This case is unique and functional I really enjoy the small form-factor, and the side-ways orientation (the front panel is the long side of the case.) I built my system around the Asus B450 a- Wifi II board. The ARGB fans are great. My only issue is that the fans are 3-pin and not 4-pin pwm (three pin fans are compatible with the 4-pin, PWM motherboard header. It only uses the first three pins.) Also, all three fans are set as intake, and two fans on top as intake will suck dust into the case. There's plenty of room in the case for large GPUs. The removable glass side panel makes working in the case easy. The back panel has plenty of room for cable management. Read more

Bought as a gift for my son, so this is his review: Taking a chance with this brand of case with both style and affordability, I was quite pleased at how well the case is constructed and feels. Yes, the metal is thin and has a little flex, it’s not that big of a deal and is well built. Contrary to some complaints other reviewers had with the PCI-E cover on the back, I had zero issues with this and feel it might be user error as you’re only supposed to unscrew it a little and slide it back and forth. The only time the thumb screw for the back plate needs to be removed, is to access the screw for the 3rd slots screw, but because the plate itself has holes for a screwdriver to go through it’s clear this plate is simply not designed to be removed; thus, I encountered no issues, and it worked as advertised. The RGB fans and fan controller work quite well actually. The fans each house 6 LEDs, and the fan controller can be plugged into the motherboard. If you press the LED switch on the front of the case, your motherboard is overridden and the fans follow your preference (there is no way to allow the motherboard to regain control of the controller if you do this, you have to power the computer down and turn it back on to allow the motherboard to regain control over the LED controller). If you wish to allow the motherboard full control over the LED controller and not have a button, you can absolutely repurpose the LED button as a “reset” button instead if you desire as well. The glass is extremely clear, and I mean extremely clear. I love how well the glass looks, and the edge-to-edge corner is quite straight. In fact, the glass door is so nice and easy to slide, compared to my ThinkCentre I had before this (which was designed to be easily maintained in the field) had a door that took more effort to slide, and this Okino’s case does. In fact, you can open the panel with one pinky finger it’s that smooth to open. Also, while it’s not entirely obvious, the fans at the top come shipped as exhaust fans. One reviewer complained this is backwards and would heat up your computer, however this is not correct. Per convection cooling, hot air rises, thus you want to pull that air out. The “skirt” on the bottom of the computer is also an intake vent, and with very fine mesh holes it acts as a natural filter that simply needs a wipe down over time, but you do absolutely want the 3 fans it ships with set as exhaust, or you might trap heat in. You can however if you purchase slim 120mm fans, mount them to the bottom inside of the case, as the case comes with long screws just for this purpose, that way if you use slim 120mm fans at the bottom inside of the case they can be configured as intake and pull cold air into the system. There are spots for 2 slim fans, however with a 1080 Ti and Ryzen 5 8600G (both are not overclocked and the 8600G is using the Wraith Stealth cooler it comes with), neither are actually thermal throttling though do get close to Tjmax (both are 10c short, so if you do add intake fans to the bottom, you can greatly improve this). Overall, I love this case, it looks beautiful, has style, and works very much as intended. I will say this, when you construct the computer and are routing the power cables, due to limited space in the bottom, take your time and have a lot of patience. If you have a modular PSU like I do, while it is a pain to get cables attached unless you have small hands, it will help with airflow however by not having lose cables in the bottom skirt just for the sake of having them there. Remove un-used cables for best airflow from your modular PSU and the convection cooling will work far more efficiently. Read more

Lo más compacto en gabinete con vista de pecera. Totalmente recomendable, con buen precio, 3 ventiladores argb 120mm. Excelente compartimiento para todo lo que te plantea. Calidad es buena, conforme al precio. Cuenta con USB 3.0 front panel!! NO se sacrifica espacio para GPU, pero si pierdes en ventilación, unas por otras. Tendrás que definir bien cuál es tu objetivo, si tu interés es el menor espacio para tu PC y además un excelente diseño de pecera, te va encantar. TEMPS con mi ANTERIOR gabinete: CPU: 69c - 71c cinebench20 a 10min. GPU: 60c - 62c en 3dmark steel nomad TEMPS con Okinos Aqua 3 ACTUAL gabinete: CPU: 76c - 77c cinebench20 a 10min GPU: 60c - 62c en 3dmark steel nomad Mi 5700x3d ha aumentado 6c grados debido que no cuenta con ventilación frontal. Sin embargo esta todavía dentro de los parámetros aceptables. Dos puntos extras a tomar: 1.- al ser mi cpu x3d, se calienta mucho más a comparación de una versión X o non-X, si es tu caso, manejaras mejores cifras. 2.- mi disipador no es el más idóneo (cooler master Evo black edition), si le instalas un Thermalright de doble torre te irá mucho mejor. Al no contar con ventilación frontal te da oportunidad de meter GPUs de 33cm o posiblemente de 34cm. Mi Sapphire pulse 7900GRE que mide 32cm entro sin problema. Si tu tarjeta micro ATX tiene la entrada pcie x16 lo suficientemente arriba para necesitar los dos brackets traseros superiores, los 2 abanicos inferiores tendrán suficiente espacio para ventilación e instalación. Algunos tips para ensamblar tu PC en este gabinete: 1.- remover los abanicos superiores para conectar el cable de la CPU, te ahorraras mucho tiempo. 2.- remover los dos cristales templados para poner tu motherboard y en general para toda la instalación. 3.- antes de poner los abanicos inferiores en caso de... Y antes de instalar tu GPU. Conectar todos los cables de tu front panel, ya que después no tendrás espacio suficiente para manipular. Read more

