Its cheap for a reason .. thin mild steel . It's o.k for a itx build , only real drawback is where they placed the 3 pin power socket .. if they had moved it approx 6mm , then a coolermaster lite 120mm would fit in nicely , I had to slacken off the socket , install the cpu liquid cooler and then use longer screws to refit the power socket ( it does slant as it rests on the rad ) .. i like the fact it takes a ATX power supply , Plenty of venting in the case .. i just have the watercooling fan and no other .. the gpu fan is near the vents , so a 2nd fan is not needed .. Overall it is so quiet , I use 2.5" drives as keeps weight down and aids ventilation . There are options as to where to mount and how many . It dropped a star because of the power supply port

For the money, it's an excellent little case. One major gripe I had with it was that the cooling situation is less than ideal; with space for only one exhaust fan. You're also quite limited to choice of CPU coolers, as if you plan to use a 3.5" HDD in the case then you wont be able to use a tower cooler. Another word on the HDD mounting- I can see no way whatsoever to comfortably fit a 3.5" drive on the side mount. There is no room to spare for the SATA connectors and not only that, the IEC extension interferes with it. Also, as you may expect for a chassis that is this compact, there is no cable management whatsoever. Which can make things very difficult for any people using a non-modular power supply. I also think the marketing for this case should be adjusted- as only specific M-ATX boards will fit in here, so please do check the size of your M-ATX board before buying! But with the space concerns, I'd recommend sticking to ITX. But overall, If you had some parts that consumed less power then I'm sure this case would be perfect, but it simply couldn't handle the heat being produced by my i7 2600K.Read full review

Using it as a Nas and had intended to have 3 3.5 inch hard drives in it. The 3rd top mounted HDD won't fit without getting a thinner psu or getting rid of the only case fan. You can still mount 2.5 inch hdds but that's not what I have so I was disappointed at that. All else is good though. Was please try surprised to not have to order a USB 3 to 2 adapter as the built in USB header has both already.

I'm not using this to house a PC, but if I was looking to build a small form factor PC I would certainly be looking at purchasing another of these cases! Being small and well built, I would have no worries about it housing the components. It's also quite pleasing on the eye as well, in it's all black finish so if you want something that's going to blend in with other black boxes, this is for you. In my case I've used it to build a CNC controller setup into and again chose it on the looks, to make the finished product look professional.

Considering it's low price the case is very well made. Loads of space inside even though it is a very small case compared to a standard atx case. I'm using it as a home media server but it has the full potential to take a nice size graphics card with full size atx power supply so could easily be a mini itx gaming rig. Plenty of hard drive space, it holds two 3.5" and two 2.5" drives at the same time but I'm sure with a bit of playing around you could get more in. It's not the nicest looking case out there but it's simple to look at. I'm more than happy with it, plus it's in a cupboard anyway. Would definitely recommend it as a mini itx case.
