Features Continued...

     A few more plugs here. You'll notice an audio out and mic in inputs on the front of the case on page 2. Well these are the headers that plug into the motherboard to take advantage of those features. Pretty basic stuff, but I have noticed cases that have the inputs but no cables to plug into the motherboard to use it.

Another one of the options for this case is a blue cold cathode which matches the Z-Blue theme well

     Sunbeam makes the cathode for this case option. We reviewed a multi-colored one a few months back and had no problems with it.. You can read the review here

Conclusion....

     Once again Raidmax hits the nail on the head. They have once again created a name for themselves by cornering the market that appeals to just about everyone that is into value and overclocking. The Scorpio 868 has plenty of cooling power and ventilation to keep any Overclocking enthusiast happy. With the optional LED fans and Sunbeam cold cathode you'll be the envy of any LAN party or next-door neighbor! The real grip comes from the power supply, and although I can't understand Raidmax's philosophy behind putting a 4 Molex'ed plugs on a 420W PSU, I can see why its a budget case. However, I would like to see a better PSU like the previous LP-400W Raidmax PSU we reviewed back in Feb 2003 offered as a upgrade, and I'm sure the enthusiast wouldn't mind paying for it, since the money saved on this case would surely justify its extra cost. Other than the PSU, the 868 is a great piece of work to look at and enjoy! Recommended!

The Raidmax "Z Blue" Scorpio 868W is available at Extremecases.com for just under $70 USD!
