Back in March, we reviewed the Logisys Case-51, which received an 8/10, due to it’s great style and awesome air flow. This time around, we are taking a look at the Case-51W, which is essentially the same case, but with a window. Read the review to see if the various changes on this model made the case any better.

I reviewed the original Case-51 back in March, and it proved to be one of my favorite cases out there. The reason being was, that it had great style and design, and the cooling was much better than any case I used before it.
My primary complaint from the original review, was the lack of a window. Of course, it’s far from being a necessary feature, especially if you don’t want one. Since many people now a days love to load up their PC’s with lights, special coolers and other odds and ends, a window helps flaunt it all. Once I heard about the windowed C-51 being released, I was anxious to try one out. Does this case improve on the original?
