A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

As such, there is no beauty in the body. Although simplicity itself is very beautiful.
Coolers (140 mm) blow through the entire case well. This is enough for M.2 and Video and memory power. There are quite a few alternatives on the market.
To sum up, I am very pleased with the purchase. The main thing is to understand for what purpose you take the case. I liked this body immediately both in the picture and live.

Pros

It is difficult to describe the advantages of a budget building, but let's try. + Perforation of thin (more on this below) metal on the edges allows you to blow through the case very well. And there is no extraneous noise from the stream. + It is possible to place two 140mm coolers on the front and top panels. If you take normal blades with PWM PST support and connect the chain to the motherboard, then silence is guaranteed. And blowing the system will be redundant. + The case is so simple that the aesthetic elements are also dust screens. Which on magnetic tapes are kept on the edges. Simple and beautiful. + The insides are thought out well for a budget employee. Perhaps the location of two HDD or three SSD. If we talk about SSD, then the location is as follows: two in the cable channel, one on the plane of the motherboard. But with the HDD, not everything is so simple. You can hang one near the motherboard, but it is not recommended because of the thin metal and possible vibration. The only correct location of one HDD (3.5) in the cable channel. On one side, the HDD is reinforced with a special bracket, and on the other side, a metal case cover fits snugly - which is also a heat sink for heat dissipation. + It is possible to install any power supply - there is plenty of space. + A long 1070ti graphics card with three screws will easily fit. +The arcric freexer 33 cpu tower cooler fits comfortably. + The block of control buttons with two usb 3.0 can be moved along the edges of the sidewalls. Both on the right and on the left side. Covers are interchangeable. + The body can be positioned horizontally. There are side legs. I'm sure Cooler Master engineers wanted to use it horizontally. Since from the bottom there is quite a bit of space for air intake under the power supply. If you change the cover in some places and put the body on the horizon, then the body is given a certain "rigidity" and all vibrations are damped. An ingenious solution for such a flimsy case. + Ability to hang the radiator on the front face. + The price is attractive. I took for 2650 at the peak of sales on 112022.

Cons

Now for the cons. - The metal is very thin. Very very. Nearby there is AeroCool Qs-240 Black, and even then it is more massive. This means that there will be unnecessary vibrations and they will have to be eliminated with weights. - There is no place on top for a radiator, only for a 120 or 140 mm cooler. - Putting LED illumination is simply pointless. Really beauty is not visible. Well, something glows and blinks. Only annoying. - Side plastic "transparent" cover. She scratches at times. More spoils the whole body. If you want a window, buy glass. - The space for air intake under the power supply is very small. It's almost non-existent. But the legs from below can be safely removed and finished to the desired state. I just glued a thicker piece of rubber. Then I laid the body horizontally. - Coolers are screwed on. This means that all vibrations are transferred to the body. It is not possible to put rubber pins. Although if you remove the dust filters, you can, but it spoils the whole aesthetic. - The cable channel is designed for a minimum of wiring. But if you have removable cables from the PSU, then there is no problem. - The wiring from the external panel is quite short and it is very difficult to bypass it through the cable channel. But this is only if it is at the very top. Move the panel to another position and the length is enough. - Strange smell. But this is temporary. Hope. - The plane on which the motherboard is attached is quite thin and if you make an effort, you can turn the screws. Be careful. - Although the engineers prepared a place for the HDD by equipping it with a reinforced bar. But the temperature is still there when you load the disk to the fullest. I'm thinking of putting a small cooler in the cable channel. - It is better not to touch the body once again. Do not touch at all. He plays a little diagonally, which is not good.
