This enclosure is designed for portability and high cooling performance, it can even fit in video cards like the ATI Radeon 5970/5870 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 480/470. The new VULCAN Micro ATX gaming case, a case for gaming LAN parties, is app. 40% smaller than the average full tower. The small space still has advanced cooling capabilities with 5 fans of which 2 are included. Up to two 350mm graphids cards in SLI or Crossfire can be build into this case. The durable non-slip top handle and anti-vibration rubber support improves portability, so you can easily transport your machine anywhere.

A very flexible case with great performance and a very good price. A few design and build quality tweaks would take it to an even better level but as things stand, it is still an impressive product. It has a huge amount of ventilation which ensures a low operating temperature and the installed fans are whisper quiet at low speed, the setting which most consumers will use.

The Enclosure:

This computer case has a compact steel chassis, measuring 406mm (D) x 180mm (W) x 422.5mm (H) and it weighs 5.80kg. The main body is painted black inside and out with the front panel being a black plastic, steel mesh combination with orange LED sections down the edges, the PSU location has rubber dampeners to reduce vibrations from the power supply.

Building Experience:

There is a section behind the motherboard tray which can be used for wiring, however the location of the drives, PSU, rear LED button and lack of routing hole for the 12v connector make for a reasonably untidy build regardless of this extra space.
