a front intake fan at the bottom of the bezel and no exhaust fan other the ps fan. There is a place for a rear fan where I immediately installed an 80mm sucking out and dropped temps by about 10C.

It has 4 5.25 bays and 3 3.5 bays. The 3 3.5's can be a problem if you want 3 hdds and a floppy, however, I am going to use one of the unused 5.25's for a 3rd hard drive.

this case is pretty decent. mine came with an enlight ps and i like playing around with those drive rails. only bad thing is that my fans are kinda loud. but i can deal with that.

jadinolf, realize it's too late but just fyi...i've got to say the antec performance series of cases (sx830, sx1030) are excellent. they're more in the $80 range but reviews suggest it's worth it. the 300w power supplies are aces (i've got a kt7a raid, 3 hd's, cdrom, cdrw, jaz, zip & floppy all living happily). Also have to say the case & power supply fans are quiet. these cases also give you option on positioning the two (included) fans front or rear (in fact, you can mount one in front of the hard drive cage). only minus was no filter for air inlet (easily solved by cutting a strip of common house a/c filter media inserted behind air slits of front bezel).

ps these drive rails do work very well

Thanks for the info. Unless I missed it, I couldn't find an Antec mid tower with 4 5 1/4 bays and a 300W power supply.

If, I missed it, I'll look again.

Just make sure that when you pull the front panel off, the bezels from the CDROM, floppy etc. don't get caught and rip off...

i just ordered one of these, and it came in great shape and it suits its job well. it is a little small, but what could i expect for 50 bucks? oh yeah i just noticed that i payed 50 for a week ago, and now its 45? just like my HDD that i bought was 90 and now is 85! man i wish i had an amexblue to fix that!

What brand power supply came in yours? I got that case for a good price, but it had some generic PS instead of Enlight. I have a feeling that if I had purchased elsewhere for a few dollars more, it would have had a real Enlight power supply.
