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.

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.

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.

Refreshed an old computer setup for a modern, simple, clean, non LED look within a small budget.Included 1 x 120mm fan, not pwm.Front panel connections1 x usb 3.01 x usb 2.0Audio mic and headphoneReset and power buttons.Wouldn't recommend for high end power PC due to air flow restrictions. But simple desktop use is more than satisfactory.Suitable for mATX motherboards only.No provision/space for dvd drive, but who uses those now.Enough space to include wiring for.2x 2.5 SSD2x 3.5 HDD

Now, I have had some time with this case and am a bit more knowledgeable in the world of RGB i have a few things to say about this case, hopefully it will help you decide whether this is for you.PROSThe case:The case, for its price, is really well designed, visually looks nice, and could easily take pride of place in a prominent spot so you can show off your RGB skills to friends and family. The fact that its actually tempered glass, and not cheap plastic is a welcome addition, giving extra value and quality to the caseThe inside (front):The inside of the case is laid out very well, with space for 2 desktop sized hard drives and extra spaces for smaller laptop (2.5) drives, the front of the case is very clean, meaning you can create beautiful and wonderful displays to give your PC some personalityCONSRGB:This is where I think its a bit of a let down, while the case has RGB, which can be controlled by a button on the top of the case, most people will want the RGB at the front of the case to be synchronised with the motherboard. This requires a special RGB connector cable from the case to the motherboard, while this case has a connector, its the older style 3 pin connector, from what I have experienced, newer motherboards use the 4 PIN RGB connector meaning you cant connect them together. Check very carefully that your motherboard uses 3 pin RGB before purchasing this case.The inside (rear)The space at the rear of the case is very tight to say the least, with very little ventilation for your desktop style mechanical hard drives, i found that the SATA cables made closing the side case panel very difficult, with me exerting a lot of effort to get it closed. The metal of the case is also very thin so putting too much pressure could leave dents and ruin the perfect look of the case. I also found the lack of space an issue if you are interested in cable management, bundling cables together also created so much bulk that the side panel again would struggle to close.ADVICE:Do your homework before purchasing this case, you need to:Ensure you have a 3 PIN RGB header on your motherboardHave some spare fans - this case doesn't come with any, and will get VERY warm if you don't buy additional fans to vent out that heatStay away if you are one of the few who need to install DVD drivesSummary:Overall a nice case, one that can make your PC look great on a budget, however, because of its size, it can be a tight squeeze if you have numerous peripherals and wires at the back.I could only really recommend this to those who have, few peripherals, a modular PSU (less wires) and a compatible 3 PIN RGB motherboard.
