" ... Nice case and well designed and built. ... "

" ... really nice small, cheap case. ... it will fit some MATX motherboards with roughly the same dimensions as a BIOSTAR H81MHV3 and you can fit some thinner double slot graphics cards in the pcie16x slot (you will not be able to mount some 3.5" drive by doing that). ... "

" ... This is a great case. ... "

" ... This is a good case. ... "

" ... The only CON I would recommend considering would be the size of the case itself. ... "

" ... Very study build ... "

" ... The case is well spaced for how small the case is. ... Because of this the design and feature sets of the case are great. ... Note, while all the screws are supposed to be tooless, I found I needed a screwdriver to initially back them out of the case. ... "

" ... This case is a beast. ... "

" ... Nice case and well designed and built. ... It is very large so if you don't need or want large look else where. ... "

" ... really nice small, cheap case. ... "

" ... This is a great case. ... I even looks cool with all the lit up led innards. ... "

" ... This is a good case. ... "

" ... One of my favorite Coolermaster cases for itx or matx motherboards. ... "

" ... Ryzen 5 1600x with Hyper TX3 Tower CPU Cooler ... "

" ... Ventilates/cools like a charm. ... "

" ... Speaking of breeze, the natural airflow / cooling that the case provides is a breeze as well and I actually didn’t have to get any extra fans (which you could install if you wanted). ... "

" ... Great airflow --6 fans and cooling on CPU and GPU. ... "

" ... I always admire Cooler Masters Cases. ... "

" ... - Great ventilation, more than I need for my build. ... "

" ... Sure, it does take up a lot of space but it is great. ... The front has two 5.25" bays and two removable 3.5"/2.5" bays. ... and all fit with room to spare. ... "

" ... Plenty of space. ... "

" ... Excellent Case , lots of room. ... "

" ... Everything fit well and plenty of space to fit everything which was important coming from full at case. ... "

" ... The lower storage space is roomy for how small the case is. ... "

" ... easy to work with plenty of room and customizable ... "

Cables

+87%

-13%

" ... Cable management is excellent and air flow could be better but that should not be a problem if you have fans at the front of the case pushing in air. ... "

" ... - Includes 2 fans with very long cables to reach your fan headers wherever they are ... Using a Molex adapter also means you have to run a Molex PSU cable in the already-cramped lower part of the case. ... - A modular power supply is a must, and even at that it is difficult to manage cables. ... The ideal PSU would be modular with "flat" (unshrouded) cables. ... - Since I'm using shrouded PSU cables that barely fit, I didn't see enough reason to use the included zip ties to secure any cabling. ... I figure splitters and Molex adapters cost about the same to make. ... "

" ... Has enough room for everything and good cable management. ... "

" ... Cable management could certainly be improved, but you get what you pay for. ... "

" ... Big interior space, a lot of cable pass through and fastening points. ... "

+97%

-3%

" ... Great case for the price ... "

" ... Totally worth it! ... "

" ... Awesome case for what you pay. ... "

" ... Great case, I would like the fan in the back rgb but you can't argue with the price. ... "

" ... The C700P would be a nice case and worth the money IF they actually included all the parts necessary to rotate the board for the chimney effect setup, but it does not. ... "

" ... Higher quality fans would have fit in well here too for the price. ... "

" ... However, for a price fluctuating around $55 to $60, if you can, spend an additional $20 or $30 more for a better investment. ... "

Ports

front, ports, motherboard, molex, usb ports

+83%

" ... A lot of bays for cooling, HDD, accessories and ports. ... "

" ... Love that the buttons and USB are on the top, so I can set my USB DVD-RW drive with it's short cable right on the case. ... "

" ... I suggest not plugging in the USB 3.0 cable. ... "

" ... The top-mount USB is nice. ... The top USB ports can be seen from your chair and easily plug something in without throwing out your back. ... "

" ... There is no USB-C input which makes me wonder when this case was actually designed. ... At least there are a couple USB 3.0 ports. ... "

+68%

-32%

" ... Surprisingly quiet fans, but so MANY of them! ... "

" ... Still, this case is super quiet. ... "

" ... I wanted my new pc to be small and quiet. ... "

" ... Really great case with lots of airflow, only wish their was a way to minimize the loud sounds of the fans but this case definitely keeps my parts cooled. ... "

" ... All the internals are easy to remove or put back in and the included fans don't make any noise and still move a good amount of air around. ... "

" ... Though I can't use the speed readings for mapping fan curves I can set parameters that can turn on a LED, execute sound file, or shut the system down should the fan speed fall above or below those parameters. ... "

" ... Also, the side panel had some scratches on the bottom, the part that meets the case so it does not interfere with viewing. ... "

" ... The only solution I was left with was to remove the front panel ... "

" ... There is simply not enough ventilation through the front panel. ... "

" ... One side panel was bent at the corner when I received the case. ... "

" ... It took two people to close the back panel. ... "

" ... -Side Panel is dimmed so you can't really see it at night unless you have LEDs. ... -Side panel is a lil bit easy to scratch. ... -Front panel is transparent, but dimmed, you can put LED fans and it will see through and look amazing! ... "

" ... The front Plexi panel really cuts the airflow through the PC, to the point where I feel I should take it off or leave it popped out at the bottom. ... If I could buy a new front panel with vents, I'd jump at the chance. ... "

" ... Also, I've heard that you can buy a fan mount so that you can put a third 120mm fan in the front, but I've found that just using the two mounting points that exist on the front without the mount are enough to support a fan without a problem. ... "
