In order to test the durability and strength of cases that we review, we designed a rather basic method of testing their stability.

A strong case is key to anyone who uses it for LAN events, or just generally travels often with their case. A more durable case will last longer and will be a testament to its design.

The test involves SorX standing on the case, and seeing the effect that this has on the enclosure. The scoring is as follows:

0 out of 3
The case buckled, fell apart or bent in some way; good for the stationary computer but completely impractical if used at LAN events.

1 out of 3
The case withstood the punishment but was shaky and a little more weight would cause it to break. Not the best LAN PC.

2 out of 3
The case passed the test easily with no problems. Slight bending occurred. A good choice for a LAN case.

3 out of 3
The case barely moved when stood on. An excellent choice for any LANer.
