Intro

What makes the perfect LAN case? Well size, weight, ease of use, and of course modding potential, all play big factors in judging. The 301KE brought to us by Chenming and Voyeurmods goes a long way to fill these shoes.

For those of you who are not accustomed to the LAN party scene, let me tell you, a good LAN case is a must. Although lugging around my 8-bay super-tower Rustbucket can provide a very good upper body workout, your arms tend to fall off when you are done (which is very bad for fragging).

 

 

First Impressions

Upon arrival of the case I was immediately surprised at the weight of the box, it seem just too light to actually contain anything but packing material! But sure enough once opened, there she was. The box did get beat up somewhat on transit, but Voyeurmods had prepared it well enough, and the case sustained no damage. Hands down this is definitely one sexy case.
