EC2 Black ATX Mid Tower PC Case, Type-C Ready, Supports 50 Series Graphics Cards, Tempered Glass Side Panel, up to 8 x 120mm Cooling Fans & 1 x 360mm Radiator, 1 x Pre-Installed Fan

You won't find something less expensive at this quality I'd wager. This is an incredible value for a mid tower. Got it for 55 bucks. It's much more compact than the average mid tower (240mm top not 360) but that was a huge positive I didn't even check for. The smaller size, assuming you don't have a 5090 is literally perfect for asthetics and setting up a nice clean build. Removable GPU panels instead of breakaways, extremely near easily removable opening glass door. I like this case better than my main build, and that is a 120 dollar case! Don't get me wrong, it's very nice, but it's heavy and too much glass. This is the perfect size and feature list for PC without going micro ATX. 1 Free case fan in the back, and no fan hub, just fair warning. I didn't need those for this because I'm just repurposing parts for a build for my friend, but it should be noted that's where some price cuts went. But they didn't go to quality! Fantastic case.

You literally won't find a better case at this price point. Absolutely terrific value. It's not much bigger than the case I replaced, which was about the same price when I bought it 10 months ago, but everything is just structured better, and the metal doesn't feel super cheap. There's more room for a bigger graphics card (340mm as opposed to my last case's max of 280mm), so there's plenty of space for upgrades. Cable management was a breeze with the abundance of holes and openings for cables to go to all the right places on my motherboard. Also, there's plenty of space on the rear side of the case for cable management, with more than enough cable tie points. The PSU shroud is nice and roomy as well, with an included hard drive bay tucked inside, which I appreciate, as my last case did not include one. The shroud also allows for even better cable management, especially if you're using a non-modular PSU with extra cables that you don't need. I just bundled them up and zip tied them together and tucked them away, allowing my case to stay fairly clean and open for maximum airflow, while also not making me worry if I would be able to get my side panel back on without a fight. The swiveling tempered-glass side panel that is fully removeable is a nice touch. With the mesh front panel, bottom and top vents (with dust filters; the top filter being magnetic), and rear exhaust, the case feels practically open for lots of air flow. As far as noise level, as with any mostly-open, high-volume airflow case, it strongly depends on your setup. With room for up to eight (8) 120mm case fans, or six (6) 120mm fans and two (2) 140mm fans (top vent), there's lots of room for efficient cooling. But if you're like me, you don't care too much about the noise, as you tend to tune it out when you're immersed in an intense gaming session. So, I have my GPU switched to performance mode, and my case fans are set to keep things nice and chilly, so it can get a bit noisy at times, but again, nothing that really bothers me too much. If you have a dual-BIOS GPU set to quiet mode, and have your fans fine-tuned to perform at maximum efficiency with minimal noise, the openness of the case, while creating the possibility for more noise exposure, also allows for plenty of airflow for efficient cooling, allowing your fans to keep things moving at a nice, low dB. Overall, it's a solid case. As stated at the beginning, you won't find a better value case for the price.

Overall a great case. The pros; the price is right, fits atx boards and has room for extra hard drives. My one complaint is that the usb 3 header doesn’t fit the case’s cable with my x870 motherboard. A quick fix with an angled adapter but something to keep in mind. I used a peerless assassin 120 se and could only fit one 140mm fan on the top for exhaust with this cooler. Finally, I wasn’t sure if I’d like the glass panel on a hinge but it makes it easy to access the components. Priced right and good features.

