Mars Gaming MCB Black, PC Gaming ATX XL Case, Custom Premium Edition, Modular Dual Chamber Structure

Look I am not saying this case is the best case out there. I'm not even saying it is particularly good to look at but at the time I bought it, it was the cheapest case I could find on Amazon.However don't let that put you off.I was after a budget build so this fitted the bill perfectly. It came with all you would expect in the way of screws and cables to connect to an ATX motherboard which is precisely what I did. I also added a small 80mm fan on the rear to plug into the chassis fan on the motherboard. The two LED fans on the front are decent and give good airflow.I had no issues with installation as everything fitted well. Only odd part was mounting the SSD's to the base of the case but not a real issue.also with a decent Perspex side you have to get your cabling tidy (which you can see I failed). I was using a 5600G processor with onboard graphics so didn't install a dedicated GPU. If I do it would have limitations to length as the case is small - there are some that would fit but I may have to change the case at that point. Also the tall cooler I chose didn't fit so a lower profile one will be needed - I went with the stock cooler in the end as I am not over clocking at this stage.overall a good starter case for the budget builder.

This case was much, much smaller than I was expecting.I intended to mount the Hard drive & ssd at the bottom of case but simply there wasn't enough room to mount a graphics card, talking of which I was planning to use an rx580 but it was too long so I've had to a zotac 1660 super mini.I was planning to have two fans installed I have removed the top one to make room for the hard drive & Ssd.The air flow is terrible, currently having to run it on its side as the non existent feet mean no air can entry from the bottom.The case looks nice but it made from the finest Chinese pressed tin, no cable management room in the side panel.Please buy something else.

Great looking case, quality of the case was above expected as for this price range I thought a few sharp edges or small defects, but nothing was very surprised with the overall look a feel.Plenty of room for cables to hide so clean build, you only get one bay for a drive hidden away at the bottom of the case, but as I was fitting a M.2 SSD to the morherboard made no difference. If your looking to fit multiple hard drives beyond. M.2 SSD and then one SSD drive in the bay then this could be an issue.The Glass panel has two protective layers that can peel off so is crystal clear when fitting.The lighting was front panels and fan, and where clear/bright, with the infinity panel on the front setting it all off.This was a build for my daughter so she’s delighted and I’m impressed with this case, and also considering another build with this in mind.If your after a decent case for a clean build that does not break the bank you’ll not go wrong with this.

Summary: Good value and very compact, beware of GPU size and be prepared to properly cable manage, not recommended for first time/new builders.The case is small, but that is a benefit for some and why I brought it. Obviously cheap materials but it is also cheap so you can't really moan.Cable management is challenging on a non-modular PSU but with some zip-ties and patience perfectly doable. On that note I wouldn't recommend this case if you have never built a PC before because of the internal space limitations, double and triple check your GPU dimensions to ensure it will actually fit... Or just get a bigger case.I replaced the stock case fans with some better ones with a simple control hub with remote control, for that extra 10-15% RGB performance bonus after downloading more ram.All in all can not fault it for the money, some non molex fans would be a welcome upgrade and is realistically expected in 2024.4/5

This is a very compact case, I’ve worked on bigger ITX cases than this! Photo shows it compared to an old Antec case as an example.You can use mATX boards but there’s very little room.Your graphics card choice though, that you need to be careful with. I went with a Costco 1660s that’s pretty small and low powered. Fits fine. But a 2070 I tried? No chance.The case itself is made of very thin metal, it’s super light and flexible. You push too hard it’s gonna bend. And these panel? It’s thin Perspex that will deform and crack easily if you are not careful.The front light bar looks quite nice and a button on the front gives a good selection of colour schemes. The 8cm fan is fixed rpm and fixed colour.Cable management is…. Not the best. There’s some space behind the board for flat cables but it’s limited.Bottom line is it’s a cheap case, really cheap. It looks ok but when you work on the case you know you are working on a cheap case. The finished product looks ok though. Three stars from me.
