Comment:
Great seeking case that functions properly, with quite a few characteristics located in the new, far more high priced circumstances. This is quite a deep case so ther was a lot of area for cable management and complete sized components. Not enough to take off an egg, but there is hardly any clearance for the top fans. This case made for a super uncomplicated create, its lightweight but i would not call it low cost at all. Anything looked good and i would not hesitate to recomend or construct with this situation once more!

It's black! A lot of locations to put fans. Bottom mounted power provide. Minimalist appear. No cable management. Included fan isn't that wonderful. For the prime fans, you may well have to use some 12mm thin fans. With most motherboards (from reading other testimonials) it seems standard thickness fans will block a RAM slot. This is the fan I use: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185139 Also rather of mounting the H50 on the back fan slot, I mounted it on the bottom fan mount, this way I could still preserve that as an outtake instead of intake. The H50 grill hits the power provide cords a tiny but no biggy.

Got this for a develop for my daughter, nothing at all fancy. I don't fully grasp all the quibbling about this situation. For a simple create, it serves its purpose properly. I have numerous builds, which includes a Lian Li case that I use at house. This one particular is really airy, with lots of vents all around. The bottom mounted PSU presented no challenge at all. It's up on four legs with a vent on the bottom as properly to pull air into the PSU. I don't know if I would maintain it straight on carpet, although. This will be on a wood floor, so no challenge. The front connectors had been plenty extended adequate. Just the usual PIA to match up the power switch, and so on. Not significantly. Only point that kept it from 5 stars is only 1 (rear) 120mm fan. I just went ahead and got a blue LED Yate Loon for the front. It is quieter that the stock rear. For ฮ shipped (after rebate), it's a great value.

A good searching case with a lot of room inside and good ventilation all about. The best fans do not fit if you have a bigger gaming motherboard, you will have to find a thin fan for best. don't seriously care for the mesh exactly where the cd-rom drives go.

I got this case at a rock bottom bargain price, with a 430 watt power supply included. Cheapness is its single largest advantage. It's excellent to use for a cheap CPU and low-cost motherboard when you have lots of time to work about the quirks and don't have a lot of funds to get nicer stuff.How thin the metal is doesn't bother me. I like how light it is. I'm lucky that mine has no harm at all.The finish is nice, making it look like a a lot more costly case.It will hold a complete ATX motherboard just as very easily as a microATX. Even even though neither of them will actually fit extremely well. I get the impression there ought to be diverse versions of this case, due to the fact as well quite a few of the critiques contradict every other.It was really tough to make any motherboard fit. I tried both microATX and full ATX. They're both equally challenging. It will make you be concerned that you may break the motherboard attempting to make it fit. It assists a tiny to loosen one or more screws on the outside of the situation, to let the case warp a tiny fraction of an inch when you force the motherboard into location.I don't like the whole concept of fans on the best and bottom. The leading holes invite spilled drinks and the bottom holes vacuum dust from whatever the situation sits on.The case being a tiny also brief is annoying and it wastes your time locating workarounds.The rebate requires a extended time. I'm still waiting. Overall it feels like a bargain, but only because of how low-cost it is. And it's only that inexpensive when it's a shell shocker. What sold me was that the power supply was included. A lot of folks spend much more for an equivalent power supply than I paid for the mixture with no cost shipping.

-good looking case.-lightweight compared to my old a single.-cutout on MOBO solder side (non-cpu) incase you will need to get at it. Just eliminate the panel on the other side. Only 1 optical and 1 HDD plastic fast lock fasteners. (For lack of a better term I don't know what they're known as) and only a single PCI cover. General wonderful except not obtaining more PCI cover and lock fasteners. So if you have a lot more than 1 HDD or 1 optical you will have to use actual screws to mount it.

