CaseBuyTech's A.I. 01 Deluxe series Case

Sidney · 23rd June 2005, 06:44

The computer market is flooded with after market computer cases. A lot of design copying happens also,
so it's refreshing to find a particular case with new design ideas. One such case is from Casebuytech is their
A.I. 01 series of mesh cases.

No installlation and temp report; but it is cool.

A case with holes all around /= good air flow for cooling. If it is any truth to it, anyone heard of the word "draft"; i.e. sucking a cigarette with holes on the side, fire hose with holes to increase water flow. Unless, the components rely on radiant heat transfer will a case full of holes or without using a case be better off.

The exhaust fan in this case merely drawing more air from the side panel full of holes (outside) rather than air coming from the front passing over the surface mounted components and absorbing the heat in its passage.

a duct would help, then again, all the holes will make the system "louder" as nothing is blocked

That wasn't a review!

That was, at most, a presentation.
