That fact that it comes with an instruction manual, rather than a piece of paper or even nothing at all, is a nice plus. Then again, it doesn't take a genius to figure out how to plug the power cable into the power supply. Like their other cases, you get plenty (extreme understatement) of screws, keys for your swing doors and a case badge.

For those of you who are wondering, the SX630 is the same model as the SX635, but with a 300W power supply, rather than a 350W. I know a lot of power users have fast CPUs and probably a ton of drives, so you may want to opt for a beefier power supply. The 300W was more than enough for me.

Two fans came standard for with my case, and the SX630 accomadates a third. The fans are of decent quality, and there will probably be no need to replace them. I do like the fact that all the fans can be attached with clippable fan holders.

The only problem with the fans, isn't really the fans themselves, but the metal grills on the back of the case, as well as the front. Depending on how fussy you are about airflow, the grill may obstruct it a little. Nothing you can't fix with a pair of metal cutters or dremel tool. Depending on how dusty your work area is, you may want to consider an air filter, since none is included.
