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.

Puntos Fuertes:
Buen diseño
Incluye adaptador Sata normal a Sata Slim

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.
