A mio parere, buon rapporto qualità-prezzo.
The case isn't badly made. No sharp edges of note. The power supply mount area doesn't feel like it'd hold anything exceptionally heavy, although was okay for the Corsair VS600 I was using. There are very very few options for cable routing, aside from just stuffing them in the 5 inch drive bays and tying them up. Who uses CD drives these days anyway, let alone two? You're going to have one of these bays free regardless. I imagine this is typical for this price point though.
The buttons are mounted on the front panel rather than being separate. Means if you take the panel off, the cables for power and power/HDD LEDs come with it. Not a problem as such, although once you've plugged the cables in and managed them you'll need to leave a bit of slack. There's only a single fan which is okay. I felt the need to add an extra in fan, using a CPU with a 125W TDP and a garden strimmer motor powering its stock cooler, and out fan but imagine most people probably won't have to. There's only three fan mounts (2 x 120mm, one of which has a fan already on it, 1 x 92mm), but again, probably typical for this price point. I noticed the rear fan is a weird size 92mm, so watch out for that if your plan was to use an existing 120mm fan as an exhaust (mine was, should have read the instructions/realised that a small case might struggle to fit both the IO and a 120mm fan on). Only the front panel is dust filtered and this isn't particularly strong - the filters are on the plastic front panel and there's a gap at the bottom so imagine dust penetration could still be a problem. I bought a little filter to put in front of the fan (and on the side fan).
The case is quite narrow. Wouldn't want to try and put a tower cooler in it, just something to bear in mind. Manual says 148mm.
My own fault this is, but I had a little accident with one of the side panels and it bent/deformed quite easily. Just something to bear in mind if you're a person who has the tendency to trip over your own computer. Both side panels are now dented. It's not a big deal, but might want to bear in mind if you're going to be transporting it around or if you're just clumsy. It is quite light on the other hand (and small being an mATX case), so if you're after portability I'd say it's good.
The drive mount is odd, and similar to what was on my other Fractal Case - rather than being in a horizontal tray, they're mounted sidewards vertically with space for 3 2.5 inch drives or 2 3.5 inch drives. It comes with little rubberised things to stop vibrations. You can't fit a 2.5mm drive on with these rubber bits on (they pop off), or at least not without stressing the panel or drive itself, so the benefit of them won't really be felt if you plan on using 2.5mm mechanical drives (but who uses those in a desktop build anyway - other than me because I'm recycling?). You can remove the panel you strap the disks to for easier installation (or if you want to fit a bigger graphics card in with side power mounts).
Overall it's a nice case, good aesthetics - it looks more premium/stylish than it is. Not the best to build in with the cable management not being fantastic, but it's what it is and cable management isn't really that important from a functionality perspective (or aesthetic when there's no transparent side panel). Would recommend if you're looking for something affordable, relatively small and somewhat portable. I feel like I might have been slightly better off buying some different (a little more expensive which came with more cooling options and better dust filters), but for a secondary/living room/general productivity PC with modern bits and pieces (which have a lower TDP than what I put in mine) it's probably pretty fine.
Très bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:
+Looks great, it has a nice brushed aluminum finish on the front which actually looks quite premium and flashy despite being a cheap case.
+Has an adequate front panel i/o. The power button and HDD activity light are white, and there is one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port, as well as the usual headphone and microphone jacks. I liked the fact that the i/o was actually on the front face of the case, and not on the top or the side like some other case.
+The case has two front 5.25" bays, which was exactly what I wanted. The PC this case was for was going to be using Photoshop, and therefore I needed to have an optical drive, as well as an internal card reader, and these bays are quite adequate.
+For a mATX case, it is relatively roomy, and saves some space by having an upright bracket for mounting drives on. This can be removed while building for easier access.
+The case has nice feet to keep it from slipping and sliding everywhere, as well as to keep the case a little bit cooler.
+Supports 3 case fans, one 120mm in the front (which is preinstalled, and is a quality Fractal Design fan), one 120mm on the side panel, and one 92mm fan on the rear.
+The expansion slot covers on the rear of the case are painted white, and are actually resuable and quite sturdy, which is unlike other cheap cases I've bought in the past.
Cons:
-The vertical drive bracket could pose as a problem to people who have lengthier graphics cards. I have two GTX 750Ti cards, one of which from ASUS, and the other being the smaller EVGA 750Ti Superclocked, which is much smaller and doesn't require dedicated power. When using the ASUS card, it became a real squeeze, especially considering I had an SSD and a standard 5.25" HDD. I managed to get it in, but it was with great difficulty. Since then, I swapped that card out for the EGVA card and have had no problems since, as the card is smaller and doesn't require a power connector.
