BeanTech BT-84 Acrylic case Review

As far back as I can remember people have been fascinated with how things tick. Does anyone remember the visible V8, it basically was a plastic model that after finished you could turn a crank and watch all the inner workings of a V8 Engine, you could see everything from the crankshaft moving the pistons on the compression and exhaust strokes and the cam moving the lifters and valves. This was a great way to explain how an internal combustion engine worked and it was cool as hell. Today I will not be reviewing the visible V8, but if anyone knows where I can get one let me know.  Today we will be looking at the BeanTech BT-84 acrylic case. I have wanted an acrylic case ever since I saw one for the first time at a computer trade show in the bay area a few years ago. I was ecstatic when BeanTech told me they where sending me one. Everyday I was waiting impatiently for the UPS guy to bring me my ultimate case window.
 
 

This is the second review I have done for BeanTech and I was very impressed with the first case I looked at, the Igloo2 Aluminum case.  I was hoping to see the same quality in this acrylic case as I saw in the aluminum case that I had already reviewed.  Well after having my lan box installed in this case for a few weeks I have to say that if your looking for a great high quality case, BeanTech cases are built with quality in mind not profit margin. I don't think I have seen a better built acrylic case.  Some of the biggest problems that I have seen in acrylic cases are not included with this case.  For example, this case comes already assemble unlike some of its counterparts that you have to assemble yourself.  Also, this one comes with chrome pieces instead of gold, which I have found do not look as good when the case is completed. 

 
Here is what BeanTech's website has to say about this case.
  • Transparent
  • Acrylic ATX Chassis
  • Designed for demonstration
  • Drive Bays 4x5.25" External 2x3.5"External 5x3.5"Hidden
  • Expansion slots x7
  • 8cm cooling fan x 3
  • USB 2.0+IEEE 1394
  • 490mm x 205mm x 450mm

Let's move on and take a look at what this case has to offer as the ultimate case window.
