MSI MAG VAMPIRIC 010 Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case (Black, 1x 120mm ARGB Fan, RGB Front Panel, Tempered Glass, MSI Center, ATX, mATX, mini-ITX)

I read all the other reviews for this case and thought i would give it a try as i needed to tidy up my internals and get my usb's at the front working again.The cons first for £50.1) There is no sd card slot2) the rear fan does not light up unless you have ARGB ( i knew this already)3) minimal instructions.The normal for £50.1) minimal design which works.2) nice space to hide cables near the power supply3) takes 2 SSD's perfectly and 2 hdd's in hidden areas.4) All round good design but stock fan quiet but not whisper quiet.The pro's for £50.1) tempered glass adds weight and looks amazing2) nice lot of screws and cable ties. (you'll need your own fan screws)3) front rgb lights work lovely without ARGB, works with a button on the case to change colours etc. (nice touch)4) LOADS of room to work with.5) Looks fantastic and great cooling (temps at idle 25-30 degrees with 2 front fans, 2 on the top and the stock exhaust fan.)This is NOT a £100 plus case so you get what you pay for and then some.

So far I'm finding it a great case. Installed an msi 450 board and and 5700 cpu with no issues plenty of room for a 1050 ti graphic card and a 240 water cooling system. Most cables are neatly tucked away out of sight.I had resisted cases with window sides and led lighting for many years until I've had almost no choice when my old case had rusted out due to a damp home. I'm hoping that with a recent move that issue is solved and this new case seems well built with plenty of internal space. Only extra I would've likes is rolled edges for cable outlets as they come through but careful routing and it shouldn't be a problem. Good looking case at a decent price and quality

Bought this for an upgrade to my son's PC.In general I'm pretty happy with the case, the styling is OK, the front RGB strip looks good and doesn't need a separate controller, cable management is decent and it is reasonable value for money. Tempered glass rather than acrylic is a nice touch and there is room for a reasonable number of drives (2x 2.5" and 2x 3.5").However it is not perfect - perhaps for £50 one would not expect PC case nirvana - so here's why only 4 stars.First of all it feels a bit flimsy, the steel panels are quite thin and it does not feel terribly robust, the edges can be a bit sharp as well, but not the worst case I have worked in.There's no front dust filter, there is a magnetic filter for the top of the case but, frankly, you are not going to be drawing air IN at the top of the case so that's of limited use keeping the inside clean, also front intake air flow is a bit restricted - the case will take 3x 120 or 3x 140mm fans at the front but the air is pulled in through relatively small vents along the sides of the front panel and the top and bottom fans are at least partially restricted. The PSU dust filter feels especially cheap.It has "pop out" covers for the PCI slots, these are just aching to damage your motherboard when you remove them and, of course, not replaceable should you want to reconfigure any add-in PCI cards.It has a weird hinged flap partially holding PCI cards in place, but not quite so you still need screws. Almost as if it was designed as a quick release mechanism but MSI then decided it didn't really work but could not be bothered to change the tooling to get rid.If you leave the hard drive caddy in place (it is removable) routing cable bundles from the PSU becomes quite hard due to restricted space and the usefulness of the quick release trays for the hard drives distinctly mitigated by the fact that the thick cable for the main 24-pin power connector is going to be wedged in making it difficult to remove or insert a HDD. If you opt to leave the caddy out of the case because you don't need to mount any 3.5" drives then there is a nice large hole in the PSU shroud through which you are going to be able to see an untidy mess of cables.Finally the supplied RGB fan does not move much air and needs a motherboard which can drive 5v ARGB (or suitable controller but these seem few and far between), in the end I tossed it and put a regular fan in its place.Overall - there's nothing *seriously* wrong with it, but it's still a 50 quid case and that does show in some places.

I’ve no cons regarding this case. I bought it because I needed larger case that would fit msi gaming trio gpu which is long piece of card.. Assembly went great, there is plenty of room for everything, cable management is at least okay. Design is very simplistic which I like very much. My motherboard rgb setup is not poking the eyes and I assume the case is great for that. Also, metal casing is strong enough thanks to proper metal sheets used unlike cheaper cases.

Overall a great case, plenty of space but remains compact, very clean aesthetic (essential for the sitting room). Very happy. For my set up (moderate gaming, moderate overclocking) is pretty much perfect.Two small caveats however.1) not including a dust filter in the front intake is insanity, granted they are only pennies online but that's no excuse.2) whoever designed the system to remove the front panel should be shot. When the case is disassembled it's easy enough, just ping 8 little legs, takes less than 10 seconds, but you have to disassemble the case to do it! (both sides). How much would a hinge and latch system have cost? My guess is pennies.Maybe they knew you would have to disassemble it regularly because there is no dust filter!

The MSI vampiric 010 is a very sleek and modern pc case that support ATX boards, as well as M-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, The RGB on the font panel and rear exhaust fan are bright and vibrant and the fan is compatible with mystic light sync which is MSI's light sync software. the build quality on the pc case is out standing with no visible machining marks as well as no rough or sharp edges. this pc case is a very good budget choice with the looks and build quality of a high end case.

It's big, but was an easy install for my boy's first build. Nice and tidy and the glass side is fun for him to see the rgb on the gpu.

Cheap, affordable and does a brilliant job
