Page 2 of 8 Let's get down to business, shall we? First of all, this thing is a beast. When I saw on the website that it was built of both steel and aluminum, I knew it was going to be a heavy case (15.8kg/35lbs) but it still managed to exceed my expectations. When I went to pick it up from the receiving dock, I was a bit shocked. My first thought was, "is this thing going to fit under my desk?" As you can see in the shot above, however, the case is thankfully much smaller than the box that it ships in. The packaging is, without a doubt, sturdy. The foam inserts in the box are not styrofoam, like most. They're actually the spongy, shipping foam (I really don't know how else to describe it, but I hope you get what I mean). This is a definite plus for me, because I keep all of my case boxes for moving, & this case would easily go back into its box if necessary. Once I got it out of the box, & my fears were assuaged, the second thing that I noticed was that this case was looong. My fears about the height were misplaced, because I'd been looking at the package the wrong way. This case is actually much longer than most, but about the same height as most. The aluminum/steel construction made the case extremely sturdy; not wobbly like most all-aluminum cases. The entire front door is made of solid aluminum, & feels Manual, backplate, screwsactually quite heavy for such a light metal. This is a good spot for the specs, so let's throw those in here (from the XGBox page): SPECIFICATIONS  Type Mid ATX Tower Mainboard ATX Expansion Slots 7 Drive Bays 5.25 x 5 Open Bay 3.25 x 2 Open Bay 3.25 x 3 Hidden Power Supply N/A Cooling System 2x92mm Side Fans 1x92mm Top Fan 1x80mm Rear Fan Top I/O Ports IEEE1394, USB2.0x2, Audio Dimensions 558 x 219 x 477 mm (DxWxH) Material 1.0mm SECC Color Options Silver / Black << Start < Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next > End >>
