Aspire X-Qpack

I might buy one of these Aspire Qpack cases but first I would like some views from people that own one.

Whats the quality like? are they well made and do they fit together good?

It's an ok case. Not great, not crap. It does have a PSU and motherboard tray. It is a bit cramped though, you can only fit one HD (if you fit two they'll be smack against each other and probably overheat)

The PSU and optical drive is over the motherboard, so if you need to do something on the motherboard you need to remove PSU and optical bay (unless you slide out tray, but that means removing all connectors to the motherboard) It is pretty tight so need to spend time tidying away all cables especially around exposed fans.

I've used the Qpack, Silverstone TJ-08 and Antec NSK2400 and I rate the Qpack as most annoying case to work on.

If you want a SFF setup then unless you like the design of the Q-Pack i'd recommend either the Lian-Li V300 or Silverstone Sugo over it.

Nothing against the Q-Pack, just the build quality of the other two is much higher.

I cant afford anything else tbh, the case I did buy was damaged so its going back under rma, I chose to have an alternative case and thought the q-pack might be a good bet.

Would the antec nsk1300 be better?

I used the X-QPack for a build for someone. It was certainly bigger than I expected it to be thats for sure. I liked the motherboard tray but it was a little flimsy. The PSU seemed ok. My only other cripe was that the 120mm fan was god awfully noisy.

Good case, replace the 120mm fan.

The case does feel a bit flimsy but I've never had any problems with mine. Personally I prefer its internal design over the Sugo (CPU area is easier to cool) and over the LianLi V300 (no need to dremel out the 3 1/2 bay to fit a large graphics card).

The stock 120mm fan and PSU are next to useless so ditch them straight away. Apart from that, its fine for a multiple HD/SLi rig
