Excellent in every way. It is the perfect PC for the living room as a media PC, and not just that. Small, but not insufficient. It takes 1x SSD and 3x HDD, 2x 120mm fans, 1x DVD. I love it!

2. The case is unexpectedly aesthetically pleasing with its glass. Mom would put it next to the rotunda with the columns...
3. Temperature is very satisfactory inside the case during the summer. The last "cheap" case I had used was a Corsair Carbide 100R which had worse airflow inside.
4. Price is "dirt cheap"
But... the "asterisks" begin.
Assembling this system was not demanding. Mini-ATX mobo, low-profile GPU, only one SSD. The cooling requirements of the system are small (all together 80W TDP!). I moved the pre-installed Deepcool fan to the front and placed a better Arctic fan at the back for air extraction. The Deepcool fan is 3-pin, its speed is not controlled by the motherboard's BIOS. With two fans, the noise remains very low but the system does not generate any serious heat. The plastic front panel comes off/goes on easily without any risk of damage and the fan tightens with 4 long screws that are fortunately included in the package.
The most important detail for cable management is routing the additional 4-pin/6-pin motherboard power cable before its installation. The case does not have space for it to pass through the back side of the chassis. So, first the power supply, then the secondary power cable UNDER the motherboard, and then install the motherboard. The distance of the motherboard's base from the back panel is small but all the other cables passed through easily with one or two cable ties and the case closed without any problem.
Now, if I wanted to install another storage drive, things wouldn't be so good. The glass, although nice, scares me. It seems fragile. If you change components frequently, get something else. If I didn't need the optical drive, I would buy the (other available) version of the Matrexx 30 without the side transparent panel. The metal parts are light and flexible. They don't cut hands during assembly but the side plate where the SSD is screwed almost cracked. The case comes without any manual and no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find a PDF on the Deepcool website. So be careful when testing the screws included until you are convinced that they are the right ones.
Verdict: approved for a minimum setup.
I don't say she's very good for her money. However, she doesn't have much space for cable management and the worst of all is that she doesn't have a hole where the processor cable goes, making it very difficult to install. Also, it is extremely difficult to install an SSD hard drive.
Very good case for the money. It fits even the arctic freezer duo esport34, it takes 2 12cm fans in the front and one 12cm fan in the back. The cables are hidden in the back with a little effort without anything showing in the front. Normally the bottom fan goes on the outside of the case with the large screws that come with the package, but I wanted both fans to be inside, so I made a modification
Beautiful small box that you can easily assemble, with moderate cable management and airflow. It does not support 2 front fans, but it is good for small motherboards
