DIYPC DIY-Line-RGB Computer Case
A mid-tower case that combines fashion and function
Build and expand your dream system with ample interior that accommodates an ATX motherboard, graphics cards up to 395 mm in length and a CPU cooler up to 180 mm in height. Maintain a clean look with bottom shroud for your power supply, and wide clearance behind motherboard tray that hides and routes cables. A pre-installed fan and RGB LED strip light up your rig with mesmerizing lighting effects. And when your powerhouse is up and running, a 4 mm-thick tempered glass side panel lets you showcase your build bathed in brilliant LED lighting, which also adds a classy look and feel to your system. Other features include magnetic dust filter, top USB 3.0 connectivity, and compatibility with big brand LED lighting solution including ASUS AURA SYNC, Gigabyte RGB Fusion and MSI Mystic Light Sync.
If your motherboard has an RGB connector, this case has an AURA adapter that's ready to sync with the motherboard to control the RGB lighting.
Step I: Make sure the motherboard has a 12V addressable RGB header.
Step II: Find the AURA adapter on the included RGB controller.
Step III: Connect the AURA adapter (4-pin RGB header) from the RGB controller to the 12V RGB header on the motherboard.
Pros: I really like what DIYPC is trying to make - their quality progresses over time. This case is one of the best they've designed for mid 50 price range, really competitive with some well known brands at a higher price. This case is roomy, you can fit any video cards inside, any motherboards. Space inside is open and nothing restricts airflow. LEDs are very nice and bright, even with just one front strip and rear LED fan this thing lights up the room. I only add a few black fans when I use these cases. Rear space for the cabling is good too, could be a fraction of an inch wider, but enough for me. Cutouts are where needed, easy to route all the cables. PSU chamber is bigger than most other cases like this offer, so bigger PSUs should fit. Included fan does move a good amount of air. Front panel has perforated opening on the right side with filter attached - it is ver adequate to provide enough air for the front fans (which you have to add yourself). It is sturdy enough, not as easily bent as most other DIYPC cases. Box is nice and protects nicely.
Cons: Punchout rear PCI slot covers. When I forget to take them out before mobo is in it becomes a problem as many boards have capacitors at this location and these tabs hit them when removed. Front of the case under the cover has openings for 120/140mm fans but they are covered with metal pieces, which are hard to remove and are not necessary there, restricting airflow and not protecting anything. There is no wire to connect controller to the motherboard, so no software RGB control.
Overall Review: I'd buy it again, really nice for any kind of builds. Even dual video cards and large radiators can find place in this case.
