In this building attracts, first of all, the price. Well, and a banal desire to take possession of a compact case in order to fill it with a powerful stuffing. In fact, when assembling a computer, you encounter a bunch of problems - there is nowhere to put the power supply cables (but there are ears for attaching cables to the case, although there are few of them), hard drive cables interfere and the hard drives themselves, fans are also not installed without problems, plus where You also need…

Pros
  • 1) Appearance. Looks solid at least. The only not very pleasant moment, in my opinion, is the corrugated front panel (looks like it was milled); 2) Dimensions. The case is compact, but at the same time roomy; 3) Compatible with conventional ATX power supplies; 4) The manufacturer carefully put a set of fasteners, including several reusable clamps for tying forever tangled cables. Fasteners for 4 coolers (on the right side) are not included. In addition, silicone anti-vibration pads are installed on one seat under the hard drive. The kit includes instructions in 2022, as well as a filter grill on a magnetic mount for installation above the CPU cooler. By default, the same filter, only on ordinary bolts, is installed under the power supply; 5) The presence of USB3.0 connectors on the front panel; 6) Made with high quality, strong. There is a removable rib (although structurally it is not a rib at all) of stiffness, which allows you to install any not very heavy objects on the case, such as a small TV. In the slots for expansion devices (PCI, PCI-E), by default, not blind plugs are installed, but perforated ones with holes. In addition, the attachment of expansion devices itself deserves special praise - first it (the device) is inserted into the counterpart (there are special grooves for this purpose at the bottom of the case), and then it is bolted from above. It turns out unrealistically strong and reliable.
Cons
  • 1) You need to carefully choose a cooler for the processor. Only low-profile coolers are supported (which is not surprising given the size of the case); 2) Not enough space inside. Despite the fact that, according to the manufacturer, you can install two 3.5 "and one 2.5" or 5 2.5" hard drives in the case, you really can’t turn around there. Either the cables from the power supply are in the way, or something else will definitely prevent you from installing it correctly. In my In this case, 1 hard drive bay (under the drive) had to be sacrificed for the sake of laying extra cables from the power supply. But even so, I can hardly fit a 3.5" hard drive and there is room for one 2.5" hard drive (plus a free slot for an optical drive) Perhaps the situation will change using a PSU with detachable cables, or a more compact PSU; 3) There may be problems with the cooling of the components (but most likely there will be no such problems); 4) The body is painted with very bad paint! It so happened that I had to install the coolers on the side twice (there are 4 seats on the right). On the second time, all the paint crumbled from under the bolt.

Among all HTPC cases, this one stands out for its simplicity, elegance and small size. We managed to achieve complete silence even under load by replacing the fan in the PSU with a more expensive 120 mm 800 rpm fan (more than enough for a 300 W PSU), installing a massive low-profile copper cooler and 4 80 mm fans connected to a voltage of 5 Volts. With its pros: Simply excellent workmanship of the frame and plastic parts. The front panel looks solid and expensive, has an interesting texture and

Good product, good quality, not bad.

For a long time I was looking for a case for HTPC and decided to stop at it, since I need a media center for watching videos and listening to music. The case is not suitable for a gaming computer. I bought the power supply from the same company, as I found the only one with detachable wires (on the manufacturer's website, the size of the case and the PSU are indicated in detail). Choose your optical drive carefully. The length of the drive must be 170 mm. If more, then it will rest on the BP…

Pros
  • - Qualitatively executed; -Good equipment; -Available instruction.
Cons
  • Didn't find it.

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I bought it in August 2022 or 2022, I don’t remember exactly . It is used with the AMD A10-7890K system and the Radeon RX550 as a computer in the country - mainly for watching movies, working with documents and not heavy games. I was disappointed that it was not painted inside, and the frame of the 5.25 bay was narrowed, which is why my BlueRay drive did not fit. You can file, but did not.

Pros
  • + thick metal + a lot of places for garter ties + low, only 2U + lots of space for fans
Cons
  • - unpainted inside - compartment 5.25 has a narrowed frame, because of which my drive did not fit

No minuses as such, comfortable to use.

I bought a case - I decided to remember my youth, when all cases were horizontal desktops and stood under monitors. Everything is cool in this case, but I missed the point in the description that it is too thin and only low-profile expansion cards (video, etc.) fit into it. That's such sadness. Powerful video cards of this size simply do not exist. Otherwise, everything is decent - there is UBS3.0, almost any power supply fits, the maximum height of the cooler is 7 cm, but I would recommend…

Pros
  • Just a good desktop. Who is looking for such a thing for HTPC.
Cons
  • The interior space is not very well designed in my opinion. Overall, though, I didn't do too badly.

. My config is Asus F2A85M PRO + APU 5800K + Scythe< SCBSK-2100> Big Shuriken 2 rev. B + SSD OCZ Vertex3 120Gb + HDD 3 Tb Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 + ASUS Xonar DX, powers all COUGAR 550 W + 2 Noctua NF exhaust valves -R8 PWM (4pin, 80x80x25mm, 17.1dB, 300-1800rpm). Used for movies, music, internet and games. The performance is enough for almost all games, well, except perhaps for Stalker and Metro. Satisfied. I've been using it for about a year now, and it's generally good. Looks…

Pros
  • 1. View 2. Price 3. It costs productive iron, it cools well, although it can be better, but then you need to increase the size of the case.
Cons
  • If you do not find fault with trifles, then no.
