  At 25 euros, it's the best thing I've found! Nice space, sturdy and nice tempered glass. I really didn't expect it.

  Very interesting case, a little strange with the placement of the PSU but the beauty and spaciousness of it, both for cable management and for how large graphics cards it can fit, is exceptional and unmatched for its price. Indeed, the airflow seems disadvantageous, but I believe that with the appropriate fans on the top, it will be decent if there are temperature issues.

  Very affordable case that I liked.
  I got it to put in spare parts and build an HTPC.
  It has incredible quality for its price (excellent thick paint, sheet metal thickness, and no sharp corners).
  On the other hand, they wasted too much space for cable management and made it thicker...
  They could have made it thinner, shorter, and generally more compact and attractive for the living room.
  I liked the handles as details to lift the panels without using nails and the screwdriver holder that unscrews the motherboard sockets without needing pliers!!!

  A pretty good "small" case, with very good ergonomics in terms of its size and philosophy. Definitely experimentation will be needed for the correct and practical placement of the hardware, but the results are positively surprising! Its construction is good without anything special, the removable filters perform well and there is enough space for cable management. A big plus is that extra fans can be strategically placed in such a way as to maximize cooling!

  As for the temperatures, which is the main reason why the case has been discussed quite a bit, it is definitely particularly bad in stock form. The airflow is minimal! Personally, 6 x 120mm p12 pwm fans from Arctic were installed, which do a great job resulting in temperatures staying at particularly low levels compared to a previous build in another case with better airflow according to reviews and with the same hardware (medium-high end).

  A fairly decent case for those who want ATX in a small package, beautiful and minimal that can accommodate almost everything in terms of hardware.

  I was looking for a case for a loose PC I had in the living room (motherboard, power supply, cables all loose next to the TV). I found something for 100+€ for my full ATX motherboard. It is exactly what I was looking for and at a ridiculous price. The construction is the best for the money (34.90€). I would easily buy another one. Now, I don't have any opinions on airflow since it has a Pentium with an RX550, so it doesn't have crazy temperatures

  The box is quite good, especially for the money I bought it (34.90), it's worth every euro. It is small in size, which is exactly what I needed for a simple system I wanted to create and for the spot where I placed the box. Its quality is satisfactory for a box of this price.

  The Q500l is a peculiar case mainly because the power supply goes in the front. This allows it to accommodate an ATX motherboard and large graphics cards. It might give some beginner users a hard time during assembly. The airflow is decent but not only with the included fan. Additional fans need to be installed if powerful hardware is used. It is also important to mention that it is made of acrylic "glass" and not glass. For under 50 euros, it is worth it for someone who wants a compact case but with plenty of room for hardware. You can watch a video about this specific case here:

  This specific case has very poor airflow and bad temperatures. It would be good to spend a little more money and get a more reliable case.

  It is a very good case and it can fit everything despite being small. Of course, I really like that it is not big because it makes it very nice. The cable management didn't give me any trouble, although I haven't done the best job, but it's okay. It has enough space at the back for drives and cables. Definitely an affordable solution.

  Very good purchase, possibility of placing it horizontally or vertically.
  It can hold up to 6 12-inch fans (I have it with 5)
  It also has the capability for 14-inch fans.

  I bought this box purely because of its size, guys in 2021, I can't stand seeing boxes that look like refrigerators. For the 30 euros I got it, it's really good, as some kids claim for air flow, I just have to say that the box is almost full of holes from everywhere, for anyone who has noticed it either from pictures or videos on YouTube, so the problem of high temperatures doesn't apply, moreover, most people use liquid cooling, which fits in this particular box. Anyone who wants a small box that can fit everything, I recommend getting it, but not at this price. I repeat, I got it for 29 euros because of Black Friday.

  In the case, I have made an intervention by placing the power supply at the back bottom part, having a micro ATX Gigabyte B450M S2H motherboard. This way, I managed to install 2 front 12" RGB fans and one rear fan.
  The case has very good airflow and is quiet. It comfortably fits large graphics cards.
  As for the high temperatures I read about in the games I play like WoW - World of Warships, I haven't seen temperatures above 60 degrees on the graphics card.

  I have the above case for about 6 months and overall I am satisfied. It looks very nice. I was disappointed when I found out (after the purchase) that it has one of the worst airflows among cases in 2019 (tested by "gamers nexus" on YouTube). The reason is that even though it has holes everywhere and seems to have good airflow, each side ends up being 70% metal and 30% holes because there is a large distance between the holes. Until then, I hadn't noticed any temperature issues, but afterwards, I realized that there is indeed a small problem. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 and an MSI RX 580. Initially, the temperatures were 70+ degrees Celsius for the CPU and 75+ degrees Celsius for the GPU under load, and the stock AMD cooler was struggling.

  So, I bought some 140mm fans for the case, which I recommend everyone to buy and include in their budget (or 120mm), and a CPU cooler (optional). On the case's website, CoolerMaster says that it doesn't support 140mm fans in the front and bottom, but there are holes for:
  Top: 2x 140/120 mm
  Bottom: 1x 140/120mm + PSU | 2x 140/120mm
  Front: 1x 140/120mm + PSU | 2x 140/120mm
  Rear: 1x 120mm
  The PSU can be installed either at the bottom or on the right-top, and depending on that, there is space for 1 or 2 fans.
  ⚠ If you install the PSU at the bottom, the entire ATX motherboard won't fit. For ATX, the PSU must be installed on the right-top.

  It comes with one 120mm fan at the back, of average quality.

