Introduction
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

A+ Curbic is a very simple steel mid-tower case that Tagan will be launching very soon, featuring four external 5 ¼” bays and seven internal 3 ½” bays. This case, however, has some features that make it better than other inexpensive mid-tower cases, like two big 180 mm fans with on/off switch and speed control (one on the front panel and other on the left panel) and screwless mechanisms for daughter boards and disk drives. Let’s take an in-depth look on this forthcoming product from Tagan.

Curbic external appearance is better than other inexpensive mid-tower cases, as you can see on Figures 1 and 2.

You can clearly see on the above pictures the two 180-mm fans. Both of them have an on/off switch and a speed control knob. The on/off switch is very small and located on the lower right corner of the mesh present in front of the fans, as you can see on Figures 3 and 4.
