EVGA DG-77 Matte Black Mid-Tower, 3 Sides of Tempered Glass, Vertical GPU Mount, RGB LED and Control Board, K-Boost, Gaming Case

My first thoughts upon receiving it was its quite a sturdy case. It does feel a lot better then some other budget cases (like Corsair Carbide budget cases).Airflow isn't bad if you are smart enough to use your head. It came with a lot of motherboard spacers/stands. I realized they were the same threading as the screws in the front panel and just put the spacers first then the acrylic panel and then the panel screws. You get about an extra half inch clearance of air gap. Put three cheap RGB fans behind the front panel and you have a very classy case. I picked mines up during a sale for $34.99 so it was really great for the money. Definitely an underappreciated case because of its front panel lack of initial cooling. But it really isnt that hard to solve it initial problems and if you are okay with half windows on the side panels, this one is your case. My decal was separate in the box so i opted to not put the decal on. Also love the hard drive and ssd bays in the wire management side panel. Makes the whole build look a lot cleaner and simple to install.

***only complaint*** the K-boost only comes on the highest 77 model. I didn't take the time to read this first since I didn't have an EVGA GPU at the timeI really didn't care for many of the cases that are popular nowadays, in my opinion they're too busy looking with all the extra accents and flared chunks of plastic... so when I started to see some of the glass cases made by InWin and others I knew that's what I was going to get. I never knew EVGA made cases, so when I stumbled across the DG-74 on a different site for 60 plus 10 shipping I immediately had to have it! the sale did not go through however since it was shipping from China. Searched amazon for the same item and was able to get one two models up for less money factoring in the free shipping.The case is tinted so it looks like a black glass cube if there is not light coming from the inside, so keep that in mind. I myself lit the inside of mine with 3 120mm LED RGB fans, the RGB on the RYZEN 7 Spire cooler, the RGB on the Vengence ram, MOBO has built in LED strip running through the bottom half. So it looks really nice when it's on, and looks calm and understated when off.Airflow efficiency on the case is pretty good, fresh air comes in through the passage on the RH side of the front that stretches the whole 18" of height. I am currently getting lower CPU and GPU temps compared to the Cyberpower case I was previously using.Normally I don't take the time to write reviews if im not one of the first few, but these cases seem to be in peoples top OR bottom pics, real love/hate thing going on so I felt I needed to address the airflow issue, which was the only complaint that I was worried about before purchasing. Some people leave the entire front panel off which opens up the components to air more, but is going to reduce CFM going through the box, however due to the strange idea of painting the white models glass panels... taking off the front of a DG-75 in white is almost a MUST, However I advise staying away from the 75 in white, if you want it in white really need to get the 76!

I recently picked up an open box DG-77 from Amazon and decided to go for a heavy EVGA themed build.The case itself is very well made with quality glass and metal components.As always, EVGA is VERY generous with the extra nuts, bolts, screws, washers and anything else you could need. This is always a plus.Digging into the case, both sides and the front have tempered glass panels. The side panel obviously makes sense. The front panel is suspect as it hinders air intake. Depending on the heat generation of your components and how they expel their heat could cause an issue. I found running the case without the front glass panel not only greatly increased air intake but also really let the EVGA logo shine.The rear side black, tempered glass panel really makes no sense to me outside of aesthetics.The case supports what I would logically say would be at best 2x 140mm fans or a 280 AIO in the front for comfort. 3x 120mm or maybe a 360 AIO would fit, but it would extend into the lower PSU chamber and depending on PSU size and cabling, could make an already cramped case even worse.Using a standard ATX EVGA Z390 FTW motherboard, you can see the case was designed around EVGA's motherboard plug locations as everything lines up perfectly. There isn't much room in the case itself and everything is a pretty snug fit both top and bottom.I installed an EVGA CLC 280 AIO in the front and due to the short tubing, cables have to be top side up. Luckily the rad does install above the pump and is quiet with no gurgling or bubbles but with this case this is your only option for anything over a 120mm AIO. as there is zero room on top for any type of AIO. You do have the option of installing a 120mm AIO on the rear exhaust fan location.All internal lighting and RGB fan breakout is controlled via a USB 2.0 motherboard header and the fan controller in the front supports standard RGB fan lighting controls. With EVGA Flow Control software, both the AIO and case RGB was detected and you can control the case lighting right from the LED Sync software. Be warned, you will need at least one free USB 2.0 header too on your motherboard for the EVGA CLC AIO series if you choose to go that route.There is not much room in the back for depth for wiring and the PSU bay is very shallow. To say this case is a tight fit for standard components is an understatement.In the end, I installed a 9900k @ 5.2ghz and an Nvidia RTX 3070 Founders Edition. The internal heat generation was acceptable with the front glass panel off. With it on, internal temps had the exhaust fans spinning to max to compensate for the 3070 heat generation along with the slightly warmer air the AIO was producing as the only source of air intake.In the end, when I acquired a 3090 that wouldn't fit in the case, I ended up breaking the build back down and rebuilding a less thermally taxing 9100f + EVGA SC 1060 6GB build for my wife's WoW playing (It handles this thermally no problem) and waved the flag of defeat and purchased a much larger case for myself.It is a BEAUTIFUL case, but internally it needs a bit more room for cooling and space for major hardware and components. For a lower end or mid tier build, it works great.4/5

One of the most beautiful tempered glass case I've seen and worked on. Both the glass, shrouds, and chassis are all top class material. Plenty of room is the back and the power supply shroud for easy cable management. There is , however, the problem with the frontal air intake. Which I've experienced before on few other tempered glass cases as well. All I had to do was add 2 more intake fans on top. 240mm or 280mm AIO would easily fit in front. Although, I would recommend a push and pull configuration rather than just one sided. Overall, I enjoyed building in this case and I've ordered another one, this time a DG-75 for my I5-8600k build coming up. Always a pleasure dealing with EVGA products and their customer service. Best in this industry.
