Frontech Saturn ATX cabinet Build quality and usability

So much for looks. As a smart buyer, you’ll want to look beyond the style issue. When one is buying a cabinet, one has to check its build quality. The construction of the frame holding the drive bays should be sturdy enough to hold the drives attached. The base of the cabinet should be even, so that it doesn’t list to one side when placed on a flat surface. So we checked for that.

While at it, we also checked the construction of the cabinet and the way the side panels fit on to the frame. In addition, we checked how easy it is to open the side panels of the cabinet, and looked for any USB and sound ports provided for connecting respective devices. We noted the number of air gaps provided for attaching extra cooling fans.

So how does the Saturn ATX measure up? First up, the side panels can be easily opened by undoing the screws-you don’t need a screw d river for that, as it’s pretty easy to unscrew with your fingers. Nevertheless, providing a screw less access would have been better, as it is much easier to work with -especially if you are a compulsive up grader and constantly plug in new hardware.

On the front panel you will find ports for connecting a maximum of two USB devices and Audio In/Out ports for speakers and microphone. You can connect up to five fans inside the cabinet, but there isn’t much space for air to escape from the lower front of the cabinet which would hold two of these five fa ns. That apart, the two openings on the back of the cabinet and on the left panel provide ample room for the air to escape.

On the inside, a 3S0 watt power supply is provided with ample power connectors. You can connect up to four 3.S-inch (hard disk) and four S.2S-inch (CD-ROM) drives on the drive bays.
