The Apevia X-QPack2 does feature a lot of smaller improvements when compared to the first iteration, the X-QPack. The new handle is made of metal instead of plastic, which was one of the biggest downsides for LAN party fans. There is nothing worse as your gaming rig lying in front of you in pieces, because of a weak handle. The aluminum front adds to the quality and the new colors give the buyer a much better choice than the original. Even though Apevia has included a second fan within the X-QPack2, these are still to loud, especially if you keep your PC on the desk, next to your monitor. The use of mainboard headers would help with noise concerns. The longer front finally eliminates the need to modify the case to fit a standard power supply within the chassis and opens up the possiblity to add high-end components. The X-QPack2 is certainly a worthy successor of the original. While it may not be as fancy as some of the other mATX cases, it is very well priced and should be the perfect case for LAN party gamers and does offer unrivaled portability, thanks to the new solid handle.
