Specs

The Allinone's appearance is a dramatic contrast to that of Scythe's utilitarian Kama Panel.

A smooth, curved plastic door covers its mass of ports. It offers a similar selection to the Kama Panel, including three mini-jack audio ports, SATA, two USB ports, FireWire and a memory card reader that supports all the formats you'd expect. Where the Allinone is lacking compared with the Scythe is that it has only two three-pin fan connections - four fewer than its rival. The Allinone does have an LCD display, though, which shows fan speeds and temperatures from two included probes.

The Allinone comes with a clear manual and a large mass of cables. To make maximum use of the Allinone, your motherboard will need enough free headers or ports to support it, and keeping your PC neatly cabled will be extremely difficult. If you need a huge number of ports, though, the Allinone comes close to delivering what its name promises.
