Absolutely awful

Seriously the worst case I've ever used. I wasn't expecting much in this price range. However, for a multimedia PC that had to be hidden in the back of the TV cabinet. It shouldn't look pretty. It shouldn't be permanent. Its only job was to keep some of the main components in place and off the court. It failed so badly that I (literally) threw it in the garden in despair. First, you would expect cases to be flimsy at this price point. This one is beyond thin. Imagine wet toilet paper dyed black. At first I thought they sent me an empty box because it weighed next to nothing. Second, it doesn't actually have drive bays. It has a few random places to attach hard drives, including a weird thing with an opening door. I only had two hard drives and it was impossible to install and connect both. Sure, you don't expect a lot of space in a micro-ATX minitower, but that was ridiculous. I don't even have a graphics card as I use the onboard AMD Radeon and couldn't fit in my base system even without it. I've used many cheap Micro-ATX cases in the past, but this one turned out to be the worst of them all. I didn't even bother to send it back - it cost $30 just for the pleasure of throwing it as far into my yard as possible. And for the record, it didn't get very far, it just floated around like a leaf in the wind. DO NOT buy this case!

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Unreliable
