MB520 ARGB is a budget case

The MB520 ARGB is a budget case with solid looks, decent build quality and a comfortable open design. Airflow is pretty good too, although I didn't feel that the included 120mm exhaust fan didn't provide enough airflow or top speed when using the lift system, so I replaced it with a Corsair MagLev equivalent. My build consists of a Ryzen 3950x and an RTX 3080 with a Corsair H150a 360mm AIO liquid cooling. It is important to note that there are two different versions of the MB520 ARGB which are almost identical, however one only supports a 240mm top mount radiator and the other (the one I ordered and received) has an extended one Mount for a 360mm radiator (note you can also mount a 360mm radiator in the front). While this case tends to be very roomy for modern builds, I also opted for a larger HX1200 power supply than needed. While the PSU fits, to simplify cable management I had to remove part of the bottom 3.5" drive cage (this cage should be removed, IMO, for larger than stock PSUs). Considering I didn't need brackets for 3.5" drives (since this system has all the NVMe storage), it didn't really matter. However, if you are going to install 3.5" internal hard drives and want to use a 200mm deep power supply, you should be aware of this issue. With a smarter PSU of 850W or less, this shouldn't be a problem. All in all, this is a pretty good case for the money.
