Overall, the BX1-4234 is a very solid case. The front LCD panel is attractive, and its basic fan controller capabilities work well, and even has more advanced features such as temperature-sensitive fan speeds. The all-black interior is attractive and well-done, and cable management is a breeze; it feels like building in a roomy mid-tower case. An abundance of tool-less features and the filtered bottom vent options are an additional plus. The inclusion of four fans is an added value bonus, and there is plenty of room for airflow expansion to fit your needs. Tall rubber feet give plenty of clearance to allow the bottom fans to work more efficiently.
REVIEWS
The Sentey Burton has a beautiful glossy black exterior. When looking at the case in a darkened room it looks amazing. These lights are very pleasing and gentle on the eyes, and do not glare or blink. The front Bezel is eye catching. Some people may prefer more or less flash to their case, and of course that is up to individual opinion.
Performance, Quality, Innovation, and Sustainability are the words of Sentey. The Sentey Optimus GS-6000 mid-tower does exactly what its supposed to do at its given price point. For performance and quality I have to say that the Optimus gets the job done as you have to remember this is a mid-tower that is shipped to your door for $49.99. Not a bad price considering that it includes four case fans, a fan controller for one fan and shipping to your door. The appearance of the Sentey Optimus is also rather bold and way better than some of the other bland looking cases at this price point. Sentey wanted a case for under $50 that would appeal to gamers and this case has the looks and the airflow that gamers demand.
Sentey is a name you may not heard of before, but the company has been around for quite a while. It's recently been focusing on its chassis line-up, and with its full-tower Arvina, it hopes to deliver gamers and enthusiasts a feature-packed offering for around $150. Let's take a look and see if it can compete with other well-established models.
Que puedo decir sobre el gabinete en cuestión que no salte ya a la vista… pues nada. Es un gabinete chiquito, no pensado para overclock (aunque se pueda hacer). Tiene una correcta ventilación, la fuente es suficiente para motherboards del tipo itx. El espacio no sobra, pero tampoco nos falta dentro del gabinete. En resumen, creo que se trata de un buen gabinete para mothers itx.

The Sentey SS2-2807 is a great little case with a decent amount of features packed into a slim design. You will have some expandability, with the three 3.5″ bays, and in today’s market, with hard drives getting bigger and bigger, three bays should meet most people’s media storage needs. The dust filter on the intake fan was another good feature, and shows Sentey takes pride in the quality of their products where most companies would have skimped a little to cut costs. The included 450W PSU is a nice touch, as finding a power supply small enough to fit in slim cases can sometimes be a real challenge.
However, there are some shortcomings to temper the accolades. The SS2-2807 is simply not built to hold big graphics cards, which is why you saw our GeForce 6200 hanging out in there. We tried to shoehorn in a 550, but it was too long and would simply not fit. With today’s advances in on-board graphics processing, you can probably get away with this, as there are on-board GPUs that will handle the job just fine for video playback and some very light gaming. This is obviously not the case to turn into your main gaming rig… unless that game is Peggle or Angry Birds.
The SS2-2807 is a great slim design case and would fit very well in anyone’s HTPC setup, or even most normal office PC environments. The high gloss black paint job oozes class and will look nice wherever you decide to put it. If you are in the market for a slim case, this is one you should at least take a look at before you make a final decision, especially if its pricing falls around Sentey’s similar offerings, in the vicinity of $50.

If you’re looking for an affordable case for a new-PC build project or an upgrade, with loads of builder-friendly features and a fair amount of design flair, the Arvina is a strong choice, whether you opt for this red model or its blue or black variant. Those who frequently swap out components may wish to spend more for a case with less plastic and more durable parts (such as the highly rugged Corsair Graphite Series 600T). But so long as you’re careful with the graphics-card cooling arm and don’t swap out drives every few weeks, the plastic components here should hold up well enough. In the past, we’ve certainly seen lesser build quality (and fewer features) in cases that cost more.
The build quality is very good and it comes at an attractive price point fit, coming with a rich feature set here. That combination is hard to beat, so if you're in the market for an affordable tower that's packed in a sharp package then take a good look at the Sentey Optimus GS-6000.
Overall, the Arvina GS-6400 case is strong and looks great especially when the lights shine through the case and at a price of around $100 it a great case for building a budget friendly gaming system. As for Sentey as a company with the power supplies and cooling options they offer this new kid on the U.S. block may turn out to be a great destination for the gaming PC system builder.
How did the quality of Sentey's power supply compare to what I have seen with their cases? Quite well, I would say. An 850w PSU has a lot of juice standing behind it and during our admittedly limited testing, the flow of power stayed rock solid. I would be confident in loading it up with dual GPUs and other power hungry devices, within reason of course.
The SuperFlower base must be popular as there seems to be one or two other manufacturers using it for their 850w power supplies. This isn't uncommon and most companies don't manufacture their own power supplies, but rather rebrand existing OEM units as their own.
Aside from power, this unit looks really nice and the modular power system works well. There are plenty of connections for all but the most demanding users / builds.
The Sentey GSP850-SM looks to be going for around $160 US right now, which puts it around similar products that have the same Gold certification. That combined with the attention to quality means I am happy to award the OCIA.net Gold Seal of Approval to the GSP850-SM power supply from Sentey.
