We are often asked what case we'd recommend for a new system. Knowing that preferences differ we may have other requirements that the general computer user. Nevertheless the Enlight EN-7237 case has proven itself on numerous occasions and we give you all the details and pictures in this review.
Have you ever looked at cases from PC Power and Cooling? How would you compare them to Enlight?
I know PC... makes a very high quality power supply and case with similar removeable drive bays.
I just bought one of these last week-end.
It seems to be a decent case. But I think the review missed something about it's power supply. The power supply says it's a 250 watt supply -- fine ... BUT, if you read the fine print on the supply it says to derate it to 125 watts if using both the 5 volt and 3.3 volt supplies. What system doesn't use both voltages????

I have this case with the 250W PSU, and am running an o/c Athlon on an Asus K7M, with Matrox G400TV with no stability problems (beyond the usual Windows ones :eek .
In any case, the PSU I have is the same as the one reviewed (model HPC-250G2 Rev A1-01), and it says +3.3V & +5V 150W MAX, +5V rated at 25A (125W) and +3.3V rated at 15A (49.5W).
I LOVE these cases....however, I have had real problems with the power supplies. On different occasions, on different purchases, I have had 6 out of 10 power supplies go bad within 6 months. Two of those six were DOA. Don't get me wrong....I really do love the case as it is a GREAT value. However....Enlight.....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find someone else to provide your power supplies.
