I know I said it on the live stream but I think this is a damn fine looking case and a bargain for £45. The shape and size for of it compliment the 200mm fan ideally and I think there are plenty of options inside for cooling configurations. Serious considering this case for when I get all the components together for me new B550 build. Thanks for taking the time to do the video on this, Mike and Kath 🙂

[@mikesunboxing]

cheers bob, yes it is a nice case and takes the kolink design and improves it quite a bit, nice and easy to work in and decent amount of rgb too! thanks again for the kind donation

[@danmar007]

Micro builds seem to be very popular. I'm beginning to think I might do one myself sometime. I don't think I'd go smaller than MATX though.

[@mikesunboxing]

MATX is the sweet spot now for bang for the buck, ITX is like throwing money away it seems for not much gain expect a bit more desktop space

[@Senrab46]

Good review Mike of a smart looking case! Where was this wen i biilt my dters 12mths ago. Similarly scattervolt did a $500ish build in a veetroo which looks just like this. Think the fans look great & make it look expensive yet effective, ideal for a budget build. Get well soon Mike and Kath👍

[@mikesunboxing]

thank nick, we are both sick now, but on the mend hopefully, see you soon

[@daveaitken92]

I absolutely loved this case when I got one last year for about £37 on ebuyer with free shipping! Cracking case that looks the part. I'm a massive fan! (200mm to be precise)

Greetings to you

[@rickh8380]

That is a very nice case indeed. Another great review from the Dynamic Duo. :D Take care. Cheers

[@mikesunboxing]

Thank you kindly

[@UltraGameWorld]

Thanks for this overview Mike, I have been thinking of buying this case for a while so great to take a detailed look at it. I think for £45 it looks a great buy, with it being MATX you could save a bit of money on a cheaper MATX motherboard too for your build.

[@mikesunboxing]

yes that is the great thing about MATX now especially as people don't often use SLI or crossfire and add on pci pcie cards

[@jhettbrewin322]

Appreciate this video very in depth. Great to know the fans link together as the mATX board i'm pairing only has one ARGB header. Cheers from Aus!

[@mikesunboxing]

Glad it helped

[@patricklebel1141]

This is the case my 3950x mining all day long would love..Big slow fan and roomy!

[@mikesunboxing]

yes it would help to keep things cool and quiet

[@PaulBakewell]

Looks like a great option for a small case. Great video, thanks Mike.

[@carlosgradilla4861]

I just get this case and is very cool and functional!

[@mikesunboxing]

Yes it is a very nice well thought out case

[@marcalin8950]

Subscribed !!! Thank you for showing all of the case's features. I ordered one today ! Also bought 2 separate fans for the top section (Aerocool Frost 120mm). I also wanted to ask if a Gigabyte P550B PSU would fit in it.

[@mikesunboxing]

thanks for the sub and yes i don't see any issues with that PSU

[@neilwalker4575]

Looks like a nice case but feels a bit hard to pick over the Neutron Lab Stellar, Fusion etc. which are available for the same money, or less at the moment. This might make sense for a compact build where you don't want the tiny-motherboard-in-a-massive-case look.

[@mikesunboxing]

yes the neutron labs range is hard to beat right now

[@cptwhite]

I quite like this one, seems like a decent compact option - just make sure the PCI-E is in the top slot if you're going to install a higher power GPU (check PCI-E position on motherboard doesn't have a PCI-E x 1 slot above it), so there's enough space for the fans to intake. Might also be a good option for a blower style cooler. Good open fan vents as well so it won't impede exhaust air - an airflow optimised fan might be good for the back position - remove that tacky RGB fan and turn the LED off the front, I'm with Bob on that! Ryzen 1600's are available on AliExpress for the £77, build a budget 6 core/12 thread gaming system, with something like a GTX970 Blower or GTX1060 3Gb?

[@mikesunboxing]

yes the 1600 is getting popular again, especially if you can get the AF version which is basically a 2600 downclocked

[@cptwhite]

@@mikesunboxing I've found B450 boards are 10 a penny at the moment. The decent ones like the mortar and tomahawk can be had for a little as £50 to £60 new. The Gigabyte B450M DS3H would made a good budget candidate as it's available for £40ish at CCL, good for the 1600 though as it's natively supported. Sure the 1600 isn't high end, but the extra cores smooth out gameplay, and as long as it's above 75fps it's going to be a decent gaming experience

[@mikesunboxing]

@@cptwhite yes the b450 is getting its final hurrah before they stop making them in such numbers. shame we cant get any apus right now

[@UKVampy]

Just looking at the Aerocool Python at Scan at £47, similar to the Atomic but ATX. Well popped out and picked one up from Scan.

[@mikesunboxing]

cool not seen that one before, i'll take a look

[@UKVampy]

@@mikesunboxing Well turns out my MB is faulty and I'm gonna have to take it back to Scan, the 2nd channel ram slots don't work.

