Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of MI-008 Tower Black P4 Chassis with 250W Itx Psu+sata Power Supply
Customer Review: Great case (long)
Summary: 5 Stars
This case is pretty good.
Specs:
* Intel Desktop Board D510MO with integrated Intel Atom processor D510 - Motherboard - mini ITX - iNM10 - SATA-300 - Gigabit Ethernet - video - High Def
* Kingston ValueRAM - Memory - 4 GB ( 2 x 2 GB ) - DIMM 240-pin - DDR2 - 800 MHz / PC2-6400 - CL6 - 1.8 V - unbuffered - non-ECC
* 2 SNV425-64GBs, Kingston's cheap SSD thing. In a RAID0.
Storage: I just got two SSDs dangling in the case, so hopefully they don't escape SATA cables and SATA power connectors. I also taped the CD drive bay shut so nobody tries sneaking a peek at the system.
LEDs: The HDD LED (red) is super bright, bright enough when it flashes to give me nightmares where there are insane electrical storms causing with flashes (in the dark the red flash turns into a bluish white light), so yes LEDs give me nightmares. The HDD light also lights everything infront of it like a beam. Rumor has it that the power light is blue, but I got a green one thankfully. Blue LEDs should be banned as they are super bright and always illuminate half the room, so my green LED is nice. I thought the case had a dead power LED but it turns out that I just attached it wrong, the HDD and Power LEDs can swap + and - to provide multiple colors I think anyway, but I don't know if the case even does that since I never standby.
Fans: This case has no fans (excluding the power supply) and no place for any fans but I got one anyway. I placed a 120mm fan in it anyway and made it fit, I won't be able to get it out though. I placed it on the right side at the front of the case and squeeze slided it as much as I could to the back of the case along the right case wall until the blades hit the rim of the fan, once I heard the clicking sound I moved it back a bit. So basically 1 inch of the fan is covered. In short, in a room that averages between 75F and 85F, my board and system temperature stay low. During the last day it remained at 40C (board) and 31C (cpu). Before I put a fan in at all the system went up to 60C and jumped wildly all over the place but a fan smooths out mountains nicely.
Power Usage: Irrevelant to the article but if you were wondering, it draws maybe 20-30W?
Durability: The case appears pretty durable and resisted my attempts to force technology into it. Somehow when installing the system the board connector plate thing that goes into the rectangular slot wouldn't fit, I then noticed that it was bent out (above), so I just pushed it back in and it fit fine. The primary case frame and the base is very strong though, you can just easily bend the areas full of holes since it's thinner metal.
Noise: This case doesn't make any real noise at all even with a jamed in fan.
