The SDP650 has plenty of cables, and SLI-ready future-proofed 8-pin PCI-e connectors, and 8-pin CPU power available. It also comes with what I've seen as one of the best sleeving jobs on a stock power supply. The flat black finish really looks great inside an all-black chassis. The large 140mm intake fan purs along very quietly, and isn't really even audible over the rest of the system fans. It delivers power reliably, and efficiently with its 80 Plus Sliver efficiency rating. The single, robust +12V rail delivers up to 54A of power, and does so reliably on this beefed up rail.
The internal componentry looks clean and well laid out, which often points to quality and long-term reliability, so Sentey hits another sweet spot there. Overall the SDP650 is very well-built, and carefully put together, and so far, has powered our test machine wonderfully, and it even looks great at the same time! Sentey also backs it all up with a wonderful 5 year warranty, icing on the cake.

The GS-6400R Arvina case is a good entrance for Sentey into the enthusiast market. It offers a lot of features both internal and external, with a nice paint job to top it off. The outside comes in a nice glossy finish, while the interior is fully painted solid black. They made sure to back the slick paint job with equally good looks. Its front may be simple in design but it flows very well, especially into the top of the case. A job well done on balancing just the right amount of mesh in the design, enough to stay functional for airflow, but not too much to be an eye sore.
Good looks are not all the Arvina has though. There are a number of features that are of real benefit to have, not just a novelty. For starters we have the front multimedia card reader, supporting quite likely all of the currently storage card formats. On the top with in easy reach are four fan power buttons to give you control over the right amount of noise and cooling ability. Then there are a whole load of I/O options under a tinted sliding cover, offering connections for USB, eSATA, standard drive SATA, and audio. Moving inside there are twin 80mm fans to cool the expansion cards and four 120mm fans scattered throughout the case, bringing the total to a whopping six fans the Arvina comes with.

Aesthetically I love the clean glossy look with subtle blue LED lighting. The inclusion of the SD card reader is a hit with me, though it might just be another unused port for others. The all-black finished interior rounds this out giving it a high end feel without the high end price. I have used the phrase "gives it a finished feel" a few times in this review. The small bits of extra polish speak of attention to detail. This is a solid case that looks nice and doesn't flex while working with it. The mid-tower sizing will be a hit with folks who don’t have the need for a full-tower case. Fan noise was acceptable - they weren't silent but they weren't overly loud either.
The end result being that this is a reasonably priced and well put together case from Sentey. We are happy to award the Sentey GS-6000 Optimus the OCIA.net Gold Seal of Approval.

The Sentey Burton chassis is pure class. The first thing that stands out when you get the Burton is the high gloss paint job on the case, which really looks great. The built-in LED fan control on the top is a good idea for people who enjoy the dark when they sleep at night and still want their computers running. With the removable HDD cage, it helps make installing HDD/SSD’s easier and more convenient for installation. Having the tool-free installation is becoming a must-have in cases these days. It is always a pleasure to work with cases that are tool-free, because it makes our jobs easier, and we like that! The wire management on the Burton was very well done and helped hide all of the excess wires behind the the motherboard tray, which had plenty of room to route them all. The airflow inside the Burton is also done very well with the 120mm blowing over the hard drives and then the two 80mm fans blowing over the GPU area of the motherboard to help keep fresh air going to the important places. The card reader was a first for us with the cases we have reviewed. This seems like a good idea to have it built in at the top of the case for easy access.
Sentey has a great mainstream power supply on their hands with the SDP650-SS. For around $80USD, the SDP650-SS has strong performance that's backed with super quiet operation. Although I was disappointed to see it lacked it the more common 80PLUS Bronze efficiency rating commonly found in this price bracket, it did make up for it with a very competitive 5 year warranty. Although I was slightly hesitant to recommend the SDP650-SS based on how many 80PLUS Bronze power supplies can be found in this price range, the 5 year warranty really does make it jump out ahead of all the rest - I'd have no problem sacrificing a few percent of efficiency for a much stronger warranty on such a crucial computer component.
This power supply easily gets a "jonnyGURU Recommended". We are so close to perfection on this unit. If the +3.3V and +5V regulation was a little better (say 2% instead of 3%), build quality was just a little better and the price.... we'd have 10's across the board. And although I can understand how and why they couldn't go fully modular, if they could try and make the cables that are fixed the cables that we all know 99.9% of us are going to use, that would be a HUGE step in the right direction.

Para finalizar debo decir que el Sentey Arvina presenta una de las mejores configuraciones calidad/precio del mercado y refresca un poco el panorama latinoamericano en el surtido de gabinetes. La calidad de construcción es genial, el diseño es precioso y tiene todo lo que un entusiasta puede llegar a necesitar. Notable es la inclusión del estuche con los tornillos y si bien el gabinete no es perfecto podemos ver que su diseño y características son más que suficiente para el grueso de nuestro público lector.
The Sentey GSP1000-SM 1000W Power Supply is 80 Plus Gold Certified, has a quiet 140mm fan, modular leads, single +12V rail and comes with a 7 year warranty. Also, this Power Supply is available in wattages ranging from 650-1000, so you can get the one that best suits you needs.
The Sentey Arvina is a top notch case truly, there’s plenty of room for the largest video cards and everything else that you might need to put in there.
The addition of the card reader is a useful thing for sure, it makes life much easier.
I really like the SATA ports on the top of the case, the cables are long enough to reach to the bottom of the case so your hard drive can just sit flat on your desk.
The case is well made, it’s big and bold, if you want to make a statement then this is the case for you.
DragonSteelMods gives the Sentey GS-6400R Arvina PC Case a 4.5 out of 5 score.
