Geeky Office Desktop Case Sep 08, 2005
If this rugged monster weren't a computer case, it could easilly be a model for the next generation of military tanks.
With an exceptionally well conceived interior, everything easy access, it begs to be opened, tinkered with, closed, and reopened again. In short, it's a case for hardware geeks who love going under the hood.

Notable by their absence are the minor design eccentricities which stray from "standard" case interiors: there are no proprietary port covers, oddly designed motherboard risers, or other such intrusive gimmicks. That said, I'm not thrilled by the need to use drive rails again for the first time since 1996, but they work well so its OK.

Slightly cumbersome if you're not used to it, opening the case requires pulling off the front bezel which is secured with heavy plastic tabs. The bezel removes and secures easilly, though closing the case requires slapping the front shut with some force. I worried initially about the tabs breaking, but after over a year of playing with several builds, they've held up without problem.

The case will accept two 60mm fans in the rear, and an 80mm in the front. Use them, as the case lacks good "natural" ventilation -- a common trait in the few horizontal cases I've used. Additional potential heat issues arise from the hard drive sitting on a hanging bracket just above and uncomfortably close to the CPU.

The most appropriate use for this case is for a souped-up office box. I'm succesfully using mine now for all my Linux work, filling the bays with a removable drive, DVD-RW, CD, FDD, and a 3.5" USB2/1394/card reader front panal. I will be buying a second case to hold my MP3 collection to hook up with my stereo system.
The exterior has an overly industrialized look. Although not without a certain macho appeal, it makes, when all is said and done, for a damned ugly critter.

Although the case shares the same problems I've experienced in other horizontal cases -- namely heat issues and some questionable interior layout -- those problems are far less pronounced in this Enlight. For a horizontal desktop ATX case in the $50 price range I've not yet seen any competing case I'd rather use.
