This case is unique and functional I really enjoy the small form-factor, and the side-ways orientation (the front panel is the long side of the case.) I built my system around the Asus B450 a- Wifi II board. The ARGB fans are great. My only issue is that the fans are 3-pin and not 4-pin pwm (three pin fans are compatible with the 4-pin, PWM motherboard header. It only uses the first three pins.) Also, all three fans are set as intake, and two fans on top as intake will suck dust into the case. There's plenty of room in the case for large GPUs. The removable glass side panel makes working in the case easy. The back panel has plenty of room for cable management.

Lo más compacto en gabinete con vista de pecera. Totalmente recomendable, con buen precio, 3 ventiladores argb 120mm. Excelente compartimiento para todo lo que te plantea. Calidad es buena, conforme al precio. Cuenta con USB 3.0 front panel!!NO se sacrifica espacio para GPU, pero si pierdes en ventilación, unas por otras. Tendrás que definir bien cuál es tu objetivo, si tu interés es el menor espacio para tu PC y además un excelente diseño de pecera, te va encantar.TEMPS con mi ANTERIOR gabinete:CPU: 69c - 71c cinebench20 a 10min.GPU: 60c - 62c en 3dmark steel nomadTEMPS con Okinos Aqua 3 ACTUAL gabinete:CPU: 76c - 77c cinebench20 a 10minGPU: 60c - 62c en 3dmark steel nomadMi 5700x3d ha aumentado 6c grados debido que no cuenta con ventilación frontal. Sin embargo esta todavía dentro de los parámetros aceptables. Dos puntos extras a tomar:1.- al ser mi cpu x3d, se calienta mucho más a comparación de una versión X o non-X, si es tu caso, manejaras mejores cifras.2.- mi disipador no es el más idóneo (cooler master Evo black edition), si le instalasun Thermalright de doble torre te irá mucho mejor.Al no contar con ventilación frontal te da oportunidad de meter GPUs de 33cm o posiblemente de 34cm. Mi Sapphire pulse 7900GRE que mide 32cm entro sin problema.Si tu tarjeta micro ATX tiene la entrada pcie x16 lo suficientemente arriba para necesitar los dos brackets traseros superiores, los 2 abanicos inferiores tendrán suficiente espacio para ventilación e instalación.Algunos tips para ensamblar tu PC en este gabinete:1.- remover los abanicos superiores para conectar el cable de la CPU, te ahorraras mucho tiempo.2.- remover los dos cristales templados para poner tu motherboard y en general para toda la instalación.3.- antes de poner los abanicos inferiores en caso de... Y antes de instalar tu GPU. Conectar todos los cables de tu front panel, ya que después no tendrás espacio suficiente para manipular.

Can't really get any better at this price. I have not built in this chassis yet, however strictly speaking in terms of build quality and looks this case is a top pick for budget MATX builders. Great cable management space, and an Included ARGB fan hub is awesome for keeping your motherboard connections clean, and even better for those who want to increase airflow in the case. The case is very lightweight, atleast with no other components a significant increase is of course expected. There are a few minor issues worth pointing out, there are definitely points in the metal panels that are thinner then other spots. Not a huge issue but if you leave this case on the floor or accidentally bang the metal a little to hard it feels like it could dent easily. The fans included seem fairly low quality and other reviews seem to back this up. I would recommend getting some cheap pwm fans to replace them, they can typically be found for 8.50-10.00$ a piece, the smallest issue I have with the case is the fact the side glass panel comes wrapped on both sides but the front panel is not, only on the outside, there seem to be minor defects on the glass that a camera wouldn't be able to capture, however there are no jarring noticeable scratches on the glass.EDIT, The building experience was immaculate. Lots of space to work with, if your Mobo has a large heatsink on the back IO your probably going to end up not being able to fill the top left 2 stand offs. I would've loved another cable cutout under the graphics card near the GPU, would've made front cable management much easier. I ended up using only one cutout for my PCIE, USB3 and 24 pin then i used the top left cutout for my cpu connectors and fans. When you undo the fan cables you realize how much of a rats nest the ARGB daisychain is in but all hidden by the side panel, I will re manage cables when my cooler and fans come in. Very visually pleasing and worth the buy
great value.

