Review on 🕶️ Antec Dapper Dark Phantom DP301M: Compact Micro-ATX Gaming Case with ARGB Lighting and Tempered Glass Side Panel by Darrin Parasson

The case overall isn't bad - heavy, strong, enough room for expansion (maybe not larger liquid cooling systems), just what you'd expect at this price point. disappointed with the quality of the USB3.0 front panel. The first time I plugged in a USB3.0 hard drive, my computer's USB bus simply reset and all USB devices disconnected. USB on the front panel is just unusable. I initially suspected that it was a problem with my new motherboard's USB chip, but after realizing that the USB3.0 expansion card didn't help either, I began to doubt that the front USB3.0 was to blame . was surprised when I removed the connector module on the front panel. As you can see from the photo, the USB3.0 connector is so poorly made that it looks even worse than the very cheap USB3.0 female cable I later used as a replacement - no wonder this has become a temporary one USB bus failure led to my computer. Luckily, neither my motherboard nor my hard drive was damaged. I just used a spare USB extension cable to replace the original connector and now everything is working again. However, the process is painful. I don't expect anything beyond this price point, but a defective, poorly made USB connector that could potentially damage other devices is definitely not acceptable. The front audio port is also of poor quality when the front I/O module is removed.
