Worth every penny
One of the best cases for a budget to mid level build.Good air flow.Decent fans preinstalled.Ample cutouts for cable management.Build quality not so good, but not bad either. As long as you're not wrestling with your case this will get your job done. Might seem a bit flimsy. But compared to other cases in this price range it's pretty decent.Grey tinted glass panel. Gives a nice look to the setup.Comes with rgb controlled and lots of space inside the back panel.Has psu shroud.Has easy to install mounting racks for storage.Beware though of the packaging. It comes in a very bad packaging and amazon hasn't done a good job with the packaging in this product.

Best Case In This Range.
Case Is good lots of space for cable management, Case Has 3 fans on the front with RGB & 1 at the back but they are not that much good, I think they are just for Decoration they only make case looks good. there's good Room for PSU, ventilation on Top & Bottom So you can just take off the metal forgery and clean the dust. But there are some cons like when installing GPU when you have to remove the back shield it could damage your mobo, and The Stand That you have to put HDD & SSD is not good, I face so much difficulty while installing HDD in That Storage Stand. And other small problems that's not worth motioning. But whereas The Case is Good. Its Worth your money

Best cabinet for beginners
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Got the best for this price. It has a rgb controller so that we can use it with motherboard that doesn't support rgb. Even the ventilation is also good and it is also very spacious. It also comes with good packaging. Also the manual is also very good and this cabinet is the best for beginners.

Price factor
Giving three stars because of price, this case is not worth for 6.3k. case is good no doubt in that but price is too damn high, check md computers you can get this for almost 2k less than this.

Case with flaw in design.. rest all good
Excellent cabinet with one flaw. Front fans are for display only. It does not do any good to push air. Buy at your risk

Superb for the money, very impressed
I've been building PCs for about 30 years and have done lots in that time. This is without doubt the easiest Mini ITX case I've used. Cable management is excellent, there's plenty of room to manoeuvre, and airflow is very good. I didn't use the supplied fans, but replaced them with Noctua 200mm and 2x 80mm PWM fans. I have also ordered some magnetic dust filters as this case has lots of openings and as well as keeping dust at bay, it should help slightly with noise.The paint job is pretty good, there's not much in the way of sharp edges, either. The case can easily fit a full size ATX PSU, but this will eat into your cable management space in the bottom of the case.I built this as a home NAS and have managed to squeeze in 4x 3.5" drives, 2 in the supplied brackets, one in the floor panel and one to the left of the motherboard, the latter two had to have custom mountings made, but it's turned out well.With regard to cooling, I fitted a Noctua NH-C14S with the fan on top, there's just about room for this and I will probably end up changing the window panel to the left side and the perforated panel on top for the fan to draw cool air in.Overall, very impressed and really wasn't expecting to be.

Still a best buy
Bought two black version about two years ago, and purchased 2 'Snow' versions recently. These cases for the price are that good! There are now upgrade versions of this design at an approximately £15 price increase - not sure the improvements are worth the extra cost. I looked at other mITX cases and this one still win me over - too many mITX cases have hellishly bad air-flow for 65 to 95C TDP CPUs, imo.For an mITX new build these cases are very hard to beat as you can remove all the panels and use initially as a de facto wire frame give easy access and fitting to components etc. Very big plus.There are two niggles with the case:(a) Hard Drive attachment is fiddly but does seem to yield quiet drives (if mechanical).(b) The 200mm front fan is 3-pin and runs at a constant 800 rpm.The latter is the most concern, however two years ago getting 4-pin PWM 200mm fan was extremely rare. nowadays there are about half a dozen replacements available, one of which is PWM (at a cost of £25!). The solution is to add simple a fan controller that lowers the voltage to the fan (this requires a bit of modding). Was disappointed that the upgraded re-designed case doesn't do this.That said on my black versions which have been running for two years there is little dust ingression into the case. The dust/foam in front of the 200mm fan does an excellent job of preventing dust getting onto components albeit at the cost of a bit of hoovering now and then. Note, most of the fan noise is actually due to the dust/form filter rather than the fan itself. Surprisingly the dust filter on the PSU also does a good job and clearly required. I have not found the two 80mm fan slots on the back to be of much use - no overclocking - as the front 200mm creates enough positive pressure to make any 80mm a bit redundant. The unit does get noisier over time, due to fan wear and dust - you can't remove the front dust/foam filter so cleaning is only ever partial.One disappointment is that on the 'Snow' case the 200mm fan was the standard black in colour - there are white ones and even LED replacement ones available - and of course there are no white mITX motherboards. I did however feel that the 'Snow' had a little extra quality in the metal thickness and bits-and-bobs (more than plenty) that come with the case. Maybe mistaken but that was the impression.One improvement over the older black cases I have is that the four base stands are better quality, older ones had very cheap plastic which could easily be broken with poor care.If Thermaltake could add a LED front fan and speed control then an extra £15 would be well worth it, as is there redesign to this case is minor, so I stuck with the older design. £35 or thereabouts is very good value.Note: there are some motherboards that allow direct voltage control of a 3-pin fan. The 200mm can drop to 50% minimum and I have found anything under 75% is super quiet if not near silent (very handy when not gaming).Oh and a small benefit is that these types of cases are very easy to stack under a desk!

