AMK LAN-0334 Case supplied by:
AMK Services
AMK Services continues to build on the success of its 19" AMK-0334
overclocker's case with the introduction of the new LAN-0334. The LAN-0334 is a
case designed with LAN parties in mind. The LAN-0334 case is a smaller version
of the 19 inch AMK-0334 case but in many ways it's even better.
One of the most important components to chose
when building an overclocked computer system, whether for LANing or not, is the
type of case you will be using. Most computer cases need some form of
modification to get it to work really well. This normally involves adding more
fans or cutting a few holes here and there to get better air flow.
The AMK LAN-0334 is now the second case I've
ever came across that needs no mods what-so-ever to produce proper air flow in
an overclocked system. All the needed mods (the fans and "blow holes") are done
for you with the LAN-0334.
The LAN-0334 is a 17 inch ATX case. Just the
right size to bring to LAN parties. There is even an optional carrying handle!
There are three 5.25" drive bays, two 3.25" drive bays and two 3.25" internal
drive bays. This is one more internal drive bay than the bigger AMK-0334 case.
In other words, it can hold more hard drives and it's smaller to boot! Inside
the case, all the metal have rolled edges so you don't cut your fingers. Unlike
the AMK-0334, the LAN-0334 doesn't have a slide out motherboard tray.
