Pros: -Very attractive design -Incredibly quiet -All stock fans are speed-adjustable -Front fan slots are filtered -Dual-compartment interior for excellent heat management -Easy drive installation -Built-in 2.5" drive support -Solid, precision feel in every moving part

Cons: Front door obscures an already-camouflaged power button Front fan filters are not easily removable (incorrect manual?) No Front fans included (No wonder it was so quiet at first!) Front USB3 doesn't use MoBo headers (Must use rear ports) Not much room between side panel and back of motherboard. Both panels are difficult to align and slide in correctly.

Overall Review: I absolutely love this case. It's gorgeous, very quiet (even with two 120mm fans in the front), and keeps all of its innards very cool. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat just for those things. But any time I have to turn it on (which is fairly often, as it so happens), I must open the case door and fumble for the invisible power button. And whenever I open it up to install/uninstall/troubleshoot something, the case seems to reject its own side panel, refusing to let me close it back up. I usually have to lay it on its side, and hold all of the hooks in place simultaneously as I attempt to slide it shut seven more times. And don't get me started on having to vacuum the non-removable fan filters *ahem* I recommend this case. It's pretty, quiet, cool, and only a MITE inconvenient.

Pros: Great original product by HP. Excellent color reproduction, and convenient adjustment options. Good price.

Cons: Both items I laid hands on look and feel "used" rather than refurbished.

Overall Review: The first one I received had 4 non-functioning buttons, things rattling around inside, and all of the adjustment elements needed tightening to be of any use. I sent it back, and got one with more rattling bits inside, and a small display distortion along the bottom left edge. It's not a huge problem, but disappointing all the same.

Pros: It's very, very pretty and sturdily built. The front panel is a solid piece of metal, giving the whole thing an almost monolithic appearance. When I see it sitting on my desk, it makes me happy. Building in it was not as bad as other mITX cases due to the removable panels and detailed installation suggestions. It's cooling my i5-12600k and RTX 4070 more than adequately, and did I mention how pretty it is? I would have happily given it 5 eggs, but for the following:

Cons: - It might FIT the biggest, hungriest GPUs, but it will struggle to keep them cool. My undervolted RTX4070 approaches 80° C during extended benchmarking. That's fine for me, but a hotter card would not cope well. - CPU cooler options are limited to low-profile air coolers or AIOs with a 120mm radiator. As airflow-restricted as the case is, I don't understand why it wasn't a design priority to accommodate 240mm radiators (There are 2 fan slots, just not space for a rad between them). - The PCIe riser cable is apparently only rated for PCIe 3.0. The initial crashing and artifacting I was getting resolved itself when I manually set the PICe generation to 3 in BIOS/UEFI. - If you run your cables from the top-facing I/O panel straight out the back to your peripherals, they will be un-reassuringly torqued to the side a little bit. - But if you run them all down the inside of the back panel as designed: 1) they take up space in front of both front fans. 2) it's pretty fiddly getting them routed out the very small channels provided at the bottom. 3) in order to add or remove a cable later, you'll have to take off the back panel and go through that whole thing again. 4) they exit the case RIGHT on top of the AC power cable, making it difficult to access.

Overall Review: I would recommend this case, but not for CPUs and GPUs that are already challenging to keep cool enough, and not at the original MSRP unless your sole criterion is appearance and build quality. Part of my satisfaction is derived from the 70% total discounts I got.

Pros: It works. It's cheap and comes with a USB adapter, which also works. The adapter also fits microSD cards, so it doubles as a smartphone data transfer tool. Nifty.

Cons: It doesn't not work (always a plus).

Overall Review: I'm using this in a mid-quality point & shoot camera. No need for zippy transfers, so I have no idea if it lives up to its speed rating.

Pros: Nice-looking Good feel to the power button Face plate comes off easily Convenient cable management Inexpensive

Cons: Flimsy and badly designed in every other way possible. Power supply mounts are thin, bendy tabs. Fits a mATX PSU, but once it's installed, the filter above it can't be easily reinserted. It's nearly impossible to get it back off again with the PSU installed. Have super glue handy, because it will break. I/O shield opening is flexy and useless. Any amount of pressure from the back pops the shield in, even with a MoBo installed. Supports mATX motherboards, but won't also fit a regular-size fan in the bottom slot. Y'know, the intake point. -The card reader cable is attached to the front panel using screws with wide, flat heads. On my case, they were actually making contact with the electronic components of the circuit board. While troubleshooting it I started unscrewing the card reader itself, and it began SMOKING until I removed the power cable. So much nope.

Overall Review: I replaced the screws on the card reader, but now my motherboard randomly loses its SATA ports while it's installed in the case. I have to make it work, as there's not time to deal with an RMA process, but Cheese & Rice, what a nightmare.

Pros: Very inexpensive Looks sharp and unique Mostly non-sharp edges on the interior

Cons: Zero cable management Undersized fans w/ no motherboard connectors Tabs on side doors bend easily Some sharp edges Front panel difficult to release Optical drive must be pushed in to close it (button is covered up when flap opens)

Overall Review: It's a cheap, fun-looking case with all the room I needed. No eggs were removed for corners cut on the design, as I know that's what keeps costs down (although I wish HEC had used 120mm case fans. It wouldn't have been THAT much more expensive to fill the mesh.) 1 egg deducted for the design of the optical drive door. I really, really don't like having to push on the open drive in order for it to retract.
