The tower does its job, especially for the price.
The USB and jack sockets seem a bit hard, perhaps because they're new.
But then I get the impression that the 'front' 'bends' a bit under pressure.
Apart from that. I'm happy with my purchase.
Quite an original tower. compact, but can hold a full ATX without a problem. beware of the length of the graphics card, which could touch the power supply on the front panel (the power supply is not fitted at the back, but at the very front).
the screws are of average quality, so make sure you have some spare ones; there are boxes of PC case screws available for a few euros.
the magnetic filters are great though (for the top and front). currently contains a 5600x and a 4060.
the fan holes on the edges (top, bottom and front) are smaller than those right in the middle of the "grille"; you'll need to leave a bit of margin to screw in the fans (you need to be in the middle of the grille more than on the sides).
For this price, it's interesting for a small configuration. However, the space inside is very limited so you quickly end up having trouble fitting everything in (ATX configuration for me) but for a mini ATX I think it's perfect.
It's not yet assembled, but it exudes quality. However, you'll have to rethink your usual arrangement of the components (the power supply isn't at the back (I'm going to use it lying down), for example!
But it's exactly what I was looking for, without compromising on the size of the components (I've just ordered a 33 cm long CG...??). And yet the box will fit into my TV cabinet (I'm going to make discreet holes behind it for air circulation).
We're good! Well done Cooler Master! ????
A very compact case that accepts the ATX CM without being cramped is great, plus it's good quality and everything is easy to install and connect. If you're looking for a good box that's not too expensive, this is the one for you. The only drawback is that the power supply is installed behind the front panel and the switch is not accessible.
