AVP Storm P27 Midi Mesh Gaming Case for Cooling Fan with Window Side Panel - Black

Very good case for the money. Everything fitted well with no problems experienced. Extra fan installed at the front for additional cooling and no problems fitting, although you do have to scratch your head a bit to see how to gain access. One word of caution, if you fit a full sized ATX Motherboard you will only be able to fit a DVD Drive in the 5.25" top bay as the motherboard is too large to allow you to fit one in the second bay down, although a card reader might fit. All in all, yes it's cheap, yes the metal is very thin, but it worked for me!

For the money its brilliant. and for people who say there's no cable management I have the inside of my case lit up with hardly a cable in sight. You can fit quite a bit round the back due to the side panel having a recess. plenty of ventilation my pc runs around 34 oc 41 oc when pushed in games so still cool. and yes some of the metal inside is a bit thin but don't go at it like a bull in a china shop and you'll be fine. See loads of people complaining about this case what do you expect for £14! if you want premium then expect to pay more simple. Overall an excellent case for the money very pleased with mine and saved a packet too buying something way more expensive but not that much different overall. Also even fits a corsair H55 water cooler as I have in mine.

If you are looking at the reviews of this case you were likely interested initially by the low price and the pictures which do show a nice looking case for only a little more than the cost of the very cheapest cases, the side window is also a rarity at this price. I paid £17.49 with free delivery for mine.The case is very light and the 0.4 mm steel will easily be dented so take care, everything seemed nicely fitted together apart from the side window which was askew with a big gap on one side and it required a few minutes work with pliers to reshape the crushed tabs and refit the window properly, not an ideal start but not a big deal to fix. Note that the window itself is grey tinted rather than fully transparent which may not be ideal for carefully chosen colour matched parts but when used with sympathetic light is more flattering for one built from rather more mismatched parts.Inside are screws, standoffs, a motherboard speaker and a small thin black bracket to offer some support for the psu, this is a welcome addition since there is no other support for the power supply apart from a few mm from an small indentation in the back panel, check carefully for the bracket which due to it's size and colour is easily missed.Inside you get a 120mm black fan which shifts plenty of air and is quiet in operation and if you look to the front you can see that the front grill has a thin foam layer for dust filtration and appears to be fixed with the same tab and slot system as the window so should be removable if care is taken.There is a rack for two 3.5" HDD at the bottom and above you can side mount another or an SSD, above this are two 5.25" slots one i filled with a DVD drive and the other with an extra HDD with an adapter, by this time however the lack of space and cable management leaves things getting a little tight with only limited opportunity to feed cables behind the back panel, the front panel wiring for audio and usb 2/3 was too short for this.If your case won't have much in it thats not likely to be a big issue but otherwise chose the order of component insertion and wiring carefully.I must mention that the graphics card when mounted on the matx mainboard was misaligned with the slot at the back and it was only barely possible to plug the cable in, you may require a slight tweak to the case to connect yours.When the build was complete it all felt suprisingly solid and it does look nice as the pictures suggest, if you were spending a lot on your pc there are nicer cases but despite some reservations about construction quality this is a good case for the price.

This case was at a low price when I brought it and I'm quite pleased with it the fan that comes with the case is a molex connection which is no deal as I only have one system fan header on the mother board I've got. One issue I had was that there should have been some labling for the screws as this was my first time building a pc and of course used the wrong screws for the motherboard. All cables inside for the front panel are nicely labelled so you know where to install them.

This case looks really nice, at least in my opinion and you can pretty easily fit everything inside. It has two slots for 12CM fans, one in the front of the case behind the mesh where it even has a dust catcher behind the mesh and one just below the PSU. There are some problem with the case however, so if you don't own an electric screwdriver with some drill heads, you're in trouble. The "Supports Graphics cards up to 370mm" is pretty much a lie. Because it can't, because there's a piece of metal in the way where the 3.5" HDDs are supposed to go into. You can drill away the small rivets that hold it in place and throw that piece of metal in the bin, THEN you can fit your beast of a GPU in the case. Eg. a Radeon R9 280X (275mm) doesn't fit in the case unless you remove that metal piece from the case.After removing the hdd case/metal that was in the way, you have an issue with your 3.5" HDDs, because there's really no way to attach them to the case. This case is designed for 1x3.5"/2.5" drive mounted sideways, 2x5.25" drives and 1xfloppy drive/card reader. The 120mm fan that comes with the case is attached directly to the IDE/PATA power molex of your PSU and has no speed control. So it's always at 100%. There are also some issues with the motherboard screw holes and the PSU screw holes. The motherboard screws that are farthest away are too far for some motherboards and you'll need to make your own holes to the case to have some support on your motherboard when inserting/removing RAM or the ATX power connector. The PSU holes aren't according to specs either and you'll probably need to make the holes bigger. I can't really say that you get what you pay for when there are some cases that look almost identical and don't have these issues... but at least the case looks nice and has a USB3.0 connector on the front which those other cases don't have... oh, and my power-on led isn't working, probably a loose solder point on the led or there's no led that the wires go to in the first place.Pros:+ Looks nice+ USB3.0 and USB2.0 connectors on the faceplate+ Kinda supports big graphics cardsCons:- Screw holes aren't aligned properly for normal PSUs or motherboards- Case fan that comes with the case doesn't have a 3-pin fan connector (no speed control)- A piece of metal is in the way of the graphics card (if you don't remove it, you're stuck with ~250-260mm cards)- Some front panel wires are too short (HD Audio connector barely reaches the connector on the motherboard)
