S300

I love this case! My build: Asus ROG-Strix B-760 mITX board Crucial Pro RAM 32GB DDR5 RAM, 5600 MT/S Intel Core I-7 13700, and using stock air cooler Noctua 92mm low-profile fan PNY 3070ti XLR8 Gaming Revel (triple fan) Samsung 980 Pro NVMe SSD, 2TB EVGA Supernova 750w SFX PSU, 80+ Gold I did buy a 4.0 PCIe riser cable as well, although the case comes with a 3.0 riser cable that does work This machine works REALLY well. The case is perfect to fit all these parts. Airflow is understandably a bit tight but with full mesh on 4 out of 6 sides, the single Noctua fan for some additional airtake on the bottom of the case is just fine. (This is really good, because I could only fit 1 slim fan inside the case with the rest of my components, and only 92mm at that!) I made sure to seat the PSU so that the fan faces outward and the other component fans already naturally face out the way that they're seated. The case was a little tight - not surprising given its remarkably small size - but I was able to get everything in and running with no real trouble. With slight tweaking to the standard settings of the GPU fan, this machine runs ~30-35c temps at rest and doesn't go above 65c for either CPU or GPU on a full-on GPU intensive game. I was worried that the gpu wouldn't fit. This graphics card is 2.2 inches deep. It does fit though! The card rests just against the outer mesh of the case. But it doesn't bow out and because it's a mesh exterior, exhaust airflow is just fine with the card. There were a lot of smart design decisions made for this case. The case is all metal - no plastic - and it has a premium feel because of that. I already mentioned the full mesh which makes this case maintain temps a LOT better than I would have expected. I now have a really nice gaming rig that takes up a similar amount of space to an eGPU and that makes my little nerdy heart happy :) I definitely recommend this case! I would ask the manufacturer to begin shipping it with PCIe 4.0 riser cables for convenience and future-proofing, but that's the only recommendation I have for this machine. Full 5 stars from me all-around to get the setup I've always wanted at a reasonable price!

