Conclusion

I liked the exterior of the system cases; the quality of the chassis and painting give no cause for me to be critical, either. The selected color scheme will surely attract the attention of potential buyers to the reviewed cases.

I’m also pleased with Foxconn engineers’ striving to reduce the time it takes to put a device into the bay as much as possible. The mechanisms they have invented for that purpose do speed up this process, although I would prefer the devices to be fixed more firmly. I can’t also pass by the use of the “disjointed” connectors on the cables that output the USB ports to the front panel.

An indubitable advantage of Foxconn’s system cases is the use of really high-quality power supplies of Foxconn’s own manufacture. This fact alone makes these cases superior to the ordinary products manufactured in mainland China.
