This box is just right for me! With its very attractive price it does its job very well. Indeed, the glass and plastic and the grids are simply magnetized and you leave very easily. Afterwards, there is no problem with the assembly. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to use it!
A nice box for any configuration. But something not mentioned even if it's easy to see: there is no DVD player, modern times ;) Apart from this "problem" nothing to say, everything is OK. The acrylic panel unscrews and the one on the other side slides out. Space for the power supply and several HDDs.
It remains to be seen if the grid on the cover is effective or if it is a dangerous subterfuge for our components in case of spilled liquid
I took this tower to give a second life to my old config (asus sabertooth z77 with corsait H110 cooling). I already had to remove the fan at the back otherwise the motherboard wouldn't fit, not to mention the fact that you need a small screwdriver if you hope to tighten the screws at the top of the cm. I had chosen this tower for its possibility of mounting a 240mm radiator, what a rip-off... at the top of the front it doesn't fit because of the cables of the tower connectors and at the bottom because of the cage of the lower part. I won't talk about the almost impossible management cable and the cheapness of the tower... well, run away while you can.
The case was well received, checked in appearance with the shop to see if it was not damaged and no traces of the outside. But once I got home and opened the case I realised that it was bent at the fan supports and at the back... The quality control is obviously not done... so I don't recommend it at all, it's better to take another product.
I like the fact that it is simple and pretty. It comes with a fan on the back which is a good plus.
I don't like: the grill on top that will make you not want to spill a glass, and a little bit awkward to place the motherboard on it because of the model. It's a little bit tight but it's ok (just after buying it you're afraid of your actions)
conclusion: good case with a nice ventilation system, it's nice and efficient regarding the number of fans to put inside, what more could you ask for!
I bought this for my first gamer pc, I'm not disappointed, it's a great case and efficient, I inserted 3 fans in the front of the case and the ATX motherboard fits perfectly without any problem. I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but it's a good one, and I'm not sure if it's a good one.
Very nice but one thing to know !
Very nice case, but an important detail is not mentioned in its description ! The front panel does not open. Something I expected because otherwise how do you put the CDs in the player ? Well, that's the problem with its 3/5 rating.
It's impossible to put a CD player in, well I personally had to put in a CD 3-4 times in 2 years in my other tower (CM and CG drivers and 1 or 2 games).
So -2 because it is not mentioned in the product description. ( IF I had known, I would not have bought it).
Good:
-Nice and well finished case (sober and classy)
-dust filters
-management cable well done (all cables go behind)
-drawers in the HDD racks designed to avoid having to measure screws.
Not good:
-Impossible to fit a CD player
