bought it for $60usd and it was a great deal
im gonna start with the positives:-easy to build in-fits most mobo form factors-comes with everything youd expect a PC case to come with-matches the Asrock x570 Phantom Gaming 4 im currently using aesthetic.-the front mesh is fine enough that it helps keep larger dust particles out-even with an ATX mobo in it, there is still LOTS of room-i couldnt find any sharp edges anywhere, and i intentionally tried to find some sharp edges-the two fans it comes with up front are RGB and can be changed to pretty much whatever you want and can do several patterns-the RGB isnt "over the top"negatives:honestly, ive been really trying to find some bad things about it and the only thing i can come up with is that the hard drive bay isnt adjustable in the sense that you cant move the cage forward or backward to make more room for cables, so i do recommend using a fully modular power supply. there is room for a power supply that isnt fully modular, but you really have to "mash" the cords in, which could cause a short, but really, that is okay because at the time of purchase, i only paid $60usd (usd = US Dollar) and at that price, im surprised that is the only bad thing i can come up with about this case.the only other thing i wish is that the seller didnt use UPS to ship as it took two weeks to get to me. that isnt the sellers fault, really. that has more to do with the delivery service, however i wish there was an option to use a different delivery service entirely during checkout because UPS where i live is absolutely terrible. i was lucky i was standing outside my apt when they came because the UPS driver was going to drop it off at a wrong address, as usual. ive had thousands of dollars worth of stuff get stolen because UPS has a habit of dropping things off at the wrong address every time. again, that isnt the sellers fault i just wish i could have selected USPS as an alternate delivery service during checkout.

Great Case for Classic Needs
This case is almost perfect. I wanted to replace my 15 year old case. I had upgraded my internals a few years ago, but kept the same ole case. I wanted something new. let me preface by saying I am old school and need a optical drive. I did not want to give up my blu-ray drive. I could not believe how hard it was to find what I needed (windows, a few lights, certain dimensions to fit on a shelf) with an optical drive mount. I stumbled upon this one and it instantly became my favorite.This case is almost perfect, as I said above, and will dock it one star. It came with two fans, one of them blue, sweet!! However, they were 3-pin fans. Come on now, it's not 2000 anymore. My fairly new motherboard has 4-pin fan connections. No big deal right? Well, I still had to buy some adapters. The instructions could have been a little better. I was able to get through them, but I can see how others would have had issues (other website reviews). The side window is nice, but I do feel like it will probably scratch easy.All in all, I have had this functional for 3 days now and I couldn't be more pleased. My fan adapters will be in next week, so I will break it down, replace my old school adapters for more modern ones, and go to town from there. I highly recommend this case. I will update my review if that changes. Coolermaster, update your fans!!

Perfect ATX case for modern build
The case came complete, including small hardware. In my opinion everything was included that would be needed for any combination of components. Edges are nicely finished to avoid small cuts, and there was no difficulty getting components into and out of the case. The cooling flow is front and bottom in, back and top out. Supplied cabling all worked OK. I like the front panel that slides up and down: up to provide best cooling; down to expose the two USB 3 ports. I purchased a top rated CPU cooler, and the temp barely rises even after being on a long time. The included fans are quiet. The power button/light is on top, so the computer can be started without sliding the front panel. The front fan has RGB lighting, but it is not obtrusive and can be turned off. The size is just a bit smaller than my old case, but is just right for an ATX build. Would recommend or buy again. However, the instructions are small pix-only, so this may not be the best choice for a brand new builder.

Nice case but a major flaw
Case is nice if you want a small case with an ATX board.- First remove the casing around the power supply. It is going to cause you more headaches than it is worth and it is best just to remove it.- Second MAJOR FLAW there is absolutely NO way to bring power cables from the back of the board all the way to the top to give the CPU its secondary power lines. There is no room at the top of the case to bring those cables around. If you somehow manage to push it through with ought breaking the motherboard you will NOT be able to put a fan in the top portion of the case.

Cool look, Good price, Great Practice
Case came tightly packed and in good shape. Plenty of room for working in the case and for cable management. Aesthetics are nice, and comes with three fans pre-installed; two LED and one black. Comes with cable and adapters to power LED’s via the PSU.Only two nitpicks: the sticker on the tempered glass was annoying to remove, and the rubber seats for the PSU can be forced out too easily while installing the PSU.Overall very happy with my purchase.

Lots of space for a mid size box.
Very well designed. Easy to manage cables. My ASRock 990fx killer ATX mobo fully fills the space. There isn't a lot of room between the CPU cooler and the top of the box so the fit might be tight for some coolers. I added an extra 120mm fan in the front to improve air flow.

Great looking case
The case is beautiful (K500 Phantom Gaming). The onley issue I had is in terms of cable management with my ATX there was little room and with my mother broad fan/RGB headers it was tricky to feed the wires to the back.

Best Looking Case!!! But not for first time Builders!
There are no instructions at all... just some b/w pictures and thats it. Luckys looks really good and the quality is also very nice. But it’s a headache finding what goes where.

perfect
side panel arrived completely shattered, asked for a replacement, awaiting replacement...After a week of wait i recieved the new case. other than the almost non existant cable management possible. i love it!
