Ionz KZ11 PC Office Value Case M/ATX Black

In a nutshell I had a tatty looking HTPC which I have had for donkeys years. I thought a simple case swap would improve the looks in the front room so I searched for a case and believe it or not I found the KZ11 which from the pictures looked like something I was looking for. Simple, yet looks nice.Building in it was actually a dream, I had no issues at all, and believe it or not it was easier to build in than some more expensive bigger branded cases I have used to build regular PCs.I have only built in this case a HTPC which to be honest is basically a PC (motherboard, cpu, psu, ssd, gpu) which has lower end parts, but you could easily build a high end PC in this case if you like air cooling (liquid AIO no chance). I might even do that for my next build, but check cooler height and gpu length. For my HTPC I use Noctua NH-D9DX i4 and fits nicely. GPU i use is a GTX1050ti which will fit in most cases. It also looks a though it has a drive bay on the front, this not a drive bay at all.Looks good next to my TV now and blends in with the TV unit. I know having a case this size is not ideal to have next to your TV but my motherboard was micro ATX and not mini ITX plus the Noctua cooler so i needed a case that fits what i use.For a regular PC build I would recommend this case if your not into RGB and liquid cooling. Fantastic and easy to build in. I would buy again and may will do in the near future. I perfect simple, nice looking case and only £20.

Cheap and cheerful few sharp edges but does the job

This little number cost me under £20, delivered.If, like me, you have been building and upgrading your own computers for a number of years, you will have accumulated a pile of parts that whilst not being exactly cutting edge, are still perfectly functional.I have several desktops in my home, each one being progressively updated with 'hand me down' parts from the latest and greatest upgrade to my main machine.Eventually, of course, there comes a point where the last machine has been updated, and there are more bits than places to put them.This is precisely where this case ( almost ) perfectly suited my needs.My parts bin included the following: One Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z87 motherboard, circa 2013. One i5 4670K. 8GB of DDR3 1600, two R290 GPUs and a non modular 750 Watt Corsair that I'd had knocking about from an RMA. A few fans and cables and there was a perfectly functional PC to be built.Total value around £250, if I could have been bothered to auction, pack and post them, which obviously was not the case.I thought I'd do something with these bits and pieces, and that is where this case came into the picture.The case arrived in fairly minimal packaging via Royal Mail, two working days after I'd ordered it, in perfect condition.The case itself is of black painted mild steel and plastic, with a top mount for the PSU, a decent amount of space behind the motherboard for a little creative cable management, mounting points for three SS drives and a bottom mounted cage for a traditional drive.All parts fit easily and with a good, uniformly snug, fit.There are ports and cabling for one front mounted USB 3, one USB 2, and audio jacks. These are all located on the top side of the front panel.Fan mounting points are 80mm rear, and 120 mm on the case side panel. That's it, out of the box.The pictures in the listing are accurate.This is essentially the sort of design one would expect to have seen in the mainstream, around 2005.If you are looking for a separate PSU compartment, mounts for lots of big, slow turning fans, or to water-cool, this is not the case for youAn ATX board is a close fit under the PSU.It practically fills the entire case in the vertical plane, although there is good cable access.I removed the HDD cage, a simple matter of drilling through four rivets, the work of a couple of minutes.Most people will not need to do this, I only did because I was fitting two large graphics cards, and the lower one of the two would not fit, but if the manufacturer were to revise the design it wouldn't be a bad idea to screw the cage in place, rather than riveting it.The case will easily accept any single card from the last ten years or so, and if you are thinking of installing an RTX 3090, you're probably not reading this review.Which once again brings me to price.This is a no frills, very basic, computer case, which costs less than £20.It absolutely does the job, no more, no less.My one serious criticism is would be the poor fan mounting provision, but there are ways and means to circumvent this, of course.The case would have got five stars but for this.For a project such as mine, this case is a no brainer.You can get as cheap, but mainly only for mATX boards and the quality certainly won't be any better.As for the rig?Yes, it runs Crysis.

Bought to provide a home for an old PC with a damaged case. Plenty of room to work in, provision for discrete cable management and the tiniest power and hard drive LEDs I have ever seen, seriously tiny but workable.Access to the drive bays could have been better, a little awkward there and installing the DVD was trickier than it should have been, so one star lost there.Overall, a decent case for the price. Nothing fancy but does the job.

Can't knock it for the price. Build quality is actually not bad considering it is a sub-£30 case. All edges are rolled with no sharp bits. All screws and fittings included. Fits a full-size ATX board

This case may be cheap but is well worth it as I have found no problems with it so far and I really like the hdd brackets as they are out the way and easy to get to.
