Great case for this price range!! Well-designed and very stylish!! Most builds for the average computer user would do very well in this case.
It would have been better if they had included a front intake fan.
And. . . .I paid $39.99 for it. Then 2 days later it dropped to $29.99. Then the next day it dropped again to $19.99. (I'm guessing these are not selling very well)
Now for the main reason I'm writing this review:
The last reviewer (who wouldn't even identify himself) obviously has no idea what he is doing if he had that much trouble simply trying to mount the board in the case.
And, just to clear up some misinformation, top-mounted power supplies do not cause any significant increase in system temps! They work fine and have served the computer enthusiast industry well for many years. In fact, bottom-mounted PSU's have actually resulted in increased temps due to dust being sucked into the PSU thereby reducing airflow and causing the PSU itself to run hotter and therefore heating up the air inside the case. They have even caused premature PSU failure due to overheating. So, unless you are buying a higher end case with removable filters and you intend to clean the filters often to ensure good air-flow (which most average users would not think to do) I would recommend staying with top-mounted PSU cases. Any case designed for good airflow will keep your system cool and a top-mounted PSU will not adversely affect this.
This case is a good product - better than most in this price range! The only thing I would suggest to improve this case is that you buy another 120mm fan and mount in the front air intake. This improves airflow by creating a push-pull fan design and it forces air directly across your HDD area to keep your HDD's cooler.
--It fit my 'MSI RX 480 GAMING X 4G' which is huge
--Nice minimalist look and design. I absolutely love the look and size of this case sitting here beside me on my desktop.
--I am advising against this case for one reason, the top-leftmost standoff mount was off by at least 2 millimeters rendering it unusable regardless of how much I tried to work with it. All the other standoffs aligned perfectly, but I had to leave the motherboard unmounted at the top-leftmost point.
--metal is thin and light but that is honestly why I bought it. Not really a con. I wanted something small and light.
This is the first case I have ever purchased that is under $50 AND that there were not numerous reviews on. Everything else but the standoff mounting point was fine by me. Too bad I can't recommend this case for that reason, because I love the aesthetics of it.
