ALPHA Lite Alpha-SWB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: - Side panels fit more perfectly than any case I’ve ever owned. - Side glass panel is nice looking - Decent amount of space for cabling - I fit a Corsair cx750 in this thing but it was not easy. Get a modular PSU, especially if you are a new builder.

Cons: - If you put 3 fans in the front bezel, the top and bottom fans are cutoff by the white plastic by about 1/4th each. - Top black mesh is not part of the case but a magnetic strip. If you lose or break this piece, the top part of the case is ugly AF. - My PW Switch lead and Reset SW lead were labeled incorrectly

Overall Review: 16 hour headache thinking that my waterblock was somehow shorting out my board. After trying several different mounts and backplates etc. it finally dawned on me that maybe the internal case cables were mislabeled. You have no idea how happy I was when I figured this out. I had to attach the “Reset sw” to the power pins and everything booted as intended. Pay attention Raidmax, or you’re going to have a bunch of extra shipping costs from new builders who may not ever check this and just send the thing back. Overall not a bad little case. I may have given it 4/5 if this issue didn’t caused me such a headache.

Pros: if you want a ATX case in white with a 5.25 inch bay its meh, for me it was a starting point for a case mod ... that needed a dvd drive and in white

Cons: See that black part on the front... yea its blocked with paper

Overall Review: unless you can buy this for stupid cheap, need white, need a 5.25 inch bay, avoid

Pros: *to answer any early questions, yes this case is well worth its asking price of ~40. see full pros/cons list for more info: - full atx support - easily removable front panel - fully open front panel for good cooling potential - most fan slots are on rails for easy adjustability. - hdd cage can be relocated/removed for larger power supplies - extremely generous top cutouts for cpu power connectors to be easily passed through even with a fully built system. - top dust filter is of decent quality, even if it is unnecessary for most setups. -the completely open case layout made it just about the easiest motherboard install you could possibly do. - 5.25 bay on top of having triple front fan support is something normally reserved for super tower class cases, but this manages it amazingly. - most standoffs preinstalled and worked perfectly. - 4 different locations for 2.5inch drives to be installed, + 2 3.5inch mounts + top 5.25 mount makes this a good way to get a lot of storage/accessories in your system. - cleans up nicely inside with the 24pin cable being mostly hidden by the 2.5 drive mounts/cable cover. - looks are fairly not awful; my unit looks good with 3 light up fans in front.

Cons: *these are all nitpicks pretty much; for the price you cant really go wrong nonetheless, here's some small things of note: - front panel is open, but only after you remove some cardboard protector on the inside of the panel (I guess its there to keep the shipping Styrofoam from getting into the case?) - only one pci-e slot has a removable cover, all the rest are breakaways. -psu dust filter is not easily removable. - internal psu feet seem they could easily fall off if proper care is not taken on psu installation. - pci slots feel flimsy; a gpu support or expanding foam is recommend if you plan on shipping a full system in it to keep the gpu from falling loose or bending the case. -right side panel does not have an extended bit to allow for more cable management room; you'll need to make ample effort in cable management to get the side panel on easily without bending or having to do the old fashioned "stand on the side panel" to close it. - not all the standoffs were installed from the factory for a full atx board (middle right standoff missing in my case for my msi b350 tomahawk board) - bottom feet are pretty bad. - not much top clearance for a radiator; seems to be only for fans, but i could be wrong.

Overall Review: its cheap and the build quality was good; i didnt cut my hands or feel i was going to. very easy build. not bad for a first case either. it does a lot of things good to great, and does nothing bad enough to be worth noting here. just some normal cheap case stuff. it'll get the job done now and still have room for expandability in the future.

Pros: I got this because it was on sale recently so I could put MSI H310 Gaming Arctic mobo in it. Looks great with low profile Arctic HSF on it. Everything's white and black. After I installed 2 white LED fans for front and back, I booted the PC up and behold, its a beauty to view. So I plan to order 2 more white LED fans for the front. Should look much better. Installing everything from a small mATX tower case into this case is a breeze. (TIP: I noticed that the HDD cage down there is secured by 8 small screws - 4 on top, 4 bottom - and is removable if you have the LONG PSU! That's a big PLUS. )

Cons: The only con is a paper between front mesh cover and fan holders inside. The trick is to gently unbend 3 mesh metal tips at the bottom and push a bit out then pull the paper out from the bottom. There! (For that, it dropped an egg.)

Overall Review: I would buy this again if it's on sale AND the color is BLACK.

Pros: Easy to build in clean case. Good room for liquid aios.

Cons: Came with a paper cutout blocking all front fans from getting air. I just noticed this after owning for months. Behind the front case mesh tho make sure yours doesn't have paper cutout there blocking intake airflow.

Overall Review: cheap and little stupid

Pros: 1 5.25 DVD slot Front has 3 spots for fans same with the top 3 spots, and 1 exhaust for the rear No problem getting a Hyper 212 EVO on. Will fit big sized graphics cards Nice Full window On sale pretty good deal as long as it lasts i hope it will I have 3 fans installed the front and after months of the computer running (8 months) the dust inside wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it was going to be.

Cons: Didn't no the black mesh on top was just stuck on with some magnet yes the case looks funky without it. First time i seen magnets anyway near a computer case didn't like that at first there very week though.. I use ssd's anyway but might have to add a hdd for cheap movie space.

Overall Review: I would recommended the product. I would purchase it again Overall i cant complain building it with my old 8350/7970 and full atx motherboard went pretty good.

Pros: -The PSU opening being on the backside makes hooking up all the power cables much easier if you're doing at least minimal cable management -Cheap -Spacious interior -Good design for cabling. YMMV, but this was the first build I've ever done where I wasn't pushing the limits of how far one cable or another could reach. -Best mounting system for the optical drive I think I've ever encountered. Literally just slide the drive into place. -If you're going to place the tower on the desk (or level with your desk) as I am, the front panel buttons and ports are ideally situated. But they'll be annoying if you place it on the floor. -I like that the MB standoffs were a different color than the case interior; it made placing the MB that much easier.

Cons: -The tech specs are misleading, there is no real "dust filter" on top, just a metal mesh. I've only used this case for maybe an hour, but I suspect it will fill with dust far faster than most other cases, especially once you remove the mind-boggling paper from the front. -The front panel is pretty annoying to remove. -The front panel mesh is completely blocked by a piece of paper. REMOVE THIS if you're going to mount fans on the front. The mesh holds on to the paper and attaches to the panel by bendable mesh flaps. They feel like they'd break after only a few bends. -The SSD mounts are poorly designed and should be reversed. I have the L-shape SATA power connector, so my current setup has some strain on that connector. -In a perfect world, there'd be another centimeter or so of depth to the PSU's cavity to make inserting it with cables attached easier (which you will be; you cannot attach cables while the PSU is installed).

Overall Review: -I would recommend this case for casual computer users, but probably not for gamers or hardware-intensive applications. I'd bet money that this case gets very dirty when equipped with a lot of fans.
