Bij The Techzone kunnen we vandaag een review vinden over de AOpen HX08 kast. Deze kast is al een redelijke tijd op de markt en wordt zo ongeveer bij elke computerboer verkocht als de standaard Big Tower. De kast heeft met vijf 5,25" bays en acht 3,5" bays genoeg uitbreidingsruimte en zit voor de rest prima en stevig in elkaar. De reviewer weet dit allemaal wel te waarderen en weet als negatieve punten alleen de aanwezigheid van stapels schroeven en het ontbreken van drive rails op te noemen (niet echt een enorm probleem):
Well, despite a few missing features I have come to love, namely screwless case design, and drive rails, I am quite pleased with this cases design. This is clearly not your average case, so a few feature tradeoffs I'm used to, for the MASSIVE amounts of room this case affords, and incredible strength of the chassis seem to be well worth it. It would have been nice of AOpen to add some case fans to the 3 80mm spots in the case, but with this case hovering around $90-$100 in price, you wont break the budget buying a few case fans to add in to it. Certainly for those of you who need this type of space, and have a desk this mutha will fit under, the AOpen HX08 Tower is a bargain.
Pros:
- ROOM! If you need more than 13 drive bays, you need therapy.
- A removable board tray that isn't flimsy as crap.
- Solid, Athlon approved 300w power supply standard.
- Rigid, "cut-free" construction.
- Value. For this kind of space, and this kind of build quality, it's an excellent value.
Cons:
- Not a screwless design. A nitpick perhaps, but I'm spoiled.
- No drive mounting rails. Another nitpick perhaps. Ditto.
