The KingWin Case comes with three
preinstalled case windows;
one on each side of the motherboard as well as a window on the top
of
the computer with a fan and vent. Inside the system are two blue Sunbeam Cold Cathodes as well as two Sunbeam
cold
cathode 80mm case fans at the front.
The
attention to detail
with this computer was excellent, the tech's that built this system did a bang
up job at cable management using zip ties to keep everything in order.
Airflow inside the case was kept open as the Serial ATA cables and rounded floppy drive
cables allowed air to pass easily from the intake to exhaust fans.
Now if only Creative used a rounded data cable between the Audigy 2 and
the front panel I/O controller things would have been perfect. ;-)
Please note: while the
MSI nBox FX5900 Ultra
is shown in the images, a
reference nVidia FX5900 comes with the system and was used for
all benchmarks.
The construction of the KingWin Aluminum case is very sold, and the aluminum used was nice and
thick. You're not going to cut yourself when working inside this case either,
everything is rounded over. I couldn't find a sharp edge even after
looking specifically for one. The side panels
and PCI/AGP devices are all held together via thumb screws which makes
access a tool-free affair.
You'll need to get the screw
driver when attaching the HDD's, floppy and the 5 1/4" devices however. I
love how powerful the Power/HDD LED's are, they're so strong they're almost
blinding to the eye.
