MUSETEX ATX PC Case Pre-Installed 6Pcs 120mm ARGB Fans, Mid-Tower Computer Gaming Case, USB 3.0 Tempered Glass Phantom Black Computer Case, MN6-B

The case is smaller than others Ive used for custom builds. The nice part is everything fit and its a neat package. The 3070 graphics card fit with room to spare. The overall smaller size did present some challenges and caused me to think hard about the sequence of installing components and cables. Problematic was installing the liquid cooler radiator inside the top of the tower. I did not have room for both fans because one would have touched the RAM. The other problem I had was I had planned to install two 4TB 3.5 HDDs in a RAID for backup storage. There was not room for the hard drive tray in the bottom and the power supply. Of course, the power supply was essential so I went with one 2TB SSD instead. Not what I wanted but an acceptable compromise.

Mounting SSDs to case is a pain, almost requires a 2nd person to hold SSDs while you screw it in, almost being the operative word. aRGB controller is built in to case in a way that makes connecting cords to case mounted SSDs a hassle. Neither complaint prevents you from installing what you need, just makes it harder. Once those are handled it is smooth sailing. A very nice case. Would recommend.

Overall, the case gets the job done for those who have their components and are ready to build. The main issue comes for people who may upgrade their computer once or even several times a year. Mainly, the case is too small length-wise. It makes for a tight fit for the motherboard and cable management, specifically for the power supply. On the bottom front, there is a small racking where you can put HDDs or SSDs and keep them out of sight, of of mind. The issue is that once you have secured the racking in place, if you have a modular PSU, you will only have a few inches to plug new cables into the PSU (if it is modular. If it is not, the PSU wont even fit). This means that, if you are an budget-friendly computer enthusiast, you will have to remove that racking in the front every time you need to plug a new cable into the PSU if you are adding more components, as there simply is not enough room to get the cable and your fingers in to set the cable. This means that, for the initial build, you need to make sure your PSU has all cables you will need plugged in before you secure that racking mount. The top and front fans may also need to be removed at times to make room for components you plan to install. This all culminates into a building and upgrading experience that can be more stressful and time-consuming than need be. And, much of that stress can be resolved by simply manufacturing the case to be longer length-wise by about 6 inches. WHAT I LIKE: The case was made with storage needs in mind. Counting the mounting rack at the bottom, you can have up to 5 SSDs attached to the case (2 in the mounting rack, 3 on the internal case chassis). Or, 3 SSD and 2 HDD. The internal chassis also has plenty of loops in the back to assist with cable management. You can use the provided zip-ties, or you can buy your own zip-ties or even small and thin Velcro strips to keep the cables where you want them and out of the way of the cases airflow. Speaking of airflow, the case has plenty of fans for those who still feel that they are not ready to make the switch to liquid-cooled. 3 front and 2 top in-take fans keep the air flowing in while the back output fan gets rid of the hot air. The case is also wide enough that it can support larger CPU heat sinks that have fans attached to it. Additionally, since the RGB feature of the fans is control for a small control board and the fans get their power for that, it frees up all of the sys-fan slots on your motherboard for other cooling needs. Overall, the MUSETEX computer case is most definitely an upgrade from my previous case. There is more room for storage drives, better cable management, and more options for airflow cooling (as well as included RGB). However, the design of the case makes for a cramped building and upgrading experience. Too many preinstalled parts need to be removed during component installation and upgrading to ensure new components are not damaged during the process. The space to plug in new power cables into a modular PSU is too narrow when case parts are all secured in place. Adding just 6 inches onto the cases length would help to greatly alleviate many of the issue the case has.
