Have you encountered any difficulties with fan hubs due to variations in connector types among different brands? Perhaps you have experienced a situation where one non-functional port affected the performance of the entire hub. At HellCracks, we have addressed these concerns with our latest innovation, the HellCracks direct RGB fan.
Our HellCracks direct RGB fan features a Master and Slave configuration, eliminating the need for additional fan hubs or smart hubs. It simplifies the installation process, allowing for a hassle-free experience.
Here’s what we did:
We have pre-installed the HCS RGB 12cm Master fan in the HCS195V2 and connected it to the RGB Switch. Additionally, we have pre-installed two HCS RGB 12cm Slave fans by connecting them to the Master Fan. To choose your preferred LED style, simply click the reset button.
With our HellCracks direct RGB fan, we aim to streamline the installation process and provide you with a seamless and convenient solution for your RGB lighting needs.
Quality for the price.
I wasn’t expecting much from a PC case that cost 30. I just wanted it to do a job and look half decent. But it’s exceeded my expectations. Very sturdy, looks good. And cable management is well catered for in this case. Definitely would recommend if you’re looking to build a budget gaming PC.
HELCRACKS HCS195v2
First of all let me clarify the Case comes with 3 ARGB fans pre assembled in the front of the case.
The rear exhaust fan (4 slave fan) was purchased separately and daisy chains to the front fans which are all controlled via a separate LED button on top of the case.
I’ve recently built 2 different spec PC’s in this case and the finished product looks much more expensive than the rrp.
The case comes well packaged and has usb 3 motherboard connectivity/ usb and audio connections.
Packaged separately inside is a screw package with motherboard/psu/gpu/SSD and extra standoffs.
Cable routing is easy with plenty of room to cable tie all cables to keep them tidy.
This case accepts ATX/micro ATX boards with ease and comes with top and bottom dust filters.
The tempered glass has a peel off clear coat on both sides and has a solid feel about it.
This is a budget case but with a premium look at a great price.
For a limited time you can claim a free additional fan pack or 3.5 IPs programmable screen see HCS website for terms and conditions.
I like i
For the price, you get quite a good case. Glass side and the rest of the case is pretty darn good quality. I never bought a case before so can’t compare.
It did not have the fan that is supposed to sit on the back but I’ve messaged the seller to send it separately (still waiting but haven’t been 24 hours yet).
Good color, good size and its easy ti assemble.
Overall 5 star from me. Unless
they don’t send the fan haha.
Unassuming but smart case with plenty of cable access
Perfect fit for an MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk motherboard.
One gripe: comes with 6 mobo standoffs fitted and two more in a baggie. But my mobo had 9 mount points; either one standoff was missing or they don’t supply enough – I had to buy a pack.
However, everything else is fine, it’s wide enough to squeeze in the massive Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE cooler and the one case fan supplied keeps it plenty cool enough.
The case itself is quite light, but regardless reasonably sturdy.
There is plenty of space and access for cable management at the back. Some of the gaps are quite well hidden, I saw a review complaining about lack of port for the 24-pin power connector – I had no such problem.
Comes with a dust filter at the bottom for the PSU, but really could do with one at the front too. I might make one with mesh and magnetic strips, to sit behind the front plastics.
Sound deadening works, it’s nice and quiet.
I don’t like flashy RGB fans and cases, a “sleeper” case is much preferred, and this fits the bill. It can sit in a corner of the living room and not make a feature of itself.
fantastic case for less than £40
very very happy with this. . .plenty of space, good airflow. . only downside is there isnt a slot for a HDD , this currently sits with my SSD just above the power unit section in this case (HDD is too big to go in the space they designate) so be careful . Its not an issue for me unless i move my pc about then the sata wiring can get loose on the HDD
This case looks very nice with the ARGB fans which you can control the colour of from a button on the front io. BTW, these fans connect through SATA power, and are all chained together, so you cannot control the speed of the fans. I’ve found this to not be a problem, as it keeps the system cool, and are not loud. The case was good to build in, no major issues, but I have a few cons of the case. The case came with micro atx standoffs already installed, and I used an atx motherboard, so had to install 3 extra standoffs. This was hard, as a ‘screwdriver’ type tool for putting the standoffs in was not included, so I had to use pliers, which scratched the standoffs a bit. Another problem with the case is that there is barely any space at the back. I also used a modular psu, and had to shove the cables next to the PSU. Luckily, you cannot see the back panel from the glass side of the case. I also had to quite forcefully put the back panel on, due to the lack of space. Overall this case is good for the price, however could do with changes such as extra space at the back for cables.
