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. It is only 24.99 HERE and I think shipping is like 12 dollars, I bought several so I don't know if I got a reduced rate.......

Some specs:

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....

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

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
