great case, easy to build in and looks great
great case, easy to build in and looks great. it isn't very flimsy and the plastic doesn't scratch too easily. The case looks good in my opinion and the single included fan keeps my CPU and GPU surprisingly cool. It also has nice cut-outs for cables that are well positioned and are not sharp. I found that there is plenty of room for cable management and I did not have a problem even with a 180mm modular PSU. The removable dust filters are good the fact that you can change the trim colour is also very nice. The rear covers for where you put graphics cards all have thumbscrews which is nice.Unfortunately there is no room for fans at the top of the case but unless you have an unusually hot build you should be fine, this does however limit radiator positioning. The dust filters are not magnetic which is a bit annoying and the PSU dust filter is cheap and flimsy but still gets the job done. Unfortunately there are only two USB ports on the case both of which are USB 3.0, this may be a problem for some people.Overall this is a great case especially if you can get it at a good price.

Brilliant case, would highly recommend this for the price
Brilliant case, would highly recommend this for the price.Although this case does have restrictive airflow at the front panel, this is easily solved by using a 120/140mm high static pressure fan or two to force the air through the small openings. Also good cable management will reduce temps considerably inside the case, and personally I don't think removing the front panel for a 2-3 degree Celsius drop on both the cpu and gpu is worth it when a good high static pressure fan will do the job.FX8350 overclocked to 4.6ghz on air(Hyper TX3 evo) I see idle temps in the low 30's and load temps in the low 50s.HD6950 overclocked to 900mhz gpu and 1375mhz memory on air I see idle temps of 35 and load temps in the low 60's in a room with an ambient temp in the low 20'sPROS: sleek looking minimal caseCONS: only came with one ssd plate for mounting, I need two.

Sleek and stylish, within a tight budget
Initially I had intended using the little brother to this case (Masterbox 3.1), but due to a long delay on release; this is a reasonable alternative. I've built many systems over the years, this is the first to build a true gaming system. Out the box, it is solid and well designed with one rear 120mm fan as standard; and hidden area for the PSU. What I initially thought was a tempered glass side panel, turned out to be an acrylic sheet; tinted to give a smoked glass effect. The front panel (removable), allows access to place 3 additional 120mm fans or two 120mm + one 140mm. The internal area is spacious enough to hold everything needed, with HDD's tucked neatly away at the back of the case; while the SSD is mounted next to the mobo. The addition of some lights and RGB fans, really brings this case to life and worth the small expense that it costs. If your looking for a good qualty, budget case, with some style and pizazz; this is the one I would recommend.

High quality for the money you will pay for ! Highly recommended !
I love this case ! I have use it for more than a month now.It's very spacious and it looks AMAZING when your setup is done (now depends on wich components are you gonna choose of course :D ) .I use a huge radiator and it fits perfect. : Floe Riing RGB 360 TT Premium Edition ; Radiator's dimension : 393 x 120 x 27 mm .I think this case deserves much more money than what it costs now due it's performance and quality.I recommend this product and also the seller because he packed it very well and the delivery was fast.

