Revainrating 3 out of 5

What is good and what is bad in this case. In its current form, it costs $100.

I am reviewing the H710 body (without LED) and am basing my evaluation on the list price. The Revain hull cost $140. The case is a mixed bag and my biggest gripe is that for the price the attention to detail is disappointing. She has a beautiful body, but she has problems. Pros: Big case with lots of space to work in. Lots of places to install SSD drives. Robust construction. To install. I really appreciate this single wire connector for HDD, LED, reset button. Bad #1: Problem: With the case size, there is no reason why, when a 280mm AIO cooler is mounted on the bottom, there shouldn't be enough space to clean the Gigabyte X570 Pro motherboard, especially the motherboard heatsinks . The gap is small and it's almost an unforgivable oversight, I've seen this complaint in other reviews and it's really disturbing. Solution #1: The motherboard is installed about 2.5cm below its current position so the fan spacing of 280mm is unacceptable. Problem #2: The 5.25-inch bay has no quick-swap slots and is designed to accommodate three drives. The drives are mounted very close together to accommodate 3 drives, which can lead to overheating. The 5.25 bays are the bread and butter of the case as all our games and data are stored here instead of on the SSD/M.2 PCIe. The bay is also screwed on from below and the case has to be flipped over to get it in the drive bay, it was such a poor design. Solution #2: Change it from 3 discs to 2 discs to increase airflow and add classic plastic shells for quick installation; This feature is available in the $140 and $60 charging cases. Since there is space below, consider adding a second drive bay if needed to accommodate a total of four hard drives. Problem #3: The Smart Top Tray for installing fans and coolers is great, but they sacrificed airflow for installation. Quick release on the right side for accessing the back of the motherboard and cables. The air pushed out of the top is directed more to the left side as they have raided the metal on the right side for exhaust. It just seems like an odd choice to do this, or that there wasn't a way to do it without impeding airflow. Solution #3: Redesign the latch to take up less space and increase airflow from the top right side of the case. Little Handle #1: Why wasn't this case designed these days to fit 120mm or 140mm fans anywhere, rather than just one or a few? It's really close, they could have managed to take all 140 but not why? Who knows. Using the hole data, this case can hold: Front: Top 140, Mid 120, and Bottom Top: Front 140, Mid 140, and Back 120 Back: A 140 or 120 This is a really good case, but only if it's around $100 costs . That extra $40 is where serious design flaws aren't worth it for long-term use. At a price of €100 it would be 4.5 out of 5 stars. It's 3 stars for $140. If they fixed all the problems and made it fan friendly I would pay $160 for the whole day.
