Review: Solid, Big - Many moons ago most PC's were desktop styled then of course the tower design took over. However, there are some advantages to this style and for me this was a good choice partially because I will probably rack mount it - using the optional mounts - at some point in the future. Currently this is sat on a small table next to where my wife uses it and it reasonably neat looking in this position. Of course if your bag is massive amounts of LED's, water cooling and glass panels then this isn't the case for you. If you want to be a bit more stealthy then it could be ideal. It's full sized and thus has plenty of room for anything you may want to install including the ever more massive GPU's that seem to have become as big as the motherboards today. It's well made and has plenty of natural ventilation which could be fitted with more fans if needed. It comes with one case fan which, is as near to silent as I could imagine. In use this PC is quieter than I expected and the single fan plus plenty of vents seems to allow good all round cooling. Inside you get the usual mounting points, a bag of fixtures and the front panel connections which, are simple to connect to your motherboard. Overall, this is a great choice if you want to have a rack or desk mounted case for tolerable money. Review: Great case for a HTPC - Easy to build in, I wish it had a bit more HDD space but not enough to take away a star. Easily fit a large rtx2060 in there with still enough airflow for all the components. Looks nice enough that I don't mind having it on a shelf rather than hidden away in a cabinet
