DIYPC Skyline-06-WB Black SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: First, it's a great price for an ATX case and really a great product at that price point. It has a lot of space inside. This was my first build and it was very easy to work inside the case. It is a really good looking case as well. Nice aesthetic design elements. Also nice that you can choose the color, I got mine in blue. Say you like this case but wanted wanted to do a green or red theme. You wouldn't have to go looking at cases that cost more and you don't like as much. Tons of of drive bays and it seems to be built really well...very sturdy. Also, although I have not fired it up yet, it seems like it will have good airflow.

Cons: There are a few cons with this case. Some more egregious than others. The two worst in my opinion are the directions or lack thereof, and the positioning of the cables from the power button and front (or top in this case) usb. The directions are nearly nonexistent. I would like to say that this is a great case for a first-time builder because of the ease of building inside it. However, first timers definitely need a little more instruction than what is provided. Literally a couple awful pictures and a few words for some rather important installation instructions. The cables coming from the front definitely do get in the way of installing optical drives. I know not everybody puts them in a computer but I was putting two optical drives and a card reader in the 5.25 bays. I suppose if you weren't filling them all you could simply leave the top one empty and this wouldn't be an issue. In general, I think there could have been some better cable management solutions. Some of the cable routing is rather awkward. While these are all cons, I see nothing that will it affect the functionality now that everything is together, they could have very easily done some things to make the build go a little smoother. That's why I have only docked one egg. Also, I wish that the area for the power supply had been partitioned off. This is mostly because my power supply was the last part arrive, and as I can be impatient, I would have liked to do the rest of the build once I got the parts. I knew as a first-time builder though that it might present some problems with space getting the power supply in if I had done it that way. One last point on the directions issue, it came with a big bag of three different types of screws with no indication of what screws were supposed to go where. This became an issue because I originally used the wrong type of screw for the motherboard and broke a screw off in one of the standoffs.

Overall Review: Just an FYI, this came with six of the standoffs installed and 3 in the bag of screws. No extras for an ATX MoBo. (Not that I expected extras to be included...I didn't) I ended up having to order standoffs due to the issue above. Overall I couldn't be more happy with this case for the price. I was already over budget on everything so to not have to shell out a fortune for the case was nice. And I still got something that I really like the look of a lot! And again, none of the cons affect performance, just the ease of building.

Pros: First off, I don't need to tell you it looks awesome. But I'll do it anyway, because it does! Seriously, a sleek-looking case that comes with its own light show is nothing to take for granted. I went with the green version for a change of pace from blue lights. Installing everything inside was no hassle. That's the natural benefit of a full tower case: plenty of room for everything. Toolless hard drive bays, too! And of course, it has a removable back panel for cable management purposes. Now that my computer's built and up and running, I find it oddly satisfying to look through the glass panel to see inside the machine as it works, gloriously illuminated by all the green LEDs. I feel that it's easy to forget why things like this matter; my previous computer case had a large fan obstructing the side panel. It was ostensibly a good idea, but THIS just looks so much better.

Cons: The only thing I wasn't really impressed by was the included LEDs. They're bright, sure, but they still don't provide enough illumination to fill the whole case with light. That somewhat comes down to ergonomics; the way the motherboard is mounted, the graphics card often winds up blocking the light to the bottom half of the case. Fortunately, it's an easy fix - I just installed a separate LED strip to fill in the dark areas.

Pros: Plenty of space and it's put together really well.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: I really like these cases, they are made really well and have plenty of space for all of my component's to breath with good air flow. The five pre-installed fans are quality fans and the fans are color coordinated to match the accent's of the case depending on what color case is chosen. The hot swap HDD dock on the top of the case is well made also, the connecters and cables inside the case that lead to them are sturdy as well. The tool less mounting hardware in the case make it easy and really quick to install HDD's etc. The two fan's on the front and top of the case have removeable filter's over them to clean the air to keep dust etc down to a minimum also. The window on the side panel is plenty big enough to enjoy looking at your PC while gaming or otherwise and is sturdy. This case may not be for everyone especially if your able to get a top of the line case but for someone on a budget like me it is an amazing case for the price and can't be beat in my humble opinion. I think I covered everything and sorry if I forgot anything, I hope this helps.

Pros: -easy install for components -price

Cons: -one color LEDs. -do not have space for bigger GPU. i have a MSI 1060 in and it barely fits. Do not try putting a GPU in this with 3 cooling fans unless you plan do a little bit of modding. -closed loop water cooling might need some modding but i was able to make due with a few existing screw holes to mount the water cooling fans/heat sink.

