Build Quality.

Cons

Plastic feels flimsy.
HDD dock not really there it is just a connector.
Large opening in side panel means that noise is hard to keep within the case.
Small openings in the mainboard tray for cable management.
Limited air flow from the front fan.
Rather poor noise insulation.
Cheap elements such as primitive feet and single use expansion slot brackets.
Narrow compartment for cables behind the mainboard’s mounting plate.
Only 2 PreInstalled Fans.
