Compared to the Define series of the same manufacturer, this is just some kind of shame. If everything is well thought out and organized there, then everything here is rather sad. It is worth taking solely because of the appearance and only for those who are not going to change the insides often. Got pros: 1. Relatively compact. 2. Up to 6 hard drives can be installed. 3. Fans and reobas included. 4. Good appearance. Has cons: 1. Not suitable for those who are going to periodically change components - in order to replace something, you will have to suffer for a long time. 2. Without reobas, the fans are quite loud. And with a reobas at a minimum, a large fan does not always start. 3. You can’t use a long video card and a long power supply at the same time - although there was plenty of space for the block, the mounting frame was placed unsuccessfully, and if you have a long power supply with detachable wires, then the wires will not allow you to install video cards longer than 18 cm. 4. Cable management, or rather the absence of it as a class: if you installed several drives and installed a wide tower cooler with a fan like Zalman Performa, then I have bad news for you: it will not work to prevent the wires from going into the fan on the tower - you will either have to remove it altogether, or hang it on the other side, which will reduce its effectiveness. 5. Given the huge problems with ergonomics and wiring, it is very strange that there is no mount for sfx power supplies - this would solve some of the existing problems.
