Very good product and advice from the sales staff at the Trignac shop following some problems with my PC! I highly recommend this shop, the team is very professional and serious when it comes to working on computers.
Thanks again
Classic mid-tower case.
Very practical for mounting all the components.
Perhaps lacks a USB-C socket on the front.
Practical management cable, Bequiet velcro cable clamp supplied.
2 Bequiet fans are already fitted and their speed is adjustable on the front panel.
The case is extremely easy to assemble and the PC runs perfectly, however I had a problem with sound resonance.
After inspection it turned out that my fans make noise when they are running, and this noise is amplified to the point of being very loud because of the glass panel which does not absorb or dissipate the sound at all.
I personally reversed the glass and non-glass panels (which has a noise dampening foam) and this drastically reduced the noise to a very quiet level but at the cost of aesthetics.
At this price the resonance problems of the materials should not even be an issue. This is very disappointing for such a well made and practical tower.
For this price, go to the next page!
I can't compare with other cameras (it's my first one), but here is my feedback:
The pluses :
+ A classic case that does its job well
+ Side window to see your nice components.
+ Practical to open to access the components.
+ Correct price
+ There is enough room for the components of an average configuration
Minus :
- Nothing to report
Be careful to take into account the size, it is still quite large!
After reading comments that the top watercooling does not work, my verdict: supports a X470 Gaming plus motherboard with an AIO Artic freezer II 240 watercooling, top fan / top.
The case is very well designed, the instructions are complete and the installation easy.
And it's so quiet!
I recommend it.
