Introduction

Over a year ago we had the pleasure of reviewing a case that went by the name of the X-QPack, this particular case was built by a company named Aspire.  Thing have changed quite a bit in a years time and now we find ourselves ready to review the 2nd version of this Micro-ATX case and Aspire has changed their name to Apevia.  So come on along as we look at this new case and see if it has made it improvements over the original model.

About Apevia

Apevia Corporation is the new name for Aspire International Corporation which was established in March 1999. Due to lots of confusions between Aspire cases, Acer's Aspire Notebook systems and Aspire Credit Cards, we have decided to change our name to Apevia Corporation in June 2006. With the strategy of standing behind our customers to ensure their total satisfaction, Apevia has been working closely with its customers and focusing on providing innovative quality PC products and services to keep up with the fast changing market. Today, Apevia is one of industry leaders for PC chassis.
 

Apevia designs, imports and markets PC parts including Computer Cases, Accessories and Peripherals such as Case Fans, Power Supplies and Matching Color Keyboard/Mouse/Speaker Kits. In 2004, to ensure the products quality and provide better services to our customers, we have consolidated our cases, power supplies, in-put devices, accessories all under Aspire logo (now they are under our new name "Apevia" logo) From designing the prospective products to offering final products to our customers, each process is carefully and strictly evaluated to meet our highest standards and market demands. Apevia delivers reliable quality products, competitive prices, steady supply and excellent services, as well as its commitment to "total customer satisfaction".
