    Good box

    Quite satisfied with this case, even though a lot of dust accumulates on the front of the case, even after washing.

    medium

    - very average build quality, even for plastic
    - not enough 5.25 3.5 2.5 slots for the size of the case
    - fan supplied in molex with no pwm management possible
    - price not in line with services provided

    A good limper

    A decent box for its price. Large cards such as the 3080/4080 fit inside without any problem. Beware, however, of the power connectors, which could be slightly crushed by the side glass when you close the case.

    Attention AIO

    Hello,

    Aesthetically pleasing case. But it's impossible to install a MSI MAG CORELIQUID C240 AIO on the front, because the Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR4 is a few millimetres too big.

    Almost perfect

    The transparent side is fun, but be careful, it's still a sheet of glass. When I first received it, one of the LEDs was hanging out of the case (the one that indicates that the PC is switched on), a spot of glue and it was fixed. However, the blue LED lights up far too brightly and is almost blinding if pointed at a face. I'm thinking of disconnecting it because it's so annoying.
    As for the rest, it's got plenty of space, plenty of fans and is good value for money.

    No room for power cables

    I had to cut the HDD bay with a metal pliers to get the power cables through. (less than 2cm between the power supply and the HDD bay) the rest of the case is ok

    Average quality

    Small problems during the assembly of the spacers that support the motherboard, the cable management complicated.

    But for the price it's still ok overall

    Thanks to LDLC Villeneuve d'ascq for the shop pick up

    Ouch

    I easily give good marks, but I can't on this product.
    I had a hard time assembling it because of the defects and screws.
    My motherboard fits on 5 screws instead of 9, the tips didn't fit, none. I had a problem with the screws, one of them was not aligned with the other.
    The power supply cage, I didn't understand what it was for except to piss me off. The filters are conceptual, a bit magnetic.
    To mount the video card, I had to break and bend the cover at the back, a screw was blocked.
    There are 2 hidden slots for SSDs and it's not bad. It makes up for it a bit. The disk tray is handy.
    And there's no dvd slot, but I should have looked into that...
    I had a hard time with the Zalman watercooling too, I had to screw the radiator in front of it, it's not supposed to be like that, but it worked. Otherwise, there are a lot of fans and they are quiet once the case is closed.
    I think I'm inoculated from Zalman for a while.

    Compact but ...

    It's not bad for the price, but don't expect to put a power supply worthy of the name, then say in the description that it can accommodate all configurations, not really.
    I was lucky to have an evga 725w compact, but it's still very small.
    not much room to pack the cables behind it either, so a bit tricky
