Unfortunately, this enclosure has several weak points. The advertised ability to accept ATX power supplies is not given in practice (or only possible with very, very few ATX power supplies): Even with an SFX power supply (Silverstone SX500-LG), space was already tight and plugging in the modular cables was awkward.
The ventilation openings are relatively unstable, the upper one likes to push inwards so that the fan installed there grinds loudly - spacer rings were necessary. The material used is probably a bit too thin.

The case is super compact and not too badly made. It is a little tricky though.

Price is great

The front covers the air outlet of the power supply that is installed in the front, which is why it overheats. Since it is made of plastic, you can modify it well with a box cutter. Now the part doesn't look so nice anymore.

This box is amazing!
I chose it because of its tiny size so I could mount a LAN config.
After receiving the box, I studied it a bit before knowing what I was going to be able to fit inside.
And the result is the following:
- Asus strix z270I
- Intel i7 770K
- a be quiet 240mm watercooling
- a 1080 ti FE from asus
- On the rear grill I put for the extraction of air a be quiet of 80mm ( that obliged me to shift slightly the watercooling )
- 16go of ddr4 G-skill RGB at 3200mhz
- A 600w SFX corsair power supply
- A ssd m.2
- 2 ssd classic 2,5".
The front panel is rather "cheap" and unfortunately during the disassembly to mount the PC I managed to break one of the plastic legs that held the face. But apart from this plastic front panel the case is entirely made of metal and is therefore solid.

Good case for a great price.
But make sure to get a sfx psu and not an atx, the atx fits but leaves you no room and makes cable management a hasle.
Everything else works fine
