Review on Unleash Your Gaming Potential with the Empowered PC Sentinel II Aluminum ATX Gaming and Professional Desktop PC Case - Black by Victor Anderson

I haven't built a PC since 2011. Since then, the case design has changed a lot. I was a little wary of buying a case without reviews or online reviews, but I trust Computer Update Kings. I've bought 3 laptops from them over the last few years so I trusted them to know what they were doing. It has about an inch of space behind the tray and plenty of attachment points for cable management. The back panel is removed with two thumbscrews. The tempered glass panel looks fantastic; It's secured with four flat-head thumbscrews that look nice; don't lose her. I left the plastic protection on the glass until the end so that there was no dirt and fingerprints. The case has cutouts in all necessary places. Now for the less obvious things. The photos show that air can flow from the grilles to the fans. What wasn't obvious was that the grid continued around each panel. I didn't know if it would be hard on one side, but it isn't. This helps with air circulation. The PSU shroud has a grill above and below the PSU, but one of the bottom ones has a screen. So install the PSU as usual with the fan down. The hard drive cage, which I didn't need (and would have liked to have made room for the cables), cannot be removed without disassembling the entire case. I was able to unscrew it by removing 5 screws but it got stuck in the PSU cover and I didn't want to disassemble the cover. The case has 6 pre-installed fans. The green light is in a wide ring outside of the rotation of the fans themselves. The fans are three-pin, not PWM. However, getting 6 backlit fans and a good design of the front and top all around the case is value for money. I have a water cooled CPU and GPU so now I'm familiar with the fan layout. There are enough screws for them. The plastic top and front will pop out if pulled very hard. This is necessary if you have any type of heatsink that you want to mount on the top or front. The top fans are in the cage. So if your heatsink is slightly wider than the fan, like mine, it won't fit in this cage. . Since there was only enough space for the heatsink under the fans at the top of the mainboard and I didn't just want to attach it to pull it, I attached it to the front. In the photos you can see the green border all over the place and it looks really nice. This is the color of the plastic, except for the vertical line that runs down the center of the faceplate, which is a glowing green stripe. This is the only fan I connected directly to the PSU. Note. I attached the fans in pairs to the mainboard. I say pair because fans are typically 0.5 amps and motherboard connectors are typically 1 amp, so each can support 2 amps. I connected the molex and then connected the 3 pin connector to the motherboard. One connector on my motherboard didn't turn on the fans while others did. The connections on the front of the case are standard (power, hard drive, etc.) as well as USB 2, USB 3 and an LED. I don't have an LED connection. All cables are long enough. Finally, 6 pre-installed motherboard stands and 3 more are included. Well, I love the look of the case, I was able to manage the cables efficiently and it looks amazing. I'm happy with that.
