Revainrating 4 out of 5

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

In general, I am satisfied with the case. I don't know if I would take it now for that kind of money. I got it at a discount for 5-6k. This money is definitely worth it. Many complain about the front USB and audio connectors. It's unexpected to hear this. Several times a day, for a year and a half, I have been pulling earplugs. So far, no problem. USB ports are also quietly used. Both 2.0 and 3.0 The lack of backlighting is a plus for me personally, walking many would probably be happy with this. Although, I would not refuse this, but only if it is possible to turn it off.

Pros
  • 4 USB on the front panel (2.0 and 3.0) Reusable and disposable ties included Relatively easy to organize cable management Quiet enough Strong A complete set of all kinds of screws, rubber bands for mounting hard drives and other components Lots of 3.5 and 2.5 drive bays. The front door, if desired, can be transplanted to other hinges to open it in the other direction. Or take it off altogether. 2 optical drive bays. The plugs do not break out, but are removed in one motion. If desired, they can be easily returned. Smooth and pleasant metal, to cut yourself when assembling a computer, you have to try Strict minimalistic design
Cons
  • One light for Power and HDD indicators. By the way, it shines too brightly. At night, this constant flickering blue light is very disgusting. This is perhaps the most striking minus of this case. All I think is to solder the resistor, but my hands do not reach. I would like another turntable for blowing in front in the kit. The turntable speed controller has only 3 modes of operation. There is no way to smoothly adjust the intensity of the propellers. Disabling them completely, at the touch of a button, is also, unfortunately, impossible.
