Reviews
Overall, this is a good case I can say
I saw many people say no fan at all and without a fan, the price is. Yeah, true, however, some cases with fans come with defective fans, so I guess this is a better option. I liked the design and the way it is made. Overall, it is a good case, I must say I might buy it again if I need something like this. The only problem I have is: the metal is kind, not strong enough in some areas, probably to make it lightweight. It is a reasonable tradeoff, I guess.
The OK case for the price may require a custom cooling config
So I don't like that it doesn't come with any fans. I was surprised when I opened it up and found none. I went back and read the entire Amazon listing and did find in the question section someone asked if it came with fans and the answer was NO, but the listing sure does not make that clear and makes it look like it does in the pictures. In retrospect, I think it probably makes more sense for them not to because you need specialty fans to get the best cooling here, and if they'd added those, the price would have been significantly higher. I explain below.
As to the people saying their hardware gets hot, I suspect the main difference is what you are running and the type of fans you have. If you are running a brand new micro-atx motherboard/CPU and a big GPU, you aren't likely to see a big heat issue if you tune and face all your fans CORRECTLY. I would suggest however 3 - HIGH PRESSURE 140mm fans for the 3 front intake fans because the glass front obstructs direct airflow to them. High-pressure fans will pull more air through the slits between the glass front and the case than a standard fan will. A standard fan will flow more air, but it can't pull or push air well against restrictions. The difference in the fan is just the blade width. The wider the fan blade, the higher the pressure the fan can transmit. I use Fractal High-pressure fans.
I specifically bought this case for its E-ATX capabilities. I am running a dual CPU server/workstation motherboard, and I can attest that this thing heats up quickly with this setup. For this price point and case size, I can live with managing the heat situation, but it's certainly not exceptional for a case. The biggest issue I have faced and it's worth noting is that if you are running an E-ATX board, the TOP COOLING FANS WILL BE PARTIALLY OBSTRUCTED. This means you will need to purchase slim 15mm thick fans (120mm or 140mm) if you want to use the top fan mounts. There are not very many choices here, and mostly they are not cheap.
The design is otherwise simple but elegant. I like the glass front and side panel with a hinge and the isolated area under the board for the power supply. I also like that it fit my Supermicro E-ATX dual CPU server motherboard. There was only 1 standoff hole that wasn't used, and it was within 2 inches of another standoff anyway, so no stability issues with mounting or board flex. I don't think I've owned a case before that had no external drive bay slots before, not that you need those nowadays. I knew it had none when I bought it, it didn't hit me until I started looking at accessories to buy and was seeing external drive bay stuff I couldn't buy that I would otherwise have. No biggie though.
In all, just be aware of what you are buying this for, your budget, and its shortcomings and I don't think you will be dissatisfied if you keep your expectations reasonable. Just a word to the wise, if you weren't aware it does not come with fans, you might want to make sure you get all that figured out before you buy this case, because depending on what you are going to use it for, you may need a more custom configuration.
