What makes an AMK case a great choice for power users all over the world is the added cooling benefits of all the strategically placed fans, which allow you to overclock your system for greater performance while maintaining a cool interior for all your peripherals.

The fans come as an option upgrade to a base AMK case, with many combinations of sizes and locations. The case I had for review was fitted with two 3¼” Side Vent fans, one 3¼” intake fan on the bottom front, and one 3¼” blowhole (chimney) fan. I was actually quite surprised at how tolerable the noise was with all of the fans whirling away. As you can see by the picture of the blowhole (chimney) fan, it gets in the way of your top 5” bay. So, you are only able to use 2 of the 5” bays, if your CD-ROM or DVD ROM are too deep. I only have a CD-ROM and CD-Writer so it would serve me just fine, till I wanted to add something more.

Another feature of the AMK-3333H-300 is the Stainless Steel handle. Not only is it a convenient way to carry/move your case around, it just looks good. I take my whole system out to LAN parties or just to hangout at a friends place all the time. The handle makes this a much easier endeavor.

Overall this case with all its fans is a great choice for all overclockers and alike. All the cooling you will ever need, without all the loud noise that is common to having so many fans. The handle it a nice touch too. The only real problem I had with it was the slot all the wires and the IDE Cables have to go through. This restricts the airflow upwards for the chimney fan. My favorite feature of this case was the motherboard tray.

The Good

·           Sliding motherboard tray.

·           All the cooling fans.

·           The handle.

The Bad

·           The air restriction of the reinforcing piece.
