Excellent housing

Classic but effective enclosure. A good balance between size (outside) and space (inside). Good to know: install your disks in the bays provided for this purpose at the bottom of the case *before* installing the power supply, otherwise the installation of the disks may be complicated...

Not impressed.

Marketed as compatible with 240 radiators... Yes, but...! The mounting point is at the front but you lose the 3.5" cage at the top. And if you mount the pipes at the bottom (as it should be), you also lose the 2 disc cage from below. Well done engineers!

        Good little case

        Bought to mount a light and not cumbersome configuration, it does the job well.
        The motherboard just fits, but fits perfectly. It is possible to mount a CG long enough.
        The whole thing remains light.

        A tower to gather them all, and in the darkness bind them

        Farewell to glass openings and other lights that are anything but subdued... here is a well-made model that takes up very little space and can be forgotten under the office furniture.
        Hello, happy sobriety! The internal layout is optimised to accommodate most mini or micro-ATX format configurations: if the motherboard is compatible with this case, it is likely that the other components are too - unless you have specific or very demanding needs.
        This tower can accommodate both a ready-to-use watercooling kit (with a 120 or 240mm radiator) and a high-end graphics card (250 to 300mm wide, or even a little more), without hindering access to the hard disk bay or the drive slot!

        Good but not quiet

        Nice case, rather practical and spacious.
        On the other hand the fans are quite noisy. I had to change the front one from the start because it was so annoying. It's probably a defect, but it's disappointing on a new one...

        very good

        Very good box for a price and a contained size. Quiet and efficient, I recommend it for medium configurations.

        Not bulky and plenty of room inside

        I needed to fit 3 conventional drives, an SSD, a DVD writer, plus a motherboard and a large graphics card and power supply. I'm surprised that despite the many air vents, the whole thing remains silent.

        Excellent value for money

        Very good value for money for this case.
        2 fans with dust filter integrated as standard. You can hardly hear them spinning.
        3 usb ports on the front, including 1 usb 3.0
        Simple and sober design, perfect for a small PC that wants to be discreet.
        It's a good idea to have a small PC with a small footprint, but it's not a good idea to have a big one. At this price it was a surprise.
        The only drawback is that the cable management at the back of the CM is not easy, there is very little space between the back plate and the case wall. But then again, at this price, you can't have everything.

        Top

        Not bad at all, the bar on the front is perfect for putting the stickers that come with CPU, RAM and so on.

        3 USB on the front, 1 3.0 is not bad. Dust filters, 2 fans, rubber anti-vibration mount for hard drive... Not bad at all for this price.

        The only downside is the installation of 3.5" hard drives, which is a bit more difficult than the average box.

        Tip top.

        good value for money

        Robust, sober and well finished case, good value for money. But it's quite bulky for my use and the ventilation is not really discreet. I have a 10 year old Compaq that makes less noise. At least it's efficient.

        Nice and not too bulky

        The case is sober and well finished, without frills, you get what you pay for. The space inside allows many things (auxiliary server/test machine in my case) and I am happy with my purchase. For a simple machine that doesn't require a lot of functionality, this is a good choice in my opinion.

        Nice box, complex wiring

        For the price: a high quality enclosure, with careful finishing, and a look that is truly superior to the competition in this range.
        The interior layout is cleverly designed to save a maximum amount of space and to promote quality airflow.

        For the cable management: the rear panel is flat on the sides and very slightly curved in the middle, the space behind the motherboard panel is very narrow.
        The result: impossible for cables to overlap, it is essential to take care of the passages behind.
        As far as the power supply cable (the big one) is concerned, I tried to make it look like on the pictures, but it was impossible to close the back panel by passing it behind... But I found an elegant solution: pass the cable inside, at the bottom behind the HDD rack, then run it up along the front panel to the top (behind the DVD rack), then run it back to the motherboard. The cable becomes invisible and does not block the rear panel or the incoming airflow!

        In short, a really nice mATX case but it forces you to think about how to do clean cabling.

        Good little box

        It is beautiful and not very high, it fits under the drawers of my desk. Inside it is spacious. There is room for 2 hard drives and 2 SSDs, the fans provided are quiet. The 3.5" and 5.25" spaces for the HDDs and the DVD writer are screwless, except that the bag supplied with the case only contains screws! The result is that the HDDs "float" a bit in their slots. It's not serious, the computer is not mobile. A half star less for this fixing problem.

        Perfect!

        For my first PC assembly I chose this tower and I am very satisfied. Well designed for an easy assembly for a very competitive price! I will keep this item for my next assembly.

        Very good but...

