Revainrating 3 out of 5

You get what you pay for (in a good way).

This case is far from the best in PC design. This is fairly unknown which is why assembly tips and tutorials are rare on the internet and they all seem to be in Hindi (which might not be the best if you don't speak Hindi). Material and equipment leave a lot to be desired. Customization is not the best. But for $65 it's pretty damn good. It looks fantastic. It fits everything I need and does it very well. It has some nice features, like a power supply stand and a solid work surface, as well as cable management not only on the visible side but also on the back. Pros: * Looks very good. Clean, simple lines, dark glass and only slightly obtrusive branding*. It offers enough space for MANY cooling solutions. You might not want to fit a full custom water circuit into this thing (although you can probably fit one with some work), but an AiO or two and/or any fans you'll ever need will do. Even with a full-size ATX motherboard, there's room on top for a pair of Noctua NF-P12 Redux, and with the two Corsair ML140 Pro's I lined up front, there's no problem.* I've had no problems, one GPU to install in full size . Sapphire Nitro + RX 5700 XT fit without problems. Cons: * Not many disc mounting options. The PSU tray slides out farther than you need, and underneath there's room for two standard hard drives. It would be nice if a third one worked there. However, there are several (three I think) places on the back of the motherboard tray to install an SSD*. The materials are so-so. The steel that makes up the body is quite flexible. Not the hardest thing in the world, but as long as you treat it like a PC you'll be fine*. Some design thoughts are as follows. not good. For example, pop-ups for GPU/PCI peripherals on the back. There is only 1 that only comes out when the screw is removed. The rest is perforated from the steel that makes up the body and must be moved back and forth to harden its attachment points until they snap. Maybe you can get them back eventually if you don't twist them too much when you take them off. For me the biggest problem was that they were so close to the tray that when I tried to remove them they hit a set of capacitors on the motherboard. So I had to bend them all the way to be able to rock them back and forth enough to break them and put my GPU in there. Not the best design, Gigabyte. Bad.* SLIGHTLY too small to comfortably work with a full ATX mobile device. It was actually just an issue with the aforementioned peripheral slots on the back and a few post-install mods I made (added a bit of lighting inside the case). It was too tight to be perfect. But a worker. All in all, this is a pretty good case. It has its flaws, but I have yet to work with one that doesn't. For $65 you could definitely do a lot worse.
