I ended up buying the Gamdias Talos P1 then saw the the Enermax Saberay and then was like dammit i like the Enermax better but I have an idea for for the 5.25" dvd slot with everyone want to do cool mods the there case I was thinking that a cool double dim screen that had a really nice LCD screen that you could program with everything from computer stats to Alexa or just a video screen playing something cool it would make a great aftermarket product and could be adapted to a single or double dim slot I think it would be cool upgrade

Also, just to add to this review, the design of this case is actually the same of one of their cheaper models (D-Shield v2), all they did was change the side and front panels for more prettier ones :P

I choose this rather than NZXT H500 just because I use the included fan at the back and top and I used 360 rad on front 🤣, I would choose NZXT if theyc had the flexibility like this case tho

I got 2 of these for my grandkids christmas PCs ( yes they are spoiled! ). I got the basic version, from amazon for $45 shipped. Added my own RGB fans. The cases look cool for the price, and the kids will love ' em.

[@iworuuzz6721]

been rocking this case for a bit over 2 years now, got it for just about a little under 50 euros which at the time was about 55 USD or so, with the mesh front and 4 of these fans included, the front IO was moved to the front of the case on the right side though, probably an updated version of this case, but for the money i got it for is totally worth it

[@happycamperjack]

Running 9900k and 1080ti in this case with front mounted 360 AIO facing in and rear exhaust facing in (in order to increase the air flow pressure) and top 140mm fans facing out. Zero cooling issues. My gpu runs at just one degree hotter than with side window removed. Looks better than any case I can find too thanks to the front clear panel with RGB strip. You literally can’t find a better value case.

[@chikon1000]

Right thing no zip ties was included in my case as well, though i got the $40.00 one, i bought all cooler master fans extra. The cable management was really difficult. i have included 6 fans, 3 x 120mm and 3 x 140mm fans and also a 240R cooler master AIO in the front. After installing everything the cable management was really difficult, somehow i did it, took almost 2 days to do the entire cable management. I am running ryzen 2700x and 1070ti temp reaches near about 75deg C while running games but 1 thing i would say built quality is not that bad compared to it's price.

Just what I needed. Found this one but white for 26 EUR on a sale but without fans.

[@mr.g354]

In Canada you can get the matrexx 55 mesh case for 45.00 CAD. It includes the psu shroud but not the fans

[@saivekmakkar1765]

The more expensive version is the same case with just 3 rob fans. It states that when you buy it, so it shouldn’t be surprising that the 75 dollar and 40 dollar case are the same.

[@tedtrash]

I bought the bare bones version of this case. The front bezel is not removable to install fans. The front bezel is snap fit, and the snaps probably need to be drilled out and replaced with large self tapping screws if you want to be able to service the front of the case. Likewise, the front tempered glass panel is attached with broad black vinyl double backed tape, so it cannot be removed either. Had I known, this would have been a deal breaker for me, even though it was a deal at about $50 CDN. Lots of hardware with it, however, including extra standoffs.

[@tosic4097]

I bought a different $40 deep cool case and needed to remove the mass of hard drive cages at the front so I could fit my aio, this led to over an hour of carefully drilling out every single rivet holding the cage in, and there were a lot of them.

[@videogamesplanet6631]

Can you do a case review of the $30 DIYPC BG-01? Everyone says its an amazing case for the cheapness. I have one and so does my brother for our PCs and have had good experiences. Id like to hear your opinion on it as a case for the “cheaper” budget side of things.

No preinstalled fans on the mesh version?

[@takarlor12]

Does mounting the front fans behind the mounting bracking improve airflow? That small space in the front panel seems more restrictive.

[@danielhn93]

It does a little bit. Mine didn't come with a shroud so everything is seeable from the inside. I have to say, the bottom fan placement is ridiculous. I tried to place a 120mm fan there, inside the chassis between the mount and the HDD mount, and while the screws can hold it, you're left with ugly cables that you can't hide at all. So it's a trade off. You either mount the fan on the outside next to the front panel and restrict airflow as well as be unable to screw in those two bottom screws for that fan and hide the cable properly, or mount it on the inside and route the cable through one of the further away large holes.

[@quebecpatriot1874]

there were 2x3pins connectors dangling in mine (add-rgb version) but the controller they sprout from is really cheap; so I guess you could venture splitters and connect a few rgb fan connectors (leds suck very little amps, 3 per connectors is safe but the 2 connectors are already split so...could still work but sign this waver { }, not responsible for any fire hazard!)) you`d still need to use a hub for the power, probably provided in your fan kit anyways...shop wisely, i ended up ditching the whole controller/wiring parts and replacing it with a enermax tb rgb fan kit (6) and led strips (4) in place of the front strip
