Not a lot of side window is present in the Diabolic case. A jaw divides the case's window. If you are looking for a full display of innards than this is not the case for you. I will discuss the case's inlet vent, or maybe we should call it an ear, later.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/diabolic/08.jpg"><img src="atruereview/diabolic/08th.jpg" title="CasEdge Diabolic Minotaur Mid Tower Case" alt="CasEdge Diabolic Minotaur Mid Tower Case" border="0" width="161" height="250"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p>Looking at the back of the computer case, the first thing that grabs the eyes is a giant fan hole. That's right, this case supports a 120mm ceramic bearing fan, very rare. The 120mm fan will provide excellent airflow while keeping the noise down. Yes, when run it is very quiet and moves a lot of air. The fan also snaps into a housing for easy replacement.</p> <p>Thumbscrews make getting into and out of the case a snap. These quality thumbscrews provide an excellent grip.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/diabolic/09.jpg"><img src="atruereview/diabolic/09th.jpg" title="CasEdge Diabolic Minotaur Mid Tower Case" alt="CasEdge Diabolic Minotaur Mid Tower Case" border="0" width="250" height="234"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p><strong>Power Supply:</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/diabolic/12.jpg"><img src="atruereview/diabolic/12th.jpg" title="CasEdge Diabolic Minotaur Mid Tower Case" alt="CasEdge Diabolic Minotaur Mid Tower Case" border="0" width="188" height="250"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p>Included with CasEdge's Diabolic computer case is a 400 Watt P4 power supply. A range of PSUs are available with this case from 300W to 400W. Six AT, 4 pin molex leads provide power to drives and fans. Also, included with the PSU is a Pentium 4 power connector for P4 motherboards. </p> <p>This is a computer case review; therefore, I won't go too much into the power supply. Voltages were taken with a multi-meter under a load (hard drive, fan, CDROM) on the lines. A power supply should never have greater than 5% difference between actual and stated line voltage.</p> <table width="393" border="1" align="center"> <tr> <td width="78"> </td> <td width="91"><div align="center">3.3V</div></td> <td width="84"><div align="center">5V</div></td> <td width="112"><div align="center">12V</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td> Actual</td> <td><div align="center">3.40V</div></td> <td><div align="center">5.36V</div></td> <td><div align="center">11.56V</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td> Difference</td> <td><div align="center">3.0%</div></td> <td><div align="center">7.2%</div></td> <td><div align="center">3.7%</div></td> </tr> </p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer"> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
