OK. Lacks premium build features

by Stu star_border star star star star

Pros. Looks good. The RGB effects are an attractive touch. Reasonably well put together. Great airflow options. Stock fans supplied are enough to get you going. Dust covers easy to access and maintain. Cons. Board mounting is basic, just standoffs. Nothing to locate and lineup the board. I struggled to mount the board with the IO shield (could just be the budget board I got?) Nothing quite lines up perfect, PSU, GPU, Motherboard. It all needs a little forcing. The glass side panel is just held on with 4 fixings. Makes it hard to service unless it's laying down. Others I've had, the glass has a frame and location mechanism. Happy with the purchase and it looks good.


Not too bad in the end but quite a pain to setup

by sc star_border star star star star

Good stuff:- Thick steel, well manufactured chassis. RGB is subtle and not software dependant. - Thermals are surprisingly good in stock fan config- Looks like a premium product.Bad Stuff:- one of the motherboard spacers was shot so no screw there...- thumb screws are fiddly and hard to screw in - like the screw holes haven't been threaded properly.- cable compartment is not as ample as I assumed - ATX power supply cable and the main SSD tray have a problem with each other (seriously poor design there).- Very tight space at the top and bottom of motherboard, CPU power must be connected before motherboard is secured, SATA and USB3 cables are super awkward to deal with.


initially I Thought it looks like a fridge - but I was wrong, it looks amazing actually!