-Clearance for an aftermarket CPU cooler is an issue, the case just isn't that wide. Popular coolers like the Hyper 212 will not fit in this case, and I wouldn't really reccommend an AIO liquid cooler, as mounting the radiator on the side panel just wouldn't be a viable or sensible option. Instead, I bought a low-profile Noctua cooler after using the stock Intel cooler for a couple of weeks, just because I wanted to overclock my Pentium g3258 higher than 4.0gHz. As this is a budget case and will probably be used mostly in budget builds, either an Intel or AMD stock cooler would suffice, and may even be a better option especially now that AMD Wraith coolers are available. If your heart is set on an aftermarket cooler, make sure to check compatability, and ensure that the case will house it, you could check this easily on a site like PC Part Picker.
-The power supply is mounted in the top of the case. This isn't a problem for the vast majority of people but it does increase the temperature inside the case, as the power supply fan would be blowing warm air into the case.
-In a similar vein to the previous point, a modular power supply would be preferable for this case. I used a non-modular Corsair CX500 that I was reusing from a previous build, and while it is possible to use a non-modular PSU, the wires do make it tricky, especially as there is very little opportunity for cable management in this case, which is to be expected in a case this cheap.
However, if you are willing to overlook and/or compensate for some of the shortcomings of this case, you could make an excellent system. For £30, it is easy to overlook the negative things about this case, and a decent rig can be housed in this cheap, but remarkable chassis.
Pese a eso, el interior es bastante espacioso, y es un placer trabajar comparado con otras cajas mATX de volumen similar. Incluye un ventilador frontal de 12cm que es prácticamente inaudible incluso a la velocidad máxima (~1000rpm). Gracias a éste ventilador y las ranuras de ventilación en el frontal, tiene un flujo de aire decente incluso estando "encajonada".
Para mí el mayor contratiempo es que un disco duro de 3.5'' no cabe en el lugar indicado para ello. O bien se quita el ventilador frontal, o bien se "fuerza" bastante el conector SATA, lo cual puede dar lugar a problemas. Incluso habiendo quitado el ventilador, el conector está más forzado de lo que yo vería saludable. Parece que no se pensó bien el diseño de la caja en este aspecto. Claramente, está enfocada a SSDs de 2.5'' más que a HDDs de 3.5''. Es una decepción ya que el resto de la caja está bastante bien.
Per il resto, data la fascia di prezzo, risulta completo: usb3, possibilitá di aggiunta di una ventola laterale e completamente verniciato di nero anche internamente
Il case è molto compatto ed elegante.
La lamiera si presenta più o meno sottile ma considerando il prezzo è normale.
Il frontale del case è fatto di plastica lavorato in modo che sembri fatto di alluminio spazzolato. Si ha un tasto di accensione e, contrariamente da quello che c'è scritto sul sito della Fractal, non è presente un tasto reset. I led di stato sono bianchi, il led hdd è un normale led invece quello power è posto dietro il tasto d'accensione quindi si ha un luce bianca che lo circonda. Si ha una connessione USB 3 e una USB 2.
Contrariamente a molti case economici, è stata verniciata anche la parte interna del case.
La griglia sui due angoli della parte frontale DOVREBBERO filtrare la povere ma non lo fanno perchè il filtro è non è fine (Correzione: a quanto pare il filtro riesce a filtrare la polvere grossa).
La ventilazione è buona, si può installare: una ventola da 120mm (già incluso col prodotto), una ventola da 120mm sulla paratia laterale, e una ventola da 92mm sul retro. La ventola incluso nel prodotto è molto silenziosa (e sono molto esigente su questo aspetto).
L'alimentatore si installa sulla parte superiore del case che viene anche sfruttato per espellere l'aria calda, come tutti i case economici del resto.
Con la ventola frontale installata si può installare "solo" un hard-drive da 2.5" e uno da 3.5", quindi consigliato un ssd per il sistema operativo e un hdd per lo storage. E' stata sacrificata gli slot per gli hard-drive probabilmente per la possibilità di installare una scheda video di grandi dimensioni (fino a 350mm, dal sito), che a mio personale parere non lo consiglio a causa dell'insufficiente aerazione interna del case. Sul supporto dove si installano gli hard-drive si hanno dei cuscinetti in gomma che assorbono le vibrazioni dei hdd.
