The ideal choice for silent air-cooled systems. Powerful magnets secure the top cover securely. Replaceable top cover Maximum airflow for water-cooled systems For users looking for maximum performance with water-cooled systems, the top cover with high air permeability due to the use of lightweight mesh materials is the ideal choice. Two Pure Wings 2 fans Silent operation Two installed Pure Wings 2 fans with optimized blades provide excellent airflow and cooling.

Pros
- extremely useful cable management. Large interior space while having visually tiny proportions. magnetically replaceable top panel. filters for dust are present. The top, front, and side (non-glass) covers are soundproof.
Cons
- Little air ducts on the front panel result in poor ventilation. I would choose a design with a front panel made of perforations (for instance, be silent! 500DX Pure Base). Although they are interchangeable, this panel can be obtained directly from the manufacturer, but it is very expensive.
Pros
- The casing is really spacious yet has a few minor issues (not without this).
Cons
- I encountered a difficulty when attempting to install the mATX board in this case since the cooler, which is positioned on the back wall of the case (for blowing), sits on the CPU cooling system, or more specifically, on the radiator itself. It's all down to how the tower is mounted on the motherboard, or more specifically, where the tower mounting frame is located. The tower on my motherboard (ASRock N68C-GS4 FX) is positioned so that the CPU CO fan faces up rather than the back wall. The whole 140mm valve, which was installed at the back for blowing, had to be temporarily moved to the front wall (for blowing), close to the second 140mm valve.
Pros
- Very small, making it ideal for builds using EATX motherboards. material, and simplicity of construction. This is the benefit that stands out to me the most.
Cons
- In the event that a radiator 360 is installed, the number of turntables in the current buter will increase to five. impedes the progress of the HDD basket. I think it would be cool if there were holes for the scoundrel just over the meter on the turntables. It is not entirely clear why they insist on hanging the solid-state drive (SSD) over the backplate of the processor. If the assembly is not hot, then it is fine; however, this configuration is not appropriate for workstations because the SSD will simply evaporate. It is rather direct in its request for a vacant space, and I would like to see it moved lower.
