HEC 6C28BB8S Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case is a great value buy in my opinion. If you don't need lots of extra fans or desire a case with windows and lights then it's a good option. I had no problem with the quality of the build or materials it's constructed from.

Cons: It's not as aesthetically pleasing as some cases, but you get what you pay for and this is cheap. More detailed instructions would have been great.

Overall Review: Some have found it lacked screws. For my application, ie. for an ATX mobo, I had no problem with the number of screws. Also note that instead of riser screws or mobo spacers it utilizes raised metal mounts on the mobo back plate to give the mobo clearance.

Pros: -Cheap -Strongly built -Nice looking -Plenty of space for an average gaming machine

Cons: -Some sharp edges inside de case; be careful

Overall Review: I found out that the side vent below the CPU duct was not made for putting a fan. I still managed to get a 80 mm there, but only 2 screws are holding it, still sturdy enough. I would recommend this case for people looking for a cheap, yet good quality case. I am a gamer, and this case is perfect for my needs. Very good airflow. Get this!

Pros: Good ventilation. Everyone complains about thin steel. It's light and doesn't hold the heat in, what's to complain about. The case is very sturdy if you're gonna use it to hold computer parts. I wouldn't take it to war!

Cons: none

Overall Review: Newegg is the best!

Pros: Nice gloss black finish, well packaged and protected. Came with all necessary fasteners and zip ties.

Cons: none

Overall Review: You cant beat it for the price

Pros: Nice, simple case design. Perfect for modest build. Plenty of room. Nice finish quality.

Cons: Really only room for mounting 3 HDD.

Pros: Cheap and good looking.

Cons: Pretty flimsy metal. One page manual with no descriptions (not a con for some, but still). Might arrive with dents?

Overall Review: Arrived today, and like many other users have noted, it had a dent on each side of the case. The place with the dents were surrounded fully by Styrofoam, so I don't see how it could have happened. Either way, it's not enough to make me return it... just a heads up.

Pros: It has a quality matte black finish! Edges were taped to prevent marring on the shiny plastic. 80mm rear fan has extra long 3-pin cord. Drive bays were just the right fit -- snug enough without being too tight. USB, audio, and firewire ports are placed 1/3 from the bottom of the case, so if it sits on the floor, you won't accidentally kick a USB drive and bend it. There is no cheap cover door over the USB ports to break off.

Cons: Someone mentioned it before. There is a noticeable gap under the DVD drive that the front panel will not cover. I placed black electrical tape from the inside to keep the gap from showing. This is caused by the optical drives set in a recessed position. It is a nice feature, but there is a slight design flaw that causes the gap. Just add some tape, and it's not a problem at all.

Overall Review: Instead of offsets, the case has raised places for the motherboard screws. This is not uncommon. Some reviewers hadn't seen this before. It will not cause the mobo to short out. With an mATX, you will need to use a couple of offset screws and there are holes to accomodate them. I used this case for a customer who wanted a modest build. The quality finish is excellent, the packing was above average, and the tape on the plastic parts for protection was a nice feature that cases much more pricey don't have.

Pros: I have dealt with a lot of budget cases, and I mean a lot, and this is one of the best, maybe even THE best, that I have ever had to use. I ordered this for a friend because it was on sale, had free shipping, and comboed well with a power supply. To my surprise the case isn't flimsy. A lot of cases at this price level tend to be made with that really cheap, thin steel, but this case is actually of a medium quality. I haven't cut my hand anywhere either! The front bezel is also really nice. It has a nice sheen to it and it is of a solid construction. Nothing about this case really screams cheap, save for the fact that it only comes with one 80mm fan. To make the case better I pulled that 80mm off and managed to screw it to the grill area over where the video card goes (could only get 2 screws in but that's plenty for an 80mm). I picked up 2 cheap 120mm fans and put one in the back and in the front of the case. I figured this should help keep things cooler for my friend.

Cons: Like i said, only one fan AND it's only an 80mm. Also, the case doesn't come with many screws. I have plenty laying around, but if you don't, and you plan on mounting a few HDDs and a couple optical drives, you might have to get some screws on your own.