This case has possible for amazing airflow. I purchased this situation to swap out my old raidmax scorpio case and I'm content with it now that it's built. The black finish tends to make the tower appear actually presentable... The mesh I consider tends to make cases appear like there's something hefty in it. haha. That's cool. The HDD locks or I need to say lock is cool. all black inside finish looks remarkable. For the price tag... Its not to poor!Although my old situation had 4 fans in it... this one has 1 and my MB ran at 50-60c and cpu 60c but now its mb = 30c cpu = 40c. All the mesh makes pretty fantastic airflow. I also added three fans from my other case just to give it a small additional increase due to the fact of the optional fan space that are made to fit 120mm.. five slots to fit 120mm.. I put 3 80mm in the mesh with the 1 120mm. It runs nice. This computer is now the girlfriends pc. ---Thermaltake V3Radeon 5770 HD 1gb8gb DDR twothree.2ghz AMD quadm3a78-em mobo680w psu1 1tb hd 1 250gb hddvd drive I really should take off an egg but I'm not going to make to much a fuss for the price. Something they could skimp out on they did. It took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to get rid of the drive bay covers. You have to literally take away the whole front of the case then you have to pop out the mesh covers from inside the front panel.. Reallllll stupid if I wanted to add an additional down the road I'll have to remove it once again.. Why take away a entire front panel just to take off a cover of the bay. The pci slot location is reallly stupid. why would you put a metal lock more than the whole pci slot then you have to unscrew that and then you can take away the metal then install the card?! tends to make far more sense to have click locks or screws the the old way... waste of steel. The locks for the HDD FD and DVD drives... there's only 1 for each and every? Why would you provide 1 hdd lock and have 4 bays? why 1 dvd drive lock and four bays? You have to screw the rest in if you have much more then 1 hd fc or dvd... straightforward tooless style.. haha Continued- The back don't have thumb screws just plain screws borrowed my old tower's thumbs. The power supply area has a filter on the bottom.. But I've but to be in a position to eliminate it.. That will be dirty quickly and not to cleanable. When I began to set up the psu I believed just stick it in it should fit... I didn't recognize there was a little piece you will need to unscrew from the bottom with 2 screws and then the psu will slide into place.. I guess it type of holds it far better.. but I don't see a point when the screws in back are holding it in place... Particularly when the piece just keeps it from moving back out of placeas if i was sliding it out... When I stand it up straight that piece becomes useless. Not holding something. Motherboard popped in nicely. It is a good searching case.. Just has some really pointless items in it. And the cable management is hard luckily it don't have a side panel. Make certain your psu cables fit everywhere... But for ื its a decent case for entry-mid level.

inexpensive airflowbottom mounted energy supplySix stock width fans will fit IF you use your head...1 in the door. Persons who obtain a low-cost case and turn off their brains when it comes to assembly...folks who don't read the reviews that tell you how to make it work...with a little believed, you too can save funds on the case and maybe invest it on the energy supply...I bought a 750W corsair power provide with that income... I'm going to clarify how to get the h50 and the top rated fans in the situation 1 far more time...do this Right after the mobo is in the situation.Mount the H50 in the prime forward fan hole...use the holes closest to the door, NOT the stock screw mounting holes...attach the radiator with old difficult drive screws...mount the fan to the rad INSIDE using the supplied screws. tada, it's in.Mount the rearward fan in the holes closest to the door...tada, a stock width fan fits and doesn't interfere with the mobo...also poor I can't upload a picture for the logically challenged.You May possibly shed the use of two memory slots with the corsair mounted like this...but a thing tells me you don't have the cash to acquire all that ram if you didn't buy at least a hundred dollar case...I've got 8G in two slots on mine, and I'll be upgrading everything including the situation by the time I want much more RAM...

This case looks really good over all. It has plenty of space for all my stuff inside. Due to the fact this is not in my space so the blue light adds a good touch. I bought some additional 120mm fans and it just added to the ventulation that this case already gives. If you are searching for a simple gaming case this is a great purchase None

For this value point it is a very roomy case.Good setup Front IO panel limitedNo intake fan at the front lower component of the case. Front IO is a permanent mount - so i had to cut that out and place in a additional full IO panel (even has USB three. now); the Front IO ought to not be a permanent mount to allow for altering these out.I would acquire once again! (and modify out the front IO panel and mod a front fanꂠmm fan mount in the front lower portion of the case is not doable UNLESS you mod your fan - now I have a front fan (the overall space is there - the engineers must of allowed for this).I had some problems with the leading fans placement and my motherboard so I had to use rubber holders for the fans. To the "users" that complained about 25mm thick fans, you want to look at these rubber mounts - they do function.

