SunBeamtech Acrylic HTPC chassis review -
Assembly and installation of the Acrylic HTPC (2)
The next step you want to do is to mount the two drive bays together, one at a time.
All tools and kit is inserted, even screwdrivers and thumb screws.
Once we assembled the bottom plate, and two drive bays we secure two fans at the front panel, and secure the front panel bracket. Everything is really easy to do. I like to hint to Sunbeamtech though that RED is not exactly my favorite color for the PCB. Though, when in dark or twilight surroundings, it'll look black. But in short, that should have been black.
The chassis comes with four 80-mm fans that glow UV blue when they are turned power up. Two fans need to be installed on the front panel, cooling down the hard disk drives. Another fan needs to be installed on the middle of the case and can be moved around, so you can decide where is the best position for this fan. The last one is located in the rear panel.

You are focusing with your eyes right now eh ? Heh .. transparency man, sorry. Have a quick overview at the PC components specifications by the way.
A review on the SunBeamtech Acrylic HTPC chassis. A fully functional HTPC chassis, with proper cooling, front panel, UV lit fans all at a very sharp price of just 79 USD. Sunbeamtech offers their Acrylic HTPC case in two versions: a clear non-UV reagent acrylic (HTPC-T) or using a blue UV-reagent acrylic (HTPC-HUVB), the model we reviewed.
SunBeamTech UFO Acrylic Cube Case review
Face it, it's short from stunning how many cases there are out there to pick from. So why Acryllic you ask ? Well .. ehm I dunno. it's just looking so damn cool. See if you forget about the fact that kit's the worst material to use as a chassis cooling wise, incredibly "not" handy to work with, scratchable, smears everywhere and oy .. the fingerprints. But all that aside .. if you get the wiring and lighting right, an Acrylic chassis might be one of the coolest things you've ever built.
SunBeamtech Tuniq 3 chassis review
Today we'll peek at Sunbeamtech's Tuniq line of products (Tuniq is actually a subsidiary product series of Sunbeamtech). They have the new Tuniq 3 out, an aluminum looking and styled chassis which in our photo lab was one of the hardest things ever to photograph!
SunBeamtech 'Silent Storm' ATX mid tower
This PC case is made for the people who like silence, good cooling yet do not want to own a screamy flashy lit PC. And the guys from SunBeamtech did a very nice job in designing a mid-tower PC case like this.