Quindi riassumendo:
Pro:
- Economico;
- Compatto ed elegante;
- Ventilazione buona;
- Verniciato anche internamente;
- USB 3;
Contro:
- Lamiera sottile, ma non troppo;
- Alimentatore sulla parte superiore;
- "solo" un drive 3,5" e un 2.5" con ventola frontale installata;
- non filtra efficientemente la polvere
Pareri personali:
Ho comprato questo case perchè, a parte tutti i motivi elencati sopra, sulla parte frontale non si vedeva la griglia per la ventola.
Adoro i led bianchi presenti su questo case, sopratutto quello del tasto di accensione, lo trovo troppo elegante!
Considerazioni finali:
Consiglio questo case tutti quelli che vogliono assemblarsi un computer elegante ma economico e/o un computer gaming di livello basso-medio (assolutamente non piu' alto).
lamiera molto leggera
consigliato con dischi da 2,5 pollici: l'installazione di dischi da 3,5 pollici risulta difficoltosa se non impossibile con la ventola anteriore montata (il "design scandinavo" tanto pubblicizzato lascia alquanto a desiderare).
completo set di viti
manca il bottone di reset
With lack of any significant reviews online, I had to go on gut instinct based on the looks of the case. I suppose that's all that matters to the end-user, right? The basic, but clean premium-look design of the Core 1100 quickly drew me in compared to the similar or cheaper alternatives - no strips of light luring in the Michael Knight wannabes, no cheap LED fans, no weird plastic front plates trying to look like some 80's idea of a high-tech future. Fractal Design have kept it simple and they have done it well.
The contents of the box included the obvious, as well as a warranty/returns card and a step-by-step guide for installing all your shiny new PC parts in to the case. Handy!
Removing the side panel was simple enough using the provided thumb-screws, not often found with cheaper cases. The panel itself was sturdy and didn't feel thin or flimsy in any way. Where I expected to find a grey bare metal interior with dots of black paint from where the painting of the exterior ended, I was wrong. This sleek black paint job continued inside as well, no expense has been spared. There were no sharp metal edges in sight either, which is always a plus! Pre-installed in the case is a 120mm quiet fan, which was at the front of the case. I attempted to remove the front panel of the case to have a look, which proved to be quite fiddly, so I left it as it wasn't necessary and I didn't need to remove the fan.
Where the 5 1/4" drive bay (for your CD/DVD/BR drive) is your typical cage located at the top of the case, there is no cage for your hard drives. Instead, a single vertical metal plate with a variety of screw holes is installed from the 5 1/4" cage to the base of the case, held in place by further thumb-screws. This is for vertically mounting your hard drives, with space for two 3.5" drives, three 2.5" drives, or one drive of each size. Included are even some rubber dampeners, but they only appear to fit in the spaces intended for 3.5" drives, presumably expecting 2.5" drives to be SSDs and not require dampening from any vibration, as caused by mechanical drives. Regardless, I liked this design very much, but it does limit you on how many drives you can have, so won't be suitable for any hoarder of hard drives or anyone wanting to build a large RAID array.
Installing the parts was straightforward enough after screwing in the provided pegs to mount the motherboard. Despite being an mATX case (so on the small side), there was plenty room to move your hands about to plug everything in to the motherboard after removing the vertical hard drive plate. The front panel wires (for the power button, LEDs etc) were clearly labelled and included the poles (+ and - signs) to avoid any confusion with coloured wires.
Replacing the side of the case was as simple as removing it, readying the new build to be fired up for the first time!
Fortunately the internals worked as expected, with a gentle whir from the 120mm case fan, which promptly slowed to a whisper (controlled by the motherboard). The only sign that the PC was on was from the soft white glow surrounding the power button, with the odd flicker of the white hard drive activity LED below it.
As you might have gathered, I'm rather impressed with this case. I'd consider it for myself if I needed a new case, and it had a larger capacity for hard drives (the only downside for my own use - remember this wasn't for me). Fractal Design will definitely be a consideration in the future!
Pros:
- Premium design/build quality
- Excellent airflow with plenty of space for any additional fans
- Cost
Cons:
- Limited space for additional hard drives might be a downside for some
NOTE: I'm aware that it might sound like I'm a Fractal Design employee, bigging up my own product, but alas I just liked the case that much :)
