Review on ๐Ÿ’ป ASUS TUF Gaming GT501 Mid-Tower Computer Case: EATX Compatible with USB 3.0 Front Panel - GT501/GRY/WITH Handle by Reggie Stewart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice and compact body.

This is my first PC build so my opinion may not be the usual opinion of some others. First off, this case seems RELIABLE. Nothing about this item feels cheap despite the very reasonable price. The side glass is great, the crazy strap on the front helps move and has grown on me, and the fans work great. On this site you will not regret your purchase. I put an ATX furniture in it and was having trouble getting the top left screw in because it's so tight. This was the only time I had a problem with the place. What can I say, it's very comfortable. You need to think about how you want to route the cables upstairs if you plan to add some fans up there. My mobo power supply cords are maybe an inch from the fans and I don't have a lot of options to change this due to my massive CPU cooler. However, this is a personal matter. I'm sure an AIO liquid cooler will solve this problem, but I prefer air cooling. The space for the power supply is quite cramped, at least for me. I bought a 750w PSU and I don't know if they get much bigger as the wattage increases, but I had to struggle a bit to get it on the cord. Right in front of this space you can put in hard drives and I'm not sure if they can be removed if you plan to upgrade to a full SSD. If this is the case, it will make it easier to run cables. For some reason my top headphone jack has failed and the output volume is very low. I haven't made any changes to the internals, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I get full volume when plugging into the jack on the back, so there could be an issue with the chassis jack. That's my only problem with the case so far. Airflow is excellent as far as I can tell, and with some extra fans it doesn't go above 65C with fairly intense gaming. Make sure your GPU is suitable. I have a 5700xt and it fits great but there are some really big boxes that may not fit. Overall, this is a great case for a beginner and won't take up your desk space or look disproportionate like a larger case might. I highly recommend it for the price and quality.

Pros
  • Very Good Price
Cons
  • Interchangeable
