If you are looking for a beautiful minimalist case this is for you!

Before buying this case I was unsure what to think about it because of little coverage aboutit on the internet (like youtube or reviews) so I'll attempt to go a little in-depth so that it is as helpful as can be. Don't let the lack of hype around this case on the internet fool you or you will pass by a great looking case.

Don't let the lack of hype around this case on the internet fool you or you will pass by a great looking case.

I love the minimalist design. The smoky tempered glass side panel is beautiful. What's even better is that you get tempered glass on the front. While the front panel is NOT see-through (it is plain black), just the fact that it has a tempered glass finish I think makes it look even more beautiful and sleek than plain black plastic or steel front panel as most cases are (even more expensive cases like the NZXT H510i/NZXT H710). I challenge you to find another case with a tempered glass front finish at this price point. It looks great, sleek and is not a case that takes up a lot of space compared to other mid-towers. I have a decent mid tower at work (Cooler Master MasterBox MB600L - this is a well reviewed and more expensive case but it is simply bigger dimension wise to the Gigabyte C200 and the side panel is only acrylic and not tempered glass) and the dimensions of this Gigabyte C200 case is a little smaller). You also get a subtle rgb RGB light on the front panel which is a nice sublte bonus. You can let it cycle colours or you can choose your own (of the small selection) via a button on the top.

I haven't done any deep tests on cooling but I have had no issues. If this is of particular concern for you I suspect you that you might have to look for another case that might have a mesh front panel. With the Gigabyte C200 you have minimal intake vents on the side of the front panel, however you do have the traditional top vents, rear vent and PSU vent. The top vent has a typical magnetic filter which a neat addition.

Cable management in the back side panel and in the PSU shroud is a little tight, but there is room and you can make it fit. I personally wouldn't want more room as I like the overall dimensions of the case and wouldn't the overall size bigger just for cable management room.

My only gripe is that it doesn't come with rubber grommets for the cutouts inside the case which I have seen in other photos.

The biggest win for this case is its value! I got it as one of the cheapest mid tower cases available and I challenge you to find another case at this price range with a side tempered glass panel and front tempered glass finish.

I often wondered why people call this simply a good entry level case. I think it's a beautiful case for more than just the beginner pc builder. At the moment I am finding little to no competition for cases with minimal sleek aesthetics all the way up to the $200 pricepoint easily. I think it's easy to look past this case because it is affordable but I like it way better than some grotesque more expensive designs that I can see will not stand the test of time.

I specifically was looking for a modern, cheap but good looking case that had a tempered glass side panel. In the end I ended up having to choose between this or the Phanteks P300/P300A (An incredibly well reviewed case and has a lot of info out there on Youtube especially compared to the Gigabyte C200). In the end I chose because they were similar in terms of their features, but the Gigabyte C200 simply looked better based on photos., After sitting with this case for a couple of months now I have absolutely no regrets. I think this case looks amazing and when I see P300 builds I think they look cheap (ones that you expect to see at internet cafes.)

To go one step further, the reason I am writing this review is that I cannot find a case to upgrade to that I like better. I am currently scoping out a better looking and more premium case (more expensive) as I am looking to build a new PC. I am really struggling to find such a case. The only thing I can find that compete with it is probably the NZXT H510 Elite because it has similar dimensions and I am sold on the tempered glass look, but its front tempered glass panel is see-through unlike this case which is not. However, at double the price I do not think the NZXT H510 Elite looks twice as good as this case. You are really only paying extra for the NZXT H510 Elite for the RGB fans included (It is pretty much a Gigabyte C200 with a clear front tempered glass panel and RGB fans).

To sum up, the Gigabyte C200 is an excellent case! I am totally sold on the minimalist look with straight lines, the tempered glass side panel and the tempered glass finish front panel. I am finding real difficulty finding anything wrong with it. It looks as good as it does in the photos. If you have even one RGB item such as just your CPU cooler I think your set up would look amazing already. I am finding it very hard to look for a more expensive case which actually looks better. Even though I am planning a higher spec PC build I might even just by this affordable case because it looks so good.

Pretty dope case ngl
Tempered glass, a fair amount of room for cable management and room for up to six fans makes this case still pretty decent for even those with a higher budget
Kinda sucks that you can't put the brackets back on onc you remove them but if you really wanted you could just tape them back on
The RGB button can be a little sticky at times, but overall this is a pretty good case Pretty dope case ngl

Bought one of these to get back into PC building. Hard to beat for the price. Easy to manage cables, and RGB isn't over the top.

Was impressed enough to go back for another one for a second build. Bought one of these to get back into PC building. Hard to beat for the price. Easy to manage cables, and RGB isn't over the top.

Great to fit my I5 machine into. Only problem with these days new cases they no longer have any 5.25” optical drive bays available. Looks like I'll have to go external and use USB.

Pros. Handsome case. Understated RGB. Appearance wise just nice all around.

Cons. Only comes with one fan, 120mm in exhaust. When considering the cost of adding 2 to 4 fans, this case isn't that cheap any more.
Cheap build quality. Metal is soft. PCIe covers are punch out.
Poor airflow. Despite what they say, very little air is making it in the front. I have 4 140mm fans in this case, and my GPU temp drops like 20c when I take the side panel off.
Bad front panel design. Removing the front panel takes a bit of effort, and the RGB wire is very short and fragile. I ended up having to solder the connector back together. The PCB they use als...view more Pros. Handsome case. Understated RGB. Appearance wise just nice all around.

Bad front panel design. Removing the front panel takes a bit of effort, and the RGB wire is very short and fragile. I ended up having to solder the connector back together. The PCB they use also interferes with possible fan placement in the front, but you'd get no airflow at all if you mounted the fans in the front panel anyway.
Riveted HDD cage. This made it very, very difficult to fit my older PSU. I upgraded with RTX 3000, and the newer one was much shorter. YMMV.

Once built, it is a perfectly functional and nice looking case, but I will be upgrading out of airflow concerns alone.

I have had this case for a month now and i love its sleek design and good cable management I have had this case for a month now and i love its sleek design and good cable management

It looks good and feels good, has lots of features that usually only come on more expensive cases. However the airflow isn’t great, and the front panel, whilst it is glass you actually can’t see through it so if you have nice fans they won’t be visible from the front It looks good and feels good, has lots of features that usually only come on more expensive cases.

Great mid tower case for the price there's a lot of space however the HDD storage trays did not come with the PC when i bought it Great mid tower case for the price there's a lot of space however the HDD storage trays did not come with the PC when i bought it

Overall this is a really nice looking case. Nice glass, sleek appearance. RGB is alright. Comes with 1 fan. But getting my modular PSU in was a bit of a nightmare, because unfortunately, you can't (easily) move the drive mounts for whatever reason. So it took a good half an hour for me to rearrange my cables and eventually slot my PSU in there, and it's quite tight. I think a non-modular PSU would be almost impossible to fit in this case, depending on its overall size. This would be a near perfect entry level case if you could move the drive bays.

Super stylish clean looking tower. Lovely glass side panel which shows off the interior nicely without being too outrageous Super stylish clean looking tower. Lovely glass side panel which shows off the interior nicely without being too outrageous
