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.
Dimensions: 9.5 x 11 x 13 inches
Motherboard Support: mATX
Drive Bays: 2 x 3.5-inch internal, 3 x 2.5-inch internal
