Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The power supply mounting is a little tricky, because the entire unit is fully enclosed inside the case.

System runs cool, quiet and smooth, no thermal throttling. Airflow with extra fans is superb. Noise is all about fans and airflow so weigh your options. Sound is average as i can still hear the fans when this is turned on, but it is quieter than my ot... Read More

In the back you have two plates that are directly behind the mobo. The main panel (top if horizontal) is a large window mounted with four thumbscrews. Also the drive mount is on a plate that goes behind the motherboard plate. This allows you to mount ... Read More

Cons

As a gaming rig, the case fails because the design renders efficient cooling nearly impossible. It fits a full size motherboard, but requires every other component to be smaller in order to get reasonable temperatures. Properly cooling the case requir... Read More

All the holes are misaligned. It's far too cramped inside.

The top or the bottom of the case is the only option for mounting fans or a radiator. The fan mounting is the worst ever. It barely sits off the ground, which means floor mounted fans won't do much.

The screen on the bottom looks like a piece of scrap. The magnets bump and bend wherever there are screws, like for the front panel. The window is also a very flimsy plastic and not tempered glass.

The metal has no bracing and is super flimsy. It’s actually really good quality for the price, but this is overshadowed by the terrible quality of the other materials.

Quality

So, price to quality is a positive here despite my criticisms.

All said, i am well pleased with the end result.

Built quality is ok for the price but the fan is trash which is understandable given the price, also i had problems with my 2.

The instructions that come with the case are not clear.

Price

This little case is fantastic at this price.

Packaging/appearance

Other than that this case is fine in my experience, packaging was good but shipment was delayed which is understandable today.

Competitiveness

I went from a rosewell full tower (nearly 36" x 36"x 10"), the biggest case i could find at the time, for a threadripper build ... Read More

A decent case with obscenely terrible cable management, as to say "none", the psu mounting is also confusing and necessary if y... Read More

It’s not the end of the world.

Upgraded it with 4 rgb fans: one front, one back, two on top, put gigabyte x570 aorus ultra with msi nvidia rtx 3080 ti, amd ryzen 7 5800x.
