Sunbeam Transformer Case

Introduction

It is hard to imagine that once computer cases were all beige and dull. Today you actually have to look hard for a beige case, and most cases now have one or more cool feature that makes it stand out. The case I’m reviewing today makes you think of the old Transformer comic, and it is no surprise that the name reflects this – the SunBeam Transformer.

The Package

The case arrived in two separate packages. One had the front panel, very neatly wrapped in bubble plastic, and the rest of the case was shipped in the second package. I’m not sure why they do this since I don’t see how shipping a complete case would be riskier if it were as well packaged as this case was, but as long as everything arrives in one piece, who am I to complain?

The case was properly packed with polystyrene, helping to make sure the case does not get dented in shipping.
