Got my kickass Case/PSU combo: Addtronics 7890A/Enermax EG651PVE

[OC-Freak]

Got it today!!!!

Written on the PSU: +5V +3,3V Total max: 300Watt, Total: 550Watt, Pick: 650Watt. Should be enough

The addtronics case is also GREAT!!!

But here is some glitches I've found:

-The screw that holds the I/O shield conflicts with the 6 x 6cm fan.
-The internal 3,5" bay had to be removed becuse of my slot1 CPU with Alpha Heatsink/papst fans(no internal 3,5" bays left then).
-the passage between upper and lower parts of the case is waaay to small(already full of cables.....)
-You definitively need a long FDD cable (Phew, I found one).

Well, that's all so far.

you could cut away the small passage so its easier for wires to get through.

Ya its a great case to work on. I have the same problems. I had to resort to putting my hardrives in the 5 1/4 bays and remove the hardrive cage for ample cooling space for my Alpha and Addtronics should supply the user with a long enough floppy cable since that drive is way up there. But also look at the positive. Pull off the Bezel open the case door and your in and working. Open the other case door remove four screws and you can pull out the mommyboard and cards all at once. Features like these put Addtronics cases in a class of their own. Did you pay alittle extra and get the Luxury caster set. They have there usefullness and add to the cool look effect of the case.

Of course I got a set of luxory casters!!!!

And a load of papst fans(some 12dB(A)(8 x 8cm) and some 19dB(A)(6 x 6cm)) Ummm, these are quiet enough for me........

I love the case!!!

But here is what I liked better with my old AOpen HX08 Case:

-I prefer the AOpen motherboard slide out tray over the addtronics one.
-The Aopen case has more internal 3,5" spaces (maybe addtronics should include a removeable hdd bay over the PSU/under the 5,25" space.
-The drive rails feels strange, never worked with rail-mounted devices before....maybe I'll start to like them when I get's used to them....

But the Addtronics case beats the AOpen one of course........

To take a price comparision:

I cuold have gotten 3 AOpen HX-08 Cases with 300Watt Fortron/source PSU for the price of this case/PSU combo, and thats without the fans.......
