The case corresponds perfectly to my expectations, simple and solid which offers a support for SSD easy to use. The case is simple and solid and offers an easy to use SSD holder. Be careful with the metal parts, some of them are extremely sharp, so don't hurt yourself when assembling.
The HDD receptacle is perpendicular to the tower, impossible to screw without dismantling the front panel... What's the point, I could only put one screw per HDD...
As for the rest, it's classic, except for the motherboard which installs well but go figure, you need 9 ready-to-screw studs but 2 are a little bit different without it being justified during the installation... or at least, I didn't understand the interest... It's a pity that a front panel is not transparent, it reassures me to see the fans turning...
Medium tower entry-level case, quite correct. Aesthetically, the front panel is nice, the rest is a bit "dull" due to the slightly grainy matte paint. The metal sheets are thin but well adjusted and above all not sharp, my fingers say thank you. And that makes it quite light.
As far as cable management is concerned, there are many passages between the motherboard side and the disk side, it's practical.
Advice for mounting the motherboard: dismantle the upper part of the case (several screws) to access the connections because the MC is stuck against it.
I agree with the general opinion. Top notch case!
You can remove the 5'1/4 and 3'1/2 bays if you don't need them. It's amazing!
The storage of the 2'1/2 SDDs is very clever.
The only fan supplied is a little light but you can add a lot more. I put two 14cm fans on the front, put my 240cm radiator under the top. And there's plenty of room inside.
Excellent product received very quickly. Very easy to dismantle to install all components.
