Overview
Not a plain steel box, this mid tower dresses a metal frame with a genuine walnut wood front and a tinted tempered glass side panel. Two PWM fans ship installed, and a dust filter covers the intake.
The case suits a PC that stays on a desk in plain view, with ATX, mATX and ITX board support and clear limits on graphics card length. Storage space is modest, so builders planning many drives will run out of bays quickly.
Who it's for
A PC builder who wants a wood front and a glass window without a gamer look, and who plans one or two storage drives. Large graphics cards are covered up to the stated length. Anyone adding long radiators or many hard drives should check the limits first.
Pros and cons
- Real walnut front with glass side
- Two PWM fans in the box
- Dust filter on the intake
- Front Type-C port
- Only two internal bays for hard drives
- Power supply length limit not listed
- Weight makes it awkward to move
- Side radiator support not listed
Performance notes
Airflow depends on the two included PWM fans and the dust filter, which trade some airflow for cleaner internals. A front radiator reduces the graphics card length allowance, as the compatibility note spells out. Fan speed follows motherboard PWM control rather than a built-in hub, according to the listing's PWM wording.
