Review on πŸ’» Aluminum MATX Case: Tower PC Chassis Supporting ATX PSU, Ideal for Gaming, Home, and Office Use - DIY Desktop Computer Enclosure by Steve Linquist

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good case for the strong in spirit!

Overall, the case is excellent. There are definitely some things I would change, but there's nothing a drill can't fix! The chassis is very compact and doesn't have much space when running AIO on the back. You need to make sure your heatsink and fans clear the VRM heatsinks on your motherboard. In my case, I had to remove one of the large thumbscrews on my ML240 and slide it over the back of the case. Luckily my power supply used ribbon cables. Since my 2080 Ti was thick, I had to take the cover off as well, but it ended up fitting perfectly with the stock 120x25mm fans, so I don't mind at all. My only real complaint is the front fan placement. There is a 1.5 to 2 inch gap between the fans and since I had to remove the cover it couldn't get enough airflow to the center of my GPU. I took a ruler, took measurements and drilled new holes for the front fan. Works perfectly for me and I think these vents should be included in production. Note that most USB 3.0 headers will get in the way of the front top fan. I recommend the $7 low profile 3.0 header, which can then be folded under the motherboard and tucks all the cables on top. With tinted glass you can't see the cables tangling up there, so I didn't use an RGB fan up there. In general, a cool case, I am very satisfied. I'd say it's a bit harder to build than most and I recommend it to experienced builders, people who like a challenge, or those who want less but don't want to sacrifice ITX (2 DIMM slots, less USB, Power adapter). SFX, etc.).

Pros
  • Simple and luxurious design with high space efficiency (interfaces below, card in and out)
Cons
  • Hard to say
