Installing the motherboard, peripherals, drives and assorted cables was as easy as any other quality case I've had. The rounded corners sure help to make things worry free. Everything fit as they should. Since this is a black case some of you may prefer to get black drives or paint the drives yourself. Myself, I think it looks just fine using the normal beige ones. Plus I can see them better at night.

With everything installed you have a nice clear view of the main system components. Which is the purpose of having a window, to show your expensive components off. And what better way to do it at night than with a cold cathode.

Final Thoughts and Conclusion~

Basically what Xoxide has done is get a regular lower-end case and modded it. They cut out the holes for the fans to allow for better airflow, placed rubber molding around the edges, cut out and made a window, installed a special front bezel and painted it all a cool black. It is a lot of work and for the work they did do, they did a very professional job.

Pros~ Cons~

Who'd want this case? Overclockers, or anyone who would like extra case cooling. If you live in a hot climate, warm dorm room or have no a/c, then this is something to seriously consider. Those who like case mods but not the work involved, you can order it HERE

As for the Multi Colored light, if you want to highlight the inside of your case then you'll want one and you can HERE.

Thanks goes out to the guys at Xoxide for supplying the C-6 Blackhawk case and the Multi Colored Cold Cathode for this review.
