I got this 2 casing Atrix 5000 and Centurion 5. For better ventilation, Centurion 5 is winner. Got 80 mm intake and 120mm out take. Atrix 5000 got 2 x 80 mm (Fan not supply together) and 80 mm out take. Got ducting at sidepanel include 120mm fan.But if u like led panel, Atrix 5000 is winner. Complete with cpu,gc,hddisk temp connector.

Powerlogic Atrix 5000
is very good innovations in the designs.... but the application is horrible. The initial batches are horrible... the stand-off for the Mb could not be screwed in due to tooling issues. I assembled a few systems for a friend's lan shop *puke blood*.. the screw holes were not tapped well... but this was imporved later but still out of 8 holes.. at least 1 hole is bad.... Home user ok lah.. do it 1 time only.. I had to do it 20 times...for 20 systems... All SI.. stay away from this casing... The LED in the front some DOA some die a few weeks later. The side mount for HD is bad.. the allowance for SATA cable was too little unless you have those L-shaped connectors. Got 1 ~2 systems due to problems had to open up the side panel s few times.. the HDs connction for the SATA HDs broke off. but i must say the tool-less rails for the HD is not bad. fitting was good. and easy. The tool-less design for the PCI cards were horrible.... had to remove it. because the graphic card cannot use the tool-less latch.. The additional COM Ports and USB ports that had to be mounted on the PCI also face issues with the tool-less latch.. The paint job on this casing is weak... came of pretty easily.. All in all... looks good... but bad overall designs with good innovations. Price not that great either... I will take the Centurion 5 anytime.

Was out hunting for a casing for my bro's rig the other day.. His budget was around RM150-250.. and one of his choices was the Atrix.. However, when we looked closely at the paintjob of the black one.. noticed that "rusty" dots seemed to have developed on the surface.. this problem was apparent on units in several other shops.. The paintjob doesn't look like it would last..
In the end, settled for an Enlight 4108.. not flashy.. but elegant looking.. got it for RM175.. came up with a 300w PSU.. Installation was a breeze.. quality of the innards was pretty good and plenty of space.. |

Had several Enlight casings before and they never disappointed.. For the price, I think they give good value. My first Enlight casing was the 7237.. that was a classic.. well-made and sturdy although somewhat plain looking.. was quite a hit with modders too..
