Introduction:::...
Seen
a boring, beige case recently? Nor me neither, but there's
more to a good case than the ability to turn heads, as many
of you have no doubt discovered the hard way.
Today
I'm kicking off a series of four case reviews taking in
products shipped over by the guys over at AOne distribution,
a veteran component distribution company who've been doing
what they do since 1991.
The
first case I'm looking at today has the rather unimaginatively
named 8008-B3, a rather distinctive looking chassis that
looks more like a hifi component than a case, and maybe
that gives us a clue as to its intended market.
Manufactured
by COLORS-it, who proclaim themselves the "World faster
[sic] growing brand ", the 8008-B3 is made with very
much an audio/home entertainment theme, it even ships with
a simple remote controller, and would undoubtedly look at
home amongst your domestic audio and video components.
Rather
than break with tradition, let's meander through the specs.
