Expansion
The PC-6070's main selling point is the ability to expand. As we said before, this model has many options for drive additions, with its four 5-1/4" and up to eight 3-1/2" drive bays, making the PC-6070 an ideal solution for typical desktop systems to small file servers.There are also 7 add-on card openings, which use thumbscrews to hold the cards in place.

USB ports at the front of cases have become a standard in all new computers. The 2 ports placed below the door on the footer bezel are easy to connect to the motherboard. The internal wires have both the single plug connector as well as separated connectors for motherboards with non-standard USB connections. The lack of audio and firewire ports, however, is what makes this case less attractive for those who use them often (LAN partyists/gamers).

The front panel connector is also well designed on the PC-6070. The bundle of wires for the power/reset buttons, LEDs, and PC speaker can be disconnected from a single lead to allow the removal of the motherboard tray without unplugging them from the board. This time-saving feature is also becoming a standard in quality cases.

Yeah the review formatting is screwed, rather disconcerting to read :)ripdude - Friday, March 26, 2004 - link
Good review, especially the noise-level.Could the new Coolermaster CM Stacker STC-T01 be taken in a review?
Sporting a 300mm fan I'm very anxious to see if this new case is as good as it looks.

This computer case has a bit more foam, and is much quieter:http://www.g-news.ch/articles/nhp200nc/

I would guess that anyone can buy foam and glue it in their case to reduce noise. I wonder if there is a place to buy it online?KristopherKubicki - Friday, March 26, 2004 - link

Is it me... or is the formatting screwed up? I see the bottom 1/2 of the webpage on top and the top 1/2 on the bottom. ;confused;dgrady76 - Thursday, March 25, 2004 - link
Nice, in-depth review, Mr. Purav. Also, thanks for the decibel level readings for similar cases. I bought a Fong Kai case on the recomendation of this site, and my lord if that case is not louder than my air conditioning, washer and dryer and vacuum cleaner combined.
