Decent price point.. Not so good with ARGB..
By Victor on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2023
Great looking case even though its an older model. I really wanted the C32 but couldn't find it anywhere. I have a 280mm AIO sitting on the top of the chassis but it was a very tight fit because it was much wider than the 240mm . I don't recommend going with a 280mm AIO for this chassis because you'll find yourself struggling to mount it with DDR Ram sitting in the way. I tried installing it with the RAM removed but then I couldn't get the ram into the slots with radiator and fans mounted. Stay with 240MM or even a 360MM AIO because they're slimmer and easier to mount on top. The ARGB controller board in the rear is best suited for 5V ARGB headers because going with an RGB converter can be a hassle if your MB only uses 12V RGB headers. I had to mod the wiring for all the fans and flair. Speaking of which.. be forewarned.. the speed of the 200mm fans in the front CANNOT be controlled. They'll run at full speed all the time and can be very noisy but I found a youtube video explaining how to create modded wiring in order to be able to control fan speed and it worked out nicely. The RIG runs quietly now under normal loads. With all the fans properly daisy chained and (with the modded wiring to connect them to the ARGB controller board in the back the ARGB button on the front panel does offer a decent set of options for addressable lighting but its NOT FULLY addressable. There's only about two dozen or so options for lighting the fans and if your MB doesn't have 5V ARGB headers then you might be stuck with only that like I was because the MB in there is a MSI B550 Gaming Gen 3 and doesn't have 5V headers. Overall it's a great chassis. I do recommend it if you're looking for something with options for ARGB setups.

Poor quality and basic design
By Anthony on Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2019
I gave this case 3 out of 5 stars because its great for air flow and I have a 9700k . The case would've been better if it was taller. One of the rubber grips on one of the legs came off and had to stick it back on. One of the stands for the screw holes in the case came off and got stuck to the screw while I was unscrewing the motherboard from case to remount it in a better position. The dust filter is attached to front panel so you cant clean it separately and the plastic on it is very cheap. Im not sure how easy it is to clean the dust filter but it looks as if you mess it up, youll basically mess up the front panel visually. The glass panel on the side doesn't fit perfectly. The HDD slots in the case should've been compatible with more fans since this is an airflow case. Noone shows off HDDs anyway so not sure why they even put the slots next to the motherboard for display. Definitely could've been a bigger and better case all around especially for 100+ dollars. Doesn't even have rubber to cover the holes where the wires go through. To make cable management look cleaner. They do pre-manage the front panel cables for you though, so thats good. The front panel looks very basic. The two fans in front are barely bright enough to see through dust filter. The 3.0 cable had a faulty pin hole which bent one of the pins on my brand new motherboard. I had to take a sewing needle and force open the hole the hdmi 3.0 cable because it was almost closed shut which caused the pin on motherboard to bend. Just a very cheap and lazy attempt. Overpriced. Wouldve been good for 50 bucks tax included. I like it but not enough to recommend it for 100+. Maybe if youre components are hot and its 50 bucks this is great. If not, go for coolmaster h500m. I should've gotten that instead. Also, buttons on front panel feel super cheap. Its ridiculously cheap. They couldve fit a couple of usb 2.0s in the front panel for more outlets. Not sure why they cheaped out. I pointed out all the downsides but this is still a decent case, just not for the price. If you want good airflow and dont care about the downsides, then go for it.