I've purchased a few different SFF cases recently. I've done a few builds in the NR200 series cases, and most recently I re-did my main rig in a Dan A4-H2O, which i really like. However, I wanted something a little smaller and lighter for work travel and LAN play. I tried the Velka 7 and ended up with a bad riser cable... Ahead of tomorrow's work trip, I decided to take a chance on this case. Got same day delivery. And this case... Man, am I impressed... The value equation here is pretty outstanding. The price point for what you're getting is very reasonable. You're getting an 8 liter SFF case that is very easy to build in, as SFF cases go. The layout is well thought out, leaving me with only minor criticisms. The fit and finish are good, and appears to be powdercoated. We will see how the finish holds up over time. You're also getting what appears to be a decent riser cable (says made in Germany). The Cooler Master NR200 is a great case, but is over twice the size of the S300 in volume. The Velka 7 is over twice the price, and isn't visibly much smaller. The Velka 7 is also a much larger pain to disassemble and build in, with its tons of screws. The S300 really shines here. The layout and design are good, and I had mine finished in under an hour. I'm an experienced builder, but even a first-timer would have an easier experience building in this case than others. One thing I love is that there's often enough room in the bottom of this case for a 15mm slim intake fan. Just take your time and be methodical about the order of assembly when it comes to all the components. The manufacturer's video can help with that. Take your time, and be gentle with the cables when cable managing. Also do your research on CPU Cooler fitment, both for your motherboard and for the case. I opted for the 47mm tall ID-Cooling IS-47, which uses a 92mm fan. I replaced the included fan with a Scythe RGB fan. It cools my Core i5 12400 pretty well, and I think that's an ideal type of CPU for this case. I'd personally avoid K series CPUs completely because of their higher TDP (and by proxy, more heat). Stick with a modern i3 or low end i5, as they don't consume tons of power. With my Cooler and CPU setup, I see gaming loads in the high 50⁰s. Be sure to pick a GPU that will fit the case. In this instance, I opted for a 3060 Ti because of its size and heat dissipation ability. It pairs well with a 12400. Personally, I wouldn't go over a 3070 in this case, assuming you pick one that fits. Anything beefier, and it will use more power, which means more heat. You'll also have a problem finding any 3070 Ti and above that will fit in the length and thickness dimensions. I would probably avoid Founders cards for this case too. The blow-through design will not work well here. I tried both an EVGA 3060 Ti XC (2-fan) and a Gigabyte 3060 Ti Gaming OC (3-fan), and here's my thoughts. The EVGA XC fills less space which does leave a larger air well inside the case, but it looks incomplete. The Gigabyte OC has a blow-through design for the end fan (similar to Founders), and I do think that inhibits cooling performance in this S300 case. That said, I was able to get both cards gaming in the 58-65⁰C range, and 15 minute benchmark loads seem to max out at 73⁰C -- very respectable for an SFF case. The Gigabyte card is slightly louder, and I did downclock it 75 MHz to 3060 Ti stock clocks which helped with noise and temps a bit. The 3-fan Gigabyte card adds some extra RGB and fills the case nicely, so it's my obvious choice. People love how small the rig is, and having essentially a full length GPU in there. I used a Lian Li 750W SFX power supply, which I highly recommend in these smaller cases over an SFX-L. The cables are individually sleeved too. I opted to remove the case's carry handle. You might like it, but I don't. It's held in with two Phillips screws from the inside, and comes off easily. I bought a cheap DSLR backpack to move this PC around with, so the unsightly carry handle isnt needed. The front IO works really well so far, as well, and I love the front IO placement. I can absolutely recommend this no-name S300 case based on my first impressions and a few outings. You can really put something cool together, for not a lot of money. It could easily demolish a laptop, while making a lot less fan noise. EDIT: I have since upgraded to an RTX 4070, which creates almost identical thermals and uses the same amount of power as my 3060 Ti. I normally wouldn't recommend the 4070, because of its poor value equation, but in this case, it really shines. The case says it's can hold a GPU 305mm long. My MSI 4070 Ventus is 308mm long and fits, albeit very snugly. I had to take the chassis apart to install it (this card visible in last photo). I've used both Gigabyte Eagle and MSI Ventus 4070 with similar thermals and performance levels. I'm still in love with this case, and totally happy I was an early adopter!

So let me start off by saying this is a fantastic case! There's just enough room to snugly fit a full-size 2.5 slot modern GPU in it. I loaded a PNY RTX 3090 24Gb in it, which is like 295mm in length, and I can only describe the size of the case as though it was a "storage box" for the GPU. The fit is absolutely golden. The build went fine, Mini-ITX motherboard mounted just fine, SFX PSU is a little snug but the bracket it mounts to is removable so you can easily screw it in - it even has 6 screw holes if you want to fully secure it. I will say, with the particular SFX PSU I used, the cable management was a little rough, but it worked out in the end. Also the case does not come with fans, so I had to buy a Noctua 120x120x15mm fan. As for the CPU cooler, Noctua's NH-L9a-AM4 is no slouch. It fits with plenty of room, looks great in the case, and the metal emblem that it comes with for the front of the case JUST fits the metal trim at the bottom near the power button. Now for my one and only issue.. The front IO is a 8+1 pin connector meant to slide onto the motherboard front-panel IO header, but they pinned it incorrectly on my case. Note that the documentation is clear which pins it SHOULD be, it almost sounds like it uses normal front IO connectors as a result, but it has this connector (see images) which is pinned wrong. To fix this, I pushed the cables into the connector a bit, slid the tip of a knife in, and one-by-one removed the two power switch connectors and ran them to the right spots. Because this took me a lot of time to confirm which pins were which, and there's not a lot of documentation on it, I marked them in one of my images. For me, the pins were in a 2x2 square at the top, whereas they need to be in an inline 4x1 arrangement (on the side with only 4 holes, not 5). I tried to make it clear in my poorly mouse-dawn diagram, but you need to remove the two wires from the side with 5 holes, then put them on the lower two holes of the side with 4 holes. Once you do that, it boots fine, the LED for the button works, and the case is worth the time and money. Finally, I bought one more because I fear it'll go out of stock before my next PC build, so I wanted to ensure I had one just in case. Good cases are hard to come by sometimes and this one is one of the best SFF mITX cases I've seen. It may take a bit more work than a normal build, but it is absolutely worth it.

