The Enermax LuxuRay arrives in a plain brown box with the name of the product on the sides. The case is protected inside a plastic wrapper with thick styrofoam pieces on either side.
Enermax supply a good bundle with the case: drive mounts, screws, a fold out manual and a handful of cable tidies.
The LuxuRay is home to a high gloss finish on the front bezel, this is made from black transparent acryl with air intakes on the bottom and sides. It is extremely reflective and looks rather nice, although it is a fingerprint and dust magnet. At the top there is a space for a 120mm/140mm fan and the side has two positions for 120mm fans. Neither of these spots are populated by Enermax, so you will need extra fans if you wish to increase the airflow.
The paintwork is attractive and as good as anything else we have seen in the budget sector.
The front panel supports two USB 2.0 devices as well as a single eSATA and offers ports for both a headset and a microphone. On the right is a Power and a reset button. On the far left is a fan button, but we will look at this particular option shortly.
The rear of the chassis has 7 expansion bay positions, rubber protected holes for watercooling and a 120mm fan (supplied).
Each side panel is sealed shut with two plastic protected thumbscrews. We are noticing these being used more often, which is a good thing.
Wow, this is really pretty for such a low price. the fans add about 15 quid to the value, or more. dont often get two fans on a case this size. how does it compare to the thermaltake armor A60?
When did they start making cases? first ive heard of it. This looks not bad. I like the fan idea at the front. cant see too many of the Kitguru audience finding it a selling point, but their fans are excellent, on a noise and CFM level anyway.
I like the way you mix up the reviews here with top end and budget models. Really makes it useful for us peasants who cant afford the wicked tech.
I like the look of this, shall check it out based on this review. If we ever get it near here.
Everyone seems to just be trying everything lately ! corsair used to be memory, now they do PSU’s, SSDs, Cases. Enermax used to be power supplies, then fans, now cases. Same with OCZ.
Not knocking it, and I suppose it is needed to remain profitable in todays climate, it just seems so confusing that all makers are in so many areas.
I wouldnt buy this case, I dont like lighted fans, and while you can turn it off, I think I would spend a little more for something with better materials.
Ideal for my 14 year old son. thanks for the review, never knew they made cases. any idea of a release date?
It should be available in most locations, very soon. if not already.
The video is helpful as the images dont do the fan justice. I like the red LED strip colors. looks great. seems to be a well designed product. What the hell is that graphics card cooler you used !? thats massive, must be two inches bigger than the PCB under it.!
That is a rather cool budget case, have to say.
This case is very good. Purchased it last week. Everything fits and the material is very nice and glossy. Love the free fans and the removable dust protectors. Fans can even pop out for cleaning.Case is not too flashy, was done just right by Enermax.
I have the Enermax VOLCANUS as well. Perfect for my son who likes to play games.