Overall Review: If you want see picture of my setup to get any ideas, feel free to send me a message.

Pros: Will fit a Noctua NH-D15S practically the same size as the DH15. 5 Fan run very quite. Optical drives x2, (x3 see cons) Hot Swap drive on top. Removable filters top and bottom. Plastic viewing window. All metal build with nothing that will cut you. easy access side panel for cables. Has rubber outlets on the back for any water cooling options. Lots of cable management holes around mobo. Plenty of slide drive bays with optional SSD or Hard drive mounts. Bottom mount PSU. Bottom Filter inlet for fresh air. Back outlet for heat. LOTS and LOTS of room in there. Easily can put in little figures inside if that your thing, or water pump.

Cons: Top drive bay has the I/O cables in the way. Not sure how to fit a 3rd optical drive but in my case no need . If you place the case on its side the tops fans make a grinding sound. Top fans no RGB. Front filter is not removable. Its part of the front panel. Top I/O USB x4. most floor mount people would prefer this but I have it desktop so it puts a strain on the USB cord for my headset. Fan RGB is cheap. Looks like a light in fog so you see a square pattern. Fans are cheap. I broke one of the mounts because I over tightened the screw. Didn't take much No separation for the power supply. I've seen lots of cases have the PSU in a separate area.

Overall Review: After so much searching I have found it. Unlike other cases this one has everything I ever wanted. 5 case fans, front and back have 4 LEDs. Filters tops and bottom can be removed and cleaned. Fits my TUF x570 board. Nice side panel allows me to see all my after market LEDs. Plenty of room for cable management on the reverse side. Most of all I was looking for a case that had optical drives. This case is very easy to work with when taking it apart. Love the size and the top Hot Swap connection for hard drives and SSD. I will also note that I have a Noctua NH-D15S practically the same size as the DH15. Lots of drive bays that slide out with 3.5 hard drive and SSD mounts, located right next to the front intake fans. No cutting yourself on the edges. With that said... Top drive bay has the I/O cables in the way. Not sure how to fit a 3rd optical drive but I don't need it. If you place the case on its side the tops fans make a grinding sound. That can't be good. Top fans no RGB. I took the top off and added 2 strips above the filter. Front filter is not removable! Its part of the front panel. As the main intake and you make it hard to clean. I have cats! The I/O is top mounted so the USB x4 slots are a bit annoying with my headphones. Again I have cats, The very large power button is right where they like to jump on the computer. Really wish I could get this case with front I/O and a front removable filter. I'm sure I'll fix this in the future but I would definitely buy this again. It's so pretty and the price was amazing! I hope this helps with other buyers looking for a case not made of glass and want cd drives.

Pros: Very nice case strong and many options, you can install large video cards no problems nice fan and it lights thanks

Cons: everything looks fine only if you would keep Hotswap ssd in front of the case and usb ports in front too so its ease to plugin and out other wise its perfect case thanks

Overall Review: yes i would recommend this case to everyone this is perfect strong case.

Pros: I bought this case for a do it yourself build for gaming. This is a sturdy case and the structure is all metal. Everything fits just as it should and well the look of the case when it's on is great. If I were going to build another gaming computer I would but this case again. I really can't think of one Con with this case at all.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I would most definitely recommend this case to anyone for any of your computing project.

Pros: Appears to be well built. Fans are quiet. Dust filters are easy to access. Lots of room.

Cons: Fans (in my opinion) are not properly installed for best dust filtering. The front fans were arranged to pull air into the case, but had no filter. The top fans were arranged to exhaust air from the case, but had a filter prior to fan making it filter exhaust air (didn't make sense). Only 3 of the fans are LED fans. The top fans are not LED lit.

Overall Review: I like the case, however I took it apart and rearranged the fans. I moved the front LED fans to the top and made them pull air into the case thus utilizing t he dust filter for its intended purpose. I put the 2 non LED fans from the top of the case into the front of t he case and made them exhaust fans since there is no filter in the front. I mounted my GPU radiator on the back utilizing the 3rd LED fan as an exhaust since again there is not filter. Added an additional intake fan on the bottom of the case to utilize the filter not covered by the CPS which pulls air through the filter and exhausts air out the back. This fan arrangement makes a nice lighting inside the case and utilizes the filters for air intake keeping the interior reasonably dust free and allowing a good air flow. I would buy this case again.
