Anyone can accomplish a decent case with enough bolts and fasteners. Let's face it, acrylic cases are a dime a dozen nowadays. I'm looking for one that's not only easy to build, but one that is functional and has a bit of innovation. Let's see if StarTech's Mutant Mods 6 Bay Clear / Blue Acrylic Mid Tower ATX Case can live up to my expectations. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/acrylic_case/1big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/acrylic_case/1.jpg" alt="Mutant Mods 6 Bay Clear / Blue Acrylic Mid Tower ATX Case" title="Mutant Mods 6 Bay Clear / Blue Acrylic Mid Tower ATX Case" border="0" width="250" height="250"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Packaging:</strong> <p>The case came unassembled and retail packaged in a slim sized shipping box. There was no visible damage due to the great care taken in it's packaging, as you'll see below. The retail box shows nicely placed graphics depicting the assembled case, as well as specifications and features.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/acrylic_case/2big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/acrylic_case/2.jpg" alt="Mutant Mods 6 Bay Clear / Blue Acrylic Mid Tower ATX Case" title="Mutant Mods 6 Bay Clear / Blue Acrylic Mid Tower ATX Case" border="0" width="250" height="229"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p> Inside was another box (we like double boxed cases), and inside it... </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/acrylic_case/3big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/acrylic_case/3.jpg" alt="Mutant Mods 6 Bay Clear / Blue Acrylic Mid Tower ATX Case" title="Mutant Mods 6 Bay Clear / Blue Acrylic Mid Tower ATX Case" border="0" width="250" height="250"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>...was all of the panels and parts. All were foam backed and individually bubble wrapped. Definitely overkill packaging, but very much appreciated, especially for a $165 acrylic case. Broken acrylic should not be a worry here due to the excellent packaging. <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/acrylic_case/4big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/acrylic_case/4.jpg" alt="Mutant Mods 6 Bay Clear / Blue Acrylic Mid Tower ATX Case" title="Mutant Mods 6 Bay Clear / Blue Acrylic Mid Tower ATX Case" border="0" width="250" height="250"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <p><b>Features:</b> <p>All of the Mutant Mods 6 Bay Clear / Blue Acrylic Mid Tower ATX Case features can be found at <a href="http://www.startech.com/ststore/itemdetail.cfm?ProductID=ATXMIDCLRKIT" target="blank">StarTech's website</a>. </p> <ul> <li>Attractive all acrylic construction</li> <li>Easy installation with included step-by-step instructions</li> <li>Provides you with 3 external 5.25” bays, 1 external 3.5” bay and 2 internal 3.5” bays as well as rear 7 expansion slots</li> <li>Spacious interior provides plenty of room for a full-size ATX motherboards and power supply</li> <li>Three 80mm fan holes strategically placed for optimum cooling</li> <li>Width: 8.7 inches / Height:14.7 inches / Depth: 18.7 inches</li> </ul> <p><b>What You Get</b>:</p> <p> Amidst all the bubblewrap, you get eight acrylic panels, an instruction book, a pair of gloves, and a box of hardware. I really was impressed with the packaging. Individually wrapped panels is something you just don't see that often, if ever.
