The Tecware Omega. But before we take a look on the case, I believe you guys know about Corsair, Bitfenix, Cougar, NZXT, and more but how about Tecware? Ever heard of it? If not, here’s a few info to know more about them.

Tecware is a local company here in the Philippines which started 2008 as a seller and distributor of PC Cases like this one. When it comes a time that the market of generic cases came down because of high end and extreme gaming cases, Tecware also made its way up and in lined with their competitors.

Okay, now let’s proceed to the case we’re going to talk about: Tecware Omega. Actually, the original case I requested was the Tecware Infinity but at the time it was out of stock so we ended up with Tecware Omega.

Now, packaging. The packaging of the case is quite good. They used hardware foam which is expected given that this is a local company but if they want to upgrade the quality of their packaging, they can use cell foam, just like what Linus usually say, or any thicker hardware foam so that when their shipments arrive in any province here in the Philippines or Internationally, damages will be prevented.

So, Tecware Omega has a Super USB 3.0, HD Audio plus USB 2.0. Bottom-mount PSU with washable anti-dust filter, 3x Tool Free 5.25 inch base and 2x SSD Support.

When you purchase this case, there will be a 120mm red LED fan for the front and another 120mm fan for the rear and side panel included.

This chassis has a black interior so it will definitely look good with its side panel tinted window.

It can support long graphics card, tower heatsinks up to 6.3 inches and it also has an easy access CPU Cutout.

The first thing to tell you about this case is that it is very affordable, very appropriate for budget builders out there who wants standard ATX case that has decent cable management, has dust filters, and can support long graphics card like GTX 750, GTX 960, Toxic, typically among those. This case can also support coolers up to 6.3 inches so it absolutely has a perfect fit for the famous Hyper 212x by CoolerMaster. It already has a windowed side panel which added up more to its cool look.

Looking at its cons, I figured that it's actually connected to the case’s pros. I had a hard time removing the dust filter located at the front, maybe it was actually meant not to be taken off so I suggest that whenever you perform a maintenance for this case, remove the whole front panel then be careful not to damage the wires then wash it with water or use a vacuum to clean it because I don’t think you can put it back on again once you removed it. But the dust filter located at the bottom caused no trouble at all.

SSD mount at back. SSD mount at the back slightly bends so when I first took off the case from the packaging, when I checked the SSD mount at the back, it actually bended so it’s not straight anymore. I strongly recommend Tecware that make it straight just like the one you did for the HDD Bay located inside the case because if you use single holes, the SSD mount might really end up being bended easily.

Cable Management. Tecware Omega’s cable management portion is actually narrow unless you use a modular PSU, where you may not have a hard time doing cable management with. I suggest Tecware that you extend the case’s cable management space for about an inch or even a size of a finger so it can help doing cable management alongside with the case’s slightly-convexed or humped side panel at the back.

Front IO wires. When it comes to the front IO wires of the case, what I don’t like is the colors. It has white, blue, yellow which I prefer black except for the USB 3.0 of course. By doing so the insides of the case would look more stylistic. Having assorted colors for IO wires will definitely catch attention even if your cables are well-managed. But if you sleeved all your cables, that will probably solve the problem.

Additional problem for the cable management is the rubber grommets. Yes, it has holes, slots for cable routes but it doesn’t have any rubber grommet. Having such can provide a good look at the insides of your rig when looking at it from the window panels.

 

So there you go! Our conclusion for this case is that again I recommend this one for first-time builders of their pc because of its affordability, its available features and its standard and micro ATX form compatibility.

Because of the available features of this case, it would be great if you buy Tecware Omega or its older brother: Tecware Infinity which is actually better than this one because it has a top panel and top mounted fans. Rather than buying generic cases, I highly recommend buying Tecware cases because of their build quality that is quite good, nothing special but that’s expected from a company that’s hardly known by most but other than that their Omega case is actually fine.

 

 

I hope that you guys liked my review for Tecware Omega.
