" ... Love the case! ... "
" ... This case is great for a budget build. ... The case came with a few small dents, but can be overlooked. ... "
" ... I needed a good case that would be simple to paint. ... I now have an awesome bronze and galvanized looking case. ... "
" ... This case allows for easy installation of components alright, but the case is fabricated from thin and highly malleable (soft) steel. ... "
" ... Overall, the case does exactly what it needs to do. ... The other thing is, I felt like the decorative plastic grates beneath the clear shell would snap as I was removing them to install the fans and AIO. ... "
" ... It is possible, though, and there are points spread around the compartment to use zip ties. ... "
" ... Cable management could be better around the storage card slots but other than that cable management is great and quality of the case feel sturdy. ... "
" ... Great replacement case for the low dollar build - I wish I had 25 words to say but I guess I will just not do any more reviews ... "

" ... The 3.0 and audio connections are solid. ... "
" ... The rubber plugs for the usb and audio are a nice feature. ... "
" ... I'm so glad this has 2x 2.0 USB ports to make installing Windows 7 much more tolerable as using the 3.0 USB ports in the back would not work with my MSI B350M motherboard. ... "

" ... Its like a tiny version of my beast gaming rig which is an Eatx V71 case. ... I stream with my current rig just fine, but some games i play and attempt to stream utilize about the same amount of processing power as my OBS does, which doesn't work out to well. ... "
" ... This case isn’t winning any contests for looks or durability but it is a solid case for a mid level gaming rig. ... "
