Case week at The Tech Zone continues as we take a look at the Cyclone 5000 Ultra from the Cooler Guys. The Cyclone 5000 is a mid tower 17" overclocker's case with two high speed 92mm fans and three high speed 80mm fans. Total air flow is a claimed 229 cubic feet per minute! The fans are well place to ensure maximum air flow. There are three intake fans and two exhaust fans.
The Cyclone 5000 is one good looking 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. If you think you've seen this case on The Tech Zone before you're right. The case used to make the Cyclone 5000 is the same as the 917 case we review back a few months ago.
CDI Cool Case. The Cyclone 5000 also comes with a nice 300 watt power supply. At $159.95, the Cyclone 5000 is reasonably price, but how does it perform? Let's find out. ;
