Review : GlobalWin YCC 8870 aluminium mid-tower

I discovered the 8870 while browsing around a local computer shop. I was looking for a new case for my Athlon rig to replace my aging full-tower; this case was open and the interior grabbed my attention - practically tool-less construction being one of the pluspoints. But we're getting ahead of ourselves here so I'll go back to the start!

The Global-win YCC-8870 is made by the same company that produces the excellent CPU heatsink/fan combinations, as part of a wide range of steel and aluminium server and workstation enclosures.

The 8870 is a standard ATX format midi-tower case...
