The Guts Continued

     Raidmax includes a 420watt power supply that is ready to meet all of your needs.  With the massive amounts of juice that the new components are requiring a 420w power supply should be the minimum that you go with.

     You'll have to forgive my hasty wiring job, but even with little effort on my part the design of the case allows the cables to fall in a fairly neat arrangement.

     The case is going to stay nice and cool with the supplied fans.  Raidmax included 6 fans, not including the power supply fans.  These fans are not extremely loud fans.  The exhaust fans are temperature controlled, so they will only be at their full potential when your case is warm.

     One of the coolest features of the Scorpio 668 is the front door.  The front door has decorative lights. This is not too uncommon.  However, the two boomerang lights are your HDD activity lights while the blue light is your power light.  These lights actually have a function and are not just their for decoration.

Conclusion

     This case is just about everything you could ask for in a case.  Raidmax sells the Scorpio 668 in Silver, Blue, Black, Yellow and Green.  The price of the case is right around $100US and that does include the 420w power supply.  Now the case is not perfect.  We've discussed the lack of a standoff in the included hardware and I would have liked to see the entire case tools free and not just the side panels.  Raidmax has put together an outstanding case that you can be proud to carry with you at your next LAN.