- Stylish black finish.- Bottom PSU mount.- Inexpensive. - Normal 25mm fan will not fit best vents. Need to use 12mm.- Case material extremely thin, may introduce vibration noise.- No dust filter.- Came with just 1 set of clips for challenging drive. H50 will fit, wish I could attach a image to show it, just eliminate the rear exhaust fan and mount the H50 fan in its place. Re-mount that fan to the front to cool the difficult drives.

Extremely light, good structure. 1st time constructing so the gold screw currently implanted may well confuse you but thats for your mobo... perfectly fits the ATX. Cool spot for your PSU sweet Blue LED fan in the back and if you like blue lights. its rad cool. Components a bit flimsy, frustrating to put together at first. Cool easy clips for the 5.25"bays and the HDD bays for easy clamping.

Cons:Most annoying PSU install Im ever had, has a piece of plastic at the bottom of the case blocking you from installing the PSU, Had to Google it only to find out it was held in place by a 2 small screws...

Pros:Absolutely beautiful case. Screw-less drive bays. SSD support. Mid-Tower. Water cooling support.

very decent case for the money.I bought this for a build for my son and had no problems,tool less drive clips worked fine,you can mount an 2.5" SSD or HDD on the bottom of case so you don't have to buy a tray or mounting kit for one.I didn't find the case to be to flimsy or cheaply made.I didn't expect it to be made out of 12 gauge sheet metal.the gauge of metal they used is just fine for a computer case.It's a very good case, my son loves it and he saved some money by buying it.I would buy again if needed and recommend to others on a budget.I gave it 5 eggs because of the quality for the price

Bought two at the USA store when the manager wanted to get them off the floor...ำ every...Price tag, airflow, 5 low rpm 120mm fans will fit...SIX if you have an old zalman flower arm laying about...I wanted 1 blowing down on the board due to the corsair H50 which I place an old Silverstone 121B I had lying around on...case fans are silentx, the old h50 fan, old lian li case fan and the blue monster it came with...with the 121b turned down to silent, the fan the case came with is the loudest...Mobo temp goes up 1 degree with Everest. none...you get what you spend for here...want a stiff case, spend much more money...I don't strategy on working with this to block up my vehicle...besides, employing ALL the drive screws stiffens it up...toss the toolless plastic drive holders in the trash. Corsair h50 fit in top forward fan hole when I moved it to the nearest holes in the grill...utilized old HD screws to mount so the fan would blow OUT and UP...lost two memory slots on the MSI 870A due to this, but two 8g sticks will be enough...Case keeps a triple 74g raptor raid array cool...Budget Components FOR Spending budget BUILDS.

Affordable. Painted inside. Bottom mount Power Provide. Stamped steel with cutouts YOU have to remove by twisting the metal. Incredibly tight clearance on top rated of case with motherboard and spots for two 120mm fans. Also rear 120mm fan clearance is tight. Reason I say this is that I have a Corsair H50 Cooler and IT WILL NOT FIT w/o MODs. Nor will a H70, fogtaboutit, not happening with this case. My other beefs are there are only one particular quick mount for 5 1ǚ' one for Floppy (who the heck uses 1?) and one particular for three 1ǘ" tough drive. I don't know about you but I have never ever built ANY box with much less than two challenging drives. Window is quite significantly a joke.Cable management is non-existent but in a โ case I suppose thats what you get. Offered that I personal some high finish Thermaltake cases, Level 10GT, Tai-Chi, I have come to anticipate a excellent item from thermaltake. Heck I even own 4 thermaltake power supplies. Just not impressed with this case. It could have been far better engineered with just a 1ǘ" clearance about motherboard at the top of the case. If you are going t make and advertise a window, make it a window and not a peep hole.
