Conclusion:
This is the first of Tagan’s range of cases I’ve been able to review, and while in the past I have been very impressed with Tagan’s products such as their power supply units, which were always well constructed, quiet and powerful with a host of useful features, I can’t say I’m too impressed with this case.
For a Super-Mid tower case it is nice and big, so fitting lots of components inside will be a breeze, the standard cooling setup is excellent if not a little over the top and it is rather well constructed in terms of its build quality, but there are just a few too many things that could have been done a whole lot better. Things such as the door, the internal cabling and power for the fans, the drive slides, holes for the water cooling just to name a few.
The Tagan APlus CS El-Diablo sells online for just over AU$180, which doesn’t include a power supply, but you do get a LOT of case for your money, and for people after a case that looks different and will get attention, has lots of standard lighting and lots of space, this would be a great case for them, and if Tagan can make some revisions on this case and fix a few of its downfalls, it could be a great case for everyone else too.
Pros:
- Lots of space inside
- Lots of drives bays
- Huge cooling fans included as standard
- Good (Interesting) looks
- Cool lighting as standard
Cons:
- Internal cabling for the cooling fans is confusing and requires 4 Molex connectors
- Door won’t open more than 90 degrees, stay open or come off.
- Very few Anti-Noise measures
- Inconvenient location of I/O Ports on top of case
