Lovely case for a great price!
I picked this case up for a little over £40 as I was wanting to move my Dell Optiplex system into a standard ATX case. Having changed to a more suitable motherboard I set about trying to find a cheap and cheerful case with decent airflow.Having not ever built a PC before I didn’t want to spend a fortune or want anything too fancy.This case in my opinion looks great, it’s sleek and modern and has tons of airflow. I actually like the smoked glass, although it does mute the colours of any RGB you have.There’s plenty room for all your components and I was able to cable manage as neatly as my ability enabled. The 3 included fans plugged into a Sata cable from my PSU and work brilliantly, you’re able to cycle colours using a button next to the power on button, which are connected to the motherboard. Note that these do not change speed like a CPU fan and would have to be connected as such to the motherboard if you wanted that option.Anyway, for the price you really can’t knock it, I’m very pleased with it and how my budget build has turned out. Definitely worth a buy if you’re starting out and want a case that gives you decent options and is of decent enough quality.

Great value for money budget-build case with fans and pain-free building
Good budget case. The metal is thin, but that's to be expected at this stage, yet the machine fully loaded (large tower CPU cooler, 6600XT GPU, 1 3.5" drive and 3 2.5 inch drives) is solid and stable.Comes with 3 120mm fans, and can support a further two for decent airflow.The cable routing is surprisingly good for a relatively small and budget case - was impressed here.There are two dedicated 2.5" drive mounts on the vertical backpane. And a single drive case supports 2 3.5" drives (or 1 3.5 drive and 1 2.5 drive).The glass panel is very good, though be careful taking it off (or putting it on) as there's nothing beyond the 4 screws to manage it - so hold on to it!The PSU area is a little tight, but with a compact and modular PSU like the GameMax Rampage 850w which I installed, I had no issues.I also installed an M-ATX board, so there was room to maneuvre at the bottom of the case where the front panel headres are located. I suspect on an ATX board that if you didn't pre-attack those cables, you'd have a lot of cursing.Why 4 stars and not 5? Really is 4.5.The front panel can easily take 3 fans, but has been artifically closed off and left at 2. I took a dremel to the offending horizontal bar at the bottom (its on the inside and cannot be seen once the front panel is on - from the inside or outside) and added a 3rd fan to cool the drives.There's a front grill, but no dust cover, so the intake will bring in dust.The front (er top) panel USB options are all older generation - 1 x 3.0 and 2 x 2.0. Not a big deal for a budget build, but more and more budget boards are switching to the newer USB headers.The rear PCI use the cheap tear-away covers. There is one genuine reusable cover, but the rest are tear away. Again, not a big deal on a budget case.

Great
After about a year of use still holds up fits my 3060 and motherboard with plenty of extra room for upgrades, comes with a neat dust collecting mat on top of the case so any dust can easily be wiped off. No issues so far. Great quality for an amazing price (bought around £50 on an offer)

Good budget case
Perfect case to build in, came with a lot of screws, only thing I would get rid of is the HDD drive as was a pain to get psu in if not, I just got rid as I used a SSD

Incredibly bad
The case is simply terrible. It arrived bent. The lid was bent and the bottom too.Moreover, the bottom was so bent that the power supply simply did not fit there. Thank God, the materials are so cheap that I was able to bend the bottom by hand.This case itself is incredibly stupid to assemble. A bunch of wires that 1. you don’t need, 2. are located so that you will go crazy while you figure out how to connect them. Now comes the fun part. In the photo I show the magnificence of Gamdias designers. This is the gap between the body and the front glass (on both sides) the width of a finger. What does this mean for us? All the dust will fall through these two excellent holes directly onto all your elements - motherboard, gpu. You will never be able to clean the front glass itself. Cool? Cool. Two beautiful RGB fans and in front of them the glass is covered with dust - and nothing prevents this dust from getting there. The intention of the creators of this squalor, the reasons for such decisions, will be a mystery until the end of my days.

Excellent for the money
Got it for €48 on resale. Looks better in person than in the photos. Runs my 12400f and 4070 very well with no temperature issues. Easy to built inside with plenty of room for extension cables and a full ATX psu. Tinted glass makes the RGB look classy instead of tacky.
