    Built a new PC for my in-laws who are on a fixed income. I wanted to keep the price as low as possible so I purchased a really cheap case from Rosewill for 26 bucks. That was a disaster. I decided I would foot the bill for a little nicer case since I am the one building in it. Found this case for $55, looked at reviews and pics, and decided to buy it. I'm so glad I did. The case quality is fantastic! I love the swinging tempered glass side panel. It has a magnetic latch so it easily opens and closes. There was plenty of space to build in and I had no trouble with cable management. All of the motherboard risers were sturdy and none were bent out of shape like some other cheap cases.I really enjoyed building in this case and the WOW factor I got when I presented the new PC to my in-laws was great.You should note that the blue LED light on the top of the case is very bright if you plan on sitting this case next to you in a lower position (like on the floor). Also, there are no fans included and I am not sure how well the cooling works as your front fans only have the one grouping of holes on the right side (seen in the pictures) to pull air in from. However, I have seen plenty of more expensive cases doing the same thing (NZXT for example). I should mention that the build I made had only one fan besides the CPU cooler fan but the PC I built was not a gaming rig and in fact only used the GPU built into the Ryzen 2200G. The users of this PC will not be putting a heavy load on it so I felt confident that I would not need much airflow. That said, there is plenty of space for fans, but you should note that the front case fans get mounted directly to a fan mount bracket which can be a little annoying. You can see the bracket in the pictures provided by Amazon.Pros:Looks greatSwinging magnetic tempered glass side panelEasy to build infully covered PSU shroudCons:No fans includedFront fan mounting is a little bit of a pain but since I wasn't using any, this was not an issue for me.

    This case is insanely awesome. I know that's vague but it just is in every way, insanely awesome. That's the TL;DR.The attention to detail on this case is seriously hardcore. I went from some cheap $20 trash case on my first build in 2016 and this year I decided to make some changes and get some higher quality components. I was debating getting some cases that were over $100 but ultimately decided to go with this. I definitely do not regret my decision with this case. I thought I would be saving some money and getting a mediocre case so I could afford other component upgrades... NO. That's not what this is. This is a premium luxury case, almost entirely made of metal, that must be accidentally priced at $50 or something? I didn't do much research on this case but when it arrived I was surprised by a mass of features and qualities that I did not know would be there.In the product pictures, the polygonal design on the front looks like a sticker but it's actually part of the metal casing which gives the case a much more premium feel and aesthetic. I was surprised by not only that but also how the glass door works. I guess I just didn't read anything about this case because I thought it was just like any cheap case. But it's not. The glass door has a nice smooth hinge and snaps shut nicely with a strong magnet and you can take it off if you want. The glass has plastic covering it. I took mine off on the interior so it doesn't melt in there but left the exterior plastic cover on the glass in order to preserve it a bit.I did not know this case had dust filters! which are really nice and not something my $20 case had. Also, the cable management panel is brilliantly designed and has plenty of room. Cable management is a dream in this case. I really like that you can hide the power supply and all it's cables too. As someone who has a non-modular PSU, this is super tidy and convenient. I will be getting a modular PSU in the mail soon though because Newegg had a good deal I couldn't pass up, but still I appreciate that I don't have to look at the PSU at all because that is obviously the ugliest component in any PC. I appreciate the feet on the bottom of the case, giving a bit of a lift for airflow. I like the ports on top of my PC so I can see where I'm plugging in from above so that's nice too. The 2 drive bays will come in handy and the fan screw holes will be nice when I decide to order those. Two of nephews also bought the exact same case and color for their new builds. With Ryzen 3000 it seems like everyone is building new PCs because of all the discounts on everything. My nephews love RGB so of course, they had to outfit theirs with a ton of RGB fans. The 2nd pic is of my nephews PC setup. He loves it. We all love this case and can't stop talking about it and how great it looks. Super fun and great value.
