Conclusion:


Tagan has always proven their superiority to us and our users with their amazing power supply lineup. The quality and numbers pushed through them explain every dollar that they are worth! With the introduction of third party products for their chassis and enclosure lines, you would expect Tagan to except nothing but the best from these manufacturers. The Diablo case does just that. This style of case definitely gets top honors in an industry that has a habit of dropping the ball behind a pretty disguise. These Tagan cases live up to their assumptions.

Some things I would have liked to have seen changed or changed in future renditions of this case, would be a door that opens the natural way (away from the open side panel) an exhaust fan at the top and the front I/O ports more towards the front of the case rather than center. A removable motherboard tray would really put this case over the top but at least a tray with openings would be nice.

These ideas are mostly personal though and most will not have any problems with this case. The immense amount of air flow into this case guarantees you fresh air to cool that new dual or quad core processor. The ES-EL Diablo case is also a great solution for those using a water cooling setup; as with the removal of the processor fan, many of the motherboard components do not get sufficient airflow. The enormous front and side intake fans ensure that your case is full of fresh air in all areas of the case. The sharp looks of this case also make it stand out without too many crazy additions to the front bezel. Over all the Tagan CS-EL Diablo case is a Kickass product! Our thanks go out to Tagan for their supply of this review sample and their continued support of 3dGameMan.com!
