Core 1000 x (1)

This case is bigger than other micro ATX cases. It still feels smaller than an ATX case. 125mm cooler clearance means a cheap tower cooler, or any of the new top down media-PC type coolers.
You may be wondering about the on/off button? It's on the right side of the front bezel, low down.
This is a cheap case, and rattles like one. Together with the open front design, this case will not silence anything. It's intended for quiet components. The 12cm front fan is a mystery as, given the contents of this case may be few, the fan is over a foot away from anything that needs cooling. There's a 92cm exhaust hole in the back, and most build configurations will need a fan for that.
This is a builder's case; a weird and excellent plate in place of the hard drive cage, room for wiring and lots of screws and washers included. The coating inside is nice to work with. Between cheap industrial and premium gamer cases, this case has no competition. Eccentric, excellent. but not for everyone.
