VIVO ATX Mid Tower Computer Gaming PC Case / Black Red Desktop Shell / 3 Fan Mount, Dual USB 3.0 (CASE-V03)

I have owned a computer maintenance and repair business for nearly 20 years, and while most of our work over the past few years has evolved into corporate contract work, we still have occasions every so often to supply new systems to some of our clients. I have used the VIVO cases almost exclusively for the last couple years (the V02 and the V01 primarily). For an inexpensive case, these are very well constructed. They are lightweight, but everything mounts very solidly. We have used a wide range of motherboards, power supplies, video cards, etc, and have never had any problems with fit or alignment. And with the design of the internal brackets and drive rails, efficient cable management is easy to do to create a tidy looking end result (I have been told my cable management borders on OCD!). Included is a packet of plenty of different mounting screws (all black as well) for mobo, drives, etc. I have seen a couple previous comments on the different screw sizes being difficult to differentiate, and I suppose for a novice that might be the case, but having built well over 500 systems in the past 20 years, I haven't had any issues with potentially attempting to use the wrong screw in the wrong place. The solid black cases look very stylish and smart when finished, and the blue LED fan glow gives just a bit of a "coolness" highlight to modernize the look, even for most of our systems that end up in an office environment. (I have only had 1 client that wanted the lighted fans taken out). Overall, I am very well pleased with the VIVO line and certainly plan on continuing to use them for our custom built systems.

When the box arrived I opened it up and loved it right as I looked at it. After looking at the side I noticed 3 big indents in the side of the case i'm currently planning on fixing it with a rubber hammer but i'm a bit surprised it had them cause the packaging and the box had no big signs of damage. I really don't feel like going through the process of ordering another one and waiting for it. Well besides the indents I really like how the case looks and the features it comes with. This is gonna be my first computer build. I'm pretty excited! :UPDATE: I have finished building my computer and everything works great. I didn't have any issues when building with this case. Only note is I recommend buying better fans if you are going to be gaming or doing any high performance things with your computer to keep it properly cooled with good airflow. Overall case is cheap and works well with nice features (USB 3.0, LED's, etc) and has a nice aesthetic look to it.PROS:+ x2 USB 3.0s + x2 USB 2.0s+ Supports large graphic cards+ Has SD card reader and micro sd card reader in front+ Cool look with LED's+ Comes with power supply air filter (not the best)+ Has legs on bottom to keep off ground+ Has some room for cable management behind mother boardCONS:- Only can hold x2 2.5 inch hard drives- Cheap fans with short fan wires- No instruction pamphlet-Cheap (but light and seems pretty durable) case materialEnding Note:Overall this case suits my budget and suits my needs perfect I do recommend this case to people on a budget. If you are not on a budget invest more money in your case IT MATTERS!!! You get what you pay for!!!

for 38$ it's decent enough to suit me. The pluses are the price and a fairly sturdy construction. Also there's 2 front usb 2.0 and 2 fron usb 3.0 ports as well as a SD and microSD card reader. The reader will read either slot at a time but not both and if you're not careful (as i found out) you can miss the slot for the microsd card and lose it inside the case. That's inconvenient (it sure was) but not a disaster. The reader doesn't auto unmount when removed so the caveat is to unmount it from the file manager before removing it otherwise a power off is necessary. Cabling was a bit tricky but i think i have it worked out about as good as it'll get. It has a couple of spots for a 2 1/2 inch hdd/ssd. I used one for them for the ssd but used a caddy i had for the other to fit in the 3 1/2 inch hdd slot. There's no reset button though on the case. Just power on and off button. i hate the blue glowy things so i have the computer facing sideways with the monitor out in front so i don't have to look at the blue lights. It's pretty sturdy, more so than i'd expected. The one caveat about the screws for the motherboard that come with it is that they aren't the screws you'd expect the ones that fit the risers for the motherboard look like something you'd use to secure a dvd drive to a case. they are round with a slight lip around them and are phillips only screws. The ones that look like 1/4" hexnut heads on them as well as phillips are not the ones to secure the motherboard to the case. And as is always a plus, i didn't break anything putting parts in it.I put in it a mATX motherboard ASRock A88M-G/3.1 which fits nicelyand comes with type a and c usb 3.1 plus an m.2 ssd pcie x4 slot. are all very handy... one day..

Came in on time, looks great, all USB and lights work, no missing screws, everything's works. This case is really good and is defiantly better than my last one. Have had no problems and I think it deserves 5 stars. I really like it!

Very nice tower, very quiet with large front and back fans. My motherboard does not support front 3.0 usb. No problem, added 5 port usb card to motherboard.

It has everything you expect from medium ATX tower. It has a nice blue LED in front which pretty nice for the price we pay it.

All of the standports didn't connect properly and it's not very well designed

Solidly built tower, but you can tell it's not quite all there. From the outside, the tower looks very professional with a cool mesh grill and chrome accent. Lots of USB ports that are easily accessible from the front. The thumb screws and all the other screws are very high quality. The front fan is a blue LED, however the rear fan is just a blue plastic fan. I purchased two Corsair fans, one to replace the rear and another for the optional side mounted spot. When you open it up, that's where the product falters. The cables for the USB, HDD, power and such are very flimsy, and some end up being just a tad too short, making them very taught when inserted into the motherboard. The access ports for your motherboard PCI slots are only permanently removable, which is a shame. It was also difficult to tell where to place an SSD and HDD and so for my build they seem slightly randomly placed. Finally, even though it states it has options for cable management, they are very limited due to the length of the cables they have given you, as well as the fact that it is a top mounted power supply case.
