Review on πŸ’» Fractal Design Core 1000 USB3 BL Computer Case by Derek Jha

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great on the budget - computer components

If you are looking for a lightweight case that is good value and isn't the size of a car, this is a good choice. I've used it on over a dozen custom PCs in my office and it gets the job done. However, this is a cheap case. In a few cases the tolerances were violated and I found it very difficult to remove the side panels. Removing the front drive bay cover is a pain (literally - I cut myself trying). And in one case, the wires from the power button were slightly loose, causing the PC not to boot. I replaced all the components in this PC before finally attempting to start the machine by shorting out the circuit with a screwdriver (don't try this at home) and finally found the switch to be the problem.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
