Conclusion:

Sunbeamtech continues to impress by offering unique, high quality items at a reasonable price. The Sunbeam Tech TRIO case is no different. WIth the speaker grill style front bezel, integrated fan controller, and analog meters this case would feel right at home next to custom moded cases!

I was unsure whether I would like the analog meters when I first received the case, but felt I should give it a chance. I am glad I did! I was impressed with how great they look! The only thing I would like changed about them is their placement. With them being on the bottom of the case, if your case is not at desk level, it could be difficult to read them.


There are a few shortfalls that could be easily remedied by Sunbeamtech. If they were remedied, this would be a great case!

A search of PriceGrabber (details in table below) shows that the Sunbeamtech TRIO ATX case is priced starting at $73 from places like Newegg, Xoxide, and mWave. Overall I award the TRIO ATX case 4 out of 5 stars... "Recommended".

Final Rating (4 out of 5 stars):


Pros:

• Inclusion of analog meters for Volume, Fan Speed, and Temperature
• Easy to use Tool-less drive mounts
• Good location for front USB/Firewire/Headphone
• Looks great!
• Light weight

Cons:

• PCI Tool-less brackets don't work for full-height cards (installation instructions)
• Not enough PCI slot covers
• Need few additional Molex connectors on power supply
• Power supply cables barely reach drives on bottom of case
• Power supply and fans are of a lower quality

Special thanks to Sunbeamtech for providing the TRIO ATX case to Bigbruin.com for review!
