        Not so big after all, but the quality is there and the design is a success

        Superb! First impressions: it's heavy, solid, well thought-out, all the screws can be removed by hand, and there's a handy rear frame for routing the power supply. There are dust filters everywhere (sliding underneath and magnetic on top) and another good point: 3 large 140mm fans that can be fixed in several places. That's a nice touch!

        I installed an ATX Asus TUF Gaming B650+. This ATX format fits and as the case is wide, the graphics card (4060) and the processor fan fit in easily. However, there's not that much space left and I had to remove all the removable parts to fit my Seasonic Connect 750 Gold power supply (100% modular) because of its remote connector bar. It's a bit tricky to fit, but hey... this case is pretty compact and I'm happy with it.

        One last word on the glass and LEDs, because that's why we chose it. The glass is thick and there's a button on the front that lets you choose between several colour modes for the RGB strip: monochrome that scrolls from top to bottom (all the shades are selectable) or multicolour. I'm not usually a fan of 'matte my beautiful leds everywhere' type boxes, but I have to admit that this is quite successful, as the light from the strip illuminates the interior and you can see the reflections through the glass. You can also simply turn it off.

        In short, I'm very happy with the result once it's fitted.

        Not practical

        Once assembled, the box looks good, but it's quite a pain to assemble.
        There's not much space for cables. The 2 slots for sata disks each require a power cable, as you have to use the bent end of the cable.
        Only 2 2.5-inch disk slots.

        Finally, it's not easy to move around.

        As far as LDLC is concerned, nothing to say impeccable.

        Compliant, well finished.

        A very good case, beautifully finished, well thought out for assembly.
        Nothing is missing, including the various screws, the dust filter associated with the case, and the fans.
        The fans are very efficient and above all very quiet.
        Accepts ATX motherboards, CPU cooler 165mn high, graphics card + 330mn, which means you can upgrade your PC without changing the case.

        Just excellent

        I have just received the package (impeccable delivery as usual with LDLC) and I am very pleasantly surprised.

        The quality of the case is just incredible. I've just received the package and I'm really surprised by the quality of the case. It's really heavy, steel all around, soundproofing on the back plate, cleverly placed cable covers, the case is really top notch for a perfect cable management.

        My list of criteria was long and this case ticked all the boxes and more.

        Easy to assemble

        This case is nice and the LED possibilities are very varied. The ARGB sync with my Asus B550M-Plus motherboard works well. A nice surprise is that there are not only LEDs on the front panel, but also inside the case, which is quite light and the design is really well thought out. Compared to my old Antec cases (P180mini, P180), the assembly of the components is much easier and the result is really airy and clean. the difference is amazing.I chose this case for its size: wide (able to support a 19cm high fan, that's rare), not very high for an ATX format and not too long either.The 3 fans provided are not bad but not inaudible either.small defect: the dismantling of the front panel is hot all the same, even by pulling very hard it does not come, I was afraid to break it. You have to help by pushing on the plastic lugs from the inside. I greased it afterwards, it's a bit better. It should come together with time.

        INCREDIBLE

        Incredible box, LEDs powerful enough to light up even during the day. Sent and received smoothly without breakage (despite FedEx). The AirFlow is perfect. The colour modes are great and there is always a constant and a flashing one as well as a multicolour one. I highly recommend it!

        Very nice case

        I am very happy with the case. Even my wife who is not a gamer was charmed and won over by its design.
        The case is very quiet after a week of intense use for gaming, the case remains very quiet

        Good quality and practical case

        This case is quite easy to use, with a good airflow, RGB present but not too much, and supplied with 3 140mm fans, what more could you ask for?

        Excellent case

        Good quality, well finished, nice looking and with plenty of expansion possibilities.
        The PC is very easy to assemble and cools really well in use.
        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the service. I'm very happy with the quality of the product and would recommend it to others.
        Very happy, I recommend it.
        I'm very happy with it, I recommend it, but be careful to use a motherboard with a USB 3.1 connector for the front USB C connector.

        RGB

        I ordered a month ago a nice configuration with this box.
        I would like to thank the LDLC team and their reactivity for this nice configuration.

        The only negative point of this box is that the RGB is limited in colour level of the box I find it a pity because before choosing this box I had looked on the internet and indeed there is a lot of choice of colour, but I think my box was poorly configured, but if not I happy with my purchase and my new configuration.
        LDLC is top notch! as always!

        Bluffing !!!!

        So I switched from a zalman z11 plus to the be quiet! Pure Base 500DX and I can really say that the change is really impressive!
        First of all, the 500 DX is very sober and elegant! Then for what is the interior this case is really well thought ! Indeed everything is thought to optimize the various storage and make a clean cable management! (I am far from being an expert in this field and it is clean). Once the assembly is finished nothing protrudes and it's only happiness.
        I'm not sure what to say about the noise of the machine, except that I can't hear the PC when I'm using it in normal mode and under load! Nothing to do with the Z11. I have completed the spaces of the fan with other silent wing 2 and really the air flow is really top and especially SILENT!
        So you understand I do not regret my purchase!
        LdLc still nothing to say about your work!

        Super

        Great box, fast and neat delivery. Bought this to replace a case where the airflow was not great, really surprised by the efficiency of this one. The fans are really quiet, and when mounted with a power supply and a fan unit of the same brand, I can't even hear the PC running.
        Thank you LDLC and BE QUIET!

        Very good product

        My usual practice is to use cases in a lower price range, but for my last PC, Madame had insisted on something more aesthetically pleasing. So I decided to spend £70 more than I expected on the case. Well let me tell you, I have no regrets and I never imagined such a difference in quality compared to the lower end cases!

        The case is very well thought out, cable management is a pleasure - there has clearly been a lot of good design work done to make assembly easy and intuitive. And it looks good too. I'll never buy a cheap case again.

        rhâaa Lovely

        Really a nice product, quiet.
        I was so surprised by the quality of the product when I put my son's PC together that I bought another one to put my old one in!
