Let's start by saying that this is a budget case for a budget price, so if you're looking for Coolermaster, BeQuiet, or ThermalTake levels of build quality you may be disappointed. That said, this is an excellent budget case that's easy to build and looks great. So much better than those ugly, black, boxes that normally inhabit this price point.
I bought this case for a work PC for which I would normally use the cheapest case I could find. This fella wasn't much more so I thought I'd give it a try.
This is a lightweight case which makes building and moving the computer around after it's built a breeze. It has a large Perspex window that takes up the entire side of the case, and another one at the front covering the cooling fans.
The case is very roomy for a midi-tower which is mainly down to the lack of drive bays. Yes, if you want to mount a DVD drive or what have you in this case you should look elsewhere because there are no bays. This is also a good point because that space can now accommodate a full length graphics card. I think I would have liked to have seen one bay at the top for a fan controller or something though.
While we're on the subject of drive bays, there is space inside to mount two 2.5" drives against the side panel, and room for a further two 3.5" drives at the bottom of the case. This should be more than enough for most people and as you can see from my pictures it can take that quantity of drives with ease.
The front of the case is dominated by two RGB rans that can be controlled with a little remote control that's included. There are various modes from solid colours to colour chases and glows. It's pretty garish but a nice touch on a case at this price point. Above the fans sits the usual complement of USB2, USB3, and audio ports.
The case comes with a small fan-bus and the aforementioned remote control to manage the LEDs. The speed of the fans themselves don't appear to be able to be controlled with the remote but seeing as they are very, very quiet it's not really an issue. There is also an 80mm fan at the rear of the case which is also quiet.
As far as ease of build is concerned, you can see from my pictures that it's pretty easy to do a fairly tidy build in there. There are loads of holes in the internal chassis to poke wires through and hide clips. I was pleasantly surprised. The cables for the front panel ports and buttons are very long meaning that threading them behind the motherboard to keep them out of sight is easy.
All in all I'm happy with this case. I'll probably buy a few more for other work machines. The fast delivery as usual from OcUK is the icing on the cake.
