Stylish and a great value, but cramped insides...
***This review is for the SRM-01 model***I love the look of this case, very professional and minimalist.PROS:-Amazing Price-Sick look and feel to the outside of case (although the front panel is plastic that looks like a brushed metal)-Big power button, very small reset button (which prevents button mistakes)-3 USB ports on the frontCONS:-VERY CRAMPED INSIDES. After installing my graphics card, I almost couldn't fit my SSD in the designated installation bay. I REALLY had to squeeze the crap out of my graphics card and the wires that were connected to it. It would have been IMPOSSIBLE to install an actual 3.5 inch hard drive in the same place.-Speaking of hard drives, it is also impossible to install a CD reader, as all the wires are stuffed into that bay.-Uneven power button (no big deal)-Feet at the bottom of the case are uneven, the case stands still but can teeter left/rightI have only had the case for about 3 hours and will be updating as I see fit. Though there are some disadvantages, I am happy with my purchase and the price I paid.POSITIVE UPDATE AFTER 2 DAYS:I specifically wanted to update this review after paying special attention to the air flow in the case. Although all the components are stuffed into the case without much room between them, there is almost NO sound coming from any of the fans. After some decent amount of cable management through the cutouts in the case, there is PLENTY of air flow to keep my PC cool and quiet. This is a really good sign for the future of my gaming rig. Though putting the motherboard under the power supply is a crappy flaw, since the GPU is heated up at the bottom of the case. Still not much of a problem.UPDATE 1/20/2016 (I added an extra star for this):After removing the front panel, I found an empty spot for a 120mm FAN!!!! This case already had great air flow, keeping my 280x at/under 64 degrees with a single fan, I can't wait to buy another fan to see what this baby can really do!UPDATE 07/23/2016I have turned this case on its side and placed a 120mm fan on the side vent as exhaust. All other holes are passive intake. This is the most efficient setup I've created with this case, really the best price to performance you can get.

SRM-01 - Seriously just disregard the bad reviews
To be honest, this is by far my favorite part of my new computer build. It is sleek and small - something like 14x14x7. Cable management is great as they give you plenty of room and opening in the back to run cables. The material also feels really good to me. It’s not flimsy at all. I mainly love how this thing only costs 20 bones… philbo happy!I only had one issue with the case. The case only came with 6 motherboard risers. Guys there are 9 riser openings in a micro atx motherboard! Also, I should mention that I didn't use the 80mm rear exhaust fan that came with it b/c I wanted a blue LED fan. However, the included exhaust is actually pretty good as opposed to alot of stock case fans.Now I feel like I need to address some issues that have been brought up about this case. I read quite a few complaints about how hard it was to get some components in place like optical drive/graphics card/hard drives. These people must have never built a computer before… Let me address. Optical Drive - Who needs an optical drive anymore? I honestly can’t remember the last time I used one on my previous computer. Maybe 2015 or 2016? It's not like you’re going to make an HTPC w/ this case. Not really meant for that. GPU - I put my big ole GPU (EVGA GTX 950 FTW) in it w/ the PSU cable attached to the side and still had at least a half an inch from the little side cage that you mount stuff. I will say this, you can’t have a long GPU and have a drive mounted on the bottom part of the swivel cage. No problem! Just mount up top! Additional HDD/SSD - Use the space at the top of the case that you were going to waste on an optical drive as a spot to put a hard drive… enough said.I also saw people complaining about the airflow and the battery being placed at the top. Let's keep in mind that It’s ~$20... I put a 120mm intake fan at the front (yes I had plenty of space for this) and my AMD wraith spire cooler is positioned just a few inches from the side fan opening which gives me a little more intake. Between the 80mm back exhaust/gpu exhaust/psu exhaust I think I am good. I haven’t noticed my parts getting overly hot at all under load. I’ll say it again 20 bones.I don’t think the PSU at the top is a problem. Maybe it makes it just a little top heavy? Also, it’s not really going to be intaking too much heat from other components since there is an exhaust right under it.Final thing I think that people had an issue with the case was the side where you run your PSU cables for management won’t close. Just get some zip ties and zip the cables down to one of the many holes provided for you on the back and you will have no problem slidin’ that side back on.You can’t beat this case for the price – probably not even for another 20 or 30 washingtons. Buy it!

It's a sturdy case and I absolutely recommend for budget builds.
First I want to say that I purchased this case on sale for $19.99 with free shipping. I also want to ad that I probably try out about 10 new cases each year for customer builds and such so it's become a bit of an obsession to find the most value at certain price points.This computer case deserves it's 5 stars and that is because it combined an amazing quality considering it only cost $20. First the computer case is made out of mostly metal and although it's slightly thinner than a $60 it isn't an issue or even noticeable especially to the consumer. The front panel is plastic and although it doesn't look expensive, it's durable and unlikely to break. My only complaint with the front panel is it does come off a little too easily and I did consider putting the smallest dab of hot clue on the tabs just to keep the panel secure only because I will be selling this computer. The power button feels responsive and doesn't give or move when pressed. The USB slots seem pretty decent and standard (USB 2.0 btw. This chassis came with two fans and I have to say they exceed my expectations. The first 120mm fan is located at the back and 80mm located behind the front panel, an actually pretty clever place because it will help move air on a diagonal path. I would like it if they ever decide to update the design to add more clearance for airflow from the front panel.Pros:Great value for the price ($20)Smooth black finish makes it look appealing.Two fans included.Simplistic and great for a low profile case.firm power buttonDoesn't feel like a $20 caseCons: (this is me nitpicking)Not enough airflow from the bottom of the front panel, I would like more holesFront Panel could be a tad bit more sturdy.The standoffs required a lot of force to place properly. This was my biggest concern.Other than that it's a great case and I will be buying more of them in the future.

Buen Gabinete
EL gabinete trae Unos ventiladores muy grandes, que si lo compraras aparte tan solo el mas grande esta en 350 pesos aprox, así que en relación a lo que recibes por tu dinero creo que esta genial. Los materiales son buenos y la estética es sobria y elegante a la vez.

Buen gabinete
El gabinete cuenta con muchos tornillos para adaptar tus tarjetas madre, no se siente muy premium pero es bastante bueno a nivel de oficina, cuenta con dos ventiladores y panel ajustable para acomodo de cables. Muy buena compra

Decent for certain use cases, not for gaming.
Cheap but effective for mATX builds. I purchased this to make a desktop with a small footprint for my wife using an old mATX board I had lying around as it was the cheapest case available at the time of purchase (on sale). Would not recommend this case for gaming hardware as the airflow sucks in that use case but it is perfectly fine for a text editing/web browsing/online streaming use case.Be careful, as some of the edges are sharp (haven't been rounded).There is not much room for cable management but if you get creative, you can find a way.

Good small case
It was a good small case that fit my mini ITX motherboard. Very satisfied with the overall quality. I don't know what the quality of the supplied PSU is, but I hope it lasts a while.
