I wouldn't recommend this case for the following reasons:
- the DVD drive doesn't fit all the way into the length of the case, so it stumbles over the 24-pin power connector on the motherboard
- it's not possible to screw in all the DVD screws because the iron plate isn't long enough
- the holes for the power cables are badly placed/too small
- the fan screws are screwed in crookedly
A cheap case, of course... but this... Screw holes in the back for the panels, the 2.5 disks fixed just opposite the sata sockets... impossible to plug everything in if you have 2 2.5 disks... I'm not even talking about the CD player, which is impossible to get all the way in because it butts up against the 24 pins on the motherboard... the holes for the cables are barely big enough and I haven't even tried to install a graphics card...
Maybe a good case for a micro atx but that's about it...
I am giving this rating because I am very satisfied with this product and with the competence and friendliness of the staff.
I found myself choosing this case on several criteria: external dimensions but CM ATX, front panel location, availability at LDLC... So of course I left out other things: quality, good design, number of SSD and HDD slots, cable management....
I'm not going to write a novel, I'm happy with it for what I do with it but quite disappointed with the quality (very fragile feet for example). I have been using Cooler Master cases for 10 years, nothing to see.
I strongly advise against it for a first assembly, the more experienced will choose like me at your own risk... :D
