Follow up after completing build of PC LawrenceS88

Colour: Black

Ok, so as a case this is a pretty good looking case and could be functional for a smaller build only and besides that the PB Tech should have warned me as I also bought the MB, PSU and cooler at the same time the case is too compact for my build. I didn't want to purchase a big box due to price, but I should have gone that way and still might later on. I mean besides the additional one VERY BIG design floor in my eyes and another issue of limited cable management space at the back the case would suit a smaller MB ideally. I have a ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-F GAMING WIFI ATX Form, For Intel 12th Gen CPU, LGA1700,Z690, PCIE 5.0, 4XDDR5 Dimm and...view more

Bit of a disappointment

Colour: Black

Usually I would give this 5 starts until I installed a 360 watercooler from CoolMaster, Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite ML360L. The Fan space in front is not deep enough to take the fans and the fan screws and the dust cover. Basically the problem is twofold. The second been the CoolMaster fan screws, "screwcap" is too high and does not allow for the flush mounting of the dust screen as the screw caps push/rub the screen and leaves a gap on the bottom edge. Ok so you would say this is a Coolmaster issue and yes, but also the Chassis fan housing is too shallow. Another 5 mm would have been enough to cater for all types of fan/water coolers, so...view more

Good case shame about the non 4pin PWM fans

Colour: Black

This a great case for the money. Good build quality and look to it. But there are a number of shortcomings and cost cutting exercises, which really spoils it. 1. All the fans are only 3 pin fans, not 4 pin PWM. Which basically means on my motherboard they are running at 100%. (i.e. not quiet). Be quieter was the whole purpose of me buying this case. Now to make it quiet I need to buy 4 pin fans and then just get rid of these, what a waste. Taking the glass side panel off is a pain and you could easily drop it, also captive screws would have been handy. The rear two (captive screws) for the rear side panel are difficult to align with the holes...view more

Great White Atx case with Airflow

Colour: White

Was trying to decide on a white colored case for my build and decided to get this from the great reviews online. Comes with 3x 140mm fans, moving the top exhaust fan to the front creates the best setup for internal Temps. Case is more of a very light grey then pure white, but looks very good with the rgb running. 3seconds push on the top led button converts it from case controlled to motherboard controlled argb leds. On the large side so would fit most setups, would recommend.