[@mikesunboxing]

@@UKVampy That sucks :-(

[@ugh7610]

After a month of use, after turning on the machine, the machine stopped after one minute of operation. It was on the same branch with an ssd and either the ssd didn't work or there was no image and it stopped after a minute. I disconnected the fans and the problem went away. (600w bronze psu , (45A on 540w +12v branch)) The house is small, simple and beautiful, but those LED fans are crap. I didn't feel like playing with them, which one was bad, so I trashed them both. (b460 matx, 9700f, 16gb ram, 1050ti, evo 860 ssd, 1tb hdd, adata sata ssd, alesis v25, alesis q mini, fiio dac. It can be seen that it is not a power eater)

[@copystuff]

3.5 Drives might vibrate if theres no vibration rubbers for the hard drive caddy Mike

[@mikesunboxing]

yes that is very true

[@tankfest8973]

Great job as always such a cool looking case if you could maybe do a review of the Gamemax Revolt or Matrexx 40 3FS that would be awesome :)

[@mikesunboxing]

Great suggestion!

[@jjsoko6393]

That's me convinced, thx.

[@mikesunboxing]

thanks for watching

[@cyber_softie]

This seems like a great little case! I'm considering this, or the Kolink Citadel Mesh from the cases you have reviewed. There's one more that caught my eye, the Montech Air 100, have you heard of it? Your seal of approval means a lot to me. :D

[@mikesunboxing]

the montech air is one i have wanting to try, a few people have said the mesh on the front isn't that open, but like i said i haven't tried it for myself. the Atomic or the citadel mesh are both good choices and if they are the same price i would maybe edge towards the kolink

[@cyber_softie]

@@mikesunboxing Thanks a lot for your advice and all the work that you do. :)

[@mikesunboxing]

@@cyber_softie No problem - have a great day! :-)

[@methanoid]

Nice, pity it isnt actually available WITHOUT windowed side... not everyone wants them ;-) And a cutout in PSU shroud is a hard "NO thanks" from me. Looks nice with the RGB front fan and mesh though

[@mikesunboxing]

Good point!

[@matthewday7565]

If you have an ugly PSU, Vinyl wrap it, can't remember if Mike did that in a video or in a Saturday stream

[@methanoid]

@@matthewday7565 yeah or put a sheet of vinyl across opening. Jist saying I don't want to have to "fix" a case design flaw (my opinion)

[@teabagNBG]

Im getting this case until I builded my own makerbeam case

[@robytzaboy]

Hello, i was wondering... what do you think is better, this one (Aerocool ATOMIC MATX) or Gamemax BLACKHOLE. I can buy Atomic(sh) for 50euro from a local or Blackhole new for 56euro. For me the quality look the same, but appearances can be deceiving. Thanks for your time, reading this and have a nice day!

[@mikesunboxing]

Both are good I think I prefer the open airflow of the atomic myself

[@robytzaboy]

@@mikesunboxing Thanks! (i like that one more too)

[@peterspinuzzi9695]

This is now sold as the Vetroo M01. Same case. Only the 200mm fan is included and it's not ARGB, just regular RGB.

[@peterspinuzzi9695]

@@mikesunboxing yeah definitely used be be a better deal than it is now. Hard to recommend with no ARGB fan even though the case still has the RGB button

[@t3chrax95]

What is the noise level of the front and stock fans of the case?

[@mikesunboxing]

the front fan is pretty quiet the rear slightly more noisy due to the higher RPM

[@SunkaWicasa]

If my mobo doesnt have any argb it fans will light up? As far as i understood in the video or wrong?

[@mikesunboxing]

yes you can use the built in rgb button to cycle colours

@@SunkaWicasa No problem :-)

[@pchelp903]

So does this case just already have the standoffs ready to just slot in a micro atx motherboard

[@mikesunboxing]

it should have

[@christianmartinu]

Great video. Can't for the life of me make the rgb's come on. They spin, I have the argb connected to my Asus mobo, but pressing the front rgb button does nothing, nor does using asus sync program. Where do you plug in the front panel rgb button cable? Are the rgb just meant to turn on when connected to a molex? Pulling my hair out!

[@mikesunboxing]

yes they need the power from the molex to do the rgb dance

[@christianmartinu]

Can you turn OFF the RBG lights, without turning off the fans?

[@mikesunboxing]

yes press and hold the RGB button

[@georgemitchel23]

My case only came with the front 200mm fan and it doesn't light up... already called the manufacturer to replace it, and the new fan doesn't light up either.

[@mikesunboxing]

did you connect the molex connection

[@PCFixer]

Hmm, the back of the Case seems to have a good lot of "depth" (judging by the shadow when you turned it around) for cable management, and yet photos with the back side panel screwed on make it look like there's none at all, like the Aerocool CS-107 Mini (which is quite frankly a pathetic case, soon to be replaced with a Thermaltake Versa H17; now THAT is cable management heaven). Does the back-SSD mount hide access to another cable tie point?

[@mikesunboxing]

not sure i'll have to check again to be sure

[@janrozema7650]

I own a V1, what RGB button ? It only has power and reset..., Are you sure you dont have a V2 ?

[@janrozema7650]

Had to know, that is a V2. The V1 does not have adresable RGB, that just connect via a molex connector

[@weskulturey]

Is it also possible to turn the rgb off with the buttons? Couldn't really tell. Also, is it pwm controlled if you plug it into the motherboard? (i think i have a rgb header on my mobo, it says "led cpu" and is 4-pins)

[@mikesunboxing]

4 pin RGB is not compatible, this is 3 pin ARGB, and yes you can change the lighting, including turning it off from the case button

[@ChrisKadaver]

Cannot find the white one. There probably doesn't exist one. It's probably just the print on the box that is the same for all cases.

[@mikesunboxing]

i'll see if i can get in touch with them and verify

How do you change the front fan speed?

[@mikesunboxing]
