GMC R4 Bulldozer Case Review

While the sample we received is in a more standard black, the GMC is offered in a range of colors.  The box is also labeled for an optional power supply though we did not receive on this time out.  With a street price starting at about $99 when this was written, the Bulldozer case offers a bit more style than most of its competition as well.

The Bulldozer has a distinct look unlike anything else on the market today.  Coupled with GMC's front mounted optical drive you are guaranteed to draw some attention.

The left side of the case is dominated by a plastic vent structure that also contains a fan controller, temperature probe and a 80 mm fan.  The right side is completely plain. 

The back is dominated by another black 120mm case fan mounted in a two 80mm venting.  The bump up to a 120mm is a nice touch though a single 120mm exhaust vent would probably have done as well here.  The slot covers are typical punch outs with top slot open.  The case accessories include an extra cover for installations with a different video card spacing.  Looking back at the other R series cases, it looks like GMC may be using the same core chassis design for all the models.

Taking a closer look at the left side reveals the cabling from the fan controller/temperature probe and the side 80mm fan.  The setup requires a single 12V connector and acts as a pass through if needed.
