Chenbro Gaming Bomb Case

Cases & PSU/Cases by piotke @ 2003-11-28

We were offered to take a closer look at the Gaming Bomb Case from Chenbro, the design is unusual and might not appeal to everyone. One of our reviewers stated on our forums that he found the case ugly and unappealing. So we gave him the task of reviewing his "favourite" case, the ultimate test for both sides. Will this case please our reviewer? Or will he keep his negative view on it. Read on to find out!

The PSU

PSU

With this case there was a PSU provided.

Brand: FSP GROUP INC.
Model no: FSP350-60PN

As you can see it in the model no, it’s a 350 watt PSU, cooled by a 120 mm fan.

Some extra specifications:

+3.3V --- 28.0 A

+5 V --- 30.0 A

+12 V --- 16.0 A

+5 Vsb --- 2.0 A

-5 V --- 0.3 A

-12 V --- 0.8 A

Besides the three standard power connectors there are two floppy connectors and five molex connectors.
Well, so far all the usual stuff, let’s stress my system, and take a look if the PSU remains stable or not…

Piotkes rig !
CPU	Intel Pentium 4 2.6 GHz 800 fsb
Mainboard	Asus p4p800 deluxe
Cooling	Thermalright SLK947 + 80 mm enermax fan
Memory	2*256 Mb pc3200 OCZ rev. 2
Video	Albatron Geforce 4 MX480 64 DDR
Hard Disk	Seagate Barracuda 5 80 Gb

Well, I stressed my system for about 1 hour with 3d mark & defragmentation tool from windows XP. I had some problems logging this. MBM always selected the wrong sensors, and gave me 16V on the +12V line. Hmm, seemed not too correct :)

And here come the advantage of a dual screen setup. While on one screen 3d mark was running, I could look on my other screen to the Asus probe. This is a monitoring tool, which comes with Asus motherboards. To give you an impression of the overall system status under load, here's a screenshot...

Really stable PSU, and while stressing my system, it had high enough voltage rails. Never went below 12,00 Volt or below 5.05 Volt, on the +12V and +5V lines respectively
