For all those who want to know how to connect the fans. Here are a few photos.
Pro
- 4 fans RGB
- Lightweight construction
- Power supply unit cover
Contra
- Molex fan

Great potential with stupid implementation
I have built a few PCs based on older mainboards in this case. The fact that you have to install HDD and CPU 12V as the very first thing is a minor annoyance that you can live with at this price. The fact that the screws have been drastically reduced (1 slot screw, 1 mainboard standoff and 4 screws for a 2.5" drive are missing) seems a little strange but understandable when every centime is turned over three times. On the plus side, it comes with nice tempered glass on the side and front, and the 4 fans provide even and good ARGB effects, with the integrated controller controlled via the panel.
But even at this budget, the non-existent airflow is unforgivable. The fans in the front sit so close to the glass that no air is drawn in through the ventilation slots, which are already far too small.
After several other attempts to optimise the airflow, there was finally nothing left to do but mount the fans behind the frame. You can do this without any further effort, the existing spacing and holes allow this - but then the LED rings are not only visually chopped off by the frame bars at the bottom, but the corners also overlap with the rings. Of course, this also covers the SSD a little.
To at least not see the frame corners above each ring, you can position the fans more flexibly with little effort by modifying the bottom two holes:
a) Drill through very, very slowly with a 4mm HSS drill (I'm sure there are yt videos on this).
b) Deburr very, very slowly with an 8mm HSS drill (idem).
First reposition the bottom fan, then the top fan, then the middle fan at the back. This results in a still suboptimal airflow and the glass still gets hot, but it is limited to the hotspot between the GPU and CPU, the rest of the case is no longer toasted.
Rating still remains at 2/5, as simply hare-brained technical planning.Pro
- Favourable
- Integrated ARGB, for older mainboards
- Tempered real glass
- Design
Contra
- Fans need to be rebuilt
- Airflow is non-existent
- Tiny cutout for 12V CPU
- Mainboard must be removed for 12V CPU connection
- For HDD installation/removal PSU must be removed
- Some screws missing
Good housing
Contra
- Hdd ssd installation cumbersome
- Power supply cables must pass through a small slot.
Perfect housing
Just okay
I used this case for a custom PC build, and so far its served its function, except that the case's "HD Audio" doesn't work, fortunately, I have been able to work around that, but it is a pretty major downside. The RGB lighting is pretty cool, but there is no motherboard fan connecter for the lighting or the fans, so the fans are either running at full throttle or are completely shut off, and there is no software control of the lighting. Overall, I don't regret the purchase, but I would not purchase it again.
Pro
- RGB is good
- Sturdy
- Glass panel is well made
- Decent cable mangement
- Feet are adjustable
- More than enough screws
Contra
- No RGB connector
- Audio on the case doesn't work
- Heavy
- Top mesh panel is useless except aesthetics
- One USB port is deeper than the rest
- Power light is too bright
- Came with motherboard standoff bent
Affordable case, but no.
It depends on who you are, but for the price I'm sure there are better alternatives.
Pro
- Good looks
- Light
Contra
- 240 AIO don't fit on top.
- Hard cable management
- Fan LED is controlled by a switch and not software
- Manual is messy
