Anyone else got one of these? Currently can be had for around £60 online.

They look pretty much like a Cooler Master H500M with some extras included.


Tempted to grab one, but at the same time never heard of GameMax and it is not like I need it as what I have more than does the job, just a case of trying something new without being wasteful.
 
Made the order. Let’s see how it compares to my current case.

What do you think of the case? I recall you was after something like this @orbitalwalsh


Here is a review of it:

Includes vertical GPU mount, 2 x 200mm + 1x 120mm RGB fans with remote controller, removable filters plus very good airflow, looks amazing value for £65. Plenty of room for other fans as well.

Seems pretty much silent on lowest fan setting too, didn't mention what it's made of but even if it's plastic it's great value.

If you guys act fast it can be had for a tad under £60 at the moment online with free delivery :)

Well, i have the H500M and this Gamemax case have 3 better things:

- The A-RGB + Fan hub
- The tempered glass side panel removal
- The PSU shroud is 10x better

Mad ain’t it? Goes to show how much profit CoolerMaster are making if GameMax can make this case at this price point.
 
First time I have seen the Antec NX800. It looks good also. But still more money and you do not get a remote control which I like. Nice easy way of controlling fan speed and colours :)

First time I have heard of GameMax and they look like they offer excellent value for money relative to the others.

Hmm... do I wait...... I quite like the look of the one with the glass front, wonder how much that will affect air flow?

Glass front will no doubt have an impact on airflow. I like 200mm fans. My current case has one at the front and I like the idea of having two there instead.

Me too. I've ordered the F15 because I'm not 100% sure how well my graphics card will be cooled in the kamikaze because the top PCI slot is set low ish. I'm going to be tripping over cases

Looking forward to see pics of both you guys cases :)

Lucky you. Mine got dispatched today and is being delivered tomorrow. Odd because it was supposed to come on Friday and I assumed it was dispatched a while ago via snail mail. Seems like it is next day delivery anyway. Oh well, no complaints from me :)
 
Mine arrived and on a quick inspection build quality looks very good for the price. Will get it built over the weekend and report back :)
 
Got mine setup. Happy with it except for the top 200mm seems to have a rattle.

Will run some tests and report back tomorrow.
 
Seems like there is some rattle coming from both the 200mm fans. But one is worse than the other. This is mainly detectable when on the lower fan mode (from what I see there is only two settings, low and high). When on high the rattle for the most part is gone.

Can you guys put your ear close to the 200mm fans when on low fan settings to see if you get any rattling noises please? Just wondering if I got unlucky or this is how they all are due to it being so cheap.

But yeah, apart from that, very good case for the money!
 
Ask and you shall receive! :)

Notice the magnetic strip on the side? It is a GameMax one and was only three quid, currently hooked to my mobo. But like an idiot I did not realise they had ARGB ones for a couple quid more and I could have had that work on the fan controller and change at the same time as the 3 fans. Lol. Oh well, might just buy one of those also as they are so reasonably priced. All depends on how good their support is, as I have contacted them about the fan rattle to see what solution they can provide. If their support is good then I will buy two and also sing their praises here and elsewhere :)
 
Static pictures do not do it justice though, looks much better in person and build quality is very good. Cooling is very good also. Just wish the fans would not bloody rattle!

Not finished tidying up my cables yet by the way :p

Those magnetic strips look. Like a great finishing touch. I never thought I'd be one for windowed cases and RGB but I can't wait to pimp up my pcs :)

I do like RGB myself, could not give a toss what others think. I do go through phases though, as I also like the plain look also. ARGB is more fun though, can ways just turn it off when you get the girls round I suppose? The remote makes it easy to do. Lol :p
