Review on 🖥️ Fractal Design Core 500 Mini Tower Computer Case - Mini ITX - Enhanced High Airflow and Cooling - Includes 1x 140mm Silent Fan - Brushed Aluminium - Water-Cooling Compatible - Black by David Weis

I have dreamed of this case for a long time. Call me old school but I wanted a small ITX box with an optical drive bay so I could just copy all my old drives to make a small HTPC/Cloud server and drop my Bluray player. There are just a few things I was really disappointed in that didn't make building this thing fun at all. Advantages: 1. Can support 3 SSD and 3 HDD.2. There is also an optical drive bay which was necessary for my purposes.3. Aesthetically pretty on the outside. Cons: 1. The optical drive box, which was supposed to be removable, had a double whammy of cheap screws tightened by the machine. When I tried to remove it early in the build process, the head of the first screw fell off completely when I tried to loosen it. It went nowhere. I had to build around it and that was fine, but people who want to remove it for radical support will be very upset. 2. The SSD/HDD bracket is riveted to the case. This makes installing drives very difficult, especially when you can't remove the stupid optical drive bracket. When installed, the optical drive is not flush with the front panel. Looks good, but I expect more from the FD4. There may not be a dust filter for the power supply. He falls when someone farts too loud. Terrible implementation.5. The exhaust fan is not silent. Not the loudest thing in my case, but not big.
