  Introduction

For a while now, computer cases have become more than just generic box to stick our computer parts in. People have become more demanding; a case needs to provide good airflow, be a light-weight, sturdy and should not be painful to look at.

Before diving head first into this product, let's look at the background story of I-Star:

About I-Star Established in 1989, I-Star Computer Inc. has over fifteen years of experience in designing and manufacturing Industrial Switching Power Supply, Sheet Metal, and Rackmount Chassis. From the standard switching power supply to high-end redundant power supply, I-Star has grown to be one of major provider in IPC power supply industry. In recent years, we have also expanded our products to include DVR/IPC andStorage RAID industries.

Our goal is always to provide our customer with the best products and superior customer services. In the beginning I-Star focused on providing our customers the combinations of cutting-edge technologies, high quality manufacturing, and excellent customer services. It has been a proving record that these priorities earned a strong partnership for I-Star in today's competitive market.


While I-Star has a lot of OEM experience they are still quite new in the retail case market and today we have one of their workstation class enclosures for review, the S-10000 Nitro tries to be a jack of all trades, it's up to us to see if it succeeds.

The S-10000 is available in two colors, silver or a combination of silver and black. The small animated gif below should give you an idea of what this case looks like:
