Case</h1> <p><strong>Interior:</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/08.jpg"><img src="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/08th.jpg" width="250" height="224" border="0" alt="Enermax Black Knight Case" title="Enermax Black Knight Case"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p> Unfortunately, the thumb screws securing the side panels are the only installation convenience. Both the drive bays, expansion slots, and cooling fan ports feature no tool-less designs what so ever. This is the reason that the right side panel is as easy to remove as the left. Both panels need to be removed to install and secure drives with screws on both sides.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/09.jpg"><img src="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/09th.jpg" width="127" height="250" border="0" alt="Enermax Black Knight Case" title="Enermax Black Knight Case"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>Mounted to the floor of the case is an included sound sensitive neon cold cathode light. It sits on top of a navy blue raised platform. The red button on the middle expansion bracket toggles the light between steady "on" and "sound sensitivity" mode. In the lower right corner of the platform is a scroll wheel that controls the sensitivity of the light when in sound sensitivity mode. At its highest setting, the light is sensitive enough to pulsate to the case fans. At its lowest setting, the light will barely flicker to loud claps. Some time should be spent to find the optimal sensitivity.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/11.jpg"><img src="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/11th.jpg" width="250" height="184" border="0" alt="Enermax Black Knight Case" title="Enermax Black Knight Case"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>A white accessories box is included with the Black Knight. It includes a bag of various screws, an AC power cord, and a pair of "security screws" with a pair of keys. Security screws are screws that have a unique top instead of a slot or Philips' top. Only the included set of keys can tighten or loosen them.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/10.jpg"><img src="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/10th.jpg" width="117" height="250" border="0" alt="Enermax Black Knight Case" title="Enermax Black Knight Case"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Power Supply:</strong></p> <p> Enermax's Black Knight includes a modest Powerup 350W switching power supply. This PSU is cooled with a single 80mm exhaust fan and has a manual power switch. Of course, for you over clockers and heavy users, you will want to replace this PSU.</p> <p>The +12V rail can handle 16A, +5V rail can handle 35A, and +3.3V rail can handle 28A. The +3.3V and +5V rails have a max output of 200W. </p> <p>Using a multi-meter, the voltages have the following deviances:</p> <table width="292" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><strong>Rated</strong></td> <td><div align="center"><strong>12V </strong></div></td> <td><div align="center"><strong>5V</strong></div></td> <td><div align="center"><strong>3.3V</strong></div></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Measured</td> <td><div align="center">11.86V</div></td> <td><div align="center">5.065V</div></td> <td><div align="center">3.42V</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td>% Difference</td> <td><div align="center">1.1%</div></td> <td><div align="center">1.3%</div></td> <td><div align="center">3.5%</div></td> </tr> </table> <p>All three voltages are within the acceptable 5% deviance.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/12.jpg"><img src="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/12th.jpg" width="250" height="183" border="0" alt="Enermax Black Knight Case" title="Enermax Black Knight Case"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong><br> <br> Enermax has done a pretty good job with the Black Knight. The sliding bezel design this case uses is one of the most efficient drive stealthing designs I have ever seen on a case. An included LED side fan, sound sensitive neon light, and side window gives the Black Knight an interactive visual presence; especially in the dark. The automotive quality paint job further enhances the cases overall visual appeal. </p> <p>The only down side to this case is that there are no tool-less drive and expansion card features. Overall, the Enermax Black Knight is an exteriorly well designed and visually astounding, yet affordable case.</p> <p><strong>Pros:</strong></p> <ul> <li> Superb paint job</li> <li> Sound sensitive neon light</li> <li> Unique sliding bezel design</li> <li> Includes security screws</li> </ul> <p><strong>Cons:</strong></p> <ul> <li> No tool-less drive and expansion card designs</li> <li> Included fan is noisy</li> <li>Only one fan completed</li> </ul> <p><strong>Ratings:</strong></p> <table width="227" border="0"> <tr> <td width="105">Overall:</td> <td width="183">Excellent</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Esthetics:</td> <td>Excellent</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cooling: </td> <td>Very Good</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Price: </td> <td>Excellent</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Packaging:</td> <td>Very Good </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Compatibility: </td> <td>Very Good</td> </tr> </table> <p>(Ratings Possible: Terrible, Very Bad, Bad, Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent)</p> <table align="center" border="1" width="75%"> <tbody> <tr bgcolor="#0066ff"> <td><div align="center"><strong><font color="#ffffff">More Information</font></strong></div></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div align="center"><a href="http://atruereview.pricegrabber.com/search.php?topcat_search=1&form_keyword=enermax&Search=Search">Compare Prices</a></div></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> <p><a href="atruereview/enermax_black_knight/computer_case.php"></a> <a href="enermax_black_knight/computer_case.php">Previous (Exterior)</a></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer">  </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
