    Good product but

    I've been using it for a while now and it's a good product. The only drawback is that it is indicated that it is upgradeable except that when I installed a water cooling system I had to remove the HDD racks because the screw holes did not match because of the disk storage...
    I have to say that I'm very happy with this product.

    Good quality

    This box is probably one of the best boxes we can have for this price, I strongly recommend it, I am a little disappointed to have had to return it because of a very simple problem, the watercooling that I took in kit (corsair h100i platinum se) simply does not fit in it, I advise despite everything this box but if you want to switch to watercooling it will be necessary to take a smaller

    OPINION

    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a new one, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a new one, so I'm not sure if it's a good one.
    I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but I'm sure it's a good one.

    top box

    I'm very happy with the way it looks and the way it works. The only drawback is that the fan is of low quality so it's quite noisy, but it's good for the time the others arrive!

    The only criticism is that the fan cable provided is a little short and doesn't reach the pin on the motherboard at the other end of the case.

    Excellent

    This product is excellent and does what it is supposed to do, easy to use with enough fan slots and in my opinion a splendid design, one may regret the fact that there is only one fan supplied which does not seem to be of an extreme quality.

    Under test

    I received the box yesterday, I finished mounting my configuration inside. I'm testing the temperature and will comment later. It's a great product, nice finish and most importantly, no screws are missing! I recommend it for a clean assembly. The rear opening makes it easy to arrange the cables.

    No spacer

    Delivered with a pierced bag so no more spacer, the box is not expensive and that is understandable, nice respect for the customer.

    Sober and uncluttered

    The case is beautiful and simple yet solid and reliable, and the red fan supplied is quite sexy.

    A little wonder!

    A cheap case ! aesthetic ! easy to organize !
    light, in the air of time and not too flashy while being in the gaming line ... frankly, what more could you ask for!

    no problem with cutting sheet metal like on some coolermaster
    it's really nice and functional ! you can go for it !

    and if my comment was useful to you, don't hesitate to mention it, it's always a pleasure ! ;D