Best mATX case however read review!
Positives -It's really well built! Not just for the price but overall. I purchased one from Scan around 3-4 weeks ago for myself and I was so impressed that I bought another from Amazon for my son. His mobo is mIXT however we're about to start upgrading his components shortly so we binned his Fractal Node 304 in favour of this. The 304 was a fantastic buy however these cases make the Node's look pretty cheap. I toyed with getting the newer 804 Node however the build looks the same as what it was for the 304 and we've had that one 7+ years.It's basically a modular case which means you can move things about or strip it down as much as you want. I've seen people say it's a bit bigger than they expected however it gives the dimensions etc so I don't get that gripe. We stripped out the 3.5 drive bays as they weren't needed.I've also seen some complain about the cheap plastic feel to the buttons. Again I don't get it. Not saying they aren't however they aren't any different from most of the cases I've had.NegativesThese are really trivial. The first purchase from Scan came with a power lead. The second one direct from Amazon didn't. No biggie really. The other thing I'd have loved is if they'd made either this case or another mATX around 20% smaller. Sure further up in the review I mentioned dimmensions etc however I love small form factor cases. Now I have this built with everything in I still have an incredible amount of space left. As such, for me this case could have been smaller. But sure that's just personal preference based on the fact I have mine in my lounge.Still for the price and build, you'll struggle to find anything better!

Good case, good value, but won't fit 4 drives
So this is a very good case for the money - very good value. It's nice, bright, will laid out, and very easy to build, providing you lots of room for arranging your board and components, as well as lots of room for the power supply.The layout is also very roomy, so your components will run nice and cool - loads of room for heat dissipation, and very well ventilated.So why the 4 star instead of a 5 star rating?Simply because it does not fit 4 disks as advertised. I have managed to fit in 2x2.5 drives and 2x3.5 drives, but the 2.5 drives can only be secured on one side (no brackets or screw holes for the other side). The layout of the disk mounts also means you can't screw the small disks in properly from the back side of the mount, effectively only allowing you to use the front of the mount, therefore only securing 2 drives properly.You can work around this, but you have to do it yourself, by getting a bracket that fits. And that is a tight fit.Apart from this, it's a very good case for a micro server or a compact gaming PC. Also comes with all the screws you'll need to install components.

Bigger than I expected, roomy inside with easy access
It was easy to gain access to install motherboard etc as all the sides come off if you need to. It takes a full size PSU (I am using a 550w quiet PSU with a lot of power cables and the bobx has no problem accommodating them all.I do not have any PCi components in yet but there is no problem at all with space. I have 4 sticks of RAM and they are easily accessible and I have filled the 3 removable bay units with 2 x 3.5 HDD and 1 x SSD and I have also fitted an additional SSD without issue.Looks nice, runs quiet,, both CPU and HDD/SSD temps are kept very low rarely going above 32degrees so the air circulation is more than adequate and I am only using the CPU heatsink and fan and the chassis fan fitted to the front of the unit. My PC is kept on around 20 hours a day.I had expected it to be a little more compact though I must admit. I had hoped to keep on my desk but as it is a tad larger than expected, it sits on top of a small filing cabinet at the side. Either way, much better looking and quieter than the gaming tower I had previously.
