We need more micro atx cases as well. It's a very good form factor for those on a budget but don't want a full size mid tower.

That's what I wanted to know! Thanks for commenting!

$70 but no fans included and no front usb c kinda ruins it for me. It's also larger than other matx cases like CH370 and CH360 both of which are around 38-39 litres while this one is 44 litres. Still prefer the overall form factor of the AP201 (33 litres) and front usb c and included fan despite its shortcomings with cable management

My two gripes with this case have to be the lack of a front USB-C port and the fact that there is no pre-installed fan for like the rear. 70$ is a solid price tag for this little thing, but I find the fact that it lacks those two things that can be found on a similarly priced ASUS AP201 is painful.

How does it compare to the Ap201? For example for gpu temps

Damnit! I love this case. I just got the lian li 011 air mini and love it but I may have gotten this tbh but in black 😉 lol. The form factor of this case is perfection. Also 70 dollars? Wtf so good man.

Finally got mine and transferred my build in to it, while this case is a good bit larger than my previous atx case the morovol p5 I think on amazon the fit of components, airflow and acoustics are all so much better it's not even a real comparison This is a wonderful case to build in compared to that junk and for only $20 more than most cheap amazon cases you can't beat this My phantek d30 fans an aio all fit perfectly and I barely hear the fans at all with my headphones on unless they are at 2k rpm struggling to play Minecraft with shaders lol Dust filter up top is slightly restrictive but my 360 kept my ryzen 7700x below 90c on cinebench and scored me 19700 which was better than the 19600 I scored in my old case with a tower and pbo level 1 with all the case panels removed

what fans are you using in that?

@akeeleferris Ай бұрын

All they have to do to make this perfect is make an ROG version to this with USB type c at the front and add right angle connectors in the box and then add their infamous premium ROG price and viola sales are through the roof

Saw your video on TikTok. Definitely inspired me to maybe pick up the black version of this case. Are there any pwm 120mm rgb fans you recommend?

@robeytech 6 ай бұрын

TBH the TUF ones we listed in the description are very good!

I like the back connect, I would totally go for it. I would prefer to build in the O11 Vision Compact, black, but there's only one black ATX back connect motherboard and it costs $700 :(

My cheap $40 atx case is smaller and has type C 😅 build quality is not the best though.. I'm switching to a white build, love the simple and spacious design of the A21. But the lack of type C really got me contemplating..

Can’t believe they cheap out on a USB-C port at the front.

I chose an ATX mid tower case both for easier building and better cooling. Specifically the Montech Air 903.

Yeah, makes sense. Did you not think this would work for that?

Isn't that about the size of a Lian Li 205M?

@thehistorian1421 6 ай бұрын

I believe the Lian Li 205m Mesh is slightly smaller! Its height, depth (front to back), and width are shorter if i remember correctly. I'd say go with the Lian Li 205m Mesh if you're air cooling your CPU. I own this case (Asus A21) and I feel as if they mainly had AIOs in mind when it was designed. It's just that the area is raised so much above where the motherboard goes that it just looks weird when not using an AIO on the top. Plus adding just fans to the top isn't ideal since you aren't able to attach fans to the PSU shroud in order to maintain correct air flow. If you are using an AIO then I'd definitely choose the Asus A21 over the Lian li for the same reason. Like I said, the Asus A21 has PLENTY of room for even thick radiators like the Arctic Freezer III 360. With the Lian Li the height above the motherboard is reduced significantly when compared to this case. It's just a smaller, more compact, and IMO neater package. Since I prefer to air cool I ended up going with the Lian Li 205m Mesh. Don't get me wrong, the Asus A21 is an amazing case. But for me, the case was just slightly bigger than I was looking for and there's too much "dead" space in the A21 when air cooling. Hope this helps! Dimensions: Asus A21 (H) 16.93in (430mm) (W) 8.66in (220mm) (L) 18.31in (465mm) Lian Li 205m Mesh (H) 15.74in (400mm) (W) 8.27in (210mm) (L) 16.95in (420.5mm)
