MTALLICGAR MetallicGear 520 Series (520 Series, Neo Air - Black/White)

The first time building a pc and this case was great to build in. Not only did was easy to route everything, it came with everything and more. The fans look fantastic and so far my temps and have been very good. The only downside (if you can call it that) is the top of the case. Not the biggest fan of the design but it's still functional. Other than that, it looks great, was relatively easy to build in even for a first-timer, and the accessories that come the case were great

Absolutely brilliant case... Easy to build in, plenty of space and features... Bargain and is the best case I have built in.... Definitely recommend it... Really good quality, doesn't feel cheap or flimsy 👍👌💯

So getting into it, the case itself is presented in a minimalist fashion, with a little flair at the front for those RGB fans. These fans are not the best for airflow, and include no instructions for installation. (It took me a little while to work out what cables go where and what works best with the slots on the motherboard).The front and side panels sport a nice and heavy, non-smeary glass in the tempered flavour.The case bolts and thumb screws can be a little heavy handed to manage, but that is to be expected with a case this cheap. Cable management is a little squeeze (component dependent), however can be easily covered up with a great result if you manage to stuff it all in.Overall airflow is not amazing in my personal build as I have the two front fans in a pull configuration, and the others including my rad in the push. With a AIO this is basically the only configuration you could possibly use, unless that is, you replace the front fans with the rad, then use the given fans as exhaust.I have no formal complaints with the design, it's a solid piece, and for the price mark of something similar from more reputed manufacturers would have a heavy enthusiast tag of about £30-£50.Overall I would give it a 4.5/5.The only things that let it down slightly is the tacky thumb screws, and the fact that the HDD tray is non reversible? Surely it would have made more sense to keep the sata and power sata cables inside the box rather than ruining my front grill, panel-off view.Well worth the money for any prospective buyers! It's Phanteks quality from Mettalicgear, just not the price tag!

Amazing build quality (same as Phanteks) for a good price. Convenient installation with spacious cable management. The patterns on the tempered glass creates a cool effect with the included addressable RGB fans. Thermals are good because of the extra vents in the front.

Very good case. Cable managememt a breeze. God fans provide adequate cooling (so much so that unless gaming, my gpu fans do not turn on. Plenty of room for AIO and good mounting for HDD/SSD.

Everything installed neatly, good build quality and I think this brand is a subsidiary of the well known Phanteks.Just oozes quality and very happy with it. Some call it a poor man's NZXT, but there is nothing poor about this!If you like what you see in the pics you'll like it when you get it too. We are in times where you can now have a very powerful PC that doesn't need to be in a massive full tower or a really wide one. This was perfect middle of the road for me with a sturdy feel (not like those cases you can dent when lightly pressing your finger on them!) Also I feel the price was just right.

Pros:Front fans installed and wired ready to connect to RGB controller/motherboard if you wish. I removed them.SSD fixing behind motherboard allows 2 SSDs to be installed. Install SSDs before installing motherboard as motherboard covers screw access. See cons.Access to 3.5” HDDs trays is by removing front panel. Comes completely off, no cables attaching it to the case.Motherboard stand-offs already fitted for ATX size boards.Side panel screws are attached to the panels so you don’t lose them.PCI slot case screws already installed. Removable slot covers not knockouts that permanently leave holes in your case.Plenty of room for 240mm/280mm front mounted radiator BUT my Corsair AIO had to be mounted radiator tubes at top because my 1660 super wouldn’t allow tubes to pass from bottom.Bag of screws for fitting PSU, motherboard, SSDs/HDDs, cable ties.Good cable management, plenty of holes to pass cables through.Cons: Some of these are personal preferences.No HDD LED light. No power LED.Not enough clearance for a top mounted radiator for my Gigabyte Aorus x470. This will depend on your motherboard.The cover that covers the SSD drives is not deep enough. It has to be removed permanently in order to attach SSDs.PSU filter access is at the rear of the case.Some good, some bad but for the price is worth it.

Great case for a great price. Fits my rather large micro itx motherboard. Loads of space for all components. Very nice cable routing. Loads of space. Has spa e for 2 HDs and 3 SSDs.
