Packaging
The Apevia X-QPack
2 case arrives in a relatively small
carton that measures
14.7" x 11.2" x 9" it does have a
very nice carrying handle
making it easy to get home from the
store where you picked it up at. The
front of the carton displays the
same picture that is used on the
rear of the carton which is a double
shot of the X-QPACK 2 from two
different perspectives. In top
portion of the picture is a man
laughing while wearing a set of
headphones, this I assume is to
represent how much fun he is having
with this new computer system
thinking about how much money he
saved by building it himself.
The end panel of the
carton does a very nice job of
displaying the wide selection of colors
that this case can be purchased in.
The pictures shows a total of eight
colors but they are forgetting one and
that happens to be the one we are
reviewing, the Camouflage version.
The thing to realize is that the front
bezel is the only thing that these
different colors apply to, the remainder
of the case is jet black..
A Look at the Outside
"Head for cover men, we're
under attack! If you happen to be a gamer
or someone that loves to frag the pants off your
buddies and you need a small computer to take with you
to a LAN party that might just turn a head or
two, the camo version of the X-QPack 2 might be
perfect for you.
The black and camo art work
are tastefully done to give the case a very nice
yet unique appearance, but the thing that will
make this case so popular with LAN party crowd
is the fact that it is so light and easy to
carry from point A to Point B thanks to the
built-in spring-loaded carrying handle.
The spring-loading on the handle make the handle
retract when not needed thus taking up far less
room.
You can see by looking at the front of the
X-QPack that it has room for a total of two optical drives and a
single 3.5" device whether it be a floppy dive or a card reader.
Also gracing the front of the case is dual display LED
thermometer that will read the temperature in either F or C
using the two probes that you must mount to your liking.
There is a swoops cut out on
each side of the front bezell of the case, these
areas are covered with a grill to keep things
from crawling into the warm environment of the
case, this area is used to draw air into the
front of the case.
The 80mm fan that is mounted in the front of the
case should help pull cool fresh air into the
enclosure.
Looking at the side you can see one of the three
windows on the X-QPack's removable cover.
