Dropping a system into any case should be uneventful at best. That being said, things such as cuts and bruising, being forced to contortionism to work, and a string of cussing that would shame even the saltiest of curs shouldn’t come to play. Thankfully, our experience with the Bat Case left us largely unscarred, except for a nasty ding on a thumb, the result of the front bezel biting hard into an exposed finger. That being said, the rest of the installation into this case was largely uneventful, besides the discovery of some Easter eggs (so to speak) and a few structural let downs.

These Easter Eggs come from a quadrant of small, well rounded holes inside the chassis – two tucked in above the optical drives to allow the cabling mounted up there to pass into the system unseen, and one below each hard drive bay, which let us easily route a fan wire down and out of sight. The third and final egg is that with the proper bit (some form of Torx we suspect), the entirety of the forward drive cages can be removed from the chasis, giving the option to mount something a little bigger, such as a watercooling pump, up here.

Now, moving to the let downs, that would have to be this case’s monumental failure in the face of cooling. Included within the confines of this system is a single 80mm fan on the side panel. Considering that there are mounts for a rear 120MM fan and a forward 80mm fan, we can’t see why Sansun didn’t just spend the $5 in wholesale, and charge $10 more for the case afterward. Along with that, while the side panel fan is surprisingly quiet, any fans you decide to slap up front or in back will make their fair share of noise, as the cheese grater grilles take their toll on both airflow and sanity. On top of this, USB and audio plugs are supplied as individual connectors, meaning that you’ve got 16 individuals wires to plumb besides the usual ones if you want the top ports on your case to have full functionality.