This is my first time building a gaming PC, my prebuilt pc is in the background in the photos. I really wanted to try building something compact that still could play whatever I throw at good settings. Went with 3060ti, 12th gen i5, 2x16gb ram, NVME 1tb Samsung. First off, it’s actually not too bad to build on, the entire assembly comes apart with a few screws. I love that, it’s the best way to make cable management in this case possible. Some of the parts are a bit finicky, like the handle at the top of the case is held in place with two downward-facing screws. The only way to tighten them is to completely disassemble the PC, motherboard and all. Put some blue thread locker on it so you don’t have to worry about that. Get the slim noctua cpu fan. It fits, and a 12th gen i5 unlocked at max load, max fan speed, doesn’t get above a 65 centigrade. Also get the noctua SLIM 120mm case fan to cool the motherboard. I set it to max fan speed as well and will still barely hear either of them spinning. Mobo also won’t go above 65c for me. I’m not doing any overclocking, so for me this is plenty good enough. Tips: Use NVME drives. No space for SATA storage if your gpu is greater than ~200mm. Don’t use a graphics card that needs 3 io slots or won’t fit. MUST use a SFX psu. (A standard psu is almost as big as the case itself.) I really don’t think there’s enough space for an AIO/radiator, it’s way too small for that. Yeah so, it’s definitely possible to build yourself a gaming PC that’s the size of a toaster with this case. I like it, would consider using again, would recommend to a friend.

Fantastic case for the price. The build quality is not outstanding, but solid and quite good. Packing a 4k gaming system inside was a relatively easy 1h job. Thermals are good. Esthetically pleasing. Would buy it again.

Just finished the build, pretty content with this case. Decent "budget" alternative to the other <10l options out there The powdercoating is solid, all the mounting points are lined up well. The PCIe 3.0 cable fits fine. Came with a bonus magnetic filter for the bottom which was nice. If I was to nitpick, the handle is a little cheap, but you can get a good idea from the photos. Like another review mentioned, you're probably going to want to throw some threadlock on the handle screws because you're going to have to take everything out to get to them again. The printed instructions are laughable, but there's a video of a build on here that shows pretty good detail. This was my first PC build and it was pretty straightforward. I have a 120x15mm noctua fan under the motherboard. It specs a smaller fan under the PSU, but good luck not interfering with PSU cables. For fitment reference: RX6800, Ryzen 5700x, AXP 90x53 cooler, SF600 PSU. Decent temps in the case, though none of my stuff runs terribly hot.

The case overall is pretty decent build-wise, the handle is nice and sturdy and none of the screws were stripped or not threaded so that's a plus! Everything did fit inside the case using an h610 itx board from Asrock and an rx 6700 xt clChallenger D and a 650 watt Silverstone SFX PSU, it has enough space to place a sata ssd underneath the motherboard and gpu put the clearances for everything else is fairly tight so it's not the easiest to just fit parts into, but that's how most itx cases are. Cable management could be better but I had taken the pc apart several times dealing with an issue getting the thing to post to bios which I will touch on in just a second. Probably the worst part of this product was the gen 3 pcie riser cable, it had slipped my mind but the pc wouldn't post as the h610 and 6700 xt are both gen 4 while the riser is 3.0. So after a while making sure the gpu and riser was seated correctly (when screwing gpu down the gpu would pull out of the slot a little so you have to fiddle with the tension while screwing everything down) but I eventually pulled everything out and connected direct to the mobo to get to the bios to switch the pcie port to force gen 3.0 I'm order to use the riser cable correctly. All-in-all the case is small enough to put in a back pack and has a pretty good feeling build quality, one Philips head screw driver took it all apart, I suggest getting a gen 4.0 riser cable to replace it or a use a cpu that has integrated graphics to atleast change in bios to 3.0. I was using a 12100f so I had to balance the whole mobo and gpu on the case to fix it. Other than that I reccomend it!

