SuomeksiSize comparision
For comparison that's an Antec P180B in the picture. Its a bit larger than the normal mid-tower cases in every way, and the difference between these two cases is impressive. The small depth of the R-2 Toast comes very handy with TFT-monitors. Back in the days of CRT-displays it didn't really matter how deep the computer cases were, because the monitor was the component that determined the depth of the table, but nowadays it's the case and other peripherals as the monitor doesn't require virtually any table space.
Noise
There's only one fan in the case, so there's not much to say about the noise. The supplied fan is far from inaudible, but it can't be called too noisy either. After all this case isn't a model ment for the silence-loving enthusiast. After noticing how thin all the panels are I was expecting some resonances caused by the HDD, but luckily there was none.

Digg the story?! |
R-2 Toast is a very small full-ATX case with an interesting design, and after testing it I think there might be a situation when such small case could come in use. First of all obviously this must be one of the smallest ATX-cases in the markets when talking about the depth, but secondly this is also, atleast in my opinion, pretty nice looking! The glossy side panels and after a while I started liking the front panel as well. I was also worried about how hard it is to insert a DVD to a drive that's installed sideways. In the end this worked out nicely. The mounting brackets are actually installed the way that when the tray is out, it's slightly leaning back. The DVD-drive stealthing plate remained as a bit of a mystery, because if it was on, the tray didn't move all the way up. Maybe it should be used only when there's no optical drive at all? A manual would've been nice. |
