Evening everyone, we have another case review coming up for you readers. We have received a nice sample of Sunbeams latest case called Trio. This seems to have some neat features with blue light meters in the front that shows the fan speed, temperature, etc so it seems to be pretty cool. We will look on the quality also and see the inside of this case space and quality wise so stay tuned if you are in the market for a nice looking case.

The Product:

We can see that on the box there is a picture with the case itself on it, and it comes in black or silver, In my case I have a black one for testing. It's also equipped with a nice plexi window and a precut hole for the fan on the window also.

I said before that there is a precut fan hole in the window which makes it alot easier for you to cool off your computer. You can choose either to have the fan blow cool air into the case or to suck out the hot air from the CPU cooler, it's up to you to figure this out. In the back you can choose to put several different sizes of fans due to the different mounting holes made in the case.

In the front of the case Sunbeam has mounted 3 different meters to show fan speed, temperature and volume unit. They have a very nice looking blue glow when the computer is on. You can mount four 5.25 drives in this case and two floppy drives. In the front door there are ventilation holes so air will get out of the front of the case also.

The three lighted meters are placed in the bottom left corner as you can see on the left picture. Sizewise this is a standard midi tower case. It might be hard to squeeze in watercooling in this but its possible if you have some imagination and time :)
