Very Nice Case for the Money

Pros: - Easy cable management. Been a long time since I have built my own system, love the way you can hide cabling behind the motherboard, underneath, etc. - Really like the bottom mounted PSU slot. Another great cable management feature. - Lots of room for fans - Sturdy feeling case

Cons: - Can not top mount the radiator. This case came as part of a bundle that included the Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2 . I ended up mounting it in the front, which is fine, but it limits the case fan placement. I would have preferred to top mount the radiator and have intake fans in front. - You dont need a lot of instructions with the case, but the few that came with it and limited and poorly written.

Overall Review: Make sure you read that this does not have slots for DVD/CD/Blu-Ray drives.

Good quiet build, easy setup

Pros: - Very tight build. Good cable management. - Quiet - Secure packaging -Quick setup, very little bloatware

Cons: - Room for more fans is available, would be nice if MSI put those in - No optical output for audio

Overall Review: Good price for what you get. I have built my own PCs for years, and before that as a white box PC builder in the 1990s for a PC wholesaler. This was my first pre-built PC ever, and I was very pleased
