Awesome case! But they jacked up the price by $20!
Really surprised with this case! I paid $39.99 for this case 2 months ago. Here is what I learned as I did the build:The case sides were flimsy. The back side panel has a dent it in. Pretty sure it came that way as I did not drop it when removing it from the box.The clear plastic side window is wonderful! No scratches and shipped very well protectedAgain, the metal is not a heavy gauge, was pretty thin but I don't intend to move this computer around much, it will be my display pieceAll interior edges were rolled, no sharp edges to cut me :)Lots of pass-throughs for cable management. My computer build looks amazing!The power supply bay had an additional grate to allow for fan to be placed to the outside of the case, reducing the heat emissions into the case.Each exhausts port has a mesh screen, they will collect a lot of dust... I'm sure.Love the thumb screws for a truly tool-less case build. No need to have a screwdriver handy for a quick vacuum cleaning.The included fan w/LEDs all worked perfectly! Great addition, saving me a few bucks on my build.Front panel accessory cords were well labeled, easy to install onto my motherboard. Everything worked first time go!Motherboard standoffs came pre-installed. Thank you! Needed to add one more, which was included with the case!Easy to install the HDD! The carriages are so easy to install the HDD into, then just click back into the case, DONE!I love the active HDD light. The blue power LED is kind of bright though. Also like the old school reset button.Front panel headphones/mic jacks work great.I only use the front panel USB 2.0 jack and it works great. (I purchased a separate 3.5 inch card reader/USB 3.0/2.0 combo and use it instead).Final thoughts:When I was looking for a budget case, my criteria included the following:Large nearly full-sized window (for adding RGB pixels later hehe)Fans included with the case (2 with the LEDs)ATX size to fit my new Ryzen systemLots of ventilation so I could overclockPrice tag at $40.I am glad I purchased when I did. As of today, this case is now at $59.99. Would I still purchase this case for this price? I don't think I would. There are much nicer cases to be had for $60 and up. This makes a great budget case. I got value for the money I spent. However, if the manufacture is reading this, they must understand that I don't believe this case worth the $60 they are asking for it. Competition is fierce and there are constantly new choices. It is a great case and I'm glad I ordered it. But, if I decided to build another computer anytime soon, I'll be shopping around as I had before. I won't be buying this one at $60***UPDATE***I have checked back today as of February 23, 2018 and the case price is now down to $49.99. No longer available for Amazon Prime shipping. If you like this product and are willing to wait for it go on sale, I is a good choice. Officially, I've been using this case for 6 months now and am very happy with it. You must be careful as the side panel plexiglass will scratch easily. Currently the case is under my desk and only have moved it to clean the unit and install additional video cards (6 monitors now connected). Recently I had to remove my Ryzen 5 1600 processor to install into a new motherboard. The motherboard was not setup to work with the new Ryzen 3 2200G APUs (old stock from Amazon). The r5 1600 allowed me to update the new MoBo bios, and I returned it back into this computer/case.The blue power LED is not nearly as annoying as I had expected, it sits under my desk mostly unnoticed. I do like seeing the red HDD activity LED going :)All USB and audio outputs work perfectly fine, as well as the power and reset buttons.I take the time to remove the dust covers and clean them regularly. The bottom power supply cover being the most challenging.Still recommending this case for the sub-$40 price :)

Nice case, great price... make sure the fans work
This case was for a gaming build and was perfect in almost every way. It is large with lots of room inside. Love the extra space for either additional fans, or a liquid cooling system. It also came with plenty of hardware and zip ties for mounting boards, fans, etc. However, it does have a few issues. The DeepCool ATX Mid Tower Tesseract SW-RD, ordered came with 2 red led fans installed. However, only 1 worked. Of course, I didn't know that until after installing the power supply, board, etc. so returning it wasn't an option. Fortunately we ordered additional red led fans, but for those folks who trust the fans will work, may end up with a build delay, or hoping that the 1 fan is enough for a case this large. The other issue is more a design thing. The pci slot covers on the back are part of the case (pressed form), so you have to bend/cut them to remove. If you know you'll never install or remove additional cards, then this isn't an issue. However, once you pop one of those pci slot case covers, it's a permanent hole in the back of the computer until you order pci slot cover plates, which is conveniently sold on Amazon. :)Overall the case is solid with plenty of room for... well really anything. If you have the space for a case this large, then I recommend it happily. Will (and have) purchase again.

