Nikao cases?

[d00m]

I found a pretty nice case for me the other day, it looks good and has a good collection of front panel connectors and costs only about 50 dollars.

I did some searching and found out it's from a company called Nikao. Any of you guys familiar with that? Anyway, tell what you think about it? Good purchase?

Yes, they're a good company. I've had friends buy their cases. The cases are made by some other companies (manufacturers) in Taiwan or HongKong.

I vote no to Nikao. I bought an X-Jazz for myself before Christmas and I'm disappointed in how my cards fit. It's always a chore to slide one into the slot and then have it match up with the cutout on the back of the case. It is also very cramped, to the point of my 8045 touching the 92mm fan grille of my truepower 330. Airflow is also poor. It DOES look nice and it was inexpensive, but I'm through with them. YMMV.

Sorry to hear that beatle. I don't think any people i know bought that case. That does sound bad though.

I've got a friend with the Nikao case that looks like like a mirror.. it's okay.. kinda cool looking, but I'm more of a minimalist myself. Anyways, I wasn't too impressed. The front USB and 1394 was nice, but the case itself felt flimsy and the paint job was mediocre at best. He accidentally bumpoed it into a wall going to some LAN and a big ol' chip of paint came off.

Almost all cases are flimsy feeling to me though, I'm a big fan of the 1mm Antec/Chieftec/etc etc. tanks
