 If
there is one company that has impressed me over the years with their PC Case product line,
it's Ahanix. From the highly popular and attractive Noblesse, to the
highly innovative Dbox, their cases are usually a step ahead in terms of
technology and overall design. Sadly, some of their cases are extremely
hard to come by and not many are aware they are available. Today we look
at one such case, the Blu3 Mid-Tower. It features one of the most
advanced built-in LCD displays seen on a case. Sharka Corp is one of the
few places that has these available and they have kindly sent one over for
review.

The Box
arrived in fair condition and the case itself was not damaged during shipment.
Included with the case is a USB connection guide, user guide, four rubber case
feet, a modified PCI slot cover for sound cable, a peizo speaker and bag of
installation hardware.

The
case itself is quite light and the overall build quality is about average.
There are no thumbscrews on either of the side panels or PCI slots. The
first thing you'll notice is the striking clear blue power button with silver
accents. There is no case window but there are some vent cutouts near
the bottom of the panel. The rear of the case features a unique
stamped fan grill design.
