3DVelocity would like to thank Fong Kai International - particularly Bill Strader - for providing this case for review.

The First Impressions:

You know that feeling you get, when you finally grasp something that you've wanted for a while? You lay your eyes on it, gently touch it, and a smile spreads across your face? That's the feeling you get opening up the cardboard box your friendly UPS agent drops off. The case has a very curved look to it, curves which actually serve a purpose, but we'll get to that later... Actually lifting it one is surprised by its weight. It oozes quality, from the matte black finish (also available in normal PC gray) to the solidity and response of the power and reset buttons. I have great expectations for this..

The Back :

Yes, we'll start backward. Here we see the rear of the FK-320. It appears fairly normal. The FK-320 is billed as an enterprise class workstation capable of handling up to dual Xeons. It should have no problem fitting just about any motherboard (Micro-ATX, ATX, XATX, and Full AT)) you would want to throw at it, and it held our Asus A7V w/ SuperORB without difficulty. The only eye-grabbing feature of the rear is the size of the fan vent.

Also of note is the means for removal of the side panels. Unlike the cases in our recent reviews, Fong Kai went with a more traditional design. Each side panel has two locking mechanisms. To remove a panel simply flip the switch and pull back on the indentation. For added security (and peace of mind) two thumb screws accompany each side panel, as well.

One thing to note is that this case does not include a lock. Rather, there is a loop where a padlock may be fitted.