  ⚠ On the bottom side, even though it has holes, if you install a 140mm fan, it may "hit" and you won't be able to screw it in (at least my fan, which is 27mm in height). I recommend using a 120mm or slim 140mm fan for the bottom.
  edit: in the photos, it seems that it barely doesn't touch the front panel connector, but it hits the bottom part of the motherboard, so it can't fit below the motherboard and there is a small overlap. The 120mm fan doesn't screw in below the motherboard but in the front, so it won't have any issues.

  ⚠ Since the case has holes everywhere for airflow, you can tie the cables with zip ties to them (they don't fit perfectly) a bit to the side, and you won't be bothered by the holes. That's what I did. Also, it can fit a 140mm fan in the front, even though it's not mentioned on the website, but be careful if your PSU is long, like the Corsair HX Series HX1200, the 140mm fan may not fit.

  As for cable management, it's generally a difficult case, but it has a lot of space at the back. There are many points to hide cables and route them to the back, so you can have a visually pleasing result. For me, it was the most challenging cable management I've done, but it turned out very nice.

  The PSU mount is also a bit strange. Don't confuse the screws because some are small and go through the inside. When I switched from a full wired to a semi-modular PSU, because the cables would be somewhat visible, with a semi-modular PSU, the result is much nicer visually.

  The front panel can be mounted in 3 positions: top, right, and bottom.
  ⚠ If someone wants to mount the front panel from the top and pull the USB3 to the bottom side of the motherboard (where the connector often is), the cable won't reach to pass it behind the motherboard and below. You will need an extension or the cable shouldn't go behind and be in the middle (boo! for the last option). I recommend mounting it on the right side so that it covers the PSU cables a bit.

  I saw in videos that it supposedly doesn't have good build quality. It's actually fine. It's not made of steel, but for a budget case, it's very good, and everything is in its place. The side panel is not tempered glass, which I don't like.
  The PCI caps are metallic and screw-on, not glued on, which eliminates the need for breaking them.

  It is not a disaster as often presented on YouTube, even without the case fans. The Ryzen 5 3600 starts throttling at 95C, and I wasn't even close to that. On my GPU, the fans didn't go above 75%, which means there was room for more. Sometimes it just made a little more noise before I installed the case fans.
  edit: with an upgrade to the MSI 5600xt gaming X, which has a thick cooler, the GPU fans don't even start, and I can barely reach 70 degrees, and then they start to lower it (I haven't adjusted the fan curve).

  After all this, I wouldn't recommend the case. Today, at 70 euros plus an additional 15-20 euros for fans, we reach 85-90 euros. With that money, you can definitely get a case with better airflow and tempered glass on the side, which are available within this budget.

  If someone, like me, really likes the design, then go for it. It's not a disaster and it's very nice to play with.

  I bought this specific case to accommodate a full ATX motherboard and it fits perfectly, with all the necessary space without anything being cramped.

  The case is generally good, but I will mention the NEGATIVES first, as I believe it is somewhat misrepresented as a general impression by others and there is an exaggeration surrounding its overall image.

  Here we go:
  1) The problem with the case, as can be seen by searching various articles and YouTube videos, is the management of heat inside, in such a way as to maximize the airflow. All hardware components are closer to the walls of the case (which is logical), so strategic management of space is required inside. However, this is something that can be partially addressed by installing extra fans on top (it can fit 2x 12 or 14 cm fans), at the back (it has 1 pre-installed medium-quality fan), at the bottom (it can fit 2x 12 or 14 cm fans), and at the front (it can fit 1x 12 or 14 cm fan, if the size of the power supply allows it).

  2) Another downside (relative) that is generally mentioned and confirmed (without bothering me) is the quality of the side cover, which is not glass but plexiglass. This means that it is lighter, doesn't break as easily, but it easily gets scratched and becomes dull. However, if you pay attention to it, I don't think it is a major deterrent factor!

  But on the POSITIVE side:
  1) If you know how to assemble/build a machine, you can create a system with a full ATX motherboard and a LARGE graphics card that looks REALLY NICE and takes up a REALLY SMALL SPACE relative to what it accommodates.
  2) The metal frame is of high quality and sturdy.
  3) It has available space for very good cable management at the back, so that only a few cables are visible inside. However, with such a case, it is necessary to do the best job possible to ensure that there are no obstacles to the airflow.
  4) The filters on top and front are VERY PRACTICAL, as they offer both an aesthetic aspect (nice design) and make cleaning the case VERY EASY (they can be easily removed with magnetic frames)! The bottom filter is average in quality and fit, but it doesn't make much sense since it can be removed with simple plastic supports less frequently!
  5) The PRICE!!! I bought it for 55€, but it is not easy to find such a combination of price, size, good quality, and a reputable brand. It is a good value for money if you have the knowledge to make use of it, as most cases cost much more and the only extra thing needed is 2-3 fans for cooling/air circulation!

  I recommend this specific case if you are not planning to install high-end or power-hungry components that generate a lot of heat and if you want to "squeeze" a complete system into a small "package".

  Update 14/10/2019:
  With good cable management, a good CPU cooler, and 2-3 good fans, I have managed to have no issues inside, even with quite a bit of hardware that traditionally would easily raise the temperature (AMD FX 8350, RADEON RX 570, PCI Wifi adapter, PCI TV Tuner card & PCI SoundBlaster).
  The 2x 12cm fans on top do an amazing job and remove a lot of heat from the processor, the default fan at the back also does its job and the bottom cards have a gap from the power supply to take in air from below/front - just make sure to pull the power supply cables completely to the side/back of the case, so they don't hang in the middle! It's really an exaggeration for nothing, if you know how to optimize it! And I haven't even installed fans at the front or bottom!
