Whether by design or just a result of the cheap build the RGB lights on the front panel are not covered on the inside so you get a pale imitation of the front light show shining into the case.
The one I got had a slight offset on 3 of the motherboard standoff screw holes, so if I had been mounting a full ATX board the bottom edge would not be secured to the case.
I would not recommend this case
I had ordered it for its low price, and it's ability to handle pretty much any mother board.
the packaging was adequate for an item with moderate electronics.
The materials are better than expected, with competent rivets, and holes in exactly the right place.
I really liked the way that the power supply and 2 large hard drives are housed in the box.
they have separate shrouds around them, and holes that make it really easy to do the build.
The plastic hard drive trays work really well, and do not require the hard drives to be screwed in.
the metal mesh filters over the air flow ports are well done, either fit into tabs, or for the top one, magnetized.
it comes with a single large fan that exhausts air out the back of the upper box. there is room for 2 in the front as well.
the lower fan in front cools the hard drives, so i used one there. the supplied screws could be started by hand, and were a perfect fit.
the controls for the box are on top, and there are 2 usb2 ports and 1 usb3 port. there are slots for sd and micro sd. i tested them and they work perfectly. the large SD card has precedence, so if you plug in both cards, only the large one will show up in the file list. Pull the big card out, and the small one is back on the list. there are separate cords for the card reader and the 2 usb2 ports. since my board only has one usb2 connector, i opted for the card reader, and the 2 usb ports are unconnected. the buttons are metal and much more elegant than expected.
there are a lot of covers to this box, so that the motherboard is entirely exposed when they are removed. there is a plastic cover with 4 screws that provides direct access to the mother board. there is a metal cover on the back that allows wires and 3 3.5 inch drives and a 2.5 inch hard drive to be hidden and cooled. The front cover snaps off, and is divided by a long led strip. The led strip connects to a sata power connector, and has a push button to change the color. It just turns on that color when the computer is on. I actually really like the look of it. Computers have become more of a light show, sort of like the first computers that appeared in movies. The perfectly clear plastic cover allows you to see indicator lights on the board, as well as decorative strips that they now include to light up the interior.
finally, this box has tall legs, so that the power supply and the hard drives do not suck up dust through the lower vents.
It’s probably a little less durable than more expensive cases, and I personally believe some of the components were bent or shifted during shipping or handling. Most notably the SD card reader that’s built into the top seemed slightly off from the opening and I feel like jamming a card in will damage or corrupt the card. HOWEVER, due to my build, I sacrificed the power supply for the built in card reader to my Bluetooth card, so it doesn’t affect my use or enjoyment of the case. FYI the card reader DID work, it just seemed to be at an angle.
It’s got plenty of room for a mid tower, and all typical cable management options/ports. I also like how there’s a vent on the bottom for the power supply, though there’s a lot of opinions flying around about mounting your power supply upside down blah blah blah. If you’re not doing high performance overclocking that drives up the temps, you’ll be fine.
The acrylic “glass” side panel arrived in flawless condition and so far hasn’t shown any wear and tear (some people complained that the acrylic scratches easily, but I don’t handle my case much).
And lastly the RGB front looks minimalist but modern and cool. I’m not someone concerned with how my tower looks, my cable management is non existent and most builders would laugh at me. But for a budget case, it looks really cool and I’m happy with it.
The materials are cheap and the plastic side panel somehow developed a gauge mark between the time it took to peel off the protective plastic film and fit it on the case. The provided twist ties fell apart into metal shards. The cheap fan screws damaged my screwdriver.
The most bizarre problem is the blinding power button LED. As in, literally blinding, like looking directly into a lightbulb, which makes looking at the front panel USBs / card reader / headphone jack dangerous. I can't believe other reviews don't mention this. Was my case missing a piece of plastic meant to dim it or something? I ended up leaving that LED unplugged from the motherboard.
It looks pretty good once assembled, scratched plastic aside. If you're a person with more time than money, exactly the right equipment, and some experience, this case can work for you. If you're new to PC building, don't want to spend a whole day on it, or are using spare parts you have around (like fans and SATA cables) then this will be a challenge.
