Awesome box for €40, okay maybe the build quality is not like Corsair and NZXT but it has:
- dust filters, bottom for the PSU, top and front
- side panel made of tempered glass!
- a cage for 2 HDDs and slots to screw in 2 SSDs
- fits a cooler and relatively large cards but not very large cards with 3 fans unfortunately
- enough space to close the back panel for cables
- comes with an FRGB Aerocool fan (molex)
generally a very decent box for its price, for those who want to spend that extra money on other components instead of getting a €140 Corsair box for example, this one is more than enough for a mid-range build, and with very good airflow because it has holes in the front
perhaps the best box for this price compared to other boxes on the market.
With this case, I made my first build and I consider it beautiful and worth its money. Its price is what defines it and let me explain.... It doesn't claim quality laurels, as the plastic front is hard plastic and one of the support clips for the metal case has already broken. It also comes with only one fan which has a MOLEX connection and is therefore almost useless. It would be better if it didn't have it and they deducted its cost from the price!
The spaces inside the case are very good considering it is a midi case. Its great advantage is that the level on which the motherboard is supported is flat, completely flat without steps that create space for SSD SATA drives on the back side. With this flat configuration, it can accommodate large graphics cards and also if the motherboard has horizontal sockets, the plugs that will connect to them fit without any problem. In other cases that are much more popular than this one, there is a serious issue with the motherboard sockets (look in another case for my evaluation).
Also, the space for the power supply is very satisfactory, while there is space and enough slots to tie the cables in order to achieve a neat cabling management.
In conclusion, with a price around €35, I consider it the most value-for-money case on the market. Add another €50 and buy a set of A-RGB fans and you have the perfect air flow with dynamic control of both the air flow and the lighting.
Here you are! Don't search anymore. The best value for money case! Very good material and lightweight. It came with magnetic RGB fan filters. With many screws, blades, tie wraps, etc. Very good cable management. The space is very good and gives you a good 'hand' to connect everything. I have never reviewed Scroutz before, but this time I was amazed by the quality I received, especially considering what I paid. The airflow is excellent, with space for water cooling or up to 8-9 fans. The window is real glass! Top!
After setting it up (see photo) ..four stars.
- I start with the packaging that has foam latex, which is more resistant to holding it and not the fake material that crumbles and is not so durable. +1 for this alone. It also comes with packaging and screws for the motherboard, etc. It does NOT have screws for fans.
- It comes with a RGB (rainbow style) 120mm fan at the back, which is beautiful and quite bright, BUT 1) it is Molex 2) if you put it in the front, it is not as visible through the mesh that the case has (but I preferred it over it 'glowing' at the back and ruining the overall look.
- It has a magnetic filter on top, and a simple filter for the power supply at the bottom. Also, the entire 'floor' from the PSU shroud is 'perforated' for more airflow (maybe it can fit 80-120mm fans with a trick if you want extra cooling).
- At the back, it easily fits one HDD and one SSD on top. In the front, there is no space for a 2.5" disk no matter what they say.
- I liked that it is tall and compact so that it sits nicely and 'fills' the eye even with uATX/mATX motherboards. With ATX, it may look even better, of course.
- It has glass, be careful to always lay the PC down to install/remove it, otherwise it will fall off.
Overall, a quite satisfactory impression, I would recommend it for up to 50 euros in total, and not more, for a build with a cost of 500-800 euros. With two extra fans in the front and one in the back, you have very good airflow. I would recommend it
VFM box from aerocool, 3 USB ports on the top, whoever wants to use it for air cooling, it has full air flow, I use it with 3 120mm fans in the front and 2 on top, stable temperature +/-1, comfortably fits ATX motherboards, graphics cards up to 300+mm.
