SkyHawk/Eagle Tech Silver Case Review


Recommended Posts

First looks:

imag00046nk.th.jpgimag00033dy.th.jpg

Visually, this case sports a aluminum alloy outside. Upon inspection of the inside, I

began to realize this case, was totally made out of 1.2mm aluminum alloy. Not only this, I was shocked of how low of a price it is currently being sold on Newegg. Personally I think this case, rivials the leading Lian Li cases.

Upon further inspection:

The more I looked inside, the more I was stunned to realize literally everything was being held in with thumb screws! Add the sliding motherboard tray, and removable hard drive tray, and removable power supply holder, installation was a breeze!

Simplistic front USB / audio / mic jacks:

Simple, front USB and audio / mic jacks, only downside really to this that I could see, no front firewire. :(

Wire holders:

Even for you neat freaks, they've gone the extra mile and included wireholders, with adhesive for holding to anywhere you want on the case!

Overall:

The best case i've ever owned. For the price, it is the best i've seen so far you can get as far as totally cheap aluminum alloy cases.

Well I did not want to start a whole new thread so I will just add my review to yours......

I was looking around for a very nice looking but cheap case for customers computers....looking around I came across the SkyHawk MSR-4610, which is an all aluminum mid tower case.

Anyway I did not know this review even existed so I have all these pictures and I might as well post 'em:p:p

Ok so here is a picture of the front of the case, nice and streamlined and you can see it is brushed aluminum:

Closer look at the brushed aluminum side::woot:t:

dscn25986qw.jpg

Both side panels as well as the motherboard tray, pci slots and the power supply bracket are attached with thumb screws, very good if you are in and out of your case a lot, though if you frequent LANs like I do, you might want to at least make the motherboard tray have regular screws.....so it can't just get pulled out fast....

Inside the case there is planty of room to work....

dscn26090pk.jpg

Especially since the motherboard tray comes out making it super easy to install everything.

Another great thing is it has this bar on the top on the case right behind the power supply. You have to loop the power supply's wires over that which holds them up and keeps the case nice and clean.

One negative, for some people might be the fact that the front USB connectors are all single strands, so you have to use your motherboard manual to make sure you have everything hooked the way it should be

So here it is with my test computer installed:

dscn26327sh.jpg

Well thats about it....ah yes since it is Aluminum it is really light, without anything in it, it is 10lbs 12 oz and with my setup it was only 21lbs and 10oz so it would be really good for LANs:D:D

^ ok.....well I am not reviewing a Lian Li case I am reviewing this one :pinch: Not everyone has the cash or wants to go out and spend 100-200 on a case :rolleyes: I am just informing other people who might be looking for a case that this is a pretty good buy, and looks nice too.....Your comment does not really help the thread at all :sleep:

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.

    • Seems like Neowin has transitioned into being simps for the white house. I can't find a review for the last UFC games that came out.
