Introduction

Smaller form factors like micro ATX are really looked over when people are building systems. Many micro ATX motherboards offer you the same features as full ATX motherboards and usually cost much less. Maybe the reason is there are not many stylish micro ATX cases? Well Apevia is changing that with their X-Qboii case. This micro ATX case features a tool-free design, side panel window, 120mm LED fan, and is power packed with an included 500W power supply!

Opening up the package we can see that the case is well protected with plastic and Styrofoam. Also once I took the case out of the box the entire front and side window were covered in plastic to make sure nothing was scratched during the shipping process.
