Product Analysis:

The Chenming 602 is available in two colors - Silver and Black. The case comes with a side panel, however, our unit arrived with a side panel as an option. The side panel style is very similar to that of the 602's predecessor. The handle on the panel is equipped with a lock, which we think is a good option.

The Chenming 602 case is made out of Aluminum for optimal performance in terms of better heat dissipation. This case is also light-weight, weighing in at 16 lbs. More and more manufacturers are starting to use the same type of design on the front. This case uses a front cover to hide the 5.25" and 3.5" drive bays. At the bottom, however, Chenming has included two fan holes for better cooling. We aren't impressed by the design too much; it makes the case look dull, but it can prove to be a good solution for modders who are looking to custmoize their case from scratch.

There are supposed to be four 80mm case fans inside the case. The other two fans, which are noted in the specifications, are optional. Unfortunately, we only found two 80mm fans at the rear of the case. The other fans, which Chenming claims are located at the front, are not to be found. This is a misleading fact on Chenming's website and we suggest Chenming to fix this issue either by correcting their specifications or adding the other two fans.
