It's a good case for the money, however save a buck and get a more solid one
This is a love and hate caseFor me, it's affordable. Plus i'm not into RGB and other premiums. I am interested in internal aesthetics and functionLet's start with the plus(es):a) Lightweightb) Cheapc) Black mat coating (classic)d) Has some cable management options (on the side you can slip some slim cables like sata, but beware of PSU ones)e) Couple of bays for HDDf) Option to add 120 fan in the front, a 90 fan on the back and max 2x 90 fans on the side (this is called a negative pressure setup: 2x intakes / 1 exhaust)Now onto the negatives (or rather drawbacks)a) Since it's so cheap, it's not so sturdy. Being light also doesn't help. In fact, i can bend it bare handed if i'm not paying attentionb) As per above, cable management is limited. It does exist, but consider using light cables or short ones. A modular PSU like the CX 450M is a good comboc) The air intake on the front is too small to consider using a fan there. It does work, but at some cost. I had more success using side fans (Arctic F5 screwed onto the side) than a conventional 120 mm front. Speaking of which, there is no top exhaust, so yeahd) You can't cram that much into it. I mean, the best motherboard I can see paired with the case is a H81 from Biostar or B450 Fatality from AsRock (roughly 17x17 cm or 17x19; micro ATX to be precise). I tried extended ATX, screws don't fit. Also my 1060 6 gb used to fit under a 17x19 board, but not under 17x17 (ironic - I did go around that by using a ryzer, but that's something to bear in mind)So, in conclusion:Buy this case if you're on a budget and can make some compromises.Save some money and get a better brand if you want to ease your workIt's cheap, classic, lightweight and has a decent airflow for the moneyAt the same time, it's easy to bend, hard to work with and probably will limit the size of your motherboard choice (may require some tinkering
