Looks like there's a mini review of this case. The led strip looks nice, and cable management is good.

Hey just wanted to let whoever is buying this know,

I bought this like 2 years ago, and I wasn't aware that the tempered glass panel is actually tinted. Don't expect to be able to see through it. I was only able to see my aio cooler and ram's RGB, but if you're trying to see inside, this case is not for you.

If you look at the recent reviews, they switched to the clear acrylic instead of the tinted version due to complaints.

Is this case really 200cm wide? That's seems really "fat", especially for only accommodating a 140mm CPU cooler.

It would be nice to know if the max cpu cooler height is 160mm like in newegg's specs or 140mm like in the product description.The cooler I want to use is between those numbers.

Here is one of the Q&A from Amazon. I seared for "cooler height".
https://www.amazon.com/Montech-Mi...081Q7SD7L/

"Q: The specs page says max cpu coer height is 160mm. people answering questions on here say 140mm. which is correct? that's a big difference...

A: I was able to fit a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 (160mm height) with no problems. It is almost hitting the clear panel, but it clears it. So 160mm max is the correct max height.

I've been looking for a mini ITX case, but is this is a bad idea for a 1080ti? Would it even fit in this? Thinking of getting a cooler master case also

I have a build with a 2080 in this case and it's fine.

You people don't understand cooling and should stop posting FUD. every case has 15 uneducated boobs who watched a YouTube video weighing in with their ignorance.

You can downvote all you want but it doesn't make your opinions less wrong.

Yeah, I dunno what people are talking about. I have one of these cases, and while the included fans don't really cut it, I bought some extra fans and with that easy upgrade, the case handles a full size card just fine.

I love too how people think someone spending $37 on a case are also regularly putting thousand dollar video cards and another $600 in CPU and MB, then wouldn't spring for $15 for a couple fans.

Clearly we need the video again:

ha..
my mini itx case can overheat the system, it has 140mm intake and 120mm outtake with 80mm cpu fan. the intake slot are on left and right side. it has sfx PSU to give extra space for cpu cooler.

running 20 mins is nothing, but >40 with 8-12 linux containers , it throttle-ing cpu .

this is real life experience, yes airflow is important on some cases,

So an edge case is needed to prove your point? I think it actually proves mine. Most morons on this site are playing a couple games and thinking OH NOESSSSS!!!!!! MY PC RUNNING 20 DEGREES BELOW THROTTLE TEMP IS A DIRE EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!

It prove high air flow needed in some case like mine

I am running bare metal linux container that running 24/7🙃. Throttling cpu is not my option.

Sorru no gaming on my side. Ha…

Sure, and yours is a non typical use case. Taxing the cpu with VMS is different than most users here. I've been seeing people claiming all sorts of untrue things regarding temps and running around like a case will make your components die because of insufficient airflow. In almost all use cases here on sd, almost any case is fine. If they weren't there'd be massive recalls and lawsuits.

Also, I meant to mention before, a microatx is bigger than a mini-itx case, and has more room for components to vent hot air.
