Next we will examine the case cooling. It has a awesome fan compacity for a small mid tower case. Behind the front panel is designed to take 4x 80mm fans for intake. These fans blow incoming air right across the hard drives which is a big plus. In addition the the compactity for the 4 intake fans, there is three exhaust fans that are included with the case. One in the side panel and two in the rear. These fans are thermal sensitive and will speed up/slow down depending upon the cases ambient temp.This is to provide a more silent case. These fans are all very quiet. Test setup specs are the following:
Inside the case a full size atx motherboard is a tight fit. In my last case I had a 120mm fan on top of my heatsink. It was obvious this was not gonna fit and I went back down to a 80mm. Bottom line- depending upon your cpu socket placement, bigger heatsink fans may not fit in here. Included with the case is a 420 raidmax power supply. This power supply did fine when i ran my setup at normal clockspeeds. When i overclocked the system, i saw fluctuations in the 5volt line and the system would freeze up. I ended up replacing the psu with a 450 watt one I have been using.
Here is what the case looks like all lit up. The orange glow is a really cool effect. The bottom two pictures show what it looks like when i added a uv cathode and some uv sensitive fans. Conclusion: The raidmax attack is a great looking case that will defiantly catch the attention of both PCabusers and non. Its sleek and stylish - and packs allot of cooling for its size. Overall I would give in a 8/10 for functionality and a 10/10 for looks. This case has got to be one of the best looking cases i have seen. Pros:
Cons:
We at PCA would like to thank Koolcases.com for sending us this killer case and making this review possible. Be sure to check them out, they have several "Cool" cases to chose from.
