AMS gMONO Midtower Case Review

Here are some pics of the computer all put together, notice how tidy it is inside:

And here are some pictures of the computer up and running. My camera, like Brandon’s, doesn’t like to take pictures of light sources, but let me assure you that the blue LED just looks great, and the acrylic bezel spreads the light out so it 0wns even more.

I have to leave you guys with a word of caution if you do purchase this case: Make sure that the screws on the front bezel are not too tight, and always handle with care, because the acrylic on the front is easily cracked or broken. Just use commmon sense when handling and you should be fine.

Conclusion

When we got this case in to the ‘shop, I kinda blew it off as just another one of those no name cases. But once I opened the box I was really amazed at the aesthetics that this case has to offer. It looks really good, is small enough for anyone to use practically anywhere, but has enough expansion capabilities to hold any super-computer. Apart from the few minor flaws described before, this case is really good, and the features than make up for any shortcomings. However, there still are flaws, and hopefully the manufacturer will address them for a future release and help this case really shine. I give this case 7/10. I would like to thank Case-Mod.com for sending this case out for the ‘shop to review.