PROS: >>Built-in SD card reader on the topside of this case
>>Clear plastic side panel
>>One large rear fan included
>>Unique colorful light-bar strip on the front side
>>Pretty compact case
CONS: >>Location of power supply makes connecting wires to the mainboard....especially on the top of the board
>>Nearly impossible to screw/secure the top portion of the motherboard/mainboard onto this case due to poor design of the top-side of this case
>>Need to use a mini-ATX motherboard/mainboard only
>>You need to install a few additional cooling fans throughout this computer case
>>NO place to install at DVD/CD burner in this case
>>Not worth the $50 price tag
I do NOT understand why on Earth this computer case company did not make provisions to install a built-in DVD/CD burner into this case. Not everybody uses Windows 10 and even tho I use Windows 10, I have install CDs for soundcards, videocard, programs and the list goes on. So it amazes me AeroCool designed a DVD/CD Burner-free case. I ended up having to get a mobile DVD/CD burner unit for this computer case just to install software onto this computer. I could not return this junky case because the box this item came in was really trashy-looking & I had to toss out the box.
SD card reader still works, USB card I added recently to this computer set up for myself works in addition to the few USB ports on the front top of this motherboard. The case is pretty nice-looking on the outside, but open up the case and the horrors of trying to put together a computer system in this little compact case simply made me give this item a 1 star rating and by far this was the worst computer case I have even purchased.
- inexpensive
- accommodates ATX power supply
- has top socket/switch panel
and some surprises
- no place for for a CD/DVD or floppy drive (but has SD card slots on top..
- power supply on bottom behind barrier (had to remove panel to insert ATX supply)
- micro ATX MB as far from power supply as possible (8 and 6 pin PS cables would not reach, had to use 4 pin).
- drive slots (2) are mounted low next to power supply behind barrier and for 3.5" drive only, not for 2.5" SSD. Duct tape is handy.
-top panel USB, Audio, and SD card slots are nice but power light is so bright it makes slots (black on black) hard to see.
- had to hold CPU mount in place while installing CPU heat sink, pushes out of case easily.
That said with a few minutes fiddling I have what I need for a server with not many peripherals, Using a Gigabyte MB and Ryzen CPU with graphics, just do not expect to add much and agree the front panel is unique, I never saw a case without any accommodation for an optical (CD/DVD) drive before.
But is what I needed and is light.
My last computer was a 6 year old midrange HP with a Core I5 4460, so a Ryzen 7 on an Asus X570 and a WD Black NVME with 16GB 3600 has a much different feel to it, even using an older RX 480 (waiting for the fall for new releases) it felt like I should have opted for tempered glass and all metal.
That obviously depends on your budget. For under $50, I haven't seen better.
Update : there are better cases for the money. I was new to the side window and RGB, with this being my first one.
Been building other computers, and I have found better cases for the money. Luckily this was for myself, as I would be embarrassed now.
The RGB in the case quit working after a couple months.
You can get tempered glass with metal now for less, seeing those prices drop while this has inexplicably increased in price...
This has to be the best Case Value I've seen in a long time. I didn't need RGB but it just happened to come with it so Bonus! I'll get more of these in future simple builds like this one. Maybe I'll try a full blown RGB rig since as it is the current rig just has the RGB included with the case. I'll throw in some strips and fans next time.
If you need something simple but big enough to handle full sized mobo and gpu as well as cpu cooling then this is perfect and has some unexpected surprises.
The other thing that needs improvment is the height from mobo to the top of the case, I wasn;t able to install a top exhaust fan due to the clearance. I could have mounted a fan through the grating on top but even then it would not be straight. and the wiring managment over the top of motherboard is almost immposible.
My case arrived with the bottom back of the case dented in where the screw holds the side panel on but that is a handling error. nothing to do with the product itself.
Astetics: LEDs work fine and look great. They plug into a sata power cable, which isn't mentioned in the manual they send (only a minor nitpick. The plug didn't appear to be sata at a glance, but it's printed on one side).
There are "some" options for cable management, but not a ton. Again, at this price point I didn't expect much. I was surprised though at the mention of space for a radiator. Im not water cooling so no comment on how well it's equipped for it, but the manual at least mentions it!
Would have liked a couple more points to screw in motherboard standoffs, but there were "enough".
If I were building more lower-end gaming rigs, I would absolutely look to this case again in the future.
Also, the ONE card reader takes up a WHOLE 2-USB 2.0 port block on the motherboard, and the ONE USB 3.0 port also connects in such a way as to consume a WHOLE 2-USB 3.0 port block. I ended up using an internal hub rather than waste a couple ports.
