Cheap cost, but works well for building a cheap kids gaming PC. Odd having the power button USB panel on the side, but it's just a cosmetic thing, and also movable so that's cool.

I had some old parts laying around and my son wanted a gaming computer. So, I went around looking for a case to stuff all this stuff into that was nice looking and quality. He was given the following:Intel G4600Asus B250M-K8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2133XFX RX560 4GBWe were just using parts that were laying around and acquired from friends, so we don't have anything fancy here or any crazy RGB lighting or color schemes. Just a budget-minded micro-atx build for a budget case.The design on the dust filters is pretty nice, it's not fooling anyone and you can tell it's just a design on a filter, but it does a good job of looking the part and appearing more exquisite than it is. The dust filters cover the top, front, and the bottom of the case and are simply attached by magnets. It's so easy to pop them off and clean them, literally in seconds. It's a very refreshing change to most cases with poorly designed and hard to access dust filters.Airflow is amazing. The entire case is open on the exterior and the only thing covering the holes is the dust filters. A front mounted radiator would work great for water-cooling. You could also mount smaller radiators on the bottom or rear. In my particular case, I do not think I could get a 240 radiator to span the top without interfering with the CPU cooler, but a 120 would fit fine if positioned at the front.The USB ports on the side are a nice touch and can be positioned on any of the 4 sides of the case. The only hiccup with doing that is the wiring must follow the ports wherever they go. So, you have to plan ahead so the wiring doesn't get in your way, for instance the wiring may block the mounting of a large radiator if positioned in the front.Wiring is easy and there is plenty of room to cram your cables out of view. I'm using a non-modular PSU and I was able to hide all the unused wires just fine. There are also nice spots to mount your drives on the backside of the case.The window is tinted and a little dark. I do not have any lighting in the case yet, but it's difficult to see inside when there is not good lighting the room. I'll definitely be adding a small light bar to bring it to life. If you have RGB fans and components though you should be fine. The window is not glass and thus it scratches easily. The tinted nature makes it hard to see the scratches at viewing distance though, but that's just the nature of these windows. Unless you're gonna drop money on a glass case it's just something you have to live with.Another small little touch is you can stand the case up like you normally would, but they also included rubber feet on the back-side of the case. So, you can actually lay the case down flat if you wish and have the window facing up for everyone to view inside the case as they walk by.Honestly, I'm just really impressed for $40. It's not made of gold or anything, but it's just well designed and good quality for this price range. It's also a nice looking case that would look nice anywhere in the house, even the girlfriend or wife won't get mad if this is in the living room. I definitely plan on using it the next time I build a PC for a customer.

Pros:-price-transparent tinted side panel-fits a lot-lots of room for cable management-Looks pretty goodCons:-the marked fan holes for 120mm fans on the front and top are too small for fan screws-the "front" io USB 3 header is too short-front io feels flimsy with tight audio ports-front IO screws strip easily-case is a little thin and bends a lot during fan install-no rubber grommets for cable management-no PSU shroud-only comes with 1 3pin fan-only fits up to 157mm CPU coolerOverall I'm happy with the look of the case and how well all my components fit. USB 3.0 connector is INCREDIBLY stiff and much too short. I had to move the IO to the top from the front so that I could route the cords behind the mobo side without hitting fans, only to find out it was too short to do that, or even tie down anywhere. That is partially because my mobo has a bottom USB 3 header instead of side, but it wouldn't have mattered if the chord were longer.Additionally, the case fan screw holes supposedly have these half or quarter circles indented around them, but if you us the ones marked for 120mm fans, the screws will NOT fit in the hole without modification. This wasn't a huge deal for me since all of the vent holes are otherwise the perfect size, just make sure you line up the fans so that you can put a screw in all 4 corners of the fan. Supposedly this can fit a 240mm radiator but I'd be concerned about that lining up with usable screw holes.The instructions are pretty bare bones and are terrible at indicating which screws are for what part of the case. If you have troubles figuring out the standoff screws or which screws to use where, I'd recommend looking up a video review for this case on YouTube to see. Also make sure you use the standoffs for your motherboard as mine did not need all the mATX standoffs that the case has marked and would have had standoffs shorting out the motherboard.The front (really side) IO is moveable, but mine came with screws that stripped incredibly easily. I don't think I'll be able to move the front IO again and successfully remount without finding replacement screws if I could even get them out at this point. Do your best to find a screwdriver bit that fits the screws perfectly and you will probably be fine to move it, just be careful to avoid striping them.This case would have looked tons better with rubber grommets for cable management and a PSU shroud. Since it is a budget case, customers are less likely to have fully modular power supplies and those extra cables would be out for all to see in this case. Granted, it is a tinted side panel and not fully clear, but if you want to add RGB lighting to spice up this case, get a modular PSU.Lastly, for having so much openness for airflow, its a shame its only comes with one fan that's also only 3pin not PWM.This case has awesome space for cable management behind the motherboard. Rgb fans on the case look great on the inside and show up from the outside really well. The dust filters are a nice addition and the fact that the back panel thumb screws double as rubber feet means you can put this case flat if you want to. It's got a lot of features packed into a small budget friendly form factor but isn't without its flaws. Worked well for me on a budget, though if my budget were a little higher I would have gone with an NZXT H500i or H400.
