What a excellent case. Straightforward to setup. No cuts (just be cautious persons these are computer system elements right after all). Nice colour and LED's. Front audio and USB ports are good. Power and rest buttons are excellent. Nothing. If the dvd plate doesn't operate fairly effectively for some of you, then just eliminate it, slide your drive forward, and screw it in. No require to dock an egg for anything so straightforward and what probably ought to be carried out anyway. I genuinely hope newegg doesn't decide to jack up the value of this like they do for everything else that gets wonderful evaluations... Newegg pricing has been quite sketchy lately, and its NOT the marketplace.

Low-cost and practically nothing else. Time and frustration. You will hate yourself.I have to take the back case fan off in order to put my 600W PSU. I have to unscrew the six screw in order to take the front cover off in order to put the DVD Rom. My PSU is fairly heavy and it bent the backing plate and hence the backing plate is no longer supporting the PSU weight. The little tab on the back of the case that suppose to aid support the PSU is no good either. Only the four screw is holding the PSU. The metal sheet is so thin, I can picture that my PSU will fall and destroy my motherboard and video card. My PSU is longer than most PSU. I attempt to put the regular DVD Rom size in and it was not feasible to fit it with the PSU subsequent to it. I attempted the compact size DVD Rom and the Sata and Energy cable was hitting the PSU cable and it was no good either. I paused and curse the case. I have to steal one more PSU from another laptop I own. This case will make you do illegal activity. This case is illegal by itself. Continue below... I brought a micro ATX board because everyone right here agreed that this is not a full size ATX case. The metal sheet is so thin that i stripped one of the supporting screw for the motherboard. I also stripped the hole for the side cover. I wanted to place a front case fan, but I have a normal case fan. I have to bent the metal in order to put it in. I only require 1ǚ" much more for the fan, but 1ǚ" additional is too difficult to ask for. I put the tough drives in. Once I have to place the video card in, the tough drive was in the way. I have to shuffle the really hard drives and could only use three mainly because the other two slot was taken by the video card. So, you drop two challenging drive space after if your video card is as well extended. I have 7900 GT. Because the material for the case is so thin, you can hear the fan even additional so than a typical case.I have this case extended adequate to create a full evaluation. This case will trouble you to the finish of time. It's goes beyond reality and give me nightmare, even although I must be resting.

This case appears fantastic! The black gloss on the front is eye-catching. I applied this case for a mATX board with onboard video, so I had a lot of area for my elements. It's built with very good excellent, the sides of the case are not flimsy like other low-cost cases that I have purchased in the previous. This case appears wonderful! The black gloss on the front is nice. My drive bay cover would get stuck on the dvd drive when its closing. The front plate is a fingerprint trap! I was looking at other budget circumstances at the time of my buy and they all looked really ugly. This is a actually excellent buy, and I will probably acquire a lot more Gigabyte circumstances in the future.If I ever need an additional case, I'll get this 1 once more.

If you stroll by way of your regional retail laptop division, this is the style case you will see on show. So, if your constructing a spending budget method for a pal or relative, how can you go wrong with this purchase? I have applied this case with high satisfaction feedback. None for the price I paid. I hope Newegg gets more of these in inventory. I missed this deal this time about. For Ū you can very easily modify the energy and difficult drive LEDs to blue, which will upgrade this case to 2010 standards.

Ive constructed 2 computer's with this case and both came out completely fine none Has a spot for a 120mm fan on front and an additional on side. Also can put a 80mm fan on the side. Fan that comes with the case is super useless you will will need to acquire a lot more fans.

Quite light! It felt like I was carrying a book when I lifted this point, even with all the components inside. Typical Mid-Tower ATX case with easy directions and a fantastic purchase for everyone that is going to develop their very first Computer or on a budget. Air flow is OK and comes with a vent for case fan. It was affordable so it had to have some sort of Con. The only con i located was restricted space. But that's to be anticipated if try to make a gaming Computer out of this case. If your installing your CD/DVD drive, make confident you install it just before you install your PSU, other smart you will have many cuts and a few dented pieces of metal.

