Aspire X-Cruiser ATX Case

Sidney · 14th June 2005, 03:28

This case just looks fantastic. The front bezel layout with the throwback analog guages is simply stunning. The only disappointment I had was with the paint; it's just not as pimpin' as the Aspire pics (and some of my own) would lead you to believe. That's kind of strange; usually a paint job looks worse when photographed, not better. I'm not saying it's crap, because it's not; it's a great finish and I would be hard pressed to make it look better with rattle cans and 2000-grit sandpaper.

Time and time again, this kind of panel air duct is designed and patented by Intel is soley for Intel Board which over time has a "fixed" CPU location on ATX board. Occasionally, you may find 3rd Party board fits the duct location. Put a filter there, or your heatsink will become a dust bowl in no time.

nothing special, if it had an additional 120 or 80 mm exhaust fan at the back or top then one could make plans for this baby.
