Review on 🏒 Ceptagon CP-M1 Lightweight Mid Tower With Handles - E-ATX Vertical Design by Jose Smith

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unique function over form

I bought this case for $100 which is a great price for what it offers. The aesthetics of this case aren't impressive, but I like the easy access to the ports and internal components. A lot of thought went into the design of this case, and an added bonus for me is that it's made in the USA. In this case, putting my build together wasn't very difficult, but I did have to tilt my head and think several times about how to orient my fans so the wires would go easily to my motherboard. I occasionally take my PC to LAN events and it's perfect for that. It's surprisingly light, but doesn't feel fragile. I used to have an Antec Lanboy Air with two large handles on top but it was too heavy/uncomfortable to carry around. I'm currently experimenting with airflow up or down through the case, but either seems workable. The manufacturer recommends that the fans blow through the case to keep dust out of the case and I agree. I would love it if there was a way to fully attach the two side panels, maybe with a different set of screws. I read that another person used the straps to ensure complete safety. I'll also consider maybe some rubber spacers between the "sides" and the "front panel". All in all, this is an impressive turnkey solution for today's computers and I'm looking forward to playing around and finding out how to make the most of it. outside of it.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
