Chenming 301KE Aluminum Case Review

GlitterKill · 02-July-03, 07:57 AM

If you are a PC entusiast then you probaly have seen the very popular Chenming cases put out by companies like Antec and PCToys. But have you seen the Chenming 301KE? Our own Scapegoat puts the 301KE under his proverbial microscope for us.

Check the review here.

Great review, Goat.

But....

Isn't this case the same as the Antec Lanboy that was reviewed earlier? I know this case's front bezel is different and does not include the power supply, but the innards and layout are the same.

Yes foe, they are pretty simalar actually.

there are a few slight diffrences. One being the Fan build into the window, offering a little more airflow, and two the front bezel as you mentioned. and also the window on this is square while the LANboy is not.

But other than that , they are pretty simalar

I still like this one a tad better if you ask me, specialy if you wont to put in you own PSU and not go with the wimpy 350W one of the Lanboy

while looks are a matter of opinion, i dont think this case is very good looking, the lanbot is pretty cool, a standard chenming is awfully sweet too, but this just looks like they tried to revamp a tried and true design by just adding more do dads, not the way to go if you ask me
