MSI MAG FORGE 112R Mid-Tower PC Case - Tempered Glass, ATX, Micro-ATX & Mini-ITX Capacity, Front Mesh Panel, 4 x 120mm ARGB fans with Hub Controller, Magnetic Dust Filter, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A Ports

I bought the MSI MAG FORGE 112R Mid Tower PC Case back in October last year and it has been amazing ever since. It still looks and performs like new even after months of use. The design is really stylish and the tempered glass panel shows off the build perfectly. One of my favourite features is the LED switch function which makes it super easy to control the lighting without needing to go into any software. It adds a really nice touch to the overall look of the setup. The airflow is great and the case feels very well built. Cable management was easy thanks to the smart layout and there is plenty of room for upgrades if needed. Overall I am extremely happy with this case and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a reliable and good looking PC case that is also very functional.

A very nice sturdy case, well built and to a good specification. I have bought a 'budget' case in the past at around this price but that got damaged so quickly it was no longer safe to use, hence this purchase. I wasn't expecting much at this price but have to say I am very pleasantly surprised at how good this is. Puts a lot of more expensive cases to shame.

My first build for quite a few years meant embracing the more up to date case design with a PSU at the bottom rather than at the top and no 51/4in drive bays etc which given everything is now solid state is absolutely fine. So I chose this case it it seemed pretty spacious, I liked the feature list and the brand attached - MSI - is usually pretty reasonable. When it turned up the case was well packed and protected and entirely what I expected a well built quality item with suitable instructions and included fixings secured within one of the removable drive caddies at the bottom of the case. Building the case up ready for the prebuilt motherboard by removing the tempered glass panel and inserting the jack posts into which the motherboard screws would be inserted was easy. I did have to slacken off the fan above the rear connector hole to actually get the motherboard rear connector tucked under it correctly but as its only scrwed in that was easy. motherboard was easy to site and secure and then I began connecting the various headers from within the case built in wiring onto the motherboard. They all fitted fairly well though aligning the LED header was a bit of a fuff but pateince was exercised and it all wetn together neatly in the end. The front panel - well top panel on this case - individual connections like power switch, reset switch and the power and storage activity LEDs were the usual faff to get in but they always are - no idea why the industry can't do better like every other connector. Id id find a sounder in my PC bits box and added that as well to the same header and it works just as it should do. I then popped of the back panel and spent a bit of time inserting and securing the PSU and getting the PSU cables threaded through the various holes so I could connect to the motherboard, everything went together well and nothing was stretched or stressed as a result. The edges are nicley rounded and finsihed on the holes and so I didn't need to fret about any cable damage as a result of rubbing etc. The graphics card sent in next and seated nicely, and the case has a neat clamping mechanism that sists over all of the rear expansion card slots that is easy to use to help hold PCI type cards in place, as well as the usual screw holes for securingt the bracket fitted to such cards. I have to record a minor issue with some of the assembly but its mainly a problem of my own making working as I was in a black case, with a black motherboard, black cables, black connectors and black tie wraps was at times hard on my older eyes even in full daylight on the kitchen table and I did resort to a lantern style torch a couple of time to make sure I was getting everything correctly aligned - especially when plugging into small headers on the motherboard. Once aseembled and cable managed - and there are some useful low profile 'hoops' on the underside of the metal plate that supports the motherboard to which tie wraps can be attached - the whole thing looked quite tidy and presentable and I was quietly pleased with the whole thing. Time for first power up and this is where things didn't work as planned - the whole new PC was stone dead. I then spent quite some time testing with a different known working PSU, disconnecting things, removing the SSD and the RAM etc to try and figure out what was wrong. Finally I gave up and slept on it. Next morning I tried a continuity text on the power header with a simple volt meter I have and I saw the the power switch was extremely intermittent, only actually connecting about one time in 20 to 30 pushes although it always made the audible click sound when pressed. At least I had found the probem but it had costs me a fair bit of time as I had assumed that something as simple as single pole switch wouldn't be defective and would have been texted at time of manufacture. So what to do? I couldn't really face pulling the whole thing apart and returning the case which is really what the situation demanded so I took a good look at the power switch and demounted it from its home in the top panel and though about popping it apart to see if there was something I could fix inside. I also wondered if I could substitute it with another switch and inparticualr the other switch on the case at the top front panel which connects to the LED board that drives the various LEDs in the four case fans. Having demounted that switch I noticed it was the same as the power one and thus I was able to - with a small amount of fiddling - strip the defective power switch out including the cable and header that connects to the motherboard and then replace it with the LED switch and associated cable and connector. That worked immediately and the PC sprung to life and the LED fans all span up as did the CPU fan etc. So i then proceeded to get on with installing the OS and doing the rest of the build. A week on its been as good as gold and works very well. I did take the switch apart and its design is adequate but not great and I couldn't fix it, but I did find a pack of 5 on E-bay (not available via Amazon) and ordered them so as to be able to replace the defective switch and reinstate the LED switch on the case in due course. So four stars at this stage - lovely case marred by a crap power switch which is probably just the luck of the draw and I ended up with the one in n thousand that was defective. However it caused a lot of wasted time and unecessary work and to be honest I expect better from MSI and have always had better from them in the past. ****Update***** Just an quick update to say that the new switch has arrived from China and I have now been able to reinstate the LED switch functionality, so I can now enjoy the multi colour solid and fading LED fan effects which are great fun and another great aspect of the case and its capabilities.

A nice sized case with 4 good fans and room for more. Only missing a USB-C and spare screws for the glass side panel as I lost one when building it.

Absolutly love this case, i have a 3 fan GPU, this fits perfect with plenty of room spare, a 240mm AIO fits on the top it would even fot a 280 if needed. the RGB is fantastic and plenty of different cycles

Needed a cheap case that came with pre installed fans as I was trying to stick to a certain budget for a new pc build. This case was very good, plenty of space for my need and looks good with a glass side panel.

This is a great case, ideal for mid-range gaming rigs :) The LED lights work as expected, and you can link them to your motherboard for better control. No sharp edges. I'm ordering another for another customer, I think this will be my go-to case for the budget systems :)

It’s a bold, functional chassis that makes building fun and showing off your rig even better.

Çok Başarılı bir kasa, soğutması hızlı ve çok sessiz, RGB aydınlatma ise birçok renk şemasına sahip ve dilerseniz kapatabiliyorsunuz, kasa içerisinden herhangi güç kaynağı çıkmıyor, tüm alanlar yani ön, arka, sağ, sol rahatça açılabiliyor, msi ventus 3x 3060 ti (33cm) ekran kartım rahatça sığdı ama dikkat 35cm'den büyük ekran kartı tehlikeli olabilir, teşekkürler msi ve amazon!

Good

Siento que podría tener una mejor gestión de cables pero pues si sabes acomodar todo si la haces, no viene con manual, pero pues en YouTube te encuentras todo, el hub de los ventiladores para el rgb funciona muy bien, pero no cometas el error de conectar también al hub, el ventilador del disipador, porque ahí ya no te funciona el rgb, si tienes disipador con rgb conectado aparte a un molex u otra cosa, talvez es muy obvio pero pues nunca lo había escuchado.

حجم ممتاز، وصناعته جيدة، مع منظم لل RGB

Buena caja calidad-precio, con 4 ventiladores y bastante espaciosa para organizar bien los cables
