Introduction

Apevia continues to release feature rich cases priced for the masses. These cases span a spectrum of tastes and styles so that most anyone can find something that fits their needs, personality and price range. Apevia's latest case design is the X-Supra. This new design brings a new style bezel and layout to a lightweight SECC chassis complete with tool free everything. As with many other of Apevia models, the X-Supra is also offered Apevia's 'G' and 'S' type setups. The 'G' denotes a side mounted 120mm fan whereas the 'S' models sport a monstrous 250mm side mounted blower.

Flashy functionality at an low price point has lots of charm. On our review bench today we find the Apevia X-Supra is its 'G' type trim for an up close and personal look-see. We want to thank the folks at Apevia for making this review possible and without further ado, let's jump right in.

My uncle had a Supra once

Apevia new mid tower case is offered in 'G' and 'S' trim as we already noted. The difference being the a 120mm versus a 240mm side mounted fan. Our 'G' trim review unit below is the very hip hot pink. Aside from this stand up and grab you color is silver, black, blue and green. The colored portion of the X-Supra is limited to the front bezel with the rest of the chassis sporting a high gloss black.
