Overall I’m happy with the case, fits everything I wanted and has ok space for cable management if you take a bit of time. The stock fans are quieter than I expected which is nice.
One issue I’m having is the fans seem to randomly stop on boot up (were fine for first few days). They initially start up and then one or two will stop. Going into the bios and changing the speed back and forth seems to fix it.. until the next reboot. I’ll probably try some different fans and see if it still happens.
First of all, this case looks brilliant. Even better is that it comes with 4x 120mm RGB fans preinstalled, with an RGB controller built in. It fits a microATX motherboard and an RX6600 GPU with lots of room to spare, and there are lots of loops for attaching zip ties when routing cables. Would recommend.
used to build my first pc it has good ports such as usb and audio, has a reset button and a button to change rgb which is amazing as you do not need to install custom rgb software as long as you are alright with the one preinstalled. the pre installed fans are also good quality and quite with nice lights for rgb. it even fit my triple card gpu with some fiddling. the glass is very clear and for the most part does not reflect. there is space for ssd and 2 hard drive trays if you still use them. all the airfliw spots come with mesh that can be easily cleaned even the one for the power supply and the top one is magnetic. over all it was very easy to build in. only change is the pcie slots which are breakaway and does not use screws but for a budget case i will deal with it considering how well everything else works. the power button also feels nice. over all 9/10
Great Case! Amazing airflow while having a pleasing style. The only reason I did not give this a 5 star is because the metal that was used to hold the screw for the front glass panel is very thin, it did not hold its thread for very long and so now my top right screw does not actually screw and instead just sits there, this could have been mitigated by using slightly thicker metal in the areas where you are required to screw the front panel on, this is the same case for the little bracket by where you add in expansion cards a little thicker metal in those areas would not cost much more to produce and so there is no real reason not to, giving the product more longevity. Other than that this case is great.
I guess i have used about 20 of these this year ,what can i say they are very good vale for money and quite well made ,easy to build with and lots of pretty RGB case fans included.
I was surprised that Msi was selling this for such a low price and I like the logo and power button and feels very good quality and good size. Plan to put b650 gaming x ax, Ryzen 5 7600 and 4070 ti super in here
The first thing that stood out to me was the space for your cables. I’m not going to pretend I tidy the cables round the back and I didn’t have to force the back panel back on. I know a lot of you know what I mean.
The case has lots of room on the inside and the case has a good quality feel about it. Not flimsy like many cases I’ve bought that are only a tenner less. The LED fans are pre installed on the ARGB controller. I have a fan controller but if you don’t make sure you have 3 fan header on your board. It’s only the RGB it controls. The colours are all strong and can be changed using the LED button in the top. I can’t use the software side of it but I like the choices you get.
Air flow is very good. Which is both good and bad. The front panel let’s lots of air though but there is no filter. I would have liked the option as it does come with a filter for the top of the case. Lots of dust will get in. But a bit more cleaning for good air flow is fine by me. It’s not, but I’ve got the case now.
There is a removable bay around the back of the case for an SSD or laptop HDD which is a nice touch. Meaning 3 SSDs and 2 HDD can be fitted in total. You can always put more in where there’s the previously mentioned spacious room in the back.
Overall very happy.
This case offers some nice to have features including anti-vibration material around the tempared glass windowed side panel. There is a magnetic dust filter on top which looks AMD feels like a good quality filter. It comes with 3 fans already installed. 2 fans are A-RGB and 1 non-RGB it’s a shame that 1 fan is non RGB but I understand it’s a budget case so can’t expect too much.
Case also comes with a 5v 3pin ARGB hub for connecting total 6 ARGB fans or ARGB strips. I have a Coolermaster SF360R ARGB fans and as it only occupy one ARGB header and works flawlessly with this case hub, I still have 3 ARGB headers available as I have ordered two ARGB strips and a ARGB fan to replace non-RGB fan at the back of the case.
Please note I have MSI x470 gaming plus max motherboard which is 12V RGB so I cannot connect my case ARGB lights to use Mystic lights by MSI but I knew that when I bought this case as I wanted Addressable RGB lights for future proofing. Please do not try to connect ARGB lights to RGB header. ARGB are 5V 3pin headers and RGB are 12V 4pin. Difference between ARGB and RGB is that ARGB will give you Rainbow/Aura lights and you can address each LED but on the other hand RGB only has 7 colours to choose from and the whole fan or strip will only show one colour at a time hence not as attractive as ARGB.
Air flow is quite good due to mesh front 3 included fans are quiet yet still manage to move substantial amount of air. Case can hold GPU up to 330mm, CPU cooler height max 165mm, PSU up to 160mm with 3.5 Hard Disk enclosure but if you don’t need Hard Drive caddy then PSU can be up to 200mm.
On front I have installed Coolermaster SF360R trio 120mm fans but I am sure 3 X 140mm fans would fit too. Also front IO panel has 1 ARGB control button (LED Switch), 2 X USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A connectors, 1 Mic in, 1 Headphone, 1 reset button and 1 power button.
Cable routing is easy due to several cut outs in different locations. Case looks stylish and quality is decent but don’t expect too much. I had high end cases before and I can tell you the material on high end cases is heavy and robust.
I am very happy with this caseand I will definitely recommend this case for mid range budget builds!
