CASE                                                                      BUYER’S GUIDE

            ENERMAX Ostrog ADV

            $119.99
            www.enermaxusa.com
            Why You’ll Dig It: ENERMAX applies its MaxBrite LED technology
            as an accent trim on the Ostrog ADV to light up the case’s front and
            top panels. The warm LED glow (available in red, blue, or green) is
            complemented by Vegas LED fans behind the front panel that match
            the color of its MaxBrite strips, as well as matching paint on its
            motherboard tray and matching mesh expansion slot covers. The
            MaxBrite strips also sync with the Vegas fans to run in six modes,
            including On, Dimmed, Flash, Sparkle, Vegas, and Off, which you
            can control using a button on the case’s top-facing I/O panel. Other
            high-end amenities include an oversized acrylic side-panel window,
            quick release panels in the front and top, and support for GPUs up to
            16 inches long.

            Who Should Apply: Builders in need of a case to enhance and
            expand a system’s color scheme—both inside and out.
            Dimensions: 20.3 x 8.5 x 19.4 inches
            Motherboard Support: Mini-ITX, mATX, ATX
            Drive Bays: 3 x 5.25-inch external, 6 x 3.5-inch/2.5-inch internal

            CaseLabs Bullet BH4

            $189.95
            caselabs-store.com

            Why You’ll Dig It: The Bullet BH4 is a great looking small form factor
            case. (We got a chance to test out the Lime Green model, which looked
            fantastic.) The case comes with premium-quality paint, available in
            Black, White, or Gunmetal, and in Tangerine, Lime or Berry for an extra
            $10. The mATX chassis is a mere 10 inches high, 11 inches wide, and
            13 inches deep—a footprint that should fit most anywhere. CaseLabs
            also offers a Mini-ITX little sibling (the BH2) and a big ATX/EATX brother
            (the BH7). The Bullet BH4 is divided into two compartments. Your drives
            install on the case’s bottom compartment along with your power supply;
            your motherboard will lay flat on the motherboard tray that’s just above.
            A dual 120mm radiator fan mount is included to add a fan or an AIO
            liquid cooler’s radiator. Optionally, you can also add a custom carrying
            handle and an LED light bar.
            Who Should Apply: Small form factor enthusiasts in the market for
            a smartly designed, smart-looking mATX case.