This case is excellent. However, the PCIE riser cable included with mine seems to be defective. Some advice I wish I had at the start: CABLE If you want to replace the PCIE riser cable, you need either a 19cm Dual Reverse cable (like the one that came with the case), or a 25cm Straight cable. LINKUP makes both of these in PCIE Gen 4. Straight PCIE cables are not compatible with the optional 120x15mm fan. The cable that came with the case, which I suspect was defective, gave me less than one tenth of the FPS the LINKUP one does. While the LINKUP 25cm Straight PCIE Gen 4 cable fit and screwed into the case, the way it contorted (squeezing the Motherboard, GPU, and preventing installation of the 120x15mm fan) ultimately bothered me enough to replace it with the LINKUP Dual Reverse 19cm PCIE Gen 4 cable. The new cable works flawlessly, offering PCIE Gen 4 connectivity with almost the exact same footprint as the 3.0 that comes with the case. The fan is snug, but it fits and functions perfectly. HANDLE The leather handle for the case screws into the Motherboard/PSU bracket (the one that bisects the case) through the outer shell. If you want to tighten the handle screws, remove the handle, or remove the outer shell, you need to do so without the Motherboard or PSU installed. Updated: I replaced the Straight cable with the Dual Reverse cable. For anyone needing a replacement for the PCIE cable, I would highly advise the LINKUP 19cm Dual Reverse PCIE Gen 4 cable.

Produto chegou bem embalado sem nenhuma avaria, o acabamento e quinas muito bem feito, é bem mais bonito e compacto pessoalmente. Veio com uma caixinha com os parafusos e algumas presilhas para organização de cabos, uma tela que acredito que seja para filtrar o ar puxado pela placa de vídeo, e a extensão PCI express branca. Entrega foi super rápida tbm, chegou muito antes do prazo, eu não estava nem esperando quando o entregador chamou. Recomendo.

Small easy to transport everything fits no complaints

I like the case. It looks good and fits my bag well. Cable management is straightforward since the motherboard is mounted upside down and the airflow is logically designed. Adding a 12015 fan at the bottom is recommended to improve the thermal environment.

What im happy about: 1. Build Quality is very good. 2. Amazon has good buyer security. What im not happy about: 1. It is impoted on-demand without stocking goods as it took 15 days before it actually started shipping + a very acceptable 8 days to reach destination. 2. price in china + 150% = price i paid for in India. Sad =(

Awesome case, temperature was good, much cooler than my Fractal Ridge for some reason - despite its much noticeably smaller size (8.1L vs ~11L). Assembly was a bliss, no bullshit over-engineering but convenience in mind (I am talking about its construction, the placement of screws, motherboard orientation and front panel cable length). While a 120x10-15mm tall fan for bottom intake is suggested according to the manual, I could slot a 25mm tall 120mm fan underneath the motherboard just fine. Loosen the fan screws a bit if it makes noise, mine is then running almost silently. More work can be done with the language in the manual but it is a negligible point as it is overall intelligible. It come with all the screws you need for it as well as a dust filter and a few cable management tools, though really not much. I did not use them. 5700X3D ASUS Dual OC 4070 Thermalright AXP 90x53 Full copper Thermalright 120x25mm case fan at the bottom
