2 Comments on Spire Unveils the Lugen 1603 PC Chassis
I also wonder what the PSU is like.
Cons - top mounted PSU, unpainted interior, no fans included (so add another $20-$40), no front fan mount to cool drives, the drive racks are the minimal crappy 30-year-old design, PSU is probably a fire hazard if it works at all
Other thoughts - probably not okay even for the average budget box, because the air flow is terrible even if fully populated and the PSU cost about $7 to make.
