A
Closer Look:::...
Like
the 6C series, the box is a no-nonsense brown cardboard
affair, though also like the 6C's it does at least feature
a graphical representation of the case inside. It's not
a great way to sell your cases, particularly as the drawing
is very stylized with arty red flashes on it which bare
no resemblance to what you get, but I suppose COMPUCASE
work on the premise that you've either seen pictures of
the case online or that the retailer has one on display
somewhere.

The
Box

First
impressions on coaxing the case out of its polystyrene bondage
was that COMPUCASE have designed and built another very
classy chassis. The silver and black front fascia curves
very gently, as do both the top and bottom edges making
for a very soft and very elegant look.
The
back of the case sports a very nicely formed vent for the
rear 80mm or 90mm fan. Only four expansion slots are on
offer though for the intended micro-ATX motherboard this
is ample. Thumbscrews are used to retain the left-hand side
panel though rather annoyingly, the right-had panel id riveted
in place which could make it harder to "stealth"
your wires and cables, that is, to route them in crevices
and behind panels to keep the interior tidy and keep air
flowing freely.
As
you can no doubt see, the case comes equipped with a power
supply.

From
the side you can see how the top and bottom edges of the
front fascia re rounded, you also get the first clue that
COMPUCASE have once again opted to run with the thermally
efficient Prescott compliant side panel design. I doubt
there's much you could put in this case in terms of components
that it couldn't deal with thermally at least.
