Chillblast Fusion Panzer CyberPowe Gaming PC
May 21, 2010 | Computer, Hardware | Comments OffChillblast the smallest machine game reached its relatively small size using NZXT case of Panzerbox. With dimensions of 24.5 x 45.5 x 45.5 cm, this mini round aluminum mainly is about 10 cm shorter and shallower than your average PC tower case is still open about the same width . The effect is a case that looks much smaller than it actually is (it’s actually the same height and depth than most mid-tower case, but 10 cm wide).
The highest and the front of the case in the net, separated by metal side panels with subtle matte plastic rails. It feels very solid and is the lightest PC games we have looked after the CyberPower Infinity SE i5 Hercules.
Despite the overall impression is positive, the outside of the case has its negative points too. General build quality is excellent, but the power and reset buttons tiny (which, ideally, should not be the same shape and size) are alarming wobble. They did not really feel they will fall and they have a high elasticity of Nice in their action, but the overall impression is not good.
Similarly, the removable panels are held in place by screws rather than ordinary screws. Long ago we met a passionate case that offered no signs, no tools, and so it’s annoying to have to leave just a screwdriver to open it. Worst of all, it is the fault Chillblast, as Panzerbox NZXT originally came with the thumb-screws, which makes the entire case without tools. Note to PC assemblers: do not make the most difficult cases to work as they were originally!
NZXT Panzerbox offers three 5.25in bays before, one Chillblast filled with a DVD burner. Thank you to good selection of the case connectors on the top panel and the motherboard is used, the connectivity of Panzer Fusion actually the best of all sub-£ 1,000 PC, we have encountered. On the sloping section at the top, the case has two USB ports (unfortunately too close together), micro silver and headphone jacks and an eSATA port.
At the rear of the ASUS P7P55D LX-E USB 3.0 motherboard provides two PS2 ports, six USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0, one eSATA, Gigabit Ethernet plug and optical digital audio output over analog 3.5 mm. Twin DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs are courtesy of the Radeon 5850. [via trustedreviews]
