If you're looking for a nice ATX case that has lots of
room for expansion and doesn't cost a bundle, the 917 is as close as they come.
This mid tower case would make a good foundation for a solid system, overclocked
or not.
The 917 is a 17 inch ATX case. Its dimensions are 17.5"
high, 15.25" deep and 7.5" wide. This case has lots of room for expansion. There
are four 5.25" drive bays, two 3.25" drive bays and three 3.25" internal drive
bays. With this many drive bays, you can really load the case up. Inside the
case, all the metal have rolled edges so you don't cut your fingers.
The 917 has a nice curve front face. Gives it that round look.
While some people don't like this look, I think it looks very modern. The only
problem with it is with the floppy drive button which will get recessed into the
case a little too far for my liking.
I find the 917 to be a good looking case all around. I really
like the front design. There are holes drilled at the bottom of the case so the
optional 3" fan behind it can bring in cool air. Out back, there are mounts for
another 3" fan. The funky looking on/off and reset button helps to maintain that
round feel of the case.
The sides of the 917 looks a bit like an IMac logo. I don't much
care for it. The design makes cutting a blow hole on the side of the 917 pretty
much out of the question, unless you want to cut the hole smack in the middle of
that IMac logo.
