Full of features and great cooling potential, but questionable build quality and a striking design hold it back...

Quality (30% of the total score) The overall quality of the Akasa Venom Toxic is definitely very good, although we found that there is room for slight improvements. The steel body of the case is very well made and without sharp edges or other...
