Fractal

Price. Hands down the best cheap case there is. Clean lines, nice features and buttons, USB 3.0. Well constructed small form painted inside and out. A mod builders delight.

Its less than 7" wide so no behind the board cable management.

You have to be a good builder to love this case. Its not easy to put everything in it and have it look good. But do it right and you will be the envy of the lan party. Its so small it cute.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Nice looking budget case with some design flaws

The finished product is nice. Clean lines with the brushed aluminum look of the front bezel make this case look like it would cost more than it does. The stock fan is quiet, and with the addition of a Silenex 92 mm exaust fan, the computer runs quiet and cool. The case feels light but sturdy when assembled.

The hard drive mount is the worst design I've ever come accross, and I've used a lot of cases in varing price ranges from a lot of different manufactures. I also had a hard time fitting an ASRock H170M Pro4 micro-atx motherboard in it because of the optical drive bay. Cable management is nonexistant in this case. Excess cables can be bundled and hidden behind the hard drive bracket however.

I will not use this case again, but I might give some of their higher priced offerings a chance in the future.
