XFX Type01 Bravo Mid-Tower Case Review - PAGE 1

Computer cases have come a long way from the old, heavy steel frame that sat on our desks with our 50 pound CRT on top of it. Today's cases can be both sleek and functional. The case we'll be looking at today is from a name most enthusiasts are quite familiar with: XFX. That's right folks, XFX, the company best known for graphics cards and power supplies, has once again added a new branch to their tree by venturing into the case market with the Type01. XFX is promoting this case series as a mid-tower gaming chassis.

The XFX Type01 Series story, as told by XFX…

"Introducing the first line of PC cases from XFX, the Type01 series. With a history of providing graphics solutions for gamers, XFX has branched out into developing new products focusing on what gamers want. Always for gamers by gamers the Type01 series was tuned to give you a unique platform for your unique rig.

"PC cases have evolved from the beige boxes we all knew to masterfully designed pieces of art that make a statement. We feel a PC case, though only a shell is much like choosing what to wear, or even a car. It represents something about who you are.

Inspired by the innovation and progress made to date, we continued to think outside the beige box and present to you our design. Developed to float your case and components off the surface where it sits, we’ve thought through everything from airflow to aesthetic appeal.”

In this review we’ll see if it lives up to XFX’s vision. There are two versions of the Type01 case, the Alpha and the Bravo. The only difference between the two is the Alpha enclosure is brushed aluminum and the Bravo is SECC with plastic frame and ABS, acrylic. We will be reviewing the Bravo version.
