Great case!
An excellent case for the price! Compact, but still able to fit a full size psu and large gpu. Can be a challenge to fit all the components, so carefully plan your build and expect to try different solutions. Overall for an sff build has plenty of room and air flow. Very happy with my new travel pc. I must also add that the customer service from the seller was amazing, quickly resolving an issue I'd had with my purchase in a very friendly and professional way. 10/10.

Cheap, clumsy, effective.
This case is cheap and has an insane layout with almost nonsensical solutions. However, while fiddly and not intuitive, it does somewhat work. It has an extension cable for the power supply which makes the power button inaccessible once mounted internally, which could be somewhat better, but it does actually help compress the size down. I paired it with a non-modular 750w PSU to save money - avoid this if you can, as it gets very cramped, and I wouldn't trust the extension cable with high-capacity PSUs. Modular is far better for this design, I wish it had a metal side panel instead of the glass one, too. But all in all, it does what it is supposed to do; it is a cheap M-ATX case that fits what I need it to fit. I can cram in a B-grade motherboard with room for a couple SSD chips, and a dual fan graphics card. As it comes with no fans, low-power builds make the most sense. For additional fans, make sure you get some small and slim ones, there's really not much room to work with. Noise level is wholly dependent on what fans you get and how you mount them. Overall, it is cheap, it is stupid, and it is maybe even a bit crap. But no other cases do what this tries to do at this price point, so that's something. It is far cheaper than an ITX case or true SFF build, a few minor improvements to materials and design would uplift it significantly, but as-is it's fine for a compact build to shove in a corner, under a desk, or into a suitable shelf.

A high end case for a budget price
This case is unbelievable value for the price, entirely powder coated steel, with a full length glass panel, honeycomb pattern ventilation. Possibly the smallest m-atx case I've ever seen for a full sized PSU. I don't understand the poor reviews, I swapped my components from my old case over in about 45 minutes, with no challenges. There is a PSU bracket to take off before installing the PSU and an extension cable that needs fixing in place before you put the PSU + bracket back. There's even some room for cable management. Everything aligns really well, motherboard, I/O interface, rear fan, no tinkering was needed. The best £33 I've ever spent.

Utter Rubbish
Complete rubbish. Screws that come with the case barely work and if they do they'll break off after first contact! Leaving you unable to dismantle the case further. Will be returning 100% as case is completely unusable. Nothing is measured according to fit and the case comes with no screw holes for fans / drives or anything important. Do NOT BUY.

Cheap so you get what you pay for
As title says. Material is okay but the layout and thought design is horrendous with no manual. Im a very experienced builder so I built comfortably nevertheless but a new builder would struggle for sure. Io shield cutout is misguided. No airflow through the bottom. Has separate stands but no screws to actually fit under. Most of the cases features all have to be installed manually. Like the power connector, case handle, bottom standoffs etc. Cool case regardless and decent value for what it provides, but i would spend the extra for a deepcool Ch160 for example.

Cost effective
Cheap and cheerful but does the job for small builds. 90mm fan on the rear. Space for x2 120mm on thr top and bottom. SSD mounting holes on thr bottom for vertical mounting but no front intake provision. Good if you just need something cost effective and can handle the lack of cable management.

Good nuff case
Good enough case looks nice fits the parts nicely ect one problem is how am i supposed to plug in the psu while building it bc the cable is angled the wrong way and just gets mashed into the back of the case but it works (also the side panel screws dont fit i just used some randoms one that did)

Good budget case
Good quality, however be awake this is a small case and gets very hot especially on the am5 platform

This is my second time buying the V500 and it has definitely improved since the previous revision. The metal feels thicker, the handle mount is stronger, and the mesh is a lot less restrictive which noticeably helps airflow. That was the main reason I chose it for my newest ITX build. The case can be tricky to work in, especially if you are using a non modular PSU and cable extensions like I did. My configuration was not what this case was originally designed around and the Thermalright SL 100 top down cooler ended up conflicting with the PSU power cable extension at the top left. I had to route and zip tie the cable outside the case to make it work. It still looks clean in the final build, just be ready to use creative cable management. My unit had shipping and quality issues. The acrylic side panel was scratched underneath the protective film and the paint on the front of the case had bubbling from poor adhesion. I did not have time to wait for a replacement, but customer support came through and offered a 50 percent refund which is the only reason this review is 5 stars instead of 4. What could be improved: • Better shipping control for the acrylic panel, and overall quality control for the case's paint • Glass side panel felt more premium than acrylic • A PSU cover that hides the label and the empty gap under the PSU would make the build look much cleaner without vinyl wrapping What I liked: • Thicker metal compared to Rev 1 • Stronger handle mount • Better mesh filter and airflow Relevant specs: RTX 3060 12 GB Ryzen 5 3600 Thermalright SL 100 Thermaltake 600 watt ATX 3.1 PSU This will be my go to case for future ITX builds around similar specs because the price makes it a very attractive option once you know its quirks.

The case is not for new builders. I'm an experienced PC builder and this case does pose some challenges with parts fitment. The intial build used a non-modular PSU and the 6800XT MSI Gaming Trio X. I encountered some issues with the GPU width and the excess cables from the PSU. If you plan to use this case I highly recommend using a 2 fan or 3 fan slim GPU 2 or 2 1/2 slot GPU, a 138mm cpu cooler, and a semi-modular or modular PSU. For the final build I ended up using a SFF psu from CoolerMaster and the 2 slot/2 fan ASRock Challenger 7800XT. I was also able to install two 120mm slim fans (15mm thick) at the bottom as intake, one 92mm fan as rear exhaust and one 120mm top fan set to exhaust. The case is as big as the CoolerMaster NR200P. Lastly, I just wish the case comes offered with a vented, metal side panel instead of the tempered glass. Also, I wish the front panel also had some venting holes so that we can change the PSU's mounting. Overall, I am super satisfied with the case. I will definitely buy another one for another build. See below for my parts list CPU: AMD Ryzen 7700X Motherboard: B650M ASUS TUF with WiFi GPU: ASRock Challenger 7800XT OC edition PSU: Cooler Master V850 SFX (modular) CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 90 SE

For the price, this case is a great value and I’m very satisfied overall. It’s simple, lightweight, and small, which I really appreciate. If I had to point out one downside, the design around installing the PSU and power extension cord could have been better — not the most convenient. Also, I personally wish there was a mesh option for the side panel instead of just glass. Other than that, it’s an excellent case for the money.

O gabinete entrega o prometido, estou dando uma avaliação baixa por que o vidro veio quebrado e tive que comprar um acrilico para substituir

You'll need to be good at cable management. This case is great value and if you out fans in the bottom the cooling is good.