Updated from a Corsair 2000 Silent due to size, needing something smaller. Great case surprised by the functionality and quality for such a price just as good as my Corsair for under half the price. Plenty of rear cable management room. Only short fall is there is no sound proofing on the inside of the front like my Corsair but that’s an easy fix.
Overall, great value for money.
Great budget case
Great budget case. No frills but no problems either. It’s deep enough for a good cooler but fit your graphics card last as it can get tight to plug things into the main board afterwards if you have bigger hands.
Better Than Expected
I needed a cheap case for a pc, all the pc will do is run Discord, Music and record gameplay via OBS.
This case is cheap let’s get that out of the way, it looks cheap, feels cheap and has basically no weight to it other than the glass panel.
The thing that surprised me though was whilst building in it, the case did not flex more than I would expect really, nor did it do anything that would mean I need a plaster!
The pre-installed standoffs were all in the right spot for the motherboard I installed, and the spare yes there was a spare, was installed where the motherboard needed one but the case didn’t have one installed.
The IO Shield was a bit of a pain to install but they can be in much more expensive cases as well, so if you buy just know you might need to jiggle it abit.
The PSU space is a little to “Short” in height, I had to push the “mid-plate” up abit to get my PSU to fit in to it, so I could screw it in, but once that was done there was no issue with the PSU feeling lose or anything.
The SSD/HDD holder is not very good, whilst it will hold a single SSD and single HDD, it is flimsy until a HDD is mounted in it and it can be awkward to reinstall. The other downside to it, is it is screwed in from the bottom of the case so you need to lie it down on it’s back ideally to unscrew the holder.
One thing I would suggest is a modular PSU as there is not really much room for “Stuffing” cables below the mid-plate especially if you using the HDD/SSD Holder.
None of the screws are “Captive” so they will fully come out of the panels and the ADD-IN Cards section has a rather weak holder once you install a card, you might want to put the “Retention Plate” in a draw and use screws to hold your cards in.
The 3 fans that come installed look OK and do move a little air but nothing spectacular, if you can spend the 20 I think it is and get the 5 pack of Antec fans to replace the fans in the front and add 2 up top.
I know the last couple of points seem “negative” but honestly I would say the same about some of the bigger brands cases that cost 2, 3, 4 or 10 times as much as this case, for 40 it’s hard to do worse or even better when including 3 RGB fans, as well as the glass panel.
Honestly if you need a cheap case to just build a cheap low powered pc in, then you could do a lot worse!
At this price, cannot be faulted
A very traditional case with PSU at the top.
Lots of room for building, stand-offs already fitted for mATX, neat little enclosure at the bottom to directly fit an SSD, plus more traditional cage underneath.
No sharp edges.
Supplied fans keep the case cool and and are surprisingly quiet.
Minor cons –
Mother board reaches right to the floor, so if your front panel pins are on the bottom of the board it’s a bit fiddly to fit them
No real option to route thick PSU cables around the back, but there is plenty of space at the top of the case the tie them together
Side panels are not very thick so it’s easy to bend them when not attached, but they are perfectly OK when fitted
Highly recommend
Extremely good case. Really high quality, looks like the top brands. Much better than in the images. Fit an atx motherboard and everything else comfortably. Very nice size. Highly recommend.
Sturdy and affordable case
For the price it comes with a lot of features. 4 drive slots, can fit large fans, 7 pcie sheilds and sound dampening. Mine came with a slight kink in the frame where the psu sits (but that might be me dropping it). Depending on the Motherboard it can be a tight fit but overall great.
This case (for 30 quid) is awesome.
Comes with standoffs only in the micro atx spots but does come with a bag of extra standoffs and screws.
Very surprised with the build quality of this.
Ive owned various corsair cases in the past and currently have a Corsair 7000D for my main system and obviously this isnt equal to them it does bare the question; how can corsair charge so much more?
If youre looking for an office pc case or even a blacked out stealth gaming case then for 30 quid you cant go wrong!!
The system i plan to put in this has a 280mm corsair aio but from the looks of it a 280mm aio wont fit. A 240 looks like it will squeeze in. (Nothing can be mounted in the top of the case). Will be using my trusty 212 evo instead with some 120 intakes instead.
Will update when ive finally got everything installed!
