Cheap, decent case.
I recently built a system using this case recently with the following hardware:CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D (Noctua NH-U12S Heatsink)GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 3080 10GBRAM: 32GB DDR4-3200SSD: 256GB WD Black & 4TB Crucial P3HDD: 8TB Seagate ExosPSU: eVGA 850W Gold Modular PSUEtc: 5 1/4 LG BD-ROM/DVD+RWThe hardware all fit well, but do be aware that you don’t have terribly much clearance for a CPU heatsink: The Noctua NH-U12S has a clearance of *maybe* 1 to 2 mm below the side panel. A modular PSU would also be of benefit as there’s not much space to route cabling.I replaced the 120mm exhaust fan with a Noctua one, and also installed on as an intake. The CPU idles around 30C and will hit 75C under a 100% load stress test. The GPU (A blower style card, which helps) idles around the same and never exceeds 80C under a stress test. Overall, I was very pleased with the temperatures in the case.The lack of side windows and RGB lighting may be off-putting to some, but that was one of the main reasons I bought it. Very subdued and nice design.

Good for DIY NAS with small addition
I bought this to crest a cheap DIY NAS/media server. Fit a mini-itx board, full size PSU and GPU easily. The only issue I had was that I bought 4 HDDs and the case only contains 3 3.5â bays. Thankfully the 5.5â CD drive bay is open and can easily be converted with a $5 plastic adapter also sold on this fine site. The side panels are a little thought to get on when crammed full of cables but the included fan runs silent and the case stays cool and clean with a nice dual layer mesh front panel. Very good for the money.

Great case for the price. Arrived damaged.
Arrived damaged (bent frame) and missing one of the rubber legs. Not worth a return given my remote location. QC could be better.Other than that the case is well built and does everything its supposed to do.

Great case for the price. One important tip…
This is a solid and well designed box for Micro-ATX boards. Really it is not lacking anything important that the super expensive cases have so you won’t feel like you are stuck with a budget build. As long as it has the features I need and is well built then I am happy.The only tip I would recommend is to buy at least a partially or fully modular power supply. This box is tight inside and a non modular supply has way too many wires to stuff into this.

Great for a small NAS
Hard to find a micro ATX with HDD trays anymore. This one didn’t disappoint. It’s a low cost case that has plenty of hard drive bays ( I installed additional trays below the existing ones and I have 6 HDD in this case )Is this the highest quality case out there? Of course not. It’s a budget case. Really happy with mine.

Small micro ATX case, and cramped, but looks good for office use.
Silverstone is about all you can find anymore for small, micro towers, that don’t have glass and RGB lighting. This case is good for office use builds, and the material quality is not all that bad for the price. It does have a removable front dust filter, and I was even able to cram a huge Scythe Mugen 5 in it.

Great case for a low TDP CPU build
Since it doesn’t have top or side vents, and only a 120mm front and rear fan mounts, building a system with a Ryzen CPU that has a 65W TDP, you could install a 120mm AIO inside the front panel with a Phanteks T30x120 fan, and a 2nd 120mm X 25mm fan underneath the front cover for a push/pull configuration through the radiator. It comes with a stock fan on the rear exhaust, but could be upgraded to another T30 fan. I used this case for an older CPU build using an Intel Core i7-2600 CPU that I had laying around, and put on a Thermaltake air cooler, a Noctua NF-P12 Redux front panel fan (underneath the front panel cover), and kept the stock rear exhaust fan. This case has lots of room for drives, and cable-management, and is small enough for what I need it to do. I highly recommend this case.

Kinda disappointed…
The case looks pretty cool in my opinion and it is quiet but I have some issues with it.Firstly the stand-off mounts are slightly off-center so installing my micro atx motherboard was a bit of a hassle.The entire case is made of aluminum and plastic. The aluminum is a bit of an issue as this case is flimsy, bends and dents very easily. The plastic bits are perfectly fine though.The front IO buttons work perfectly fine, no issues on my end.Top mount power supply is not optimal!Also cable management was the most excruciatingly torturous endeavor in computer building I have ever experienced, if you go with this case BUY A MODULAR POWER SUPPLY!For the money I spent, I wouldn’t recommend as there are better options out there. If you desire early 2000’s retro aesthetic or meeting office computing needs without all the RGB and tempered glass I suggest you look elsewhere, but maybe mine is just a lemon.
