As you can clearly see, this case isn’t designed with the best airflow. If you plan on building something that would generate some high heat, look elsewhere.Anyways, this case is everything you need for a stylish low-end build and easy for beginners to use. I was a beginner when I bought this case over 2 years ago. Here are some things I appreciated about it from the beginner POV:The fans wiring is easy to understand and use.Cable management options are fantastic.Affordable and stylish.It comes with dust covers for the air vents.Now that I’ve had for a while, this case still has everything I need for 1080p gaming.The airflow is just enough to satisfy hardware (ryzen 5 3000 series and rx 570 gpu).There is plenty of room in the case with all the hardware for water cooling options.It has just enough hard drive/ssd mounts to satisfy most peoples storage needs.I haven’t messed with the fan speeds since I first bought it, but the default fan speed (or whatever setting it is) are basically a whisper.There is one thing I don’t like about the case which possibly just applies to me. I’ve had to move this case from different cities more times than I would’ve liked.This thing is heavy.However, moving a lot helped me find more positives about this case.The shape of the case is perfect for being packed into a car or large box. It is also sturdy enough to keep the hardware inside safe and secure after it being slammed onto a table and been through some very bumpy car rides. I am literally surprised that the glass panel hasn’t cracked or have any major scratches on it.But yes. Fantastic case for beginner/low-end builds

I needed a new computer, so went for a mid-tower build. I was getting a Ryzen 3700X, so the air cooler is RGB and I wanted an RGB box for the fans. This one fit the build well, with the tempered glass side to show off the interior lights. The solid back side is a great place to hid the wires and there were plenty of openings to get them around to the motherboard. There is a bracket for an HDD and somewhat flexible mounting positions for the SDD, although with rudimentary mounting (the drives just screw into the box itself). There's even a cut out to display the power supply's side information. The box fans are pre-wired and just plug into a single SATA power outlet. I put a computer together last year into an over $100 case. While some of the more expensive features are missing (hot swappable drive bays, etc), this case was easy to build in and the final setup looks good.

Update: I now own 4 of these cases. I have put an R5 1600AF with a b450 in one with an RX 580 and I have it oc'd at 4200 and it does pretty decent. On Average 10-15 degree cooler with side panel off, and 5-10 it you remove front panel and let fans get full airflow. I took the plastic front piece out of the frame and reattached it and it looks pretty decent and my thermals stay really low. Prime 95 and Aida 64 stress tests for an hour and never went over 85C. VRM's on the board and internal air temp stayed at 70C and below the whole time. 2 others have R5 3600's Oc'd at 4200all core with AIO's. MSI X570A boards have cheap vrms, but even with oc'd vega 56's the internals stay under 75C and the board temp never goes over 65C. Stress tested them for 8 hours on both prime and aida and nothing went over 80c at any given time. Outside ambient air temps were room temp, roughly 70 degreeish. With a decent tower cooler and no to very little oc this case is probably the best you will find for the money. Plenty of space for cable management and storage drives. Installing AIO's can be tricky, and the top can onyl hold a 120mm aio as long as you use a matx or m-itx board. a regular atx board is too wide and the ram slots are too far over closer to the front fans and the aio radiator with a fan installed will not fit. You can install the radiator up top but if you want fans on it, then you will have to install them on the outside of the case. The 3 rgb fans say you can control them with your mb, although they are not adressable on this model, but I hooked them up like it said to the correct port but couldn't get it to do anything. If you want addressable, choose the V250. its normally the same price, maybe 5 bucks or so more.I Paired this case with a B360M, i5-9400F, 32GB Corsair DDR4 3000 C16 ram, a Corsair 750 Gold certified fully modular PSU, Corsair 500gb SSD and a WD Blue 1TB HDD. Added a single 120MM watercooler which is mounted on top and threw in a Vega 56 8GB video card. The with all the fans going minus the video card you can barely hear it run and my CPU doesn't get over 60 degrees Celsius EVER. I play Assassins' Creed Unity on ultra on 1080p at 110FPS, WoW on ultra settings in a 40 man I get 80 FPS in 1080p, For honor I am getting 62FPS in 1080p on max settings and my CPU never gets over 60 degrees. My video card never gets over 68 degrees Celsius and I have the reference air boost version Vega 56 with just one fan. The rear fan on this case draws so much hot air out of it that it literally will warm my kitchen up to the point where my central air will stay on because the switch is right besides the kitchen and Livingroom entryway. And yet it never gets above 60 for the CPU and 70 on my GPU. There is plenty of airspace in this case and the fans that were pre installed are more than enough to keep your temps down. My only iffy thing about this is the top usb ports seem a little flimsy but haven't had any problems with them working as they should. I have owned this case for about 5 months now and haven't had any issues to speak of.
