About this deal

Big airflow, large ARGB fans, impressive hardware support, a PSU shroud, modular storage options, tempered glass. Really nice budget case Fits a 280mm radiator at the top perfectly, the cable management is unbelievably well thought out. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable).

As we’ve already mentioned, it’s impossible to rearrange the 200mm fans within the case, and it’s hard to imagine a scenario where replacing them makes sense. At the top of the case you can mount up to a 280 mm radiator, though you’ll have to be very careful with your motherboard and memory choice to ensure clearance. Two 200 millimeter fans with digitally addressable RGB lighting are already installed on the front and a black 120 fan on the rear wall.The two biggest problems are the fact that the cables come from several locations along the front and top edges of the chassis, and the location of the fan/rgb controller that is included (more on that later). The tempered glass side panel provides a clear view into the case, so that the installed hardware can be displayed. I really appreciate the extra height above the motherboard, so if you are installing any radiators there you have plenty of room. It’s not nearly as dark as that on the Corsair 4000-series cases – that tint requires RGB to see anything, and even then, you’ll only see the RGB.

There is certainly room in the top for a 280mm AIO, and a 360mm AIO could fit in the front provided the tubing were long enough. Great case with good features, my only gripe is that the included fan hub max's out the fan speed with no option to control it from motherboard, just plugged the fans into the motherboard to solve the issue. There is a single hard drive cage in the bottom chamber, but without a drive caddy, so if you do insert a 3.I want to focus the rest of this review on talking about what is not so perfect about the 215, and perhaps maybe you why should look elsewhere if you are in the market for a budget-friendly mid-tower case. The intent here was clearly to allow bottom intake, but the execution leaves something to be desired. Also included are a top magnetic dust filter and a pull-out full-length bottom dust filter tray, and the back is equipped with a 120mm PWM fan. Beyond the oh-so-shiny tempered glass, it’s clear that this case is built to a budget from a materials standpoint, but who cares? They work well for their intended purpose, but they also form a skirt around the edges of the case that restricts airflow.
