V500 Mini Portable M-ATX/ITX Computer Case, MINI-Tower CASE, Full Side Transparent Acrylic DIY Desktop Case with Handle, Support 320MM GPU Size (Black-2.0)

This is my second time buying the V500 and it has definitely improved since the previous revision. The metal feels thicker, the handle mount is stronger, and the mesh is a lot less restrictive which noticeably helps airflow. That was the main reason I chose it for my newest ITX build. The case can be tricky to work in, especially if you are using a non modular PSU and cable extensions like I did. My configuration was not what this case was originally designed around and the Thermalright SL 100 top down cooler ended up conflicting with the PSU power cable extension at the top left. I had to route and zip tie the cable outside the case to make it work. It still looks clean in the final build, just be ready to use creative cable management. My unit had shipping and quality issues. The acrylic side panel was scratched underneath the protective film and the paint on the front of the case had bubbling from poor adhesion. I did not have time to wait for a replacement, but customer support came through and offered a 50 percent refund which is the only reason this review is 5 stars instead of 4. What could be improved: • Better shipping control for the acrylic panel, and overall quality control for the case's paint • Glass side panel felt more premium than acrylic • A PSU cover that hides the label and the empty gap under the PSU would make the build look much cleaner without vinyl wrapping What I liked: • Thicker metal compared to Rev 1 • Stronger handle mount • Better mesh filter and airflow Relevant specs: RTX 3060 12 GB Ryzen 5 3600 Thermalright SL 100 Thermaltake 600 watt ATX 3.1 PSU This will be my go to case for future ITX builds around similar specs because the price makes it a very attractive option once you know its quirks.

Long term review. Cheapest and most compact M-ATX PC case with tempered glass. (It appears this case now comes with an acrylic side panel) Those features are it's strongest characteristics. It's a perfect case to serve as a portable secondary system and basic builds. Airflow as others have already stated is indeed restricted with its solid front and side panel. I recommend for lower powered builds as is with out case fans. I've personally run a Ryzen 7 3800X and a GTX 1660 Super without an issue without any case fans. Cable management isn't bad if you use a modular PSU, otherwise cables will look a little unsightly and that would eat up potentially room for Sata drives. Depending on your motherboard width I recommend installing the PSU first and as the included cage that screws it to the case can be a little finicky. Hopefully that tip will help beginner builders. Basic but looks good too if you go with matching colored components 👍

This should not be a case for your main computer. I got this for $30 and for that price I think it’s fine, but at $45 no. The glass came shattered and honestly at this price I just couldn’t be bothered to return it especially for my use case. It’s a serviceable cheap case, but I wouldn’t put my main computer in it.

For the money, it's not bad at all. It is really made for modern systems and I was planning on using it for a retro build. A few notes: there is no mount for a hard drive, only motherboards with NVMe drives, so I had to hack my own solution. Also, there is no room in the case or access points for a floppy or CD/DVD drive. The front USB port connectors (USB2/3) are only compatible with newer motherboards, so they are useless with an older motherboard. The power supply must be mounted at the front and the extension, while handy, is almost impossible to install due to the mis-cut holes on the case. And the glass plate side that I received had a broken chunk missing from around one of the mountain screw holes. Also, I had to hack a rear-mounted fan into the case to get airflow through the case.

At this price point, most of the negatives can be forgiven. The biggest issue with this case are the threaded holes aren’t the most precise so some of the included screws doesn’t thread in smoothly and feel like they’re getting cross threaded. Mainly the thumb hole screws for the side panel, and the holes for the rubber feet. Other than that, the case is rigid enough so that it doesn’t feel super flimsy but is definitely not as rigid as something from jonsbo or other mainstream brands. Even with a full size atx power supply there is plenty of room to build in and plenty of space for a full size 3 fan GPU. The front I/O is pretty bare, no power/hdd led so only a power switch connector to the fpanel header. Enough space at the top and bottom for 2 120mm fans, if using a fairly large gpu, the bottom fans needs to be the slim type to fit and have enough space for air flow. Definitely use an sfx power supply that’s fully modular to ease cable management. Overall this is a nice inexpensive case for a budget SFF build that’s easy to build in.

