Acer Predator G Series Gaming Desktop vs Gateway GT 5464 case

[mvitkun]

I noticed that the case layout was nearly identical.

the OEM fan used is the exact same one,but not too surprising.

io

front

notice

-the mediacard reader

-the same number of drivebays

-similar removeable front bezel

side

-similar passive intake

inside

-same heatsink

-same HDD cage

-same DVD drive cage

- same cable management (I fucked it up a bit when I had to remove the HDD cage a while back)

-same pci bracket in the back

the hot-swappable drivebay is slightly different,instead the gateway has a front io (headphone,microphone jacks with a hot-swappable media bay.

I won't completely remove the front bezel (forgotten how,and don't want to waste time doing so)but the passive intake is the same as well.[nvm look at bottom to see bezel removed,it removes the same way as the acer predator,go figure ;)]

this is how it's displayed on gateways site

as you can see my model of it has a different heatsink,and no random card in it,but the case itself on the inside is 100% identical,down to the way that they managed the cables.

-same side panel latches

-same hdd cage

-same DVD cages

-same hotswappable media bay

-same cable management holes in the dvd cage

-same feet on the case

took off the bezel(go figure it came off the same way as the acer predator ;)]

go to 8:20 in the video if the embed time doesn't work.

overall just thought it was funny that they used the same case (basically) as an oem computer that cost $300 (at full price,right now it'd go for maybe $150).add a few plastic pieces and sell it for $1000.
