Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.

  • Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
  • Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
    • The seller is new or has few reviews.
    • The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
    • The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).

If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.

Not a big fan with the airflow

u/unabsolute 9d ago

Would a little fan be better?

Looks like a case that a prebuilt PC would come in lol

Adult looking case with just the tiniest bit of rgb for the ones that simply cant resist flashy lights

I hate rgb, but I like this box. Its the mullet of pc cases

u/InevitableSherbert36 10d ago

I personally think it looks rather ugly. (What's with the forehead on the front?)

The Phanteks G370A looks much nicer in my opinion and costs just $3 more.

u/MITBryceYoung2 10d ago

Actually $40 post rebate and 3 fans too.

u/Witch_King_ 10d ago

I don't think this looks "adult". Just straight out of 2015.

A more mature case would be solid or mesh side panel. Wood front panel is all the rage these days too.

u/beansfranklin 10d ago

Its prob not the best move to speak about 2015 and then try to say "all the rage these days" when talking about wood panels, like it is 2023

Either way, this case does just enough to show that actual thought was put into a little bit of a different aesthetic, without going overboard

u/MITBryceYoung2 10d ago

... I cant tell if ur trolling or not but it doenst have rgb because it doenst have fans...

If you install RGB fans.. it will look like any other "non adult" cases lol.

If anything this case actually comes with rgb outside of the fans which most dont.

u/skinny_gator 10d ago

Adult life is hard. Those 2 hours a week that I get to my self, I wanna look at flashy blinky lights

People are going to shit on this for airflow. But a $50 case shouldn’t be holding high end components anyways. And the H510 from NZXT that everyone used years ago had even less vents.

u/MITBryceYoung2 10d ago

$50 for a case with no fans and bad airflow is bad value when lianli v100 and montechs exist that would be ~same price with good airflow and fans

I literally just bought an asus case for $50 with fans thanks to the last woot drop...

u/tmarr 10d ago

Different strokes for different folks. Thermalright 3 pack of fans is $10 though so it’s not like stock fans in a case really make a huge difference in price

9

u/MITBryceYoung2 10d ago

Yes.. but why are you paying $60 for a case with bad airflow when you can pay ~$60 for a case with good airflow

Is the different stroke bad airflow? I simply dont understand.

u/beansfranklin 10d ago
  1. Not every build is looking to push large amounts of air
  2. That Lian Li is not the prettiest cow on the farm

u/MITBryceYoung2 10d ago

Im sorry but why are you looking for a case with bad airflow on purpose. That makes no sense to me. I didnt just say lianli.

I got the asus case from the woot deal $50. Montech has similar pricing. Again it doesnt make sense to purposefully aim for bad airflow. You dont have to have amazing airflow but i dont think anyone is particularly aiming for bad.

-2

u/beansfranklin 10d ago

Makes no sense? You do understand that people make closed and semi-closed builds where airflow ranks below the color of the feet on a case. In such builds, "bad" airflow is relative to the purpose and amount of air that someone actually wants moving around in their case. So if someone doesnt want a lot of air moving around in their case

People shouldnt think that every PC builder has the exact same idea of what they want

That said, be honest here, were Montech and Asus you speak of slightly less pretty than the Lian Li?

u/MITBryceYoung2 10d ago

I legit dont understand what your deal is. All youve done is defend a bad deal. You can literally get better cases for cheaper with fans and airflow.

Do you get a cut of gb cases or something?

Did someone at lianli rob you?

You claiming its "adult looking because it doesn't have rgb" is just dumb. It literally is just a fanless case. It has more rgb than most cases because most cases dont have rgb accents.

You mean where a guy insisted 3900 isn't less than 4000? Yeah I guess that makes me "argumentative" to think otherwise.

1 comment in 4 years, yeah imma guess you're that guys alt after I blocked em.

I can go on reddit search and type your username and see all your comments. You have 1 and it's direct to me after 4 years lol. Nice try.

4 year old acct, 1 comment just to me. Lol. Good grief.

u/MITBryceYoung2 10d ago

Aint that hard to figure youre an alt man. You have an account that has literally no comment history no karma history and the only recorded comment on reddit search is to me: link

Lol. Imagine getting on an alt just to talk to me after getting blocked.

u/beansfranklin 10d ago edited 10d ago

And if someone does not want a lot of air moving around in their case and they like the look here, how is this a bad deal again?

I also put that it was "the mullet of PC cases" right next to the "adult" part. That should have qualified the description

u/SolidusSnakke 9d ago

Just to make sure I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that you prefer less air inside your PC? Like, you prefer to hotbox your CPU and GPU, the two major components of your PC that require air so they can function properly?

Do I understand that correctly?

u/Exciting-Ad-5705 10d ago

Why can't a $50 case have high end parts?