Package arrived without issue (all the way to Fiji). Normal styrofoam was used with single boxing but no damages. The case is a decent budget case (with 1 each usb2,3 and c front ports) and comes with a rear exhaust fan which is nice (i replaced it for aesthetic). Side glass is sturdy and hinged which is also nice. Fits 06 fans (used corsair rgb 120s) 3 front intakes, 2 for upper exhaust and replaced the rear case fan with another corsair for exhaust. There is nothing wrong with no rgb/argb but this was a gift for a friend so spruced the build up with rgb (but really hate the icue software). Am not into rgb (no rgb is the norm) but gotta admit it does add personality (mentally) to an otherwise all black case (used white static lighting at its dimmest which makes it look kinda like the b/w superman logo aesthetic). Can fit a 3 slot gpu comfortably but do consider a 90 degree adaptor for clearance from the glass panel. Airflow is very nice and airy, no inner dust guards (top one is a magnetic mat only so its nice) and temps are good (idling in 30s celcius and 60-70C under loads...in Fiji's hot December room temps) (specs: msi mpg edge wifi ddr5, 64gb vengeance, 13700k, dc-ak620 aircooler, wdblack sn770 1tb and another crucial 2tb ssd with a stock 10gb 3080). All front ports work and cable management takes some time but no bulging of the side panel with decent cabling/zipties etc. Would buy again as Fiji retailers don't have any (all over Fiji) tower cases at all with front usb c ports (the msi mobo would've been a bit of waste without front usbc). So far no issues from my friend and I hope this build lasts him a decent number of years (the refurb optiplex we got gave up after about an year). Overall, a decent product and vinaka to retailer.

Great for the price. Easy to build in great design for a cheap case. Great airflow

Been building for 10 years. Always used Fractal Design cases. They're easy to work with and are solid quality. But they're also expensive. I wanted a cheap case for a spare parts PC. It had to be compact. No fish tanks. Glass panel optional. Good airflow. And under $60. This met everything and more. At no point did I feel frustrated. Not once did I think "this is what I get for paying $60". I will 100% be buying this again. + Glass panel swings like a door. Held by magnets. Easy to pull with a small fabric tab. Easy to disconnect the entire panel from the hinges. Makes dusting and tinkering easy. + Good cable management. Power supply shroud to hide non modular cables. Good routing holes for power supply cables and front port cables. + Two (2) USB 3.0 ports and one (1) USB C port. + One pre-installed fan in the back with a long cable to hook anywhere on your motherboard. + Mesh front for airflow. + Maximum graphics card length is 340mm (shorter than my personal Meshify 2 Compact at 360mm) which makes the case smaller. + Power supply shroud to hide extra non-modular cables. I removed the hard drive cage and strongly recommend you, too, if you don't use a spinning disk. + Tinted (dark) glass panel is surprisingly light. + Generally lightweight. Other reviewers complain it's "flimsy" but the thinner metals is exactly why it's lightweight. Case felt stable the entire time. Weight is a serious concern because these computers go to kids and people with less strength. - Front mesh panel can be difficult to pull off with your hands. Needs decent force. It's held by plastic connectors. When done, it can be confusing to know which side is up or down so do a gentle test before using force to re-connect it. - Installing front fans can be difficult because you need to screw it from behind (so inside the case). Other cases, you hold the fans from the inside and screw from the outside. This can be made much easier with buying a 360mm all-in-one fan (three fans in one with one cable) so you only have to use four (4) screws instead of twelve (12).

Cons: The holes for the motherboard were a few millimeters off, which was very annoying and meant I had to do a lot of finagling to get everything aligned correctly without breaking the board. They also did not include the correct mounting hardware, which was another hassle. There were no instructions and I had to look up videos of how to take the front cover off to install the fans. There are no mounting brackets for hard drives, but there are screw holes to mount them if you buy third party ones or salvage them off an older build (what I did). Pros: Affordable case with good air flow and attractive sleek design. I went with no RGB because I wanted an understated unassuming build that prioritized performance and this is a good choice if you want something small, affordable, and attractive. Bottom Line: If you know what you're doing and you want a small, simple, sleek case, this is for you. If you are a beginner or you want something that has more functionality for things like multiple drives, I'd keep looking (probably at Corsair).

Very well made case. Will recommend. Design is flawless. It is a gorgeous gaming case. Easy to install mobo and parts. The mounting was ease. The placement of ssd or storage is plenty and well strategized. Reasonable low price.
