No complaints!

Very good value at this price point - particularly given the inclusion of two very quiet case fans.

Fantasic budget case

Feels and looks higher end than it should for the price. Easy to assemble for PCI, power etc, but a bit fiddly getting the cables through to the board from the power supply tunnel. So allow a bit of extra time. Has plenty of options for radiator mounting.

Quiet compared to the old case.

Only has the two USB 3 ports on the front would be my only complaint.

Clean lines, Easy Setup

Cable management is easy, plenty space for components.
Airflow is a little restriction, though it's not a problem for lower power components.

Stylish and Super Quiet

Colour: White

Wanted a stylish case that would be quiet as it would be in a bed room. The case fans are super quiet and keeps the PC nice and cool. It doesn't have lots of USB ports on the front.

Awesome budget price, but high end features.

With this case not having a glass side panel saves some of the cost, but with this saving the package includes multiple pieces of hardware for various different set ups you may have. It is very quiet and with the 2 large included fans, keeps cool at the same time.
