warm compgeeks $17 enlight microatx case

[hans007]

its got no PSU, but for me anyway it was $17 after coupon + $7 shipping. I happened to have a spare ps3 type PSU from an old HP so this could be the case for you as well if you have a spare .

they sell for like $40 shipped on ebay, and well its a decent case, so figured i'd post this incase someone was building a small box or something.

Well DUH!!!!!!!!!! It is a microATX minitower, guess you just cannot read.....

From the page:
Enlight 5-Bay mATX Mini-Tower Beige Case (No Power Supply)

The mATX refers to the form factor of the MOTHERBOARD that fits into the case, the minitower refers to the SIZE OF TEH ACTUAL CASE.

Oh, I see you're a junior member......my pardon.....I forget the juniors are allowed pure stupidity.


As for teh LINK? crap.....to me that just means that "I'm too damned lazy to open a web page, type in compugeeks, click on case, and scroll half-way down the page.......try it, you might actually find out you CAN navigate the web by yourself..............

Us Junior Members (and nooBs) forget that Platinum members get to be jackasses at the drop of the hat. I thought that was reserved for Fatwallet. Common courtesy dictates that a link to the product in question should be listed. And if not by the OP, it is certainly appreciated when another member steps up.

- no exhaust fan
- no front panel USB or Audio or Firewire
- non-standard size ATX Power Supply
- likely an older model

- nice price, but not what I want in a case these days.

I have two Enlight cases.

Mid-tower Enlight case bought @newegg, LINK, has a front panel which looks just like this uATX case, except it has drive rails, front USB 2, and an 80mm exhaust fan included. Not bad, medium weight, good airflow, enlight 300w psu (with 22 gauge wires :disgust: ). Think it was $24 shipped as a so-called "refurb".

I like this Enlight uAtx case from Newegg LINK. $35+12 ship or about $20 now and then if you can catch a refurb (likely with a crack in the blue bezel). Good air intake and an exhaust port in the back with a 92mm 3 pin fan. USB2 on the front side, and solidly constructed, with removeable drive bay, stainless clip-in bar holds expansion cards (or you can use screws).

Actually since it is a ps3 power supply hole it can possibly hold a standard ATX power supply. It uses the exact same bolt pattern. The only difference is that the ps3 normally doesn't extend as far in to the case. I have an InWin micro tower that had the same layout and I was able to fit a standard ATX unit in. It really just matters how much depth you need for mounting your Optical Drives. Also due to the shrinking of newer drives in length it might work. Just hope this is useful for those that are interested. Enlight cases are ok so if you need something cheap.