Got it for 15.xx, and it was well worth the price for my spending budget gaming develop. Nice and roomy inside for my micro-ATX mobo, with plenty of area for a 9800GTX+ gfx card. Its a stable, light case that does all you'd want for its price tag. The back panels for PCI cards are punch-outs. Not seriously a con for me, but it could be for some folks. Also, the cover for the optical drive is very close to the optical drive, so when you put it in assure that the button on the front is not pressing on the button on the drive. Took me a tiny to figure this out and adjust it. If you dont make the adjustment or get rid of the cover then your drive will open and close at will. Comes with a decent 80mm fan, and has spots for an 80mm fan and a 120mm fan to be attached to the side panel.

Cheap No expansion, Light, Thin, Quite Little, Lack of Fan, Flawed design, Energy swith/button not steady, Sharp edges, Could be unsafe Gigabyte must be ashamed of themselves.Don't obtain this, unless it's beneath 10 dollars. The worst component is, this case is flawed. I know it's cheap and you would expect the top quality and material to be less than substandard, but you can not forgive the flaw with this case. There is a cause why it does not come with a front case fan because you can not put one in, unless you want to harm the chassis or the front cover. There is a place to put the fan for the front, but they don't give you the space to do so. Yes, I have damage the chassis, but manage to place the fan in. Please do be extremely cautious when assembling your computer mainly because of the sharp edges on this case. I got a single lengthy scratch on top rated of my hand. Give it 1 star for getting affordable.

Appears really nice, Great good quality for the Cost, nice built in dvd fold out panel, front USB/headphone jack, 80 and 120mm side fan slots if you required them Depending on the motherboard and video card you get, can be type of a tight fit With a tiny rearranging, every thing fit really nicely. The mobo power slot was proper exactly where I was initially going to place my hard drive. Had to pull the hddrive out, plug in the mobo, then replace it. Not as well huge of deal.

Low price, fair aesthetics. Plenty of space for drives. Front USB ports appear a little tight, it's been tough to get issues in and out of there. It appears like there are supposed to be two LEDs around the energy button but the prime one particular is burnt out, and the Substantial power button doesn't sit flush with the case about it. One of the bays had a useless hinged door you could use in front of your optical drive, but the factor kept the tray from coming in and out smoothly so I took it off. Discovered it a bit taxing to pop out the openings for PCI slots. And some thing that never occurred to me as something I would say, the screws that come with this case suck. I don't definitely want to complain a lot for the price, but this point was a pain and I've gotten equally mediocre instances for significantly less ahead of. It's not undesirable for the price tag but I wouldn't invest in this case once more.

Lots of spaceMeant for Micro ATXFront side USBFront side mic/earphone hookupNice front indicator lightsGood DVD drive coverCompactLightweightAppears greatLow price tag120mm fan slot80mm side fan hood, but honestly only for an ATX board80mm rear fan, includedNo silly old speaker Not honestly an ATX case, only comes with 6 standoffs and is really hard to screw in an ATX board (right side is obstructed by chassis) Why do I think this is the top case? Cuz you can slap a 120mm fan in it, only expenses ม.99, and will fit an ATX board with a tiny extra operate. Maintaining your cables tidy assists! For a basic gamer who desires a single vid card and a solid rig, this is the most desirable case. You don't require all those bells and whistles on the expensive situations. Invest in your hardware!I paired two of these circumstances with the GIGABYTE GA-G41M-ES2L LGA 775 Intel G41 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard. Built for a little office, fits effectively, looks perfect.I'll be obtaining this for my gaming rig now!

Satisfied with its looks and price tag... Very first time I bought gigabyte it was the small water cooling CPU package... Leaked and failed in about each direction. This is the second time I purchased gigabyte and second time let down. Intermittently any front panel connector is utilised shorts out the laptop or computer and shuts it down (usb or audio ports). From the testimonials there are a few others that had trouble with wiring/front panel. One particular mentioned soldering and one particular about the mis-wiring. Also the CDROM door required filing to maintain every little thing from jamming up when opened / closed.

