FSP ATX Mid Tower PC Computer Gaming Case with Translucent Side Window Panel, Black(CMT230)

I like this case, there's quite the options for placements and cables. Its not too difficult to build in, just a little cramp with the power supply shroud. The included magnetic mesh panels are easy to remove and clean. The materials feel sturdy with a mostly metal skeleton, although I believe the front panel is plastic, also it pops off just be aware of front I/O cables. The side window is acrylic which can collect finger prints but it gets the job done. Unfortunately the expansion brackets are break away and there's no option for a vertical GPU mount. Cable management is a little cramped in the back in terms of the motherboard space but everything fits fine and you can easily hide excess cables under the shroud. 3.5in Hard Drives mount with rubber feet which are include with the case. The included blue case fans are a ok addition, they do use molex sadly, but their bright and very quiet otherwise. Front panel I/O includes 2 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, Headphone and Mic port, 2 5.25 bays, and the usual power, HDD LED, and reset. Front panel audio works without and any issues. Overall its a nice modern design, likely an older design but still has the necessities you need for a starter build.(Red fans are separate item)

The magnetic dust filters are a nice touch.Very nice blue LED fans- 3 of them, though they use the 4-pin molex connector that can be daisy chained to power supply.The window is indeed acrylic and not tempered glass. Didn't matter to me, still great for looking through.The cable management is a little tight when using an ATX motherboard but can be done decently.The SSD is mounted by screwing it to a side of the case, no bracket or tray.The HDD is mounted by placing these screws that allow you to slide it on a rack in the back/bottom of the case. Feels cheap, yet effective.Overall this case gets the job done and done well for your mid tier gaming PC needs.

This has been an interesting experience to say the least as far as cases go. It’s fantastic at what it does but definitely has it’s short comings.First off, there isn’t much in the ways of cable management here and if you’re using cable extensions, you’ll find yourself a bit more cramped behind the motherboard. That being said, there is a psu shroud so the bulk of the excess cable can be stored there and remain unseen.Second, the rear covers for the GPU are punch-out, not unscrewed. Once it’s out, it’s out. The case did come with one replacement that can be screwed on if you align things incorrectly but keep that in mind.Third, and the most important for those building on a budget, the case does come with three fans but they only have Molex plugs. So, if you intend to save money by not buying separate fans, this may not be for you. In my situation, I was able to plug the fans into the periferal plug on my power supply with the adapter that my PSU included but again, keep this in mind.And finally, the most detrimental thing to this case is the HDD and SSD mounting options. They suck. Flat out awful. Your stuck putting hardrives in the base so make sure there in before the power supply and ssd’s are just screwed I’m at the front of the case with no real “rack” to speak of.Now, with all that said, I still enjoy this case very much. It’s sleek, short, stout and has very good airflow for a budget case. The front fans aren’t obnoxious and the arcrylic is conservative; large enough to see all the fun bits but nothing too gotti. The case is wide enough to fit most coolers (I used a 212 evo) and there’s space for 2 more fans up top.Overall, I’d recommend this to anyone. Especially first time builders. Though again, do your homework and make sure that you can get by with some of the drawbacks.

A good case for its price, but the GPU rear covers are not removable and have to be pushed out and once it is out you cannot reattach it.

The glass side panel lights up beautifully with the stock led fans.Cable management is great but you should probably plug-in the cable to the EATX12V before you install the CPU fan as it was very difficult with my rather large CPU fan.A great case, just keep in mind that it lacks good HDD storage.I placed my HDD on the bottom with the PSU inside the little area next to the bottom front fan.The case fans are super quiet and keep everything cool for my non-OC'd CPU and integrated graphics. (I plan on updating this review when I get a GPU.)One drawback is that the fans use molex instead of the standard 4-pin connectors. So I had to use a molex adapter to plug all three fans into my PSU which means my Motherboard cannot monitor or control the case fans speed.Like I said before, the fans are still super quiet and will not bother you at all unless you hate even a low whisper from your case.NOTE: Please be aware that the fans will always light up blue. You cannot change the color or shut the LEDs of the case fans off.

Very nice case. Perfect size for where I needed to fit it. Came with 3 fans with blue lights. Space to add fans on top. Filters on all air vents and intakes. Well laid out switches and front USB ports. Would recommend to anyone looking for a not so fancy but a good functional case.

This case was a good buy for the money. It was super easy to install all of my components into. The metal is a little thin, but all the company's that make cases are about the same. Cable management is not to bad. The only thing I can think of is the fact you cannot mount the PSU with the fan facing up. The mounting screws will not line up. I would have preferred to mount mine fan up but could not. I will have to watch the filter on the bottom of the case from getting dirty. It would also had been nice to check filter without having to tip the tower over to do so. All in all I still like the case as it looks nice and seems to let everything inside run cool.

Very cheap case. But works