This is a very good ATX tower
I really liked building in this DeepCool ATX tower. I like that it came with 2 pre-installed case fans. For under $50. I think its a great deal. One thing to keep in mind when building in this case is that you do need to pre-plan your wiring a little bit. Make sure there is enough room after you have installed you mobo to slip a wire through the top of the tower. I was using a full ATX mobo and I had to run my 6 pin power cord from my psu through the top of the case before I installed my mobo. Also keep in mind that there isn't much room on the back of this case so smart cable management is very important. I used a non modular psu and I had to be very mindful of cable management the whole time or I would not have been able to close the back side of the case. Overall I am very happy with this case. It has very good air flow, it looks great, and the price is excellent.

An improved conventional standard case, but with baggage
My goal was to find an upgraded version of a typical old school standard case that had legacy drive bays for 5.25" optical drives and even floppy drive bay! Not using a floppy drive! This case met nearly all of my criteria including a few bells like clear window to see guts, and nearly tool less drive bays. Also bottom mount power supply, and internal drive bays orientated for super easy access and exchanging! Came with 2 red lit 120mm fans and some mounting hardware. The price was decent overall too. Now, the issues: First thing, man was it light in weight! Maybe only 3Lbs? Super thin material used. Far from the old HP and Dell's from the 90's! The bus card expansion covers are not replaceable once you break them off to install video cards etc. You can use aftermarket blank covers to fill up a slot that was used and removed. Next thing was that the plastic rack you mount to a 3.25" HDD has these alignment pins that are supposed to go into screw holes on the drive, but don't line up at all! I had to cut them off with cutters, then screw drive to the carriage racks to fit drives in bays! The 2.5" carriage wasn't as bad, but still need to screw drive into them. Next was that there are 3 front 5.25" blank covers that can be removed for optical drives or some accessory. Problem, as noted by others, is the top panel is removeable BUT you cannot install a device into the bay! The top panel control cables hang down into the space! See attached photo. So, only TWO cavities can be used! To get the blank covers off, you need to carefully pop out front panel plastic mounting bosses or risk breaking them! The covers don't pose quite as much trouble and can be put back in if need be. All said and done, my biggest gripe in the top front 5.25" bay cannot be used. After dealing with the case, the $50.00 it cost is really not a great deal after all.

Quality on a budget
A good case for the money, easy to install everything into and no sharp edges. Comes with 2 fans which is nice and very sensible cable routing. Pretty quiet too. Doesn't look quite as cool as the picture as the red lights aren't in it, but personally I wanted a computer not a lightshow so all in all I'm very pleased with it!

Buono nel rapporto qualità prezzo.
Mi è piaciuto l'abbinamento dei colori rosso/nero, la robustezza dei materiali e la silenziosità delle ventole. Un case senza pretese e sicuramente migliorabile, per esempio non è possibile far passare il cavo di alimentazione della CPU sul retro della schedaadre perché questa arriva fino al top del cabinato, di conseguenza non esiste un buco di uscita abbastanza vicino all'alimentazione della CPU sulla MoBo. Ho dovuto fa passare, in maniera fortemente antiestetica, il cavo dell'alimentazione della CPU tra il dissipatore e la mascherina I/O delle varie porte di ingresso.Comprato in offerta a circa 30/40€ il suo prezzo vale, di più non so, probabilmente mi orienterei altrove, come un Mars Gaming...

Great PC case, marred by lack of 5 1/4 drive bays.
Well constructed steel, full ATX PC case with 2 fans included.It is a good size, and accomodated the full size ATX motherboard I used.The fans have colour coordinated LED lights providing a nice glow when connected.From the pictures, this case appears to have space for 4 5 1/4 inch drives, however, the reality is that the top bay is blocked internally by the electrics for the switches and usb ports, and in fact, the mash cover cannot be removed, as it is moulded to the plastic case front. i.e. even if you chose to relocate, or sacrifice the ports and switches, you would need to modify the case to fit a drive in the upper slot.The bottom bay has no internal metalwork for a large drive, but is instead configured exclusively for a 3.5 inch drive. i.e. space for a floppy drive, as evidenced by the 3.5 inch pushout cover in the bottom bay.This was disappointing, as I have a need for three drives, and could use all 4 if they were available, hence a dropped star.