About the only great issue I have to say is that it isn't going to break the bank and it is a personal computer case. This issue is pretty small. I wish that I would have invested a bit more in a larger/nicer case. Somehow it doesn't look ideal to have my i7-950 in this low-cost of a case. None

Looks good The case is super low-cost. The metal is real flimsy and it is particularly simple to strip out the holes for the MB stand offs. It is missing a cover plate for the spot where a PCI Express video card goes so if you have a MB with built in video you have an open hole in the back of the case. To take away the front of the case to install CD ROM drives you have to get rid of six screws. Also, you can not mount an 80mm case fan in the front of the case. Manufacturer Response:Manufacture response: Thank you for your organization with Gigabyte Technologies. We have a lot of choices on chassis which you can pick from, I am sure there will be more than 1 models that will fulfill your wants. You may well contemplate our GZ-X Serie, Setto Series, Luxo Series, or GZ-KX series. We’ll be extremely appreciated if you could let us know which ATX MB model you’ve used?

It was affordable when i bought it.ฟ from newegg.com This situation should be titled as a micro ATX Tower.It fits a total ATX, but thats about all the space you get.Its genuinely cheaply produced. I believe its worth significantly less that the 15 dollars i paid.I cut my hand and wrists a couple of instances constructing my computer. Make positive you put on gloves or prepare a tiny very first help kit next to your workstation.I got two of these, 1 of them came dented, even though the box was fine. Not encouraged if you want to use this as a Gaming Pc case. I doubt it would fit any GTX or 5000 series gpus.+ the existing price tag is 39.99...Gigabytes is fantastic with mobos, cards, and so forth., but I'd stay away from their situations.

This is a no frills case, however it has some good functions, like hiding the DVD drive behind a panel that automatically drops down. I wondered what the tiny dog residence on the back was as I was setting up the video card trying to angle the screwdriver in when I opened the doghouse and there they are, effortless and practical to get to! Great touch on the mixing of the blue energy and red HD LED's. I knocked off 1 star due to the fact its a real struggle to get a modular 600w power provide in the situation. I had to move the DVD player down on slot. This was a left-over components Pc and I discovered the side panel fans not possible to use and wonder why there are there anyway. This can't be beat for the expense and neat looks!

Cool colors. good blue and read led. uncomplicated header installs. Flimsy sockets where motherboard screws mount to. Easy to strip out the socket. Be quite careful. But at the exact same time, you don't want to tighten the sockets in there too loose, creating it far more tough to eliminate the motherboard if ever necessary. 2nd time working with this situation and each occasions had the very same concern. Silly me for obtaining it a 2nd time.

Low price, no cost shipping, no harm, each side panels come off easily, nicely labeled front panel wires. Flip down CD cover performs just fine. Comes with quiet 80mm fan mouned on rear. Quite challenging case to perform with, lots of odds and ends that will frustrate you. Be prepared to yank stuff back out from time to time for what you feel need to be a easy activity. Factors that irritated me the mostɅ. Has front mount for up to 120mm fan. Need to get rid of front cover Ɩ screws), difficult drives and floppy drive only to come across out that you need to have a truly skinny fan.2. Limited space among power supply and CD-DVD drive. Anticipate to use 2 hands and some body language to line up and attach cable and energy. Also, you need to take away front cover to install the drive.3. You can mount a 120mm fan on the side panel, but will have to unplug it every time you open the case or make sure you have a long power cord. The case looks truly nice once place with each other. A lot of room about the motherboard (microATX). Feels a tiny flimsy at 1st, but toughens up once parts are added.Not a terrible case, just needs a lot of patience and TLC. Eyeball it for about 30 mintes before working on it, might conserve you some frustration if you strategy ahead.I gave it 4 eggs mainly because I knew what I was getting into from other critiques, even though three.5 would be my ranking.
