MARS GAMING MC-CORE, Ultractompact MicroATX Gaming Case, Metal-Mesh Front Design, 2x FRGB 120mm Fans, Full Side Window, Mini-Tower PC with USB 3.0, White

Little beauty of an ITX case and really good value for money. Just be aware that this is really only suited to air colling though.

The media could not be loaded. It is an awfull case to build in it has 2 cable holes but it's not thought out cause it gets blocked by th motherboard when u install it and because ther isn't enough space at the bottom the bottom Fans can't fit and it look dumb without that so I wasted 2 Fans and it is wayyy smaller than it shows in the pic it says dual chambered and it is in a way but there isn't enough space to say it is and when the case comes the screws for the tempered glass is kinda wired so u need the screw that they give you but dumb enough they put the screwdriver inside the tempered glass so how am I supposed to get the glass of is the screwdriver that takes the glass of is inside and I need it to get inside then I had to take the while back off to get the screws

I've got this case to swap the case and upgrade an old pc for my son. The case is compact, bear that in mind if you plan on getting this case and have long and lots psu cables will be tough to have any clearance. M-atx motherboard fitted well. I wouldn't try to put a 4slot ram motherboard as will leave no room for front fans at all and would be a struggle. I have added another 120mm front fan and keeps it really cool overall. I still have enough room for a 3.5 inch hdd wich will be added later. 2.5 inch ssd fitted just well. Build quality isn't the best as cheap plastic is used and the metal bits are a bit flimsy but you can't complain at this price point which balances price to quality ratio. Side window is plastic so don't expect tempered glass. I would mention that the rooting at the back of the panel was ok as my psu used cpu, motherboard, gpu cables and has 4 molex connections and 4 sata connections. Used zip ties to keep them together and everything is nicely rooted.I chosed this case for it's compact form and overall it ticked all my points.

This is a very compact case, I’ve worked on bigger ITX cases than this! Photo shows it compared to an old Antec case as an example.You can use mATX boards but there’s very little room.Your graphics card choice though, that you need to be careful with. I went with a Costco 1660s that’s pretty small and low powered. Fits fine. But a 2070 I tried? No chance.The case itself is made of very thin metal, it’s super light and flexible. You push too hard it’s gonna bend. And these panel? It’s thin Perspex that will deform and crack easily if you are not careful.The front light bar looks quite nice and a button on the front gives a good selection of colour schemes. The 8cm fan is fixed rpm and fixed colour.Cable management is…. Not the best. There’s some space behind the board for flat cables but it’s limited.Bottom line is it’s a cheap case, really cheap. It looks ok but when you work on the case you know you are working on a cheap case. The finished product looks ok though. Three stars from me.

I knew this was going to be a small case but when I picked it up from the locker, I was shocked at how small the box was. Saying that, everything I had fitted neatly. I used an MATX board and a 1080 Ti card and all went well. Nice little touch with the RGB lighting (I built this for a child). Yes, you have to think carefully about how you route the cabling and the window is plastic not glass but I think the price paid was very reasonable for what you get.

I was searching for a Mac Pro-inspired Micro ATX case, which I’m sure is a familiar story for many. Unfortunately, this case feels lacklustre and has several areas needing improvement. I purchased both this case and the Thermaltake S100TG to compare them in person, as they’re similarly priced. Here’s a breakdown of each aspect of the case and how it compares to the S100TG.Exterior and Build QualityMaterials:The main shell of this case is made of steel, but it’s noticeably thinner and lighter than the S100TG, which doesn’t necessarily feel like a positive. The steel feels weak, especially around the front grille, which is made from ABS plastic. While I understand CNC-machined metal isn’t feasible at this price, a vacuum-metalised finish would have been preferable. The only actual metal in the front panel is the mesh behind the plastic, which is disappointing for those hoping for a more premium feel.Glass Panel:The glass side panel is thicker than the one on the S100TG, which is a plus. However, the thumb screws feel lower quality, with a poor finish that makes them feel cheaply made (the S100TG on the left, iPro on the right of thumbscrews picture). This reduces the experience of handling the case, especially if frequent access to the interior is needed.Feet:The case feet are entirely plastic and differ significantly from the advertised images—they’re the wrong material, colour, design, and even shape. The foam on the feet, meant to protect surfaces, is of low quality, making the feet feel like a shortcut. The discrepancy between product images and the actual feet is misleading.Interior Design and FeaturesHard Drive Mounts:The hard drive mounting points feel cheaper than those in the S100TG. The slots and internal structure lack refinement, and the interior quality feels low, even without adding components. I suspect fitting parts might not be as smooth compared to the S100TG.Cable Management:Cable management space in the rear is more restricted than in the S100TG, with physically less room for routing cables. This could make it difficult to achieve a tidy setup, especially with a Micro ATX build where space is already limited.Filter and Ventilation:The removable mesh filter at the bottom was poorly made; it arrived slightly bent and didn’t sit flush with the case. This could lead to reduced airflow or dust buildup over time, and the ventilation design overall seems less effective than that of the S100TG.Assembly and User ExperienceManual and Instructions:This case came with no manual, and there’s no detailed guide online—only a basic overview on the manufacturer’s website. The images on Amazon provide about as much detail as you’ll get, which isn’t ideal, especially for less experienced builders.Suggestions for ImprovementGiven these issues, I’d suggest Mars Gaming consider a 2.0 version with improvements and a slight price increase. At £35–£40, this case feels overpriced for the quality currently offered, it’s better to offer a slightly more expensive product if it’s far better overall at say £50-£60.1. Enhanced Manual: Include a downloadable manual via a QR code to aid assembly.2. Unibody Front Panel: A unibody front panel without the “dipped” design would improve the look.3. USB-C Ports: Replace USB-A ports with USB-C for modern compatibility.4. Hard Drive Mount Tray: Add a dedicated tray for easier hard drive installation.5. No Glass Panel Option: Offer a version without a glass side panel for those who don’t need it.6. Additional Colour Options: Introduce a “metal” colour option beyond just black and white.
