DYNAMODE DYNA-GC375 LockStock Series Gaming ATX/M-ATX Computer Case Gaming Pc Case With Fans - Black Design Gamer PC Case

What a great little case!Not often I am impressed by cases these days, despite what you pay for them for £20 this is a well put together case. The black powder coating finish is some of the best I’ve seen, even compared to much more expensive cases!The construction is good, and it is rigid, and at least with mine, you won’t be cutting your fingers on the inside of it either!Room for 1 x DVD / CD drive, mounting holes for SSD and places for your normal hard drives.A mount for an 80mm exhaust fan.2 x Side panel mounts for 120mm fans – With the side panel, if you want to mod your case, Dremel out the fan holes and put in a Window!1 x front panel mount for either a 120mm or 140mm fan.The front plastic panel feels and looks good too, this case is really well built and credit due to Dynamode for it! There is a removable metal grill and fan filter.The front panel connections are passable, they’re ok, and even an extra slot you can break out to add in an extra USB port if you are willing to put in the time and mod.The front stickers, they were already peeling on mine, but hey, 60-90 days in a shipping container, then a warehouse, then delivery, and for the money, can’t complain. A good opportunity for a mod though, you could Dremel out the indents, fill them with a glue gun, and get some RGB leds in there, or use a front mounted RGB fan!For the money, a really good quality case, and I’ve seen and used cases much worse at 3 times the price! Perfect modding opportunities too!One gripe – could have had some stick on rubber feet on the bottom of the case, careful you don’t scratch a work surface or desktop. For a few £’s, might be worth getting some?!Other than that, well done Dynamode!Overall, a cheap, great value, well built case, well finished case, with plenty of options for fans and air flow. Would suit an AMD Ryzen APU build or something similar!For my case, completely dismantled, every rivet, so I do know how well it’s built, and it is good, but for mine, I shall be using the bits to mod something rather different for a PC build!

Bought this case to re-house my wife's computer.She didn't need a big perspex window or lots of bling, but she did want something quiet which to me meant good airflow without lots of small whiny fans. This is one of few cases that tick both boxes in the budget category.She also liked the fact it was quite compact, and the buttons on the top made them easy to reach while under the desk.The case doesn't come with any fans of its own installed. The plastic front pops off without too much effort to allow a 140mm fan to be fitted. The side panel will take a pair of 120mm fans, but if you have a large tower cooler such as a Hyper 212 (15.9cm tall) it will just fit, with the tips of the heat pipes touching the side. BOTH side fan mounts will be blocked.The rear exhaust will only fit an 80mm fan. I didn't bother fitting one as the aforementioned tower cooler is aimed directly at it and the air finds its way out well enough.With a 1050Ti (75W) and 95W Intel CPU, everything stays reasonably cool & well below throttling limits with just the one 140mm intake, PSU fan and rear-grille facing CPU fan and is very quiet.Cable routing options are good with enough space behind the motherboard tray to secure any spare wires or slack, keeping the main space unobstructed.At no point during fitting did the case demand a blood sacrifice, which is particularly refreshing at this price point.I haven't tried it with a more power hungry graphics card, a 300W monster would likely overwhelm it.

This is a cheap case so don't expect much. It does the job. Colours on the front are stickers which arrived half peeled off and the case itself is cheaply made.

Good case for the price. The metal is quite flimsy, which isn't too bad considering the price, but the screw holes for the stand off screws aren't the best and if you screw the stand offs in too tight they'll just become loose and it'll be very difficult to install the motherboard well. It can also be quite difficult to put a full sized graphics card in this case I have an EVGA GTX 950 and I had to twist and turn it a bit to get it in. However, there are 4 fan mounts so it has good airflow and its got a lot of space round the back for cable management. The paint is quite good as well. Good value for money overall.

Ok so, some of the many issues I've had with this case in the month since I bought it are:Major issues:-Metal frame is sharp and has drawn blood-Having the power pack at the top, along with no spaces for fans at the top either, creates a pocket of hot air above the CPU that creates horrendous thermal throttling (has led to shutdowns), so case works best on its side or upside-down.Minor issues:-No feet-Fans attached at the front will clip against the front of the case, I had to unclip the bottom half of the front to remedy it.-Very few/not enough screws supplied to attach storageOverall, unless you are prepared, and happy to remedy these I would recommend against this case, especially as there are so many higher-quality cases for £5-£10 more.