I had an existing PC that was simply taking up too much room when I switched around my living space and wanted to get a new case. After pondering over the pros and cons of all the mATX cases out there I settled on this one. Being able to remove the front glass plate is a game changer during the build and I won't go back to a typical case again!Note my existing build is using an X79 motherboard so it tends to run hot and with the reports and reviews regarding using a top mounted radiator I opted to purchase a single fan radiator for liquid cooling of the cpu...and that purchase I clouded a replacement case fan controller.With 2x3.5 " Drives and 2 SSD I was not willing to give up on storage...and this case gives ample room to make some creative modifications.I moved the preinstalled case fan to pull air in from the bottom, mounted one of my SSDs on the interior of the case...I have been running at full loads with multiple installs and the Xeon processor is running stable and "cool" at a consistent 49C for the past several hours.

Good, quality case. Attractive. Very easy to remove and replace side and front panels. Adequate room for drives.Because the case is compact, there is little room in the basement for both the hard drive cage and wires from the power supply. I made it work with minimal trouble. I would recommend using a modular power supply to cut down on the amount of wires that need to be placed in the basement.The included fan hub and the dust filters at top and bottorm are a plus. The hardware box had all of hardware needed for motherboard, drives, fans (including longer screws to mount the fans at the bottom instead of the top).Overall, very happy with the case!!FYI, regarding the included fans. All of the fans are installed to exhaust (2 at the top, 1 at the rear). This will introduce Negative pressure into the case. Many experienced PC builders suggest having slightly positive presure. I moved the 2 top fans to the bottom and changed the fan's airflow (turned them upside down) to introduce positive airflow into my case.See descriptions for Negative and Positive pressure below.Negative pressure means that you have more exhaust fans than intake fans, or that your exhaust fans are more powerful than your intake fans. This creates a lower pressure inside your case than outside, and pulls some of the air in through the gaps and vents. The main advantage of negative pressure is that it can lower the temperature inside your case, since the hot air from your components is quickly removed by the exhaust fans. The main disadvantage of negative pressure is that it can increase dust buildup inside your case, since most of the dust is sucked in by the negative pressure and may not be filtered by the intake fans.Positive pressure means that you have more intake fans than exhaust fans, or that your intake fans are more powerful than your exhaust fans. This creates a higher pressure inside your case than outside, and pushes some of the air out through the gaps and vents. The main advantage of positive pressure is that it reduces dust buildup inside your case, since most of the dust is filtered by the intake fans or blown out by the excess air. The main disadvantage of positive pressure is that it can increase the temperature inside your case, since the hot air from your components may not be expelled efficiently.

The case is what I would call "DIY customization friendly" and good quality for the price. If you want to DIY install additional front bay peripherals, - like a DVD ROM and a card reader, - you certainly can. In my case I had to do it for a client. I Dremelled the front steel mesh for those, and used aluminum corners to mount both of these to the bottom. Of course, - I had to change the case's cooling scheme because of these DIY modifications (which be warned!) is a " - 3" negative pressure scheme (meaning the 3 fans are positioned to blow air OUT of the case, and air gets passively sucked in from the bottom of the case where there is a mesh. (Which makes the magnetically attached filter to the top of the case - perfectly pointless, filters belong on the bottom where the air goes in). The top filter mesh makes more sense if you choose to do what I did and convert it to +1, -2 negative pressure system (Top front fan blows air inward, the 2 others blow air out of the case, pls. see photos for clarification This is the best scheme if you want to have a large tower cooler with a fan in front. Prime95 testing confirmed this was a viable scheme with temps staying 8-10C below the CPU's TjMax at 100% CPU occupation. The fans are not particularly fast, but they are surprisingly quiet for a budget PC case.The only hiccup (you may want to be aware of) is that only after I did the aforementioned DIY modifications (thereby voiding warranty), did I realize that the fan control PCB was missing a SATA male power to SATA Female power - to 4pin ARGB power adaptor. And while it could be poor QC on company's behalf, it's also true the seller (if different from the maker company) could have checked if everything was included without voiding the warranty before submitting the PC case kits to Amazon handlers/shippers. I decided to take the stars off with seller, since doing so in both reviews would feel too vindictive. If I was somehow incorrect about this - I do hope the seller contacts me so that I would adjust the rating my reviews accordingly. Still, it wasn't cool because I had to either settle for ARGB working for just one fan (not acceptable), or purchase a pack of fans for $40 separately, which is what I did. I could have simply purchased a SATA power cable adapter but it was $26 plus shipping for anything that ships fast, and I wasn't 100% sure the native Okinos board was functional to begin with.
