DARKROCK EC2 Black ATX Mid Tower PC Case, Type-C Ready, Supports 50 Series Graphics Cards, Tempered Glass Side Panel, up to 8 x 120mm Cooling Fans & 1 x 360mm Radiator, 1 x Pre-Installed Fan

Great value for the money! Perfect size for an MSI MPG B550 gaming board.This case comes with one fan but you can buy a set of 3 (same brand) if you check below in the recommendations section. I went ahead and bought two sets of fans and installed 3 in the front and two on the ceiling. The side glass is magnetic and very sturdy, doesn't feel cheap at all! The cable management is a breeze to work on!Also, I did not buy any RGB stuff because I'm tired of that. Now the case looks neat and more "professional".

love the form factor, size, and ability to pop on standard size fans. the type C port is a cherry on top (for motherboards that support it!). I thought at first the glass being able to slip off by pulling up seemed a bit cheap but it honestly does the job fine, it's designed to be secure but easy to remove. weight is light on its own, better than several ATX cases i've had in the past. some decent opportunities for cable management with the through holes and such. LOVE the way it looks with RGB fans installed.

I haven't done a build in a while and was looking for an inexpensive case to build in. Primary considerations were a small case, good air flow, flexible air/water cooler options and one with multiple USB 3.0s on the front including a USB-C connector. I also needed 160mm of cpu cooler height. MB = MSI Z790 MAG Tomahawk Wifi.Nice to have: Screwed in slot covers! Seems like many inexpensive cases have the stamped in covers that once you twist them off you can't put them back and worse yet, leave a nice sharp edge. Air filters, top and bottom. Not a single sharp edge to be found. Easy remove front panel.Wish it had: a nice removable magnetic filter for the front fans. A removable top so I could have more easily got to the CPU power connectors and top mounting screws for the motherboard. Taller feet. With this case sitting on carpet the bottom air intake for the power supply is almost totally blocked.My case arrived in perfect condition. No dents, dings, cracks and no scratches. 6 mb standoffs were mounted, 3 in the parts bag needed for the full ATX MSI mb I used. The holes all lined up. I ended up with lots of extra screws presumably for drive mounting and fan mounting. The build was a very easy. I removed the HDD mount box (easy to do) to plug in the Modular power cables and used that area to stuff all the excess cables. Keeping the flat cables flat as they travel across under the mb gave them plenty of room. The front mount cables all easily reached their destinations on the mb. Added 3 older 120mm Scythe fans to the front, plugged in the video card and I was done. My storage is all nvme SSD mounted on the mb so I didn't have to mess with mounting SATA or HDD devices.Final testing, all of the front panel (top) connectors work, USB and audio. Switches work (PWR & Reset). I'm happy to recommend this box if it meets your criteria.

This case is astoundingly good for its price. They cut back in all the areas that don't matter in order to make this case as affordable and high quality as it is. You can fit ten fans x8 120mm and x2 140mm all together with a 240mm AIO. The size is perfect, the weight is perfect, the hinged REAL tempered glass door is held shut using magnets that have just the right amount of hold. If you are questioning buying this case because you are worried about poor quality then stop worrying and press the check out button. One of the best cases I have ever used for the price and is even better than some cases that cost considerably more. Only reason I give 4/5 stars is because the rear PCIe bracket shield guard that holds the PCIe slot guards down is only held in by a single screw in the center making it sit slightly unflush at times this could be fixed if two screws, one at the top and bottom of the shield were added in place of the single center screw. It honestly doesn't effect anything and you can fix it by recentering it and not torquing the screw down so tight but I would be interested in a upgraded version of this same design.

love simple look to it, and great airflow for the pc. the glass panel on a hinge is nice making it easy to open up without having to unscrew and remove it fearing the accidental dropping of the glass panel. although small it did fit my amd 7700xt without a front radiator just air cooling. it has a good set of plugins on the top for different usb types and the audio jack. but if you have cats, beware the power button is on top and one of the first times i was setting up my new build, my cat decided to jump on top of it and powered it off on me. but this was before i had placed the pc in my desk where he cant get to it.

For the money, I don't think you can do any better... I bought this to put my build into a smaller case. And like anything else, there are good and bad.THE GOOD: The price. You really can't go wrong with it if you are looking for an inexpensive case. It has pretty good cable management as there are many places to "make things organized". The build quality isn't bad considering what you pay for it. The side panel has a bit of a flex to it.THE NOT SO GOOD: The hard drive cage on the bottom of the case makes it a bit tricky to attach your various cables to a modular power supply. It can take a bit of playing around to get all your cables, etc., situated as you like. Not a deal breaker by any means, though. And being as it's meant for a smaller footprint, it can be a bit tight depending on what size motherboard and components you want to use.My old case is a larger Antec 900 which will now become my NAS server.Overall, it's a good deal for the money. And for me, that's what I wanted.

Overall a good design. The included system fan is of poor quality. It stopped working after like ten minutes. I had to remove it from my mobo multiple times and push in the cable connections for it to work again. The images of the mobo are a little misleading as well. It comes with a single fan. Again, the included fan appears to be poorly made.
