Advantages: Quite, quality Disadvantages: Plain design - maybe not for case modders
...Effective air cooling solutions, including an extendible tube to direct CPU heat directly out of the case, 120mm case fan with 3 step speed settings (manually adjusted) which on low speed is very quiet, quite easy access to drive bays, risers etc. HDD fixes into bays with rubber grommits to reduce vibration. For a system with lots of drives/SLI (i.ie. heat output) etc. more fans can be added which does not reduce the internal size too much. Neat and tidy cable/PSU area. Good quality power/reset/USB on case front. AN|D NOT many sharp edges inside. I found the overall build quality very good, even after re-assembling several times it's still very strong. Due to this it does not vibrate even when fans are at full speed and HDD/DVD in full use. Plain, simple, quality and inexpensive...

Advantages: Quality features at an excellent price Disadvantages: None so far!
...I recently purchased this case to give an old PC a new lease of life (and respite from its previous beige incarnation!). I was new to the PC building game, and had been warned that there were numerous poor cases out there, so I was loath to buy an expensive case on the net that would be, well, rubbish!
A review in Custom PC (Issue 32, May '06 cover story) pointed out the SLK1650 by Antec to be a great budget case, with everything required to build a performance machine. I took a punt on this, and ordered through Savastore (their recommended retailer, www.savastore.com). Total cost was £52 delivered, and it arrived by courier 2 days later (big thumbs up to Savastore!).
So what do you get for your money? The first major plus is that it comes complete with a fitted 350W power supply ( a quiet one at that). 350W is more than enough...

Advantages: Almost silent Disadvantages: Need second fan
...guess if your nitpicking the front blue led lights could be construed as tacky, but they can be turned off.
Conclusion
This case is a solidly built, almost silent behemoth. It is a far simpler solution to silence than, for example, shelling out on an expensive water-cooling system. I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who needs a new PC case. At only £80, it is a relatively cheap, high quality case that’ll set off your monster PC. And it not beige!...

I decided to buy this case as i was after a good looking pc case to house my media centre pc components in, and i especially liked the built in display and infrared receiver for a remote control (not included).
The components i decided to put inside... more
As you might expect, it's difficult to write an in-depth review of a case fan without having any expensive equipment to detect airflow and noise, but judging by the way these seem to keep my system cool and stay quiet at the same time, I'd say they're... more
