Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

A lackluster case in every conceivable way, that's about all I can say. Another advantage is that it is the right size to fit into a confined space on a computer desk, such as a narrow nook. However, because to the problems that I pointed out in the deficiencies, the construction of it is not the most convenient thing in the world, despite the fact that the quality of the materials and turntables is not terrible. In all other respects, I believe that this case is worth its price, and I believe that it will fit nicely into a system with a good power supply, where the modular system is, and long wires.

Pros

1. two whisper-quiet 120mm fans with white lights included, and long connections (everything is able to reach the motherboard without any issues); 2. 2. Three additional spaces for fans that are 120 millimeters in diameter; 3. Nets that prevent dust accumulation in the front, top, and bottom of the case 4. Cable management; 5. Because all of the edges have been sanded off, there is no risk of cutting oneself during assembly. 6. a painting of superior quality; 7. The plugs in the expansion card slots can be removed, and the bolts can be twisted by hand; nothing needs to be broken to get the plugs out; 8. All of the required bolts have been installed, and there are a good number of bolts that can be tightened by hand. There is an adapter that allows the legs of the motherboard to be screwed into the case; 9. Rubber pads placed in the baskets that hold the hard drives and at the location where the power supply unit is installed to dampen noise and vibrations; 10. There is a location where the drive can be installed.

Cons

1. There is insufficient space inside; a height increase of 5 centimeters would be appropriate. The wire for the audio front panel managed to make its way between the "mother" and the PSU in some mysterious way. I was finally successful in linking the food of the processor together. There was not enough room on top of the case for a reserve, the power supply wires were too short for me to connect in advance, and the cooler tower took up a significant amount of floor space. It is recommended that the hard drive be installed in the lower compartment since, if it is not, the upper fan that is located closest to the face will not be able to fit, unless you have a particularly slim model. 2. The cable management holes are not very well thought out in terms of placement and size; this made it difficult to attach the sata cables; 3. The location of the basket for HDDs and the room for SSDs was not well thought out. In the event that you need to take out the solid-state drive that was installed behind the power supply, you will first need to take out the power supply. Because the hard drives and the drive are situated so far apart from one another, it was initially impossible to connect all three devices to a single sata connection coming from the power supply. Even after I relocated the hard drive to the lowest shelf and placed the solid state drive in the basket, the length of the wire was still insufficient. I had to put in some effort to move the sata connector along the cord closer to the power supply unit (PSU). 5. The metal is quite thin, particularly on the top, and it is in the shape of a foil. 6. Because there is not a lot of room for the wires, you will need to use ties to bundle everything together in an organized manner and keep it as small as possible (by the way, ties are included with the kit). 7. The material that makes up the transparent wall will get scratched.
