HOT FEATURES, COOL CASE

Zebronics brings a temperature probe and more to the sub-2.5K bracket. The Zebronics Rage PC case is a mid tower ATX case with a temperature probe and a 220 mm intake fan for the removable side panel. The fan is lit by 5 blue colored LEDs and does a decent job of upping the style statement of the case. The fan also features a potentiometer for controlling it’s speed though noise emissions were quite low even at the highest speed

The case features 4, 5.25-inch drive bays and can house 4, 3.5-inch drives There is an exposed 3.5 bay that can hold floppy or zip drives. A round metallic power button sits under the drive openings with a smallish reset button right below it. An LCD on the front panel can show nformation like ambient temperature nside the case and hard drive activity and has a blue backlight that compliments the fan’s LEDs. You can select Centigrade or Fahrenheit scales and set custom alarm temperatures for the LCD. There are 2 USB ports on the left side of the display, and mic and headphone outs on the right

side. Zebronics has put in a pre fabricated USB header which works with most front panel pin configurations. The case can hold 7 expansion boards and has notches on the side to slide in cards with wider connectors

Build quality is good though the front panel plastic feels a bit weak. The edges inside the case are well molded to prevent njury. The black glossy finish of the case makes it look quite sleek.

The power supply included with case is rated at 550W and features a decent set of connectors. There are 4 molex connectors, a SATA power connector, a 24 pin ATX connector, a 4 pin ATX connector for AMD boards and an 8 pin ATX connector for newer Intel boards. A PCI express connector is sorely missing here. We tested the performance with a Geforce 7800 GTX, 3 hard drives, and the 12 Volt fan, and we were quite impressed. At full load the PSU provided a constant 11.98V. FOR: Large 220 mm led fan, smooth edges, LCD temperature display AGAINST: Glossy finish picks up fingerprints, no PCI express connector.
