XFX Type 1 Bravo ATX Mid-Tower Case Starts Selling
XFX' debut in the gaming PC case arena, the Type 1 Bravo, started selling. The ATX mid-tower is priced at US $129.99. Measuring 518 mm x 232 mm x 562 mm, and made largely of SECC-steel, the case weighs about 10.4 kg. It features a sloped top, with a perforated front, and an edgy, opaque side panel with a flashy red bar featuring the XFX marking. Internally, there's room for some extremely long graphics cards (which is a given, since XFX also sells the HD 7990 under its own brand), and tall tower-type CPU coolers.
The XFX Type 1 Bravo offers room for three 5.25-inch drive bays with hinged valves for disc-trays, and eight 3.5-inch internal drive bays. The trays each feature mounting holes for 2.5-inch drives. The motherboard tray offers eight expansion slot bays, so you can install a dual-slot graphics card even in the bottom-most slot of your motherboard. Ventilation includes a 200 mm front intake, a 140 mm bottom intake, a 200 mm top exhaust, which alternatively be used as two 140 mm top exhausts, a 140 mm rear exhaust, and two 140 mm intakes along the side panel. Front panel connectivity includes two each of USB 3.0 and USB 2.0/1.1 ports, and HDA jacks.

side panel is weird and those curves on top
ok, nice new outsides, nothing new inside. And the usb and audio ports placement is a limitation for "case on the desk" users.
All cases should have a port module that you can place either on top, at base, anywhere in the front panel.
the curves remind me of
Oh I'm sorry, that is an offensive term. I meant to say: Dust mite habitat sanctuary...yes. Because us members of the PC master race must remember to show kindness to those less fortunate dust mites and provide a nice safe environment for them to live out their normal lives in peace away from cleansers and air purifiers which destroy their ecosystems and threaten to wipe out the species!
We all must do our part like XFX is. So join them friend. For just a dollar a day you can save the world one dust mite at a time...
but the top slots are facing the wrong way!!!
jboydgolfer - While I read and most all agree... XFX isn't listening, that lather you worked will/has gone on deaf ears.
