PCHardware.ro has posted a review on the Antec SX830 case.
Looking at the left picture you may believe that SX830 is a full tower but no it is a medium category box . In fact Antec identify it as a medium Workstation level case. I like that it enters under the desk, quite important for me because it´s impossible to put it on the desk, because it intimidates me . The most important thing about server cases isn´t dimension but power supply power and redundancy support. Although SX830 has a 300W power supply, more than enough for many applications the redundancy is unavailable at this model. Anyway after a little bit surfing I discovered several server cases from Antec, but I won´t talk about them today.Read more
The case has a pleasant plastic design on the outside. The expandability provided should be enough for most advanced users. There are three 5.25" external drive bays, two 3.5" external drive bays and three internal 3.5" bays. Looking from the user perspective I can find that the power button is well placed, accidental pressings being avoided by its position. Unfortunately the reset is not so well placed because it may be pressed by mistake when playing with the floppy disk drive. But who uses floppy disks these days . As you can see there are four stability foots (actually you can see only two) which can be rotated around their axis independently. This is a good feature if you want to put the case between two pieces of furniture and the foots do not suit the space between. Another interesting feature visible on the outside is the right panel keylock. That´s not truly a security feature like the one present in may server cases but a control one. The panel may be easily removed if it isn´t locked or if it isn´t fastened by screws.
