I already am on AM2 and plan to stay.
I was already planning to move to AM2.
I am moving to AM2 because it will support the Phenom.
I am waiting till the Phenom is out for a while but will consider it.
I am an AMD Fanboy.
I am an Intel Fanboy.

Intro

Sometimes things get to a point where innovation is lacking and the water gets stagnant. In the PC case market, I for one have seen what I feel are infinite spins on the same old case. Point in case, the Chieftec Dragon. Now I'm not sure if they are the originator of this design but, I know that its been passed around to many different manufactures who just added something to the front or taken something away... Well, today I have a treat for all you. Maxpoint/Enermax has come out with a brand new case design, dubbed the CS-800TA Voltron, that is sure to cause people to make a double take.

Just to give you a little background information on Enermax Technology Corporation... They are a leading manufacture for high-end computer products in Taiwan and have been a household name for years when it comes to power supplies for the PC enthusiast. Now, Maxpoint Computer, Inc. a subsidiary of Enermax located in Southern California, is here to deliver high end products to the system house, high-end gamming system and retail & online stores sectors. So without further hesitation, I'll quit my yappin' and get get down to business.

The Package

Well, the package arrived via UPS in great condition. As you can see, Maxpoint/Enermax put a lot of attention into advertising the product on its box.

Inside you will not that the case is well protected by a plastic bag and two styrofoam pads.

Stored inside the case was a small cardboard box containing:

- A fold out set of instructions for most of the cases gadgets
- A bag containing screws & stand offs
- A conversion cable from Molex to mini
- Drive bay brackets
- A generic motherboard I/O plate