Typing this from memory. It's at home, and it's been a couple months now since I assembled my desktop.
has rgb on the front
cons:
there is no cable management space in the back, its a nightmare, as well as no tie down points
getting a regular atx board in with a large cooler is shimmying it into place, and if you happen to have a motherboard with a face and backplate, it barely squeezes under the rear fan, which sounds like a dying hornet.
the material is very cheap, its light enough to pick up with your pinky finger.
it has no acrylic side panel, its cheap plastic, its smoked, and scratches by rubbing your shirt against it, and attracts dust and debris because it builds up static.
and finally its not quite mid atx, its thinner and shorter than what id consider a mid atx tower, it didnt fit the height of the cpu cooler i chose, so i had to resort to going to the hardware store to get spacers and longer screws, and glue the spacers to the side panel to fit it over comfortably.... but given its not actual acrylic it bent over the cooler just fine to keep the animals out of it for the time being.
conclusion:
this feels like a 20 dollar case, with fancy pictures to make it look good, i regret not going with the rosewill prism s for that build for 30 dollars more, to get actual quality, heavy steel chassis with a real glass panel and 3 fans that dont sound like a dying hornet and its filled with customizable rgb to your color preference etc, and the glass cleans up so you cant even see it from a short distance.
would highly recommend but only after stating this'
it has issues with in taking air, the only intake area is at the very bottom and is less then one inch wide. so a single static fan is the best you'll get.
also the top rear fan slot, you can mount a fan, it will just have 3 out of 4 screws attached, but functions perfectly. so added bonus. Likewise, the case it self is made with cheap metal, hence the price point, so it it bends, RIP.
overall, 8 out of ten stars for looks, value, and function.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Comes with standoffs and a bunch of hardware
- Room for 7 fans
- RGB effects for front panel are cool, definitely the best feature of the case
- Decent airflow, with a fan spot to cool your 3.5 inch drive bay
- Thumbscrews for both side panels
Cons:
- No grommits for cable management
- RGB strip isn't syncable with any software
- Metals are thin and clearly not very high-quality
- All but one expansion slot is snap-off, and not able to be put back on
- Cable management with a full ATX board is not super easy
- The rear side panel sits very closely to the cable shroud, bulges easily
- HD Audio mic input doesn't work
- Airflow from the front requires front of case to be unrestricted
- Acrylic side panel is cheap acrylic, and breaks, scratches, and gets prints easily
Overall, not a terrible case, but I should've spent the extra 20ish dollars on a phanteks or thermaltake
In the past few months my USB 3.0 ports (blue usb) have been malfunctioning and making other devices short out or have problems. I used this case on my gaming/streaming PC build and now my webcam no longer works due to the USB 3.0 problem and my elgato has a hard time staying connected.
Sucks putting money into things to run smoothly and trouble shoot to realize it was the case all along.
I ordered a corsair rgb carbide case a while ago and it came in horrible with obvious damage. The instructions were not clear at all and the pins did not have any labels for the USB. To make it worse the PC did not turn on and im not giving the case 100% blame bc the mobo was also bad but that case had some fault.
So I refunded the Corsair case and the mobo and used this case as a replacement and it works amazing. The manual was more clear, everything had its labels, it was much easier to build with, and its aesthetics is amazing and is damn right gorgeous.
I only have 2 Cons:
The case is barely big enough for an atx board and I barely fit my board into it. It even scraped the case a bit. I had to take out my cpu fan during the build so I could connect the power cables to the cpu at the top corner of the case.
And 2nd I wish there a bit more space so for cable management.
Other than that it's a great case for the price and I can't believe it was $30 less than the Corsair case I ordered and was easier to build with.
Just make sure your atx board fits here
I've been building my own computers since I was a teenager, so when my partner's old desktop died on them, figured it was the perfect opportunity for them to learn and attempt their first build! They were intimidated at first, but after salvaging parts from their old computer, this one was really simple to work with, and looks great!
It makes me proud seeing how happy they were when it booted for the first time, so thank you AeroCool for making a solid budget friendly case!
It's a simple, easy to assemble PC case, and would definitely recommend this as an option to anyone I know that wants to get into making their own custom PC without breaking the bank.
Something else to note is that the usb 3.0 plug in has a usb 2.0 attached to it. DO NOT plug in the 2.0 cable thats connected to the 3.0 header. All you need to do is plug the USB 3.0 header in for the front usb ports to work. I had both plugged in and my ports weren't working. This isn't a flaw with the case, but i figured it would be good advice for any first time pc builders considering this case.
Overall, the problems are pretty minimal and easily fixed, definitely recommend this case if you aren't bothered by anything I've pointed out.
