I wanted to use this page to go over a few features that I liked about
this case. |

I will try my best to explain these pictures above for you. The
quality didn't come out that great but you will get the idea. The
first photo is of the wiring harness that goes to the 1 speaker, 2
power button, 3 reset button and, 4 power and hard drive light (If you
click on the picture I have numbered each part accordingly). Beantech
did a great job of making all these parts fit and look good with a
plastic wiring loom to keep everything together and a small speaker
placed out of the way under the 5 1/4 drive cage. The power and reset
button have been mounted on a small acrylic plate mounted behind the
face. Even though I think replacing these buttons would be a major job
it is exactly how I would have done it. Chances are though you will
never have to change there buttons, they are very high quality. The
power and hard drive lights have been pressed right into the acrylic
face and are seated very firmly. The second photo is of the USB and
fire wire
ports located on the bottom right of the face plate. Here Beantech opted to go with steal braded covers over the wires because
of the high heat that steal braded harnesses can take, this was a great
choice. The USB connects to the motherboard just like in most cases.
The 1394 fire wire runs out a hole in the back of the case and connects
to one of your rear fire wire ports as you can see in the last 2
photos. after evaluating all of these aspects of this case you have to
admit that Beantech did a very high quality professional job. Like I
have said many times about Beantech going by there work they are more
concerned with quality then profit margin. |

The first picture above is of the power button, reset button, power
light, and hard drive light looking from the the front of the case. I
really like the placement but I wish the reset button was pushed out a
little farther. The last photo is of the USB and 1394 fire wire ports.

The first photo is of one of the feat on this case. Normally I don't
pay much attention to case feet but these look great. They are plastic
feet with rubber bottoms and they have a thin sheet of aluminum
wrapped around there sides. They really look classy even though they
are rarely seen. The second picture is of the stock IO plate. Beantech
perforated it so it could be removed easily but if you can use it, it
would look great. Since I am using an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe I had to
remove it. Just keep in mind that after it's removed it cannot be used
again. The last picture is of the stock expansion port plates.
Just like the IO plate don't remove these unless you have to. They
cannot be reattached. |
