Apevia X-Sniper Mid Tower Chassis

Installation Continued

Once everything was put back together and powered up, the Apevia X-Sniper showed quite a profile.  The blue LED on the side-panel fan and the blue of the front panel as well as the drive bay clamps provide a sweet and stylish look.  The chrome on the front and the LED panel at the top add to the intrigue and give off an elegant ambiance.

I did notice that the CPU and GPU temperatures inside the case were a couple of degrees warmer than inside my previous chassis, the NZXT Zero, but the Zero is a full-tower case with seven 120mm fans.  As such, the temperatures inside the Apevia X-Sniper are quite reasonable and even impressive with the two included fans.

Conclusion

From the sleek blue bezel to the chrome buttons and knobs to the matte black finish, the Apevia X-Sniper has dressed to impress.  The solid construction coupled with the large acrylic window make way for a view of the many excellent features available.  The tool-less clamps drive an easy installation and the front panel with the LCD thermal display and fan speed controllers is just icing on the cake.  The only real downer was the front mounted mic and speaker cables that were too short to work around my VGA card.  No big deal but one certainly worth mentioning.

Perfectly sized for a LAN case, if you're looking for for a mid-tower with room for all your hardware that keeps it simple but has just enough bling to impress, then the Apevia X-Sniper Mid-Tower Chassis may just be the case for you.
