Apevia X-QPack

To be honest, the Qpack wasn't my first choice. I wanted a Lanfire to replace my Xaser but they've since been discontinued. I bought the Qpack because it wasn't just another custom fascia on a rectangular box. It was either that or a Shuttle.

 

I totally agree on the PSU bit but the only aspect of a case that affects how your system performs is airflow. Beyond that the design of the case sets some limits on what can fit inside but after that it's all aesthetics: looks, sound, ease of use... Frankly the components have no clue as to what kind of case they are in. I've built many systems with m-atx boards and would say that very very few, if any, m-atx boards qualify as high end stuff and very few of them come close to the overclocking options of full size atx boards. Additionally most SFF systems tend to stay unaltered longer so some of the considerations of a full size system matter less.

I've built a system (e6300, Asus P5LD2-VM, EVGA 7600GT) in this case (all black, no windows, no lights in the fans) and it's just as fast and stable as if it was in a CM-830 Stacker or sitting on my desk without a case. I was going to use a better power supply but the included one has caused no problems and this machine is destined to be an HTPC anyway.

My point is that not everyone is out to make the most 133t 94m3r system ever and for some people this case is quite adequate if it comes at a reasonable price.
