RAIJINTEK THETIS Silver Classic, Alu. ATX PC Case, Supports Max. 280mm Length VGA Card, 170mm Height CPU Coolers, 4X HDDs,240mm Radiator on top, 1x 12025 LED Fan pre-Installed, 2X USB3.0, 7X PCI Slot

For the price of $130 which is what Amazon is charging for this case, it is absolutely not worth buying… you can find it for $69 from another seller on Amazon and the only reason to purchase it for that price is if you need a small form factor ATX case and don’t wanna spend a lot because there are better options out there for a similar price. I got a really good deal on an ATX bundle from Micro Center and couldn’t pass it up but originally intended to purchase an ITX motherboard for a home theater PC. This case is cheaply made with 6061 aluminum and the machining is not great, there are sharp edges uncertain parts of the case. The whole case feels like something cheap you would buy on AliExpress. The air flow is not thought out and optimized for cooling the component. I think the Air flow the manufacturer intended is intake from the top and then exhaust at the back, bottom and from the power supply. However, the intended airflow pattern tends to starve the CPU for airflow and the air that the CPU does get has already been heated up by the graphics card. The best balanced airflow I could find after trial and error with a peerless assassin air cooler is cooling with intake and exhaust zones. What I mean by this is intake from the back for the CPU and exhaust through the bottom and power supply. Then, for the graphics card one fan intake and one fan exhaust from the top, so kind of a convection pattern. Doing the airflow the way i’ve done it is problematic from a dust point of view because there is no dust filter on the back intake, feeding the air to the CPU. But in any event for $130 this is absolutely not worth it as there are better compact ATX cases out there for cheaper like the Vetroo AL-MESH-7C.

I like the material, even if the MoBo it's upside down I don't see a problem with this format. The included fan is a little noisy but not too much; The real problem with noise is that you need to adjust all the bolts or add foam between metal pieces, I added Noctua NA-SAV2 fan screws which improved the noise from fans.The real problems with this case are the lack of USB-C in the front panel (minor annoyance, but fair for the price), more importantly, the lack of space around the PSU. You see, the motherboard is too close to the front, I would say even if nominally the case is ATX is better to use a smaller form factor for MoBos. I had to unmount the bottom and the front to manage cables and connect cables properly, making it a little too cumbersome to work with. The most annoying part was leaving cables connecting to the PSU clearly in a mess, as the space is not enough to do anything with the mess. I would like more space in the back of the MoBo because connecting the SSD there was too tight for an angled cable.I would prefer a bigger case in the future, but if you have an M-ATX and more patience you will have a good-looking CPU.
