Overclocker Cafe - E Power Warrior

E Power Warrior Gaming Case

When you're looking at the outside of the case, the most striking feature is the front bezel's chrome style trim, not to mention that big splash of red there.

The chrome on the door is a nice touch, especially with it being accented by the red crest. But as with any of this type of molding, it is prone to scratching, so be careful.

The door uses a magnetic hook instead of the more standard plastic catch design. This is absolutely sweet. It is extremely simple and convenient, much more so than the normal plastic catch design. Behind the door are the four 5.25" and two 3.5" external drive bays, but there is no power or reset switch here. Why? We'll cover that in a minute.

Below the exposed drive bays you can see a small slot with an exposed LED. With the door open, the LED lights up the drive bays and when the door is closed, it shines up through the red crest on the front.

At the bottom of the case, the chrome trim forms an "X" pattern with openings on either side with a metal mesh covering giving the appearance of eyes.

These opening serve as an air intake for the front of the case, and is reminiscent of the X-Blade that we reviewed a couple of months back. And like the X-Blade, they are back lit while the case is running.

At the center of the chrome "X" are our power and HDD LEDs which also serve another purpose.

You now know the location for the power and reset switches, they are the lights themselves. This is as nice an idea as the magnetic latches for the bezel door, simplistic and convenient.

And of course we have our front access ports right behind the door labeled "USB". You can see the two USB ports as well as the audio.

To the far left is a small button with "On/Off" printed below it. This controls your case lighting. With a simple push of a button you can turn the case lighting on or off. E Power has gone to great lengths to make this not only a nice looking case, but very functional as well.
