Micro ATX Case C2P, Mini-Tower ATX/ITX/DTX Case, Aluminum Gaming MATX PC Case with Tempered Glass Side Panel Supporting Full Size GPU

I needed a super small case that will fit behind my monitors. I really liked the layout of this case. Building in this case was pretty easy. Cable management wasn’t bad with a modular PSU. I don’t have a graphics card installed, but I have space for a ~10” length card. I also do not have SSD/HDD, but there is still plenty of space. 2x 120mm fans fit snugly on the top, with room in the rear and bottom for more. Plenty of airflow with all the holes, but dust will probably be a problem eventually.Overall build quality is okay. My giant PSU is a little wobbly on the bracket. The case metal is okay and would probably dent easily. Glass seems very nice quality, although I would have liked rubber rings protecting the glass from the screws. It came with enough screws for everything (only 4 fan screws tho). Power button is pretty cheap feeling, but I can easily change it out with any round momentary switch (I think it’s 11-12mm hole).Specs:Mobo: Micro ATX Asus Tuf A520M PlusCPU: AMD 5500G (stock cooler)PSU: Corsair RM550x (160mm!!)Fans: 2x Be Quite Wings 2 120mmStorage: Crucial M.2 2280Ram: 2x 8G Corsair Vengeance

The build quality is top-notch (aluminum & tempered glass window). Parts-placement is excellent (very well "thought-out"), from motherboard to PSU & case fans - every inch is smartly utilized. Although, a small form factor PSU is highly recommended; and, the stamped-out holes are "spaced" only for 90mm case fans. There are no front ports - only a power button. Last, but not least, is CPU cooler height - for a visual aid, my Zalman CNPS9500AT fits with about .3 inches of clearance from the tempered glass side (i'm guesstimating). With all that said, i love this case; but that's mostly vanity. Balancing that with "functionality" i suppose, is up to each owner...

I used this for a retro build of sorts, soltek socket 478 board, pixelview FX5900 XT, apevia iceberg, etc. All super cool parts from 2003/2004.So this case was chosen because it’s aluminum, with a big window, shows off the transparent power supply, and it’s micro atx.The problems I ran into came as issues with build quality more than anything else. There’s no scratches or dents or anything upon arrival and it’s packaged exceedingly well, with that sort of soft gray packing foam coating the entire chassis in a thick layer inside of its box.But nothing really lined up correctly, a few of the motherboard standoffs are filled with what looks like plastic? Maybe an epoxy for better screw grip? But that made installing the motherboard a nightmare as I’m torquing down motherboard screws with what feels like outright excessive force. I had to double check myself several times… not cross threaded… it’s centered around the motherboard screw holes… I’m using the right screws…. and eventually it would screw in firmly but “firm” starts 2 threads in and eventually bottoms out at “I’m going to need a ratchet to go any further”Some I couldn’t even use because of whatever was inside the standoffs just made screwing anything in impossible.The power supply bracket doesn’t actually fit an atx psu unless you remove a screw that holds the front chassis to the back panel, it’s a few millimeters at most but it gets in the way, it doesn’t really seem to affect anything.The motherboard itself is slightly askew, centered above all the standoffs, the top of the rear I/o is slightly further back than the bottom of the rear I/o.The pci slots are slightly higher than the motherboard slots, I had to wiggle the video card I was using around a bit to get a cable to connect because the vga and dvi ports on the card touch the pci slot dividers.Overall for the price I’m just not that impressed. If you’re looking for something in this style I would immediately go for a rajintek Styx, which is a very similar case design albeit with less airflow and a smaller window rather than a full glass side panel, but it’s way higher quality.I wouldn’t recommend this case if you’re doing a conventional build, this would be for if you have a modular power supply and custom cables at the exact length you need, no sata drives of any variety, and are maybe doing either minimal fans or just a fairly low power build, because any cables at all are a huge problem in this chassis, there is zero cable management options, you’ll be zip tying stuff to the holes in the top and bottom if you’re trying to hold back any excess cables.The fault of this power supply because while it’s perfect for this build, it is not modular, I have a modular power supply from the same era but it’s not silver. All of my extra cable length had to be tucked away into one corner of the case.If this didn’t have the quality issues it has, I would give it five stars. Because for what it sets out to do it’s really good at, it’s for a very niche type of build but not having any cable management, having minimal i/o, being very limited for an matx case, that’s fine because of its size and looks.But the bad fitment of everything isn’t something I’m willing to accept out of a $90 case.

its bad quality and missing part also not enough heat dissipation

It's a great case but you can tell that a few corners were cut.The pro's:-compact but easy to work in-fits up to a 135mm tall CPU cooler (be quiet! Pure rock slim 2 fits perfectly)-aluminum finish looks goodThe cons:-fan mounting options are limited. Realistically you can do 2x120mm's or 3x92mm's in the bottom and one 92mm in the back.-this case does not have any front IO except the power button. So you'll probably need to get an external USB hub or something if that's important to you.Glass side panel is pretty thin and the thumbscrews don't have any kind of washers or bushings to protect the glass.

This isn't my first Zzaw/cheap aluminum case, so I knew what I was getting into. You have to know that you're basically paying small lot import costs and be okay with that, because you'd definitely get more for your money elsewhere.The quality is fine, nothing to complain about. I bought this case because of its unique size/compatibility combination, it's the only top mount aio/Matx board/ATX PSU case (although I didn't use an ATX PSU).It's pretty roomy and workable for the size, if you strip it down it's really easy to install everything. The front USB c is a big plus for me. The power button is sturdy, if that bugs you on others like it does me.Full parts list:MSI b550m pro vdh wifiRéférence 7900xt5800x3d2x16gb 3200mhz corsair VengeanceSf750Silverstone vida 240 slimArctic fans all around except for one a12x25 in the bottom right

I order the C2 and C2P models. The C2 arrived as expected, was relatively easy to assemble, and works great. The C2P (which looks like it is not longer available) was a different story; it was missing the entire back-panel piece to lock the PCI cards in place, it had no mounting screws included, and no PCI slot covers. However, even worse, the C2P was not as pictured; it does not include the front-panel USB port. I will be returning the C2P model (or whatever model it is that they shipped me).
