Sunbeamtech 9-Bay Acrylic Case by Steve West and Jeremy Lawrence (4/01/2008)
Introduction Time and time again, Sunbeam has proven itself a worthy manufacturer in the PC case market. Through experience, they know that there are many points to making a solid chassis. Today, we're taking a look at the Sunbeamtech 9-bay Acrylic Case to see how well they hit the mark. We'll be checking out the overall design and getting down to the nitty-gritty as well. Let's start with some specs. Specifications
What you get First off, the packaging was a little shocking. The box was much too small to contain a full size case. Right off, this means we're going to have to put the whole thing together. Dean explains why. "Acrylic cases near universally come in kit form. This is for two reasons: it is less expensive to ship these smaller kit packages and it also minimizes the risk of the item being damaged in transit."
The assembly looks like it's going to be a blast with all these
parts. The Sunbeamtech Acrylic case comes with loads of screws. Each
type is labeled and placed in a separate bag, which is nice. Inside the box are
individually wrapped panels, and a set
of cloth gloves is included to keep us from putting our nasty fingerprints on
the panels. The kit also included 3x 120mm Blue LED fans
to go with the "Core Fan" cooling system which we'll discuss in detail here in a few. All this is
explained in a set of directions that includes diagrams of assembly
as well as diagrams of the package contents.
