Sentey Burton – GS-6500

The Burton has room for two more fans at the bottom of the case. Both areas can accommodate either a 120mm or 140mm fan. The confusing part about this is that the one area is where your power supply is supposed to go. I understand that you may want a fan here, but unless you figure out some other area to mount your PSU (which there isn’t) it seems that this is an unusable feature. However, speaking of the PSU being mounted on the bottom, Sentey does try to ensure that there will be minimal vibration caused by your PSU when installed; there are 2 rubber feet and an insulated mounting area.

The motherboard tray is not removable and I don’t consider this a bad thing. In fact, some of the top chassis’s made do not feature removable motherboard trays. There is a cutout for your standard motherboards so you have access to the backplate of your CPU cooling system. This makes things nice and easy should you purchase another cooler and want to install it without removing everything from your case. Along with the CPU cutout, there are a number (3) of cutouts for cable management that helps to keep your installation tidy. No need to worry about fraying or cutting any wires as everything is rolled steel.

So, you may be asking yourself, what does this all boil down to? Well, to put it lightly, you have a case here that resembles Adele, it almost had it all. The Burton has a lot of things going for it; I love the hard drive cage and the side cooling arm. I like the sliding door at the top a lot, and the realization that proper attention means accessibility of USB and Media on a Full Tower case that may be under your desk. I like the design elements on the front of the Burton too, but I just can’t get past the use of low quality plastics throughout the chassis. For this reason and this reason only, I can’t praise the design.
