C1 MATX Computer Case

This one pretty much checked all the boxes for me. I really wanted a clean looking case slightly bigger than typical SFF cases that also had glass side and good airflow without mesh (or optional mesh). This is the redone model that really deserves better reviews. You can pretty much ignore a lot of the problems mentioned in old reviews. Has USB-C, there's plenty of AIO space (mine is mounted with tubes down and will only match 2 thread holes..otherwise tubes up is the normal mount position), will fit a sapphire 7900xtx without an issue without the need of a sag bracket, easily fit 2 SSD's, and a 140mm PSU. I opted to run corsair PSU with their SFF cable kit. Makes the cable runs really short. Temps during gaming with a 5600x/7900xtx are 59-62CPU/60-65GPU. These are on 1800rpm fans as well including the AIO, so the system runs very quiet. Overall I love this case, and would highly recommend to anyone going for something different. Side note: It was a huge pain finding the dimension chart, but I've attached one that should really help with the overall layout. Someone had posted it on another site where they sell, but I could not find this info from the manufacturer direct.

Zero cable management. None, absolutely no cable management. I had to run cables under the mobo. This case is not for every one. If you're new to PC building, don't buy this case unless you're ready to challenge yourself. I was able to squeeze in an MSI 4080S Suprim X. A 336mm card at 4 full slot thickness. If you don't figure out a decent way to get your large card in, you won't be able to complete the build. I ended up scratching my card trying to force it in. But it 100% fits with about 5-7mm of room left. Get a 130mm PSU. I have a 140mm psu and I feel like it's too close to my card. You will have to get rid of the ssd mount for more room in the case. Unless you wanna use a 2.5" drive. You will need an l or u shaped pcie adapter. The side panel has very limited room. I'm currently using a U shaped adapter and the cover is still too big that I can't place the panel on. But I was able to add mobo standoff screws and use that to give me space. So if you don't wanna go through bending your power cables, get a flat/flushed pcie adapter. The company this case came from, I had a pleasant experience with. The side panel came broken. I picked up the box and I could hear the glass trickling off the case as I turned it. I went through Amazon to send them a message about the panel. They sent a replacement within about a week or so. Pretty quick for being over seas. While my experience with them was brief it was good, so I would say their customer service is good. Specially since they sent me a new panel by simply saying it's broken. All in all, it's a great super solid case with no cable management (good thing if you like a challenge like me) air flow is good too. You will just need a strong fan, i have a 127cfm fan I use as an exhaust and passive intake.

This thing is actually a cheat code for those looking to downsize their PC without taking up space or too much money. Usually, for a build this size, you'd expect to have to use an ITX motherboard, but this just takes an MATX board and flips it around. Genius design! Saves space, good temps, and amazingly doesn't require a lot of complicated installation. It's just like any normal case, just without the back panel for cable management. I just wish there were a bit more space for cable management, but given the size, I won't complain too much.

Pros: - This case is made out of mostly aluminum or something near its feel and look. - Looks great of a desk - All your cables are hidden below and make it easier and nicer to look at when routing cables. - Can fit a good amount of stuff considering the form factor. - Good Airflow Cons: - Aluminum case is sharp AF - The left side of the case where you can put a radiator in is a bit of a tight fit. My mobo power cable might be damaged in the long run because of the pinch. - NO DAMN MANUAL OR INSTRUCTIONS - The right rise where the fans get mounted feel so trashy. You are depending on two screws for both fans or HDD. Just a very unorthodox way to mount fans, in general, all over this case - Say goodbye to cable manage if you use RGB - The Side panel is held down by four cheap screws (on my model, one of the screws was missing the rubber protection to not scratch or future the window....) - This B is loud, consider getting silent fans asap Overall thoughts: I wouldn't consider buying this case. At most I would pay 80 bucks for it. There are many other competitors with better ergonomics and prices. Not super happy with it but I switch cases often so whatever (just gonna be a weird season for me)

Good airflow and plenty of room for 3090 founders edition. Cable management is a bit tricky as there is no internal structure to hide cables behind.

the size is probably as small as micro atx cases could get. very tight, somewhat hard for cable managment. also make sure everything works before putting in the case because you will dread taking anything out. overall tho i am satisfied, it's the case i've always dreamed of. make sure you get good fans or water cool cpu, cause it can be a toaster. but when you're done with it all, you will be highly satisfied.

Not a bad case really, but over priced for what you get. Update: Really it is just a pain to deal with. I have cut myself more on this case than any other. The "grills" for the fans are junk. For the price I would expect magnetic dust covers, not this cheap mesh with tape.

Great little case. Love the unique look and how the i/o is on the bottom of the case. Had some radiator sizing issues w/ the build but that's to be expected on a small form factor case.
