CiT Work PC Case, Micro-ATX, Minimalist Design, Spacious Interior, Room To Mount Three Fans, Two USB Ports Included, A High Performance Chassis For Home and Office Environments | Black

I was looking for a small pc case to house my £3000 gaming PC….oh no, wait, I mean my PC that can game a bit but cost little more than this case costs to put together. All the holes are in the right place, there’s quite a lot of room at the front to hide cables. It doesn’t have any of that dreadful RGB and I found it pretty easy to build in…it’s all about looking at the space you have and putting the parts in the right order. I bought it because it was a small case. The only issue I had was the power connection didn’t work with my proprietary dell free motherboard. I resolved this with a soldering iron and understand it wasn’t the cases fault. If I’m really worried about airflow I’ll probably slide of the side panel, but I’m not sure how much heat using word and excel really generates. GTA V on ultra settings barely hit 60 degrees centigrade but I am using a low power consumption graphics card. Looks good, build quality is fine…..all good.

I wanted a case for a budget PC (web browsing, office work) and this was what I was looking for. Part of the case seems a bit "flimsy" but consider it is £30 which is a good price for a Micro ATX case these days. I would say the only negative for me was the fact there didn't seem much room between the power supply and optical drive (I did not try and install an optical drive for this reason). But overall I would buy again for a budget PC. There are two USB slots on the front, one of which is USB 3.0, which is enough given I put the USB receiver for the wireless keyboard and mouse in the back of the case.

I wanted an mATX case for my gigabyte a520m s2h (I'm cost conscious on all the components). So this a great case that does the job perfectly and beats expectations for the price. I particularly like (1) the smart powder coat finish exterior and interior and (2) the screw-in plastic spacers for under the rear of the motherboard that give good support when plugging the cables onto the motherboard, better than other cases I have used. I have a large cpu air cooler (150w tpd) as I overclock the cpu and memory and did not want the cost of a water cooler - the cooler fits but is tight to the side panel of the case so check the mounting height if you use a substantial air cooler. No issues with it being sturdy. Will definitely buy again if I add additional PC units. The front panel power and reset buttons are not the most expensive but are functional.

Calmly scored with 1 star.First the advantage.1. the front panel has a CD drive position, which suits my needs perfectly.2. there is more than enough hard drive space to fit three 3.5" mechanical hard drives.3. slim body size and cheap price.Then the disadvantage.1. The body is very fragile and soft. The slightest finger pressure can cause irreversible deformation of the body.2. The screws are of very poor quality and I had to enable my own leftover ones from before.3. the internal design is so illogical that my MSI B560M would not fit inside this case, the bottom of the case is close tightly to the edge of the motherboard after aligning the screw holes.4. the ATX power supply is too big for this case, if I put the power supply in first then I will not be able to install the motherboard, if I install the motherboard first then I will not be able to put the power supply in, so I had to use my old Z490i.5. only one of the USB2.0 or USB3.0 on the front panel works, when a second device is connected then the first device will not work (this is a serious problem, the office will be using USB a lot),I used to suspect a motherboard problem (but that Z490i used to work perfectly).6. When I requested a refund and return, I had to pay for the shipping costs to send it back.I don't recommend to buy it, please increase your budget and don't be tempted to go cheap, it doesn't waste much money but it wastes a lot of time.

The price is good for a budget case and serves its purpose albeit with difficulty. I was not able to install all my devices due to the inside space being very compact and cabling can be difficult to attach and keep tidy. The space isn’t helped by having provision for three or more multiple hard drives including two DVD size drives. So, be aware. Must follow instructions and that doesn’t make it easy.I recommend choosing a larger case for three or more drives and restrict this case to two hard drives. SSD drives could make an easier installation.If you’re in doubt about this case look elsewhere. There are other CIT cases at the budget end that would be a better buy,

Wanted a case that wasn't too fancy- this fitted the bill perfectly.

Difficult to fit motherboard into case because of drive mounts fouling motherboard power socket.

The rear cable management is non existent, cannot hide away the cables.