The main point of a case is decent airflow...
Like many other reviews, I will focus quite a bit on the cooling aspect of this case (Lite 5, RGB version). But before that, some positives.The whole case looks sleek and premium, the glass panel really does add to this look of professional gaming, in a sense. Easy to unscrew and mount on and off, so no issues at all.With regards to mounting all of my components, there is enough space for everything your heart may desire, especially when it comes to the size of GPU! I had no issues mounting my ATX motherboard with my GTX 1070 Ti. The cable management is very good, at least compared to my old case. There is a lot of holes and slots through which you can discreetly wire down all the cables. My only exception is the GPU 4pin connector, which as many of you may know is at the very end of GPU point outwards. So I have one bundle of cables just lightly dangling in the case, pretty much the only visible cable in the whole setup.I cannot review the RGB unfortunately, my Motherboard not only does it not have USB 3.0 port but also to connect the RBG. But I imagine the USBs with a case like this will work just fine.The fans are silent, I can still hear them when its fairly quiet but it is nowhere near the feeling that the case will take off like a plane. When watching a movie, playing games or music, it is like they are not even there - so that is a good plus.Also, I think it is worth mentioning the feet on the very bottom of the case. They are surprisingly good! I found it quite hard to move the case myself when it sat on the floor, I had to use a fair amount of force just to push it. I would without a doubt place on my desk without worrying that it will slide away. Furthermore, the balance of the case is pretty decent. Obviously, since the PSU is mounted at the very bottom of the case, this does lower the centre of mass making slightly more difficult to topple over. I personally have mine set underneath my desk, and well... I do put my feet on it quite a bit. It is a very good leg rest.Bear in mind that despite it being somewhat well balanced, it was not made for that. It will topple over if you push it from the top. It stands on its own very well and be able to withstand minor 'earthquakes'.Moving onto cooling...While the front fans are an excellent addition to the case, the front panel of the case is not suitable for this. It has very small holes for airflow at the bottom and at the top, protected by the anti-dust material. The fans are trying to blow in more air than the holes allow them to, for a case of this price, it should not be an issue.I have seen many other owners of this case simply modifying their front panel by drilling more holes in it to allow more air in. I have personally experimented a little bit (I didn't drill holes yet, but I might).While under medium load, namely gaming on low settings, I was averaging a GPU temp of 63C and CPU 65C (and 83C in extreme cases). Then, I took off the front panel completely. I exposed the 3 fans to the maximum air available to them, no little holes, just air.My temperatures dropped by 12C for my GPU and roughly 18C for my CPU. If you ask me, that is a lot. It only shows that the case was simply not optimised to airflow at all.I am now contemplating on simply cutting off the front side of the panel and sticking the anti-dust sheet instead. This would hugely improve the airflow, hopefully, it won't compromise the looks as much. But then again, would you rather fry your expensive insides or have a nice looking case?Another issue I found, is that there is no place at the top of the case to mount a radiator for CPU cooling or another set of fans. Heat travels up so it only would be logical to have some sort of fans forcing the air out. I just feel like that the small fan at the back, which is included, is not enough to keep up with the other 3 fans. Again, not optimised to cooling...Should you buy this case?When I was cooling for a case, I wanted to be able to see the insides, so tempered glass, I wanted it to look appealing and professional, hence this case. But I falsely assumed that the airflow of this case is decent enough, I was wrong. While it is not bad, it could be a lot better - especially since this is one of the main jobs of the case: cooling.So, honestly, if you like this one, go on ahead and get it. But if you can throw in another $10-20 to buy a case which not only looks nice but, more importantly, has excellent cooling: please just save up and get a different one.A case is for a long time, you probably will exchange your chipset once if not twice before you change a case, if at all. You cannot really go on with a cheap case for your setup, it will just compromise the rest of your expensive setup. At least, that is the way I feel about them.

Amazing!
This case is beautiful and is so aesthetically pleasing, it has a lot of space for very large parts and is really easy to put the parts inside it with helpful drawers for hard drives and loads of space for multiple graphics cards. My only problem with it is that the front fans are very loud which isn’t much of a problem for me as I use a headset but apart from the fans being a bit noisy (which can be fixed by replacing them with any other rgb fans) it is a brilliant case and would highly recommend!

Modificada por mi
Yo le doy 5 estrellas por q calidad precio esta muy bien yo la he modificado un poco por que las temperaturas no son las ideales me abría gustado poder poner ventiladores en la parte superior q no se puede por eso la modifique le puse bisagras en la parte frontal y la abro como si fuera una puerta. Gestión de cables bien. Y también le cambié el logo ya que monte todo de msi

Excellent, 5 étoiles sans hésiter
Je ne m'attendais pas à pareille qualité pour un si petit prix.Points positifs :-Qualité de finition du boîtier, pas d'arêtes coupantes.-Qualité de conception, la position des differents éléments est bien pensée et permet un montage aisé et aéré. Très bonne surprise : deux emplacemebts HDD avec système sans vis.-Présence d'un double fond permettant un cable management efficace.-120x360mm de disponibles en façade pour la ventilation.- Système de vis à main pratique et efficace, que ce soit pour les panneaux latéraux ou bien la platine SSD.-Design sobre mais élégant avec son plexiglas fumé. L'ajout de LEDs le rendra plus «sportif».-Emballage top qualité pour une protection optimale lors du transport.Points négatifs :-Pas d'emplacement lecteur DVD. Mais bon, on est en 2018... en a-t-on vraiment encore besoin?-Bruyant, surtout avec le ventilateur d'origine.Achetez les yeux fermés et n'hésitez pas à le compléter d'un ou deux accessoires (2 ventilateurs et une bande led molex pour ma part...) pour le transformer en boitier haut de gamme pour un prix ridicule.Photos :1- Facade avec 1 ventilateur led blanches2- Flanc sans éclairage3 et 4 - Illustration de la praticité du double fond mour le cable management. Sur la photo 4 on voit le système de fixation du SSD.5- Vue en contre-plongée. Vous remarquerez un support en PVC et caoutchouc, bricolage perso, pour soutenir la carte graphique.5 étoiles, 5 stars, 5 sternen, 5 estrelias. Que dire de plus?
