The Venus is a solidly built case that defiantly fits in the SFF world. Like a very elegantly styled sculpture the Venus is a very good looking case. The front bezel offers access points for you to hook up your USB/Firewire peripherals as well as a pair of headphones or a microphone. The glowing blue ring reminds you that the computer is up and running.

On the inside of the case you’re provided with twice the options of the SFF cubes that are on the market today, which allows for you to have twice the number of drives without sacrificing a lot of space. The space inside the Venus was very well thought out and things were placed in easily accessible locations to the motherboard. The included 80mm fan helps to move air through the case and keep things cool. The case does allow for the addition of an extra fan in the rear underneath the stock one.

While I have no big complaints, the inability to add intake fans to the front of the case to assist in cooling of the case may hamper attempts at maintaining low case and CPU temps when overclocking. The Venus is defiantly a top shelf case that provides beauty while as well as form and function. When you take into consideration it's size and price, this is definatly a great deal for the SFF people out there that want more room than the traditional SFF Cubes.




Pros:

~ Convenient drive mounting system
~ QUIET operation
~ Sturdy construction.
~ Tooless side panel. allows for easy removal
~ USB/Firewire/Audio ports in front bezel

Cons:
~ No options for front (intake) case fans

A big thanks to Enermax for sending the Venus for review. Keep up the good work!
