Found this case by accident. The price was right and it has plenty of slots for expansion drives and ample space for any size motherboard. It is a cheaper example of the Corsair 200R – not quite as wide, but the same general layout for drives. Another difference is that the Corsair is all powder coated metal, this one is metal framed but plastic hardware for holding drives. Nevertheless, unless you are going to open her up and play under the hood more than a couple times a year, some of the plastic parts could break. Otherwise, this is a great basic case – not much for gaming as none of your gear is visible because it’s a solid case. For us, it works great and $43 was more than fair.

I looked for the cheapest ATX case I could find for my new build. I’ve never been one to care about external looks on a computer, but somehow I still got one that looks pretty nice.
The case is roomy and designed to use every millimeter of space, yet it is not hard to get around in. My build was an ASUS RoG Strix B450-F Gaming with 32 GB DDR4 and a Ryzen 5 2600x. Everything fit perfectly. I like the way the drive bays are designed so no screws are needed. One tip: if you have never assembled one with these type of bays, the SATA cables go behind the drive, not pointing toward you. Both sides come off easily so this is not difficult.
It’s just a little wider than a normal case, which works great for the Cooler Master 212 Evo. My last build used the same CPU fan and the case would not close. This one closes just fine.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this case to anyone who wants a good, cheap, ATX for a build.

I have just returned after a long term overseas contract and to save weight I left my Thermaltake Elements G case behind and just bought the mobo home to make a storage PC.
The case is so cheap I thought I had been sent a Chinese no-brand case. Flimsy metal, cheap plastic HDD trays when we should be moving away from such materials, once you remove the rear close-outs and the 5.25 optical bay closures – you will never get them to fit back in as the tin foil metal bends irreparably. Also the numerous sharp edges from breaking out said closures cut your hand with annoying regularity.
God how I wish I had bought mt Elements G case home – it was everything that this one is not. Buy a different brand as Thermaltake are no longer a quality manufacturer. If I could give this 0 stars, I would.

As advertised, this is a basic case that holds full-size ATX boards. There’s enough holes in this case that ventilation shouldn’t be a problem – the front cover and rear expansion card covers all look like swiss-cheese. Two fan outlets at the top and front along with the included rear fan should easily cool any components in the case.
The removable mesh filters on the front and bottom helps reduce dust moving through the case – the latter especially helpful since the power supply is bottom-mounted. The two front audio jacks and USB ports provide basic accessibility, but it would have been nice if they doubled the USB ports considering there’s plenty of room for it.
Inside, there are 3x 5.25″ (DVD drives), 3x 3.5″ (hard drives), and 3x 2.5″ (SSD’s) drive bays. Lengthwise, with a full-sized RX580 video card installed, there’s a solid 3/4″ of clearance from the drive bays. The side door’s outward bulge provides just enough clearance for a tall fan like the Cooler Master Hyper 212.
Unfortunately, out of the box, there was a broken piece from the plastic front cover. For a cover that’s designed to be removed, it won’t last more than a handful of filter cleanings. Some people will be on the fence with the thin sheet-metal construction – it’s lightweight yet rigid which is good for my needs, but I’ve had friends comment on how this feels “cheap.”
There’s a lot to like about this case, but the price is borderline with higher quality cases with more features. If this case were priced in the $35-40 range, it would be a no-brainer buy. Otherwise, I would research other choices that provide better value before considering this one.

I was pretty happy with this case overall. It was a bit of a tight fit stepping down from a full tower Lian Li case that I was previously using but managed to get all the components to fit after a bit of trial and error. A couple of things to note. The drive bays are a little strange but actually kind of cool once you get used to them.
The drives will “snap” into the carriers, thing is you actually put them in so the sata connectors are towards the back of the case. If you put them in toward the front the cables won’t fit properly under the side cover as there is very little space there once that cover is on. However it is easy enough to just feed them through the case to the back and you’ve got a lot more room to work with. Makes for good cable management I guess but it was a bit unexpected so I was scratching my head for a minute or two.
This will mount 2 120mm fans up front, on in the rear and two up top of standard size which is a lot of airflow. My setup is a bit different, my CPU uses a water cooling rig with a single 120mm radiator so I mounted that out the back, relocated the 120 mm fan that was there to the top (only room for one in this case, you can’t really mount the second fan as the radiator is just a touch too big to allow the fan to go in up top, then I mounted two 120mm fans up front. Works very well, keeps the system quite cool and I’m very happy with thermal management.
Hard drive bays are nice, you’ve got room for 3 x 5.25 and the covers for those slots can be removed and then replaced if you decide to change your setup which is very nice, they just snap in. Internally you have 3 2.5 bays which work great for SSD drives and 3 3.5 inch bays that I used for some 8tb sata drives for a good amount of storage.
I did add a fan controller, having all those fans running full blast was a bit noisy and I liked being able to turn them down a bit to quiet the system a tad. But all in all it’s a good little case, I liked it because it is just low key and doesn’t have all that silly acrylic side panel look at all the LED lights like a lot of other mid tower cases have. I know people love those for gaming rigs but I’m building a computer, not a landing strip for aircraft.. lol.
I would purchase this again, for the money it’s pretty hard to beat for mid tower cases. I did give it 4 out of 5 stars due to the lack of well written documentation, getting this together was more trial and error than anything else, and the location of the 120mm fan exhaust port on the rear, if they had just moved that down a centimeter or two I would have had room for another fan. I don’t need it for cooling you understand up top but it’s an OCD thing, I’ve got one slot with a fan and one without which just looks a little off. But other than that, great case.

This is a good case, sturdy enough for the price point, and with space for a lot of drives; however, it loses a star from me because the drive enclosures are not removable at all without a drill; they were assembled together with screws which then had the heads cut off, which combines the worst aspect of screws and rivets, being unremovable with a screw driver but also difficult to drill out. This is fine if you happen to need only 3 3.5″ and 3 2.5″ and 3 5.25″ drives, but not so great if you need more space for 3.5″ drives, which was my situation.
There are adapters to convert the 3 5.25″ drive area into space for 5 3.5″ slots available from various vendors, but I ran into trouble because there ended up being too little clearance between them and the power rail on my full ATX motherboard. I ended up buying an inexpensive server rack on newegg for $200, much higher than the price point of this case.
Those complaints aside, it works well for what it is, has good airflow and is sturdy enough to not warp if you have to transport it after it’s filled.

Very good case, one of the few I could find which had space for two front mounted 120mm fans with a bottom mount power supply design. I wanted two intake fans to help ensure there is plenty of airflow since my CPU is liquid cooled, and this case makes that not just possible, but downright convenient. The cable management area is great because it gives you plenty of options for where you want a cable to enter or exit, and nothing is arranged awkwardly or blocking the airflow with my setup as a result.

I upgraded my main computer for a brand new one and I re-used the cabinet for this new computer. Since the old I7 is still in perfect running condition, I needed a new cabinet for my old computer.
This cabinet is perfect for my needs. It has 3 5.25 inch expansion bay for cdrom or tape drive, 3 slots for 3.5 inch disks and 3 slots for 2.5 inch disk. It come with a fan in the back and has the holes for installing a cooling system on top ot the cabinet. A fan can be also installed in front of the cabinet for cooling disks.
Disks can be installed on a tray that can be easily removed.
I also like the fact that you can pass all the cabling in the back of the cabinet.
Overall, this is a great cabinet for the price.
