CiT S506 Slim Desktop Case, M-ATX, Horizontal Or Vertical Installation, 1 x 80mm Black Fan Included, 1 x USB2.0, 2 x USB3.0, Perfect In Any environment | Black

This case is surprisingly good for its price. The included RGB fans are not speed controlled but they do come pre connected to a basic fan hub mounted behind the ssd mount point. The cable routing is fairly good and there is plenty of space to hide cables behind the tray and in the basement.The window is smoked plastic, but it gives a passable appearance of glass unless you inspect it closely.There are pretty flexible mounting options for hardware, filtered intake for PSU on the underside, mounting points for fans or a water pump on top of the basement and it looks like a 240mm radiator could be mounted in the front but as the front isnt vented performance might be less than ideal.All in all the case is good, particularly for the price. It is surprisingly roomy inside, i managed to fit a full 7 slot ATX motherboard with a large 120mm tower cooler easily, and even though my PSU is not modular there is plenty of space to stow cables out of sight.

Very suprised at this case. The quality was way better than I had initially assumed by the low price. Has noise dapening on both removable panels. Space for 3 120mm fans at the front and 1 120mm at the back. Comes with velcro cable ties at the back for convenient cable management. For a no frills everything you need budget case this is a great choice.If I had to give a negative, the air intake holes at the front of the case could be bigger for a little better airflow. However temps in the case seem to be holding steady at decent range. For this price point however, is good

This case is great at being a budget option for those who are looking for a slim, sleek and compact case to build a small form factor build in, which is why I was drawn to building in the case. I hadn't heard of the brand before this, however the quality of the case is quite good for around £30.The case has a good exterior, however one issue is that there is no Front panel audio, which means you are limited to the rear motherboard audio jacks. Not a big issue for me - just watch out. Inside, it is almost a carbon copy of the Dell Optiplex cases, which is a good thing as they are very well built, however the drive mounting bays in this case are a little difficult to do and take some time and patience to secure a drive in.As mentioned by another reviewer, you will need to have a TFX power supply as the standard PSUs are too large, so make sure you check the clearance before you buy.My case was missing a few parts but Amazon came to the rescue and gave a partial refund, however the power and disk activity LEDs were loose when I got it, so it took a while to re-position them to their respective holes in the front panel. Also note the 80mm fan supplied isn't the best (loud whine when trying to cool the internals) so I recommend getting a replacement one for long term use.Overall it's a great case for £30, just don't expect a rock solid build quality as it's cheap at the end of the day.

Good value for money option for mini-itx or micro-atx builds providing your cooling needs are minimal. Bear in mind that there is no ventilation holes at all in this case except at the front (concealed) where there is a mount for a 80mm fan and the back where there is a mesh area just over the connector panel at the motherboard (with no mount points for fans). Note also that the swivelling metal frame for the drives is not removable and further compromise the already restricted ventilation coming from the front even when no drives are actually installed. To make things even worse, the front intake fan, while almost inaudible, achieve its low sound profile by reducing its spin speed to a minimum which of course also further impact on cooling performance. Clearly, even with low-power hardware, the components inside are going to get cooked with this set up. Hopefully there are workarounds. You could, as I did remove the swivelling case for the drives by carefully forcing it out of the pivot points, then airflow from the front to the motherboard will be unrestricted. Then, provided you've got an spare PCI slot on your build, you could install a fan to extract hot air out of the case through one of the pci slots at the back. You could also mount a couple of 40mm fans on the metal mesh on top of the connector panel even when there are not mounting points for them using sticky tape or a glue gun. Both these options are expensive upgrades. Another point, don't be fooled by the pictures and think the front panel is brushed aluminium it is plastic imitating brushed aluminium but it is a good imitation I must say. Finally be aware that the mobo connector for the USB3 port at the front of the case is angled, not straight which, as in my case, may prevent you from fitting the much more important 16pin motherboard connector as they both lie next to each other in my mobo. Again there are workarounds but expensive. My advice is to go for a case with have better provisions for airflow and to carefully consider the components that you require to be fitted inside before purchasing to avoid disappointment.

A nice compact, quiet case (not super silent). Very good value for money. Clever set up for 3.5 and 2.5 inch drives. agree the airflow isn't incredible but the front plate can be removed to add more fans. With 2 extra fans in the front it ends up a solid work horse pc.

Honestly it's very cheap but it met all my requirements. The sound proofing helps and the layout is in keeping with modern gaming systems. The PSU sits at the bottom and has the vent for the fan in the bottom of the case instead of blowing around the CPU area like other cheap cases. The drive bays are great, the front panel connectors are fine.My only issue is the front panel only has ONE usb3 and ONE usb2 port. That means the connectors take up the front USB motherboard sections which should support 4 ports, and you only get 2. If they had done 2 USB3 ports or even 2 USB2 ports it would have been better. As it is you only get one of each.Other than that, not a single complaint with the case.