The case is what I would call "DIY customization friendly" and good quality for the price. If you want to DIY install additional front bay peripherals, - like a DVD ROM and a card reader, - you certainly can. In my case I had to do it for a client. I Dremelled the front steel mesh for those, and used aluminum corners to mount both of these to the bottom. Of course, - I had to change the case's cooling scheme because of these DIY modifications (which be warned!) is a " - 3" negative pressure scheme (meaning the 3 fans are positioned to blow air OUT of the case, and air gets passively sucked in from the bottom of the case where there is a mesh. (Which makes the magnetically attached filter to the top of the case - perfectly pointless, filters belong on the bottom where the air goes in). The top filter mesh makes more sense if you choose to do what I did and convert it to +1, -2 negative pressure system (Top front fan blows air inward, the 2 others blow air out of the case, pls. see photos for clarification This is the best scheme if you want to have a large tower cooler with a fan in front. Prime95 testing confirmed this was a viable scheme with temps staying 8-10C below the CPU's TjMax at 100% CPU occupation. The fans are not particularly fast, but they are surprisingly quiet for a budget PC case. The only hiccup (you may want to be aware of) is that only after I did the aforementioned DIY modifications (thereby voiding warranty), did I realize that the fan control PCB was missing a SATA male power to SATA Female power - to 4pin ARGB power adaptor. And while it could be poor QC on company's behalf, it's also true the seller (if different from the maker company) could have checked if everything was included without voiding the warranty before submitting the PC case kits to Amazon handlers/shippers. I decided to take the stars off with seller, since doing so in both reviews would feel too vindictive. If I was somehow incorrect about this - I do hope the seller contacts me so that I would adjust the rating my reviews accordingly. Still, it wasn't cool because I had to either settle for ARGB working for just one fan (not acceptable), or purchase a pack of fans for $40 separately, which is what I did. I could have simply purchased a SATA power cable adapter but it was $26 plus shipping for anything that ships fast, and I wasn't 100% sure the native Okinos board was functional to begin with.

Can't really get any better at this price. I have not built in this chassis yet, however strictly speaking in terms of build quality and looks this case is a top pick for budget MATX builders. Great cable management space, and an Included ARGB fan hub is awesome for keeping your motherboard connections clean, and even better for those who want to increase airflow in the case. The case is very lightweight, atleast with no other components a significant increase is of course expected. There are a few minor issues worth pointing out, there are definitely points in the metal panels that are thinner then other spots. Not a huge issue but if you leave this case on the floor or accidentally bang the metal a little to hard it feels like it could dent easily. The fans included seem fairly low quality and other reviews seem to back this up. I would recommend getting some cheap pwm fans to replace them, they can typically be found for 8.50-10.00$ a piece, the smallest issue I have with the case is the fact the side glass panel comes wrapped on both sides but the front panel is not, only on the outside, there seem to be minor defects on the glass that a camera wouldn't be able to capture, however there are no jarring noticeable scratches on the glass. EDIT, The building experience was immaculate. Lots of space to work with, if your Mobo has a large heatsink on the back IO your probably going to end up not being able to fill the top left 2 stand offs. I would've loved another cable cutout under the graphics card near the GPU, would've made front cable management much easier. I ended up using only one cutout for my PCIE, USB3 and 24 pin then i used the top left cutout for my cpu connectors and fans. When you undo the fan cables you realize how much of a rats nest the ARGB daisychain is in but all hidden by the side panel, I will re manage cables when my cooler and fans come in. Very visually pleasing and worth the buy Read more
