GameMax F15M Gaming Case (Budget Cooler Master H500M)

Tempted with this case, will be slotting in an MSI B450 gaming pro carbon and an NZXT Kraken X52, assuming there is ample room? Not built for years as I had mine last done in a shop due to time constraints so a little nervous!
 
Can I ask anyone with this case how do you find it so far? I'm on the fence between 500DX and GameMax F15M. The F15M is not that popular however there are some reviews online for example by Mike's unboxing.

Anyone else who has any of these cases, can they share their experience? Mostly leaning towards GameMax F15M mostly due to how spacious it is and for supporting beefy rads like Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240/280 both front and top (280 top might be a struggle).
 
I am very tempted to get this...... my current case allows my 3090 to hit 110 degrees when mining so have the side of th ecase off to keep the temps down to 104. I assume a 3090 will fit in it no problems?

what the hell... ordered!

my main fear is i hope my cpu cooler with 2x 120ml fans fit in the top ok.... there does not seem to be that much room at the top.. am sure the radiator would fit OR the 2x120ml fans... but not sure if both together will.

edit seems i should be ok looking at other posts... my rad is a chunky one tho.

As you can see TNA has an Arctic Freezer 240 in the top so it should be Ok.
 
Case arrived today. Hopefully will install tomorrow. I was happy with my existing case and had no intention of changing but this one is on another level. 1st impressions are v good indeed.
 
Spent all morning installing my GameMax 15 M and I think it either has a fault or is missing a cable. Gutted as I need my pc so may have to move it all back :(

There is no power to any of the fans or the fan LEDs.

Am I right in saying there are just 2 plugs I need to plug into my MSI tomahawk? One in to a system power plug and one into the low power "rainbow" socket (for lighting)
The only clue I have is the control box at the back at the bottom of it has a section called power but there is nothing plugged into it. This was the last case in the shop I am worried it has had something taken out of it and now it's stuffed.
Or am i doing something really stupid? Thanks

Edit it appears to be a SATA connection. FGS would have been nice for some instructions to say that

Don't you just plug a cable in from your power supply to the fan controller for the power aspect? Rgb as you said goes to mobo. My mate has this exact case so I've aksed him.
 
Hi thanks for the reply. You missed my edit. You were right tho it needed a SATA cable. I have never chavved.up a case before so this is new to me ;)

With no instructions and even the ones I found online did not mention it either I almost gave up
