Review: You won't find something less expensive at this quality I'd wager. This is an incredible value for a mid tower. Got it for 55 bucks. It's much more compact than the average mid tower (240mm top not 360) but that was a huge positive I didn't even check for. The smaller size, assuming you don't have a 5090 is literally perfect for asthetics and setting up a nice clean build. Removable GPU panels instead of breakaways, extremely near easily removable opening glass door. I like this case better than my main build, and that is a 120 dollar case! Don't get me wrong, it's very nice, but it's heavy and too much glass. This is the perfect size and feature list for PC without going micro ATX. 1 Free case fan in the back, and no fan hub, just fair warning. I didn't need those for this because I'm just repurposing parts for a build for my friend, but it should be noted that's where some price cuts went. But they didn't go to quality! Fantastic case.
Review: You literally won't find a better case at this price point. Absolutely terrific value. It's not much bigger than the case I replaced, which was about the same price when I bought it 10 months ago, but everything is just structured better, and the metal doesn't feel super cheap. There's more room for a bigger graphics card (340mm as opposed to my last case's max of 280mm), so there's plenty of space for upgrades. Cable management was a breeze with the abundance of holes and openings for cables to go to all the right places on my motherboard. Also, there's plenty of space on the rear side of the case for cable management, with more than enough cable tie points. The PSU shroud is nice and roomy as well, with an included hard drive bay tucked inside, which I appreciate, as my last case did not include one. The shroud also allows for even better cable management, especially if you're using a non-modular PSU with extra cables that you don't need. I just bundled them up and zip tied them together and tucked them away, allowing my case to stay fairly clean and open for maximum airflow, while also not making me worry if I would be able to get my side panel back on without a fight. The swiveling tempered-glass side panel that is fully removeable is a nice touch. With the mesh front panel, bottom and top vents (with dust filters; the top filter being magnetic), and rear exhaust, the case feels practically open for lots of air flow. As far as noise level, as with any mostly-open, high-volume airflow case, it strongly depends on your setup. With room for up to eight (8) 120mm case fans, or six (6) 120mm fans and two (2) 140mm fans (top vent), there's lots of room for efficient cooling. But if you're like me, you don't care too much about the noise, as you tend to tune it out when you're immersed in an intense gaming session. So, I have my GPU switched to performance mode, and my case fans are set to keep things nice and chilly, so it can get a bit noisy at times, but again, nothing that really bothers me too much. If you have a dual-BIOS GPU set to quiet mode, and have your fans fine-tuned to perform at maximum efficiency with minimal noise, the openness of the case, while creating the possibility for more noise exposure, also allows for plenty of airflow for efficient cooling, allowing your fans to keep things moving at a nice, low dB. Overall, it's a solid case. As stated at the beginning, you won't find a better value case for the price.

*by R***N on 18 September 2025*

Overall a great case. The pros; the price is right, fits atx boards and has room for extra hard drives. My one complaint is that the usb 3 header doesn’t fit the case’s cable with my x870 motherboard. A quick fix with an angled adapter but something to keep in mind. I used a peerless assassin 120 se and could only fit one 140mm fan on the top for exhaust with this cooler. Finally, I wasn’t sure if I’d like the glass panel on a hinge but it makes it easy to access the components. Priced right and good features.
