Solides Gehäuse
Das Gehäuse dient bei mir dazu ein kleineres Themaltake Core V1 zu ersetzen. Die Qualität ist im Wesentlichen in Ordnung. Die Ausnahme ist die RGB Beleuchtung. Diese funktioniert bei meinem Exemplar nicht (daher der Punkt Abzug). Die in anderen Rezensionen erwähnten Qualitätsprobleme kann ich allerdings nicht bestätigen. Das Gehäuse ist solide, lässt sich problemlos öffnen, die Schraubgewinde sind in Ordnung, die Bohrungen an der richtigen Stelle, abgesehen von den RGB-Problem sind alle anderen Kabel okay. An den Stellen wo Luft hineinkommt sind magnetische Staubfilter. Positiv ist dass man ein normales ATX-Netzteil verwenden kann und man hat einen Käfig mit vier Einschüben für 3.5'' Sata-Festplatten. Diese sollte man aber jeweils nur auf der Außenseite mit zwei Schrauben befestigen da man sonst bei einem Festplattenwechsel erst das Netzteil entfernen muss. Das Gehäuse ist ein Zwei-Kammer-System, unten ist Platz für die Festplatten, das Netzteil und die Kabel, oben dann das Mainboard, Grafikkarte und Lüfter. Die verbauten Lüfter sind 3-polig, erfüllen aber ihren Zweck. Da ich einen 200 mm und einen 120 mm Noctua-Lüfter zur Verfügung hatte habe ich die Lüfter aber getauscht. Ging problemlos. Die Hauptwärmequellen in meinem PC sind ein I5 11400 und eine Grafikkarte Zotac RTX-3070. Der Prozessor wird mit einem 92 mm Noctua gekühlt. Trotz der Glas-Seitenteile und der Staubfilter ist der Airflow zumindest bei den von mir verwendeten Komponenten meiner Meinung nach in Ordnung. Bei 21 Grad Raumtemperatur und 30 Minuten Volllast bei Prozessor und Grafikkarte erreichten beide eine Maximaltemperatur von 80 Grad mit den Originalllüftern und mit den Noctuas der Prozessor 79 Grad und die Zotac ebenfalls 80 Grad. Da das unter Arbeitszimmerbedingungen stattfand dürfte das unter Messunschärfe fallen. Auch die Geräuschentwicklung war nicht signifikant unterschiedlich. Beim "normalen" Gaming liegt die Prozessortemperatur normalerweise unter 60 Grad und die Karte unter 70 Grad und das System ist im Rahmen seiner Möglichkeiten (Zotac) leise.Fazit: solides, relativ schweres Gehäuse, man hat in der unteren Kammer viel Platz für die Kabel und wenn man in der oberen Kammer eine dezente RGB-Leiste verbaut sieht das Ganze sogar ziemlich wertig aus. Falls man Hochleistungskomponenten und/oder jede Menge RGB Lüfter verbauen möchte würde ich es nicht unbedingt empfehlen.

Better than I thought it would be
Case is steel rather than aluminium so it's solid, but a bit heavy, but it allows for magnetic filters at top, bottom and top. Has holes at the top to allow fans to be screwed on. Top can be rather tight though because of the filter, I just put it outside of the case instead.No manual in the box, but just went to their website and downloaded it. Not that I needed one.No problem with motherboard pins. The fact that you can open the sides and top and have total access to the motherboard is brilliant. Actually having the motherboard sit flat is great, less strain on graphics card and the fans point sideways. Logical heatwise as heat rises and blows from cpu fan up through vents.PSU mounted with bottom fan facing down through bottom of the case as it should do. Filter at bottom has cut out for feet on bottom of case. Loads of room at for power cables to go through to motherboard so no messy cables above to restrict airflow. One tip is to feed cables for audio, pwr and fans through the side openings before fixing motherboard in place.Hard drives, have m.2 drives so not really needed. SSD can mount 1 using screws lying down flat. Can stick others down with double sided tape if needed as lots of space at bottom of case. You can unscrew the HDD cage if you need more space.Fan's standard 3 pin fans included are ok but could be better soundwise, but not noticible expect at night time.The case has addressable RGB light strip at the front, has four pin ARBG connector if your motherboard supports. Also has a USB 3.2 header connector for front USB ports.Overall actually better than I thought it would be, I brought it mostly because it's short enough to fit under my desk would definitely recommend.

Shoddy build quality
Unlike the only other review I have seen for this case, mine did arrive intact; however, other than the case and some fixings, the box was empty, no instructions, not even a slip of paper telling you where a .pdf manual could be downloaded from, nor a guarantee card.Next up is the motherboard mounts - which are not correctly threaded; I managed to snap two screws trying to clean the threads out, as the screws supplied are also awful; I switched to some spare Phantek on.It is lucky I know what I am doing when it comes to bodging new spacers into a now open hole; in addition, I couldnt use all the posts, as they all didnt line up (2-3mm out)The 3 spare posts supplied, also have totally the wrong diameter thread to mount them, so are useless.PSU only mounts upside down (FFS WHY ??), and also stops you from securing your HDDs on both sides of the cage, as it butts up tight against it.The SSD mounts shown ? There are two more spacer type holes where those are shown in the diagram, meaning you COULD mount one SSD on its side, with the other side waving in the wind - no thanks!In addition, the positioning of the 3.5" bays mean your are fighting the front panel header cables, trying to fit any drives, as they are directly underneath, where the cables go through the tray.Roof mounted rads? Sort of, there arent many screw points and they dont seem to match my Corsair AIO except in one awkward position - which may block the GPU - if I ever get far enough along to try and fit it; the top mounting plate itself is very flimsy and mine has a noticeable warp to it.You will also need flush screws, as there is a magnetic dust filter that sits right on top.Talking of filters, there is one on the bottom with a weird 3/4 circle cut out of it on one side - no idea why.As for RGB, there is a cable with a 3 out of 4 pin header on it, not got a clue what it is supposed to connect to, as - no manual!All in all, if this were a £40 case, I might forgive some of the issues, but not all of them, and at the asking price, I can only suggest that this is a POC; I have been building PCs since Win95 was the bee's knees, and never encountered a case so shoddily made/designed.Feb 2023 Update, just over a month after finally getting around to building in this case, BOTH the front USB ports are broken. The pins are so thin, they have bent out of position.
