Satisfying and refined design

* If you need a simple, fast and require simple assembly; this doesn't apply to you *But if you enjoy the challenge and pleasure of creating something that others struggle with, then this is for you. I like the case even though the materials are cheaper. The acrylic/plexiglass side is fogged up and opaque so you can't see the inside clearly. Produces a cool effect with RGB lighting, but you can't see your components clearly. There is a video on YouTube with a link to a Chinese video showing someone completing the build in this case but no sound. I recommend fully planning your build before you begin. The small space makes it difficult to work inside. I made 2 small wiring mistakes that required 2 almost complete disassemblies to fix. The screw holes are made of thin aluminum with a fine thread. At the end of the reassembly several holes have been cleaned and the case will most likely not stand up to reassembly. Be careful not to bend the center mounting plate when mounting on it, the rivets and metal will bend slightly during mounting. I didn't use the vertical PCI cable that came with the case, it doesn't seem to be of poor quality, but instead I invested in a PCI 4.0 cable to avoid risking system throttling. I built it with a dual fan water cooler, which is great, but I can't fit other exhaust fans into the case. Airflow seems normal and the system doesn't get very hot under a decent load. Also, the cable mod cables I ordered were too long. There was too much extra that didn't fit in the case so I had to use standard power cords as they were shorter and didn't take up as much space. If Cable-Mod makes a set of short cables, it will work just fine. Overall, I like its build and its compactness with sturdy, durable handles. Only the materials there are not of the best quality.

Pros
  • volume 13.3L, extremely high space efficiency, size 333 x 145 x 275 mm (13.11 x 5.71 x 10.82 inch), easy to carry
Cons
  • old
