Jonni –
Thanks bestbuy I love this case. A+ QUALITY was very easy to setup, sits on my desk next to my ps5. Cable management wasnt too bad either. Very good quality case for the money. Air flow is adequate aswell. A Very happy customer here. Thankyou once again
John –
This is an absolutely amazing case for the price. Love the small form factor as well as how sleek it is.

This a first day review so treat it as much, the case is great! It fits all the hardware I need. The front will be a tight fit for a radiator but fans fit well and the top has ample room for one if you desire it. No CD drive location and it only comes with on hdd tray, not a real negative in 2021. Has two other ssd mounting locations. Thing is great. Would recommend. I’ll edit if I have any issues
Calvin –
Love the case! swing side panel is the way to go to all builds!
Mason –
Very good value. Lots of high end features, just low quality material. Thin metals and cheap plastic
Cargaran –
Great little Case, pictures show RGB fans, does not come with RGB fans…
jeff –
I want the white color. Ordered one, get a black case, CS says return and order again; Ordered another, get a black case. Not very happy with wasting time on a case for two weeks. Someone need to fix the issue.
Rmcstats –
well made case for 55 bucks. Airflow is fine for my i3 and 1050.
Bb6nm –
The case is actually pretty awesome. Huge too plenty of build space.
CS12 –
Very good looking case with TG side panel on hinges for easy access. There vents on the side of front panel for air intake. There is HDD bay built in which is really nice. Cable management using the back panel is easy and there are a lot of room to hide cables. The only problem I’ve had is with the expansion slots cover which can’t be secured.
CaseyG –
Overall this is a great case, would highly recommend it. Only downside is it is quite large it’s advertised as a micro ATX but when I built in it, I had wayyy too much space, it’s more of a universal case down to mATX

easy to build in for a first-timer, had everything I needed to work with. Love that the door closes magnetically and is super easy to remove, as well as the other side. Love that you don’t need tools to remove sides completely and mess around in there. Having a removable dust filter on the top is also great. It looks so sleek and elegant (other than the logo on the bottom right but that’s pretty easy to cover up or ignore haha). So happy I bought it, it’s a good deal for the money and easy for a first-time pc builder to use. Sorry I will add pics later!

Absolutely mediocre. The case lacks a great number of quality-of-life features that other cases provide.
You don’t have captured-screws. The express slots are metal stamps you must cut out before installing anything into any expansion slot, which came as a utter shock to me. You don’t get a set of instructions in the box. You don’t get additional screws, you must provide your own to install anything and everything. There is one fan, and it’s a 3-pin with no support for stepping up or down by software — it’s three speeds chosen by DC, and it’s loud at every speed while not moving much air for the noise.
The aluminum build quality is decidedly mid-aughts Dell in thickness; at least they rounded the metal edges so that you have little risk of cutting yourself, which is an improvement over that horror show of case-ology.
If you tap it, you hear a hollow sound similar to an audio cage. A good litmus test on cases is seeing if your 2-year old child or equivalent weight (~30lbs) could use it as a foot stool, and I believe this one risks collapsing inward if we tried.
It does function as a case. It has okay airflow, and it provides some decent i/o. I used it as a tertiary PC build, but I wish I paid more.

I have now worked in two of the gamdias mars e2 cases and can tell you they are amazing for the price.
Pros: -easy to work in.
-cutout slots for cable management were decently thought out compared to many other budget cases. (There was a review somewhere with someone saying the opposite, glad i didnt listen to them)
– glass door is easily removable and allows easy access.
– looks sleek and simple.
– fits large graphics cards.(check specs for your card)
Cons: air flow could have been improved with more holeson the front panel. There are holes on the side of front panel but that is the extent( as a side note i was worried about a lack of air flow in this case but in reality it does not seem to be as restricted as you may think and i consider it passible for budget builds)
– out of the 2 cases purchased new i was surprised to see that no instruction manual was included like every other brand i have ever used. For me it didnt matter but for someone new to building this would have been helpful for them. In fairness, this can be found online.
Other thoughts- the quality is there and you cant beat the price for what you are getting. If you are looking for a budget case i would highly recommend this one. If you are willing to spend more there are better options for air flow. Hope this helps someone out there.

Better than I thought! Nice glass side panel, metal case. Looks clean
PandaTech –
Best price for micro pc case build! Love how it’s compact and the price is i beatable for the white modern design and the inside being black helps the pc look amazing.
Martin –
Well made good looking. I would recommend to my friends.
Boks –
Nice compact case. I like how compact it is. It is not too small. Just enough for matx motherboard. Airflow is good too.
Fried –
This mini-tower case was just the ticket for my new build. Well made and in stylish white.
HappyCustomer –
Ordered fast shipping Great price easy to set up made a good computer Thank you Bestbuy
Shaun –
I’ve done 4 builds with this case. It’s got great airflow and easily handles 4x120mm fans and @ 240mm cooler. Fantastic build quality and a great overall design.
SierraR –
Epic, looks very shiny and not at all damaged when picked up 🙂
Sumhippy –
Perfectly good for pc parts to fit in , fits snug.
kangzuko –
case is ok but alot of restrictions on certain areas like front fan space and rear. not enough space for the case might be switching out the case for another matx case alot of air flow restrictions.
SaraG –
Perfect size and excellent quality. My son built his whole computer and this made it look wonderful.
Mista –
I got this as it was one of the cheapest cases available on Best Buy and i just needed a case. It’s nice though, easy to build in (especially sticking a tiny ITX board in it), decent cable management options, comes with screws and cable ties.
DanielP –
This is a really nice case, I have no complaints about it. I was looking for something that had the power button on the front, and this did
Patopato –
For the money, pretty solid
Outer materials are strong, airflow a bit restricted in the front but with the kind of components someone would put in a $50 case, it’s adequate
Door hinge is nice, tempered glass
Little bit hard to build in, just plan it out and think it through
Oculus –
Great small little atx white case that has great cooling
Maximiliano –
Easy build with and has a clean look. I like that you can open the side glass panel with ease.
Dagon11235 –
The side glass slides off for building and is magnetically held normally. If shaken it could open since it cant be screwed on but otherwise not a bad little case
Will –
I like it there’s an ugly logo on the front but I don’t really see it that much . It fits all the components just fine . I like it great buget system
KellerH –
Very easy to build in case at a great price. Only a few minor complaints that have to do with the fact that it came with 1 fan and cheap expansion covers
Peterock4090 –
The case was a breeze to work on would recommend to anyone who wants a nice compact build
PomQMiJu –
The S.O. was complaining that her PC was ugly, so with some Best Buy reward certificates sitting around, decided to move her computer components into a new case. This was by far the best and most feminine looking case they had (though I’d be happy to rock this design for my own PC as well), and in the end, it was mission accomplished as she seemed happy with it.
GavinS –
The case is pretty good, but it’s a bit painful to build in, alongside the front USB 3.0 ports being of dubious quality. However, the gull wing door is very nice looking and is great for accessing what you need to, since you can just slide it up and away.
