Though some may love windows and lights in their computer case, others just want a nice looking case that provides good cooling and a solid set of features. The Yeong Yang YY-5603 Mars is a computer case for the latter group. With good features like tool-less access to drives and expansion cards; a lockable side panel; and customizable faceplates, the Mars will interest anyone not looking for a Christmas computer case.

I was informed that the packaging my review case came in was not the standard for this case. Therefore, I will not explain a lot about it other than it’s a brown shipping box decorated with some blue graphics. Inside, the case is held in place with two pieces of Styrofoam and enclosed inside a plastic bag to protect it from scratches.
