Today, we have one of their enclosures to put to the test but will it be able to compete with the big boys already on the market that are known to be top notch when it comes to cooling and performance. The case certainly looks the part with a unique front panel design and innovative features. Well there’s only one way to find out how good it really is, let’s begin.

Logisys Computer CS51WBK Black Mid Tower

Case-51W is an enhanced version of our case-51, which was named from "Area 51" a popular symbol for the alleged U.S. Government UFO cover-up. The case was highlighted by the two exaggerated alien eyes lit up by blue LED light, an alien head power and reset buttons and a large rectangular side window built-in with side 4 LED RGBY fan. This case features plastic covered thumb screws for easy upgrade and modding needs. A 450w ATX power supply is also included. For easy and convenient external PnP access, we have meticulously designed the USB and audio outputs in the middle instead of in the bottom of the front panel.
