Default Apevia X-Pleasure Case Review

Be sure to read the latest review!! Very, very fine job Blake

The temp, and fan speed guages are a good extra touch to this Chieftech, antec type of case.

"Apevia (formerly Aspire) has been a commonly known company behind many creatively crafted enclosures and very unique power supply units. The X-Pleasure case continues this tradition. Today we'll show you if the self-procaimed name is justifed, or if this is just another 'case' of beauty only being skin deep."

I can't say that I like the green, but it looks like a good case. I think the black one looks nice though.

Good review, Blake! :thumleft:

Great job blake. I like the case and the removable HDD cavities are a nice feature. I'm not crazy about the HDD light being on the inside of the front door but thats a minor annoyance and I'm sure there are those that like this feature. The analog gouges are great.

Not to worry, there are little cylinders of clear plastic on the door that transfer the light from the power and HDD LED's inside so you can see them on the outside of the door when it is closed :thup:

Sweet I missed that. The next time I look for a new case this one is on my short list.

Seems pretty pricey when you consider you can get a thermaltake armor or several other high end cases for roughly the same price. It seems like a decent case, but I don't know if I would be willing to spend $130 on an Apevia (Aspire).
Great review blake!

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.
