LEPAtec LP 301 Testing Methodology Since there doesn’t exist a synthetic benchmark for how good cable management is yet, I’m afraid you’ll have to run with my own experiences with the case. Focusing on a few key features, such as strength, noise and cooling and anything else that springs to mind, I’ll run down my views of the chassis and tell you what I think. Results Strength While it’s not going to cave in if you put a bit of pressure on it, this isn’t the strongest case out there. Putting some weight on the top panel causes some chassis bending and the floor panel begins to bend inwards slightly. The side panels can handle an impact well enough, but again they do flex under pressure. The LP 301 isn’t the worst case I’ve ever seen in terms of strength, but it could do with a bit of reinforcement. For strength alone, this enclosure gets about a 6/10. Noise and Cooling I was actually pretty impressed with the cooling for this case. It’s got 5 fans in total, 3 intake 1 exhaust, all nicely sized. They don’t move a massive ammount of air individually, but altogether there should be enough to keep things cool. Also, their slow speed does keep them all running pretty quiet. While they’re not totally silent, they’re impressively not far off. Features and Everything Else While they have used traditional screws for the PCI brackets, LEPAtek do have some nice thumb screws for the side panels, and the use of trays for the HDD cage and the clip mechanisms for the optical drives makes the case mostly toolless. If you were going to have screws anywhere as well, it would have to be on the PCI brackets as they need to hold the most weight, so Kudos to LEPA for cutting back in the right places. In terms of cable management, this case does pretty well with plenty of holes in the motherboard tray that all have rounded edges which avoids cable shearing and finger cuts. However, there isn’t a massive ammount of space behind the tray and there also isn’t a cutout for replacing CPU cooler backing plates. I’m not really a fan of the top mounted PSU, as if you have a really heavy unit it puts a lot of pressure on the mounting screws; even if there is a small shelf to hold up some of the weight. I would also liked to have seen some dust filters on the side panel intake fans. There’s no good reason why they should have been omitted. I’d have liked to have seen USB 3.0 inclusion, but this is a budget chassis so it’s understandably left out. Cost This case is pretty much brand new and isn’t showing up on any sale sites as of yet. I would expect the price to be around £30 though.

LEPAtec LP 301 Tástáil Modheolaíocht Ós rud é nach bhfuil ann tagarmharc sintéiseacha le haghaidh gcaoi a bhfuil bainistíocht cábla maith go fóill, tá mé eagla go mbainfidh tú a reáchtáil le mo thaithí féin leis an gcás. Ag díriú ar roinnt gnéithe tábhachtacha, ar nós torann neart, agus fuarú agus aon rud eile go Springs a intinn, beidh mé ag siúl síos mo thuairimí an chassis agus insint duit cad a cheapann liom. Torthaí Neart Cé nach bhfuil sé ag dul a uaimh i má chuir tú beagán de brú ar sé, nach é seo an cás is láidre amach ann. A chur ar roinnt meáchan ar an bpainéal barr cúiseanna roinnt chassis lúbthachta agus tosaíonn an bpainéal urlár chun inwards Bend beagán. Is féidir na painéil taobh láimhseáil tionchar maith go leor, ach arís dhéanann siad flex faoi bhrú. Níl an LP 301 an cás is measa mé le feiceáil riamh i dtéarmaí neart, ach d'fhéadfadh sé a dhéanamh le beagán de neartú. Chun neart féin, faigheann an imfhálú faoi 6/10. Torann agus Fuarú Bhí mé i ndáiríre go leor tógtha leis an fuaraithe ar an gcás seo. Tá sé seo fuair 5 lucht leanúna ar an iomlán, 3 sceite iontógáil 1, gach meánmhéide nicely. Níl siad ag bogadh ar ammount ollmhór aer ina n-aonar, ach ar fad ba chóir go mbeadh go leor chun a choinneáil ar rudaí cool. Chomh maith leis sin a dhéanann, a luas mall iad a choinneáil go léir ag rith go leor ciúin. Cé nach bhfuil siad go hiomlán adh, go bhfuil siad nach bhfuil impressively bhfad amach. Gnéithe agus gach rud eile Cé go bhfuil siad in úsáid scriúnna traidisiúnta do na lúibíní PCI, an bhfuil LEPAtek bhfuil roinnt scriúnna ordóg deas do na painéil taobh, agus a dhéanann úsáid na tráidirí le haghaidh Cage HDD agus na meicníochtaí gearrthóg le haghaidh an tiomántán optúla an cás toolless den chuid is mó. Má bhí tú ag dul a scriúnna a bheith in áit ar bith, chomh maith, bheadh sé a bheith ar na lúibíní PCI mar is gá iad a shealbhú an meáchan an chuid is mó, agus mar sin Kudos to LEPA do ghearradh siar sna háiteanna cearta. I dtéarmaí bainistíochta cábla, a dhéanann an cás seo go maith go leor le neart poill sa tráidire motherboard go bhfuil gach chothromú imill a sheachnaíonn shearing cábla agus laghduithe finger. Mar sin féin, nach bhfuil a ammount ollmhór de spás taobh thiar de na tráidire agus nach bhfuil chomh maith cutout le haghaidh ionad plátaí LAP tacaíocht with. Níl mé i ndáiríre ar lucht leanúna an barr gléasta PSU, mar má tá tú i ndáiríre trom aonad cuireann sé a lán brú ar an iarainn gléasta; fiú má tá seilf beag a shealbhú suas cuid de na meáchain. Ba mhaith Thaitin sé liom freisin go bhfaca roinnt scagairí deannaigh ar an lucht leanúna taobh iontógáil painéil. Níl aon chúis mhaith cén fáth ar chóir dóibh a bheith fágtha ar lár. Ba mhaith liom a thaitin go bhfuil feicthe USB 3.0 áireamh, ach tá sé seo le chassis bhuiséad ionas tá sé d'fhág intuigthe amach. Costas Tá an cás branda nua go leor i bhfad agus nach bhfuil ag taispeáint suas ar aon suíomh a dhíol go fóill. Bheinn ag súil leis an praghas a bheith thart ar £ 30 cé.
