Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Tagan A+ El Diablo Advance is a full-tower case targeted to users that want a huge airflow, a digital thermometer and are looking for a case that provides a good cost/benefit ratio. Here is a summary of what we found about this case.

Strong Points

  • Good number of fans.
  • Excellent screwless mechanism for holding disk drives.
  • Good number of hard disk drive bays (six) and should please even the most demanding user.
  • The two USB ports are distant from each other, allowing you to install two “fat” USB devices at the same time.
  • Speed control for all fans.
  • On/off switch for the side and front fans.
  • Digital thermometer is a must for the exigent user.

Weak Points

  • Could have four USB ports.
  • Could have one FireWire port.
  • No anti-vibration mechanism for the hard disk drives.

This case provides a very good cost/benefit ratio for users looking for a fully loaded steel full-tower case. The speed control for all fans and the digital thermometer makes the whole difference when comparing this case with products on the same price range, making El Diablo Advance a better pick. Of course if you want even more features then you will have to look for a more expensive product.

The only problem you will have is finding this product at Newegg.com, because it is listed as “ABS Diablo Adv,” not “Diablo Advanced” – this string will produce no results.
