It's a great case with great airflow
By Scott on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025
Originally the first one i received had a bend panel where the motherboard would go so i had to replace it, they sent a replacement and i got it within 2 days, it fits a Micro-ATX motherboard perfectly, the tempered glass has a metal frame, the case was very easy to build in, fits a normal ATX power supply, the case design looks tiny though cable management was a breeze even on the back, IO connectors and everything are perfect, it's a lightweight case with great airflow. It's a great case, my only suggestion would be to change the filter design for under the power supply, It's metal mesh with tabbed corners, it requires bending it to be removed if needed. the rest of the mesh on the case is a nice magnetic trim metal mesh, but it's truly a nice looking case, light but not at all flimsy, the RGB fans had no issues and work with the MSI Mortar motherboard i put in it, the mesh/filters are easy to remove just don't bend them much as it is metal mesh the IO panel on top is very nicely designed, the bottom basically puts the PSU in it's own wind tunnel so the cooler air is balanced through the case front to back and allows you to hide the extra wires of you don't have a modular power supply. Possible downside, the PCIE port slots in the back are pop-tabs with a support plate like older pc have, it's not a problem unless you're planning to add and remove PCIE parts, you can't put the tabs back on as their break-away for the slot you need. if you're getting a case with pop tabs though, this is the style you'd want as it has a support bracket.

Make sure you get updated version.

CM did a revision of the case with updated dust filters as the originals were restricting airflow. Ordered this from Amazon on 08/24 and received the old version. Ended up getting the revised filters from cooler master directly. Would add an extra star if you manage the updated version. Case builds up nicely overall. The flatpack nature makes routing cables and the build pretty painless. One of the smaller cases that’ll accept a full size ATX motherboard. Would recommend a SFX power supply to give a little more breathing room for cable management if front mounting the power supply. This will give more clearance of using a larger GPU. Be aware that some SFX cables will be too short for this case as they’re normally made with ITX cases in mind. Phanteks Revolt 850w were long enough. I tried a Corsair 850 SFX as well and the 8pin CPU cables were too short if you try to route them behind the mb.

Particularly long sessions have seen sometimes hit low 60s but overall pretty good for such a small case imo. One negative is that you cannot buy an extra mesh side panel so normally would have to use the glass side (worse temps) or put it on the other side with the cables (would look bad). I managed to find someone selling their mesh panel so I could run it on both sides. This looks better imo and also better cooling.
