2003 Winter Case Review Part 2: The ATX Avalanche
Jeantech Butterfly Series JN424SB
The Jeantech JN424SB is a more upscale and robust version of the previously reviewed Jeantech 2011. With the JN424SB, Jeantech has pulled out more stops to deliver a full featured case, but along with these extra features has also increased the price. Many of the improvements in the JN424SB center around both the design and the quality of the construction found within the case. While we are certain that many buyers will be attracted to the low price of the 2011, the JN424SB, on the other hand, is probably closer to what most users have come to expect from most modern chassis.
