On of the interesting attendants at the last year CeBit expo in Hanover was the Korean company GM Corporation (GMC). Even though most of their products were pretty standard a large section of their stand was devoted to one of their unique products – a computer case having the somewhat "construction" related name of "Bulldozer". Today we're going to find exactly what is so special about this case and whether its design is backed up by practicality and performance.
Our friends from GMC
generously provided us with a test sample of their interesting Bulldozer R4 case. Essentially this is a very compact case with rather interesting design. Despite its size it still fits perfectly a full ATX motherboard with enough spare place for accommodating even the most bulky modern graphic card. That compact shape is achieved mostly by moving the optical drive to dedicated, slightly tilted casing on the panel. And that's not all, the Bulldozer can also brag about its good cooling capabilities too. And to top it all at this time the case could be obtained for just 79.90 USD.
