Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The only real negative is you'd better have canned air handy. The front has nice mesh filtering for keeping out dust. The included 120mm fan isn't phenomenal but it gets the job done.

Cooling is a dream and the removable sides mean you can easily tweak the build without disassembles everything. This drive is roomy and comes with onboard usb 3. The led's are of the blindingly bright variety.

This is a decent case with a few good qualities, and a couple that are less than awesome. Great case, looks fantastic, feels way more expensive than it is. I quite like the minimal approach to this case.

The fractal design core 1000 case is a very good case for the money. It's not an r4, or an arc midi, but it's still distinctly a fractal design product.

This case is simply perfect for a build budget of $500-$600. It's cheap but it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. In the end i am still super happy with the money spent.

Cons

This will by my 10th pc build, first amd build and this is the first time i ever had a problem with a case. It is beyond me as to why they would make this with these tolerances. This wasn't sold as open box, but lacked documentation, etc.

Quality

I used all ssd drives and they mounted just fine the overall build went great with no issues for room in my basic builds

Ive been building my own pcs for over 20 years and without fail would cut my hand on the case during the build this one spared ... Read More

The whole front allows air in and keeps dust out

If you did your job right all of the screws will come out and not holding a standoff with the board

Price

This case is simply perfect for a build budget of 500600

Its a great case for the value good amount of options and vents

Look these days for the price paid you arent gonna get a case with 1 mil metal

Very cheap for a case of this quality

Shipping

Word of caution when having them shipped and if you are in the dallas area do not use ups to ship

Ups has destroyed 10 of these cases in shipment

Packaging/appearance

Only complaint is that the power button was missing found it in box so i jus put it back on other than that

They arrived looking like someone had lined a dancefloor at a bunny hop with the boxes and groups of wild people jumped up and down on them

Competitiveness

Fd has since come out with the core 1100 case at the same price point and it is beautiful

In fact the core 1000 is the only option

There are other cases available for matx at very close to this price that are much more modern and are more solidly built

I spent several hours researching budget cases flipping back and forth between different manufacturers and reading reviews befo... Read More
