I regret purchasing this case due to its small size and difficult installation process. The build quality is also subpar, as the front of my case was damaged, causing the power button to be stuck in the on position. To resolve this issue, I had to rewire the power circuit through the restart button. Despite these drawbacks, the front USB and audio sockets function properly. It's a shame about the power button though.
The benefits of this case include its affordability, ability to hold all components, and dust protection for the motherboard. I also did not experience any injuries during installation, which can be a concern with cheaper cases. Therefore, there is justification for purchasing a reputable brand even at this price point.
However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The space behind the motherboard tray for cable management is extremely limited. Additionally, the panels and switches feel flimsy in quality. Unlike another reviewer, I was able to connect the front-panel audio without much difficulty using my Gigabyte H81M-H motherboard.
Since my build was basic, I cannot provide feedback on cooling or space for graphics cards. If you simply need an inconspicuous box for a budget build, this case will suffice. However, if you plan on reusing the case in the future or want to invest more sentiment into your build, it would be wise to explore other options and potentially spend a bit more money - even just £10 could get you a sturdier case.
