GameMax Silent PC Case - a viable budget case

[OZONE]

This case has caught me by surprise. Purchased for £50 as part of my dad's office build. It's essentially a Chinese knock off version of the Fractal Define series.

Whilst the build quality isn't as good as the Fractal, the case is surprisingly good. It has the same modular approach, sound insulation, front and bottom dust filters, a PSU shroud and a good cable management system. Also a very lightweight case, and it includes a fan controller at the front panel.

Anyone looking for a solid, no frills case on a budget should definitely consider it. Negatives: No reset switch, only 1 SSD caddy.

Apologies for the shoddy pictures - my phone camera isn't fantastic!

Gamemax are kind of the want a good / great case for cheap option and one that everyone should look at.

This is especially true for the Kamakazi Pro and the F15M. Kamakazi Pro is the best high airflow MATX case around, its front styling though doesn't appeal to everyone. While the F15M is just a copy and update to the Cooler Master H500 chassis that makes it smaller and increases the airflow - its probably the best high airflow case available today and is available for far too cheap.

I really like what they make, but it really is evident they often copy other companies designs, improve them and then sell their competing case cheaper. Great for the consumer but probably not healthy for the market.

Tbh I was surprised at how good the case was. Installation was a breeze and the modular nature helped. Furthermore, it's quiet and offers decent airflow. I don't mind about their 'ethics' as long as we, the consumer, benefits.

Mounting point for 2 more ssd just behind the front intake fan.
