Review on πŸ–₯️ GAMDIAS GD-TALOS E1 Mini-ITX Tower (Black) – Compact and Power Supply-Free! by Kenny Sanchez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good case for the money

This is my first time building a Mini-ITX case, so I have no comparison with it. I installed the guts from an HP desktop I bought years ago. It has an AMD 10-6700 processor and an optical drive, so I upgraded the case, upgraded to an SSD, and replaced the stock CPU cooler with a Cooler Master liquid CPU cooler. It worked really well, although I added another fan to the top of the unit to improve airflow and keep the internal temperature down. It looks good after all, but keep in mind that this is a small case and the wiring side of the case doesn't have much depth. I had to plug the fan power distributor into the case because it was too thick to fit on the wiring side. I didn't like the bright yellow GAMDIAS magazine on the front of the case at first, but I liked it. You can turn off the power to the yellow LEDs at any time if you wish. Had the onboard fan controller used standard fan wiring, I would have given the case 5 stars.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • This is driving me crazy
