Boy, this case surprised me. At first when I got this case in my hands I was a bit skeptical of what it’s value was over the already immensely popular Sonata III casing. Well for starters the inside is completely revamped. There are lots of functional features that you simply couldn’t miss once you’ve used them. The design is either liked or disliked, but it being somewhat dull yet refined, it’s hard to dislike. Build quality is again very good. It has no sharp edges and it feels very rigid. Apart from the suspension system, the cramped space and the lacking of thumbscrews. I highly recommend this case to anyone who’s looking for the best price / performance deal and above all functionality and silence.

Final Verdict

  • Package deal (Case + Power supply)
  • Dampening material makes the case even more silent
  • Strong yet silent power supply included
  • Front ports are useful
  • No removable motherboard tray
  • Lots of functionality
  • Design dull for some, but very sleek.
  • Only one fan included
  • Close to internal perfection if made slightly larger.
  • Not very spacious
  • Suspension system is not my thing.