Personally I think this is great for a travel PC. Ryzen 5 3600 EVGA RTX 3060 FTW3 Redragon 500w PSU Crucial 32gb DDR4 (don’t remember the speed) A few gripes were the right angle on the back side power cable. Honestly wish it were straight. On the PSU side (not sure if this was limited to my PSU) but the right angle was facing outward instead of inward which made fitting it in there a little annoying. The GPU is more my own doing bc I have a 3 fan card. But it DOES fit in the case. It’s not pretty cable management but it works well. I would recommend sticking double side tape on the back of SATA SSD if you go that route (also a right angle SATA cable if you care about looks) Some of the threads on my unit were a little gummy but run the screws in and out a few times and it goes together just fine. I mostly use this in my camper on long trips and it takes up little space. Overall I’m pretty happy with it especially for the money

The case is not for new builders. I'm an experienced PC builder and this case does pose some challenges with parts fitment. The intial build used a non-modular PSU and the 6800XT MSI Gaming Trio X. I encountered some issues with the GPU width and the excess cables from the PSU. If you plan to use this case I highly recommend using a 2 fan or 3 fan slim GPU 2 or 2 1/2 slot GPU, a 138mm cpu cooler, and a semi-modular or modular PSU. For the final build I ended up using a SFF psu from CoolerMaster and the 2 slot/2 fan ASRock Challenger 7800XT. I was also able to install two 120mm slim fans (15mm thick) at the bottom as intake, one 92mm fan as rear exhaust and one 120mm top fan set to exhaust. The case is as big as the CoolerMaster NR200P. Lastly, I just wish the case comes offered with a vented, metal side panel instead of the tempered glass. Also, I wish the front panel also had some venting holes so that we can change the PSU's mounting. Overall, I am super satisfied with the case. I will definitely buy another one for another build. See below for my parts list CPU: AMD Ryzen 7700X Motherboard: B650M ASUS TUF with WiFi GPU: ASRock Challenger 7800XT OC edition PSU: Cooler Master V850 SFX (modular) CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 90 SE

For the price, this case is a great value and I’m very satisfied overall. It’s simple, lightweight, and small, which I really appreciate. If I had to point out one downside, the design around installing the PSU and power extension cord could have been better — not the most convenient. Also, I personally wish there was a mesh option for the side panel instead of just glass. Other than that, it’s an excellent case for the money.

O gabinete entrega o prometido, estou dando uma avaliação baixa por que o vidro veio quebrado e tive que comprar um acrilico para substituir

You'll need to be good at cable management. This case is great value and if you out fans in the bottom the cooling is good.

Schaut einfach selbst auf den Bildern. Es sieht einfach Hammermäßig schick aus. Das Ding ist ja: Wir wollen alle ein super kleines ITX Case mit super kompaktem Bauraum, aber der Kram ist einfach absurd teuer. Also kauft man sich ein mATX Board und mit diesem Case kommt man einfach super nah an den mITX Flare ran und dazu sieht es noch einfach schnieke aus. Absolute Empfehlung für diesen Preis einfach mega. Tipps: 1. Modulares Netzteil ist sehr zu empfehlen + Das Kaltgeräte Kabel passt nicht in den Ausschnitt. Stört mich persönlich nicht. Ich habe es mit Unterlegscheiben gelöst. 2. Meine ASUS STRIX RTX 2080 mit 300mm Länge passt um Sackhaaresbreite. Alles was kürzer ist, passt easy rein. 3. Wasserkühlung ist schwierig in diesem Case. Da kommt es stark auf die Mainboard Wahl drauf an. Theoretisch passt ein 240mm in den Boden, aber da ist mein USB3.0 Header. Oben das ähnliche Problem. Da sollte auch ein 240mm reinpassen, aber das Mainboard ist eigentlich zu nah an der Decke des Case, dass das funktioniert.
