- Decent, stylish and TIGHT - Nick, 20 March 2025
My last PC was a rather large case (https://cougargaming.com/products/cases/panzerevo_rgb/) which is still a great looking case, but its very heavy and bulky.
This case is much lighter and still has the glass panels to give you a good unobstructed side view of your components. The case is sturdy considering its as light as it is. The metal sheets are thin but strong and don't bend.
Note: the tempered glass panels are pretty thin, so wont need much to break unless handled carefully, when transporting your case, make sure you have it in the foam padding and box it came in.
It has all that a modern build needs and comes with the A/DRGB fans which are pretty nice, though I can't get them to work well with Gigabyte software. In this case (literally) there are not many presets or options to set the LEDs vs the cases own settings. I am also sure I may have messed up my connections because my case does not allow me to change my presets or switch the RGB off, it must be done from the software in windows.
Other issues are;
- PSU space is limited but the PSU fits and cables fit, barely but they do;
- The other issue is behind where the cable management is done, space is tight and I am pretty good at getting my cables in, suffice to say, its doable, but you are going to have to break out your tetris skills to get the cables to fit nicely and close the back panel.
- Another concern to me is that I would have liked to have seen more rubber grommets or the like covering the cable holes. Its nice and has nice finish to it. There is nothing like that on this case.
- Adding to above point, the holes for the cables to go through are small and even getting the 8pin VGA connectors through was a mission, lets alone 3 of them...
I paired this with Phanteks Glacier One 360 cooler that fits the case aesthetic and works rather well. While its a solid case, quiet, unless fans ramp up high and causes the table to vibrate slightly 0.o, its still fairly cool and efficient.
Overall its smaller than my old ancient Coolermaster Half X, at least front to back and so I have a good looking rig that fits a ATX board easily but doesn't take up a huge chunk of space.
The price is a bit steep and you could get away cheaper with other options, but its still a decent case, solid in all respects.
