Pros: Very bright, very red. Definetly not orange.

Cons: The power cords could be just a tad bit longer, but I made it work. Not worth an egg.

Most Critical Review

I really want to like this case

SAMA V62 Mid-Tower PC Case, 7x120mm Pre-Installed ARGB PWM Fans, 4mm Tempered Glass, USB 3.1 Type-C & USB 3.0 Ports, 7 Slots, Support ATX/MATX/ITX, Back-Connect Ready, Black
SAMA V62 Mid-Tower PC Case, 7x120mm Pre-Installed ARGB PWM Fans, 4mm Tempered Glass, USB 3.1 Type-C & USB 3.0 Ports, 7 Slots, Support ATX/MATX/ITX, Back-Connect Ready, Black

Pros: 1) The wire management space in this case is decent, but not great. 2) The case has sleek lines with the curved glass and integrated curved LED bar at the bottom looks fantastic. 3) The fan controller is a nice touch. I like that I can use the button on the front to cycle through a variety of color options or hold it for 3 seconds to have software take over the control. 4) Easily fits a 360mm AIO. 5) The 7 included pre-installed RGB fans all work well, aren't overly loud and make for a nice, uniform look.

Cons: 1) The only way to use the USB 3.0×2 ports on an ATX board are if your board is one of the few that doesn't have this port at the bottom of the board. The only way I could plug this cable into my board would be if I removed the bottom middle pre-installed fan, which would both change airflow and just look bad. This is my biggest complaint about this case. If I were to swap to an mATX board, it would be too small for the case and you'd have a lot more visible wiring. The only other option is to get a different board. All of the other headers at the bottom of the board are fine, but this one just can't fit as the cable from the case is too thick/stiff to make the bend. This is why I only gave it 3 stars. There's no way they couldn't have foreseen this. 2) Fingerprints on glass. You've got to be extra careful with where you touch this case when moving it or removing/adding the side panel or you'll be dealing with fingerprints on that nice curved glass. 3) I reached out to the manufacturer via their website a week before I even placed my order to ask a question about the included fans but still haven't heard from them, (checked spam too). So I wouldn't expect much from their support.

Overall Review: I really want to like this case. Overall, it'll work for my current and even future needs now that I know about the issues I've found and can plan around it, but I probably would have chosen another case had I known prior.

Overall a good choice

SAMA Q70 Black CPU Liquid Cooler, 360MM Liquid Water AIO CPU Cooler with 2.8" LCD Display, Magnetic Detachable, XT120 Modular Fans LCP Blade, Bonus Stands, 115X, 2011, 1200, 1700, AM4, AM5 AIO Cooler

Pros: 1) Preinstalled RGB fans on the radiator 2) Only 1 fan and ARGB connector needed for the radiator fans as they're daisy chained. 3) The ability to mount the screen to the pump, a fan, or any metal part of the case.

Cons: The hoses are a bit stiffer than expected. I was unable to mount the radiator with the hoses to the rear of the case like I wanted due to this.

Overall Review: Overall a good pick and I'm happy with it. My temps have dropped considerably.

Excellent Cooling

Pros: Great cooling, looks snazzy

Cons: Very tall, I have a pretty wide case and it still fills up a lot of space, had pretty large gaps to fill with grease around the heatpipes. I expected this so not worth an egg.

Overall Review: wish it came with another fan
