    Good box

    As someone who is looking for a simple case, I have nothing to say about it, except that if you put 3.5 discs in, the watter cooling must not be on the front, otherwise you won't be able to put any in.

    Quality in line with the price

    In absolute terms, it is a tower of perfectible quality: thin sheet metal, fragile paint, the screw threads are hard, LEDs of poor quality, finishes poor, etc. But for the price, you can't ask for better.
    But for the price you can't ask for more.
    For office use in my case, and that's more than enough.

    Very good product, provided it is only mounted once.

    The product is very good, but you don't have to change it all the time, because there is very little room to manipulate the interior.
    On the other hand, a positive point about the front and rear fans, because in the middle you put the cpu ventilation and next to it the hard disk which is cooled at the same time.
    Everything is silent.

    Not too bad

    Externally the case is very clean.
    The air vents are very practical, especially as you can attach fans if necessary.
    The real drawback is that the sheet metal that supports the motherboard is a bit too soft, I had to reinforce it slightly with bits of rubber so that I could finally have the rear connectors of the motherboard in the right places.
    But for the price, it's not bad.

    For information, I put in a MSI Z390 GAMING EDGE AC motherboard (ATX format) and it's really hard to get it in.
