More pros than cons

There are many things you like about this case. It is of good quality, very durable and looks good. Installed everything for my new build with no problems. It's relatively roomy for a mini iTX build. Lots of value for the price. There are a few things I didn't really like: - BYOCM (wiring) as there's nothing to help here - The top mounted PSU causes heat and airflow issues - The front mounting area for the AIO cooler/heatsink bracket leads to the air being rotated 90 degrees to finish (limitation) - I removed the SSD/HDD cage to make room for the AIO cooler hoses. I might have been able to fit it, but it would have been tight. I didn't use an internal SSD, which made the decision easier. - Bottom-in airflow goes straight to the GPU, which is great for that, but probably not as good for the rest of the system. - Ignores bottom mounted NVMe cooling on typical iTX boards. None of the complaints are deal-breakers (at least not yet), and the five installed fans (+2 on the GPU) keep the system at acceptable temperatures under heavy loads. In all the cases I researched, there was a list of cons that you need to contend with. Overall I am delighted with this case and would buy it again.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Secret
