Review on MetallicGear MG NE510_BK02 Compact Aluminum Tempered by Aaron Ayo

Cons first because there are many pros. The PSU cover is not perforated at the top. So if you have a big GPU or your main PCIe slot is not the first slot, you have to be very careful when choosing thick GPUs. For example I have a B550 mATX ASUS TUF motherboard, the PCIe slot starts at the second slot. So if I want a good GPU, I have to make sure that the thickness of the card doesn't exceed 2.7 slots, otherwise I will have serious temperature problems. Instead, I recommend the MSI B550m Motar.2 motherboard. The hard drive cage is not fully removable, so you need to pass some cables through it.3. No top support for 120mm fan for more ventilation. Pros: 1. Excellent build quality as expected from the Phanteks sub-brand.2. Well thought through. They include an 8-pin CPU extension so you can easily connect to your CPU3 motherboard. Removable PSU mounting bracket (good to have if you have a big cable mess when assembling or swapping cables) 4. Good cut outs for cables and velcro5. Tempered glass well done6. Easy access to front dust filters/power supply. Bottom line: don't use water cooling in this case, things will get tight if you want to put a 240mm wheel in front and try to power a long/big GPU. I personally use the Scythe Fuma 2 processor tower and it works wonders here.
