AZZA Hurrican 2000 Case Review
The Top, Bottom and Rear Panels
Contents
The top panel of the AZZA Hurrican 2000 can be seen in Figure 7. It has a very cool-looking design, with several openings to allow the air pushed by the top fans to exit the case. The top fans are 230 mm models (Globe Fan RL4ZS2003012L), and each one of them come with a two-speed controller located at the rear panel of the case (a third position of these controllers allow you to turn off the fans). No technical information about these fans was provided, and they aren’t listed at Globe Fan’s website.

The Hurrican 2000 comes with two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.0 port, and one eSATA port. The USB 3.0 port is installed to a standard USB A connector at the other end of its cable, so you need to route this cable to outside the case and connect it to a USB 3.0 port available at the motherboard rear panel.

The bottom panel has two air filters accessible from outside the case, one for the power supply fan and another the optional bottom fan. One thing we didn’t like about this case was that its feet are screwed from outside the case, and they have rubber pads to protect the screws, and these rubber pads kept coming off.

The rear panel and the interior of the AZZA Hurrican 2000 are painted black. The power supply is installed on the bottom part of the Hurrican 2000. The case comes with seven expansion slots with meshed covers, and a small ventilation mesh above the area where expansion cards are installed. A small ventilation mesh is also available at the top part of the rear panel. Two holes protected by rubber covers are available for hoses of liquid cooling solutions, and another hole is available at the top part of the rear panel for you to route the USB 3.0 cable. One 120 mm fan (AZZA S12023L) is available at the rear panel (no technical information about this fan is provided, and it uses a standard peripheral power connector).