        Great case as practical as it is elegant but it gets fingerprints easily, the screws of the supplied fans lose their paint easily and the front panel is a bit difficult to remove

        Otherwise, I didn't expect the case to be delivered with its original box but nothing bad because it was almost intact

        Perfect

        No bad surprises!
        The case is beautiful, practical and inexpensive.
        The only small problem would be the manual... and that the adjustment of the fans is not possible (but they do not make any noise)

        You can buy with your eyes closed

        Game server enclosure

        I bought this box for a small home game server, the slots are fine except for the HDD cage which is not practical.

        I mounted an i7-4790 @ 4Ghz with a Cooler Master TX3 EVO with two fans, I doubt the efficiency of the second one!

        The fans delivered with the case are noisy

        Excellent!

        I was not expecting such a clean and detailed tower at all, frankly TOP for the price nothing to say! Lots of room for a configuration and with the supplied 120mm fans (x2) they do their job very well!

        NAS enclosure

        I took this box to create a NAS with a CM ASROCK-J3710 ITX.

        Works perfectly.

        2 disk slots, possibility to put ventilation everywhere!

        Very easy to open and close the cover (no messy zipper...)

        I recommend it!

        Good housing for the price

        Config : i3-6100 / MSI GTX 960 GAMING 2G / Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H / 2x4 Go Kingston HyperX FURY Black DDR4-2400Mhz / Crucial MX300 525 Go / LDLC QS-450+
        For a first assembly, it was quite simple. A few hesitations for the SSD and the motherboard, but everything went in correctly! The installation guide is very clear, the tower seems to be well built, the fans are quiet enough for my taste. No problems with the cable management. A very good buy for the price!

        Excellent case

        Small, simple and well finished case.
        Two fans provided which make no noise when adjusted, excellent temperatures throughout the case.
        Opening on the back of the motherboard, cable management, room for a graphics card (even a long one).
        At this price, it's a no-brainer.

        Always satisfied

        Second time that I mount a pc in this model of case. I confirm my satisfaction. Despite the high price, the case is well designed and well finished, very airy. The case comes with 2 effectively silent 120mm fans, 2 SATA cables and a very complete screw kit. Justifies its 5 stars.
        Fast LDLC delivery as usual.

        Very satisfied

        Not much to say, the finishing is good, the installation is practical without being ultra practical either, but the boiter is really cheap. The size is reduced compared to a normal tower without being miniature either.

        One flaw: there are two fans included in the tower, a cooler master and an unbranded one, and the latter makes a lot of noise. I had to unplug it. This is not very important, the tower is sufficiently cooled. It's a shame though.

        Good value for money

        Overall the box is pretty good quality for the price. I was able to mount my micro-ATX configuration in it without any problem. After mounting the PC and using it for 3 weeks I can't find anything to complain about.

        Very good little box

        Small but rather large case. Finally a practical case for mounting. Possibility to fill the case (dvd player, memory card reader, SSD, HDD, 970 GTX, etc) and keep the cabling clean.

        Very good

        I was looking for a case that was not too bulky to replace an old barebone where all the parts had been replaced over the years.
        I needed a compact case with front panel sockets and good ventilation.
        And ESPECIALLY with an accessible 5.25 slot. Some manufacturers seem to assume that everyone has a fast internet connection, which is far from the case.
        I'm going to replace the original fans with proper pwm models as the original ones are still a bit noisy.

        excellent box

        you have a small budget for the micro atx, don't hesitate! A rectangular block as we like them. It's a great tool to use with your computer, and it's a great tool to use with your computer. It's a great tool to use with your computer. Perfect! The fans provided are a plus and don't make any noise.

        The Grall of compact housings for assemblers

        Since July 2014, I'm on my 28th PC based on the N200: very functional, it had from the beginning advantages rare at the time in the range of best value for money: USB 3.0 in front and slots for SSD, possibility to place a "peachy" graphics card ..... Sides widely curved to place the cables properly. Nice, sober, efficient and metal design: better impression for the customers than a plastic case with a lot of covers, doors or flaps that get scratched or broken after three months... The designers also understood that only one slot for an optical drive/writer is needed now: so one open bay for a writer and one open bay for the SD card reader
        Finally for the fans of fans and water-cooling, everything is provided!
        The interior is really well finished, manufactured: no sharp edges, and painted cleanly and completely black: look for a model with a plexi side to showcase a compact gamer setup
        10/10.

        Sublime!

        What I like about it:This case is just beautiful! The black colour looks great,the dust filters are just a killer no dust in the case and the basic fans do their job well.the space it offers inside is enough for any configuration.all in all,this case is just superb :)

        What I didn't like: Lack of space for the management cable but other than that nothing serious :)
