Was worried the heatsink would inpinge on the graphics card, and it was close! Check your measurements carefully. As a happy accident it is now catching air off the graphics card exhaust hopefully its a net cooling but who knows. The heat spreader that came with the MB was useless so I'm glad I got something with a HS already attached. sequential read only is even close to 14K, IOPS read though is 4.7 GB! really nice! And you can tell the speed when installing software or moving data.

Lots of space, well ventilated, light but sturdy.

Great price and customer service ! Big fan of Phanteks

Transformed a memory starved lemon of a laptop to a FTL drive marvel. Inexpensive.

For a first case and first build and someone who isn't too familiar with mATX sizes I'd say this did the job and I'm very happy about it. The case frame feels sturdy with a quality coat of paint; worth the price as 3 quiet fans (360mm) are also included!

-Quiet. -Dropped my average under-load CPU temps by 20 degrees. -Looks great. -Easy to install.

- Research points towards an A+ PSU at the price, only time will tell.

Benchmarked it on CPUBenchmark dot com last night, got a shockingly high speed rating for it. It's not the very fastest on the market but it's right up there and a heck of a lot cheaper.

I'm not going to write a pros/cons, just the facts in this category. This is a VERY bare-bones 4U case. There are no reward points here for style. There are no removable/hot-swap trays, there is an old commitment to 5.25" bays you can convert with an IcyDock or similar; the tray layout does not provide for any of the newer methods for routing or cable management, and the spacing is such that you are not going to put any deep mount device in here. While there are numerous 3.5" bays, you really will want to use less than 1/2 of them for both heat and performance concerns. The case, however, is one of the cheaper 4U cases, and if you are looking for a baseline for a simple purpose, like a virtualization header, a Windows server, a firewall or similar, this case is certainly a decent choice. I have had no problems using this as a case for my firewall and VPN software layouts, as well as Windows servers in the past, due to pass-through problems of specific USB security keys that did not like VMWare or XCP's pass-through I was forced to keep on their own.

- Excellent cooling performance - Understated design, could be seen as a con for some - Fans are daisy chainable

It was easy to plug and play to get it going on the playstation 5

Does what it is supposed to do.

fast, relatively low priced.

Ran 4 of these in a storage array for a few years. They replaced a similar array built on smaller SATA drives. Needless to say, they're muuuuch faster than the SATA drives.
