Power supply

The case shipped with a 300W Athlon approved Deer power supply. This PSU proved to be nice and quiet, cooled by its own 80mm fan. It's great to see a quality power supply included in the cost of the case.

Cooling

Cooling in this case is nothing spectacular. Two 80mm fans, one in the front, and the second in the back near the CPU. This is a very typical cooling setup, and far from anything special. It would have been nice to at least see a pair of enormous fans like we saw in the overclockwarehouse.com case a little while back.

Verdict

For $99 colorcases.com makes a great case in the 200 series. A sleek design in combination with a nice power supply makes this case a great value. The only major drawbacks of this case are the inclusion of a merely adequate cooling setup, and the lack of a removable mainboard tray. I would like to see this case in a larger form factor, as it felt just a bit cramped when full.
