I was browsing xoxide recently when I noticed these cases. The 7105H looked especially nice. has anyone heard about these cases before? I understand that they are relatively new and it's unlikely that people have too much experience with them, just curious. Thanks.

posted the original link and several members (, , ) offered quick impressions. For anyone arriving years later: obscure or older cases can be fine, but verify fit and cooling before committing. The short checklist and measurement steps below are the quickest way to avoid surprises when evaluating a niche or vintage chassis.

  • Confirm form-factor compatibility (ATX, micro-ATX, etc.) and whether the case uses a standard ATX PSU or a smaller/older form factor.
  • Check clearance: GPU length, CPU cooler height, and whether drive cages block long cards or radiators.
  • Inspect front-panel connectors (USB type and number, HD audio) and whether the case has the header cable for your motherboard.
  • Look at fan mounts and airflow paths. Older/budget cases often need at least one additional intake and/or exhaust fan for modern parts.
  • Assess build quality: steel thickness, standoff positions, screw types, and whether rails/quick-mounts are proprietary (if you liked the rail idea mentioned by , confirm they lock solidly).

How to measure inside a case before buying:

  1. Remove the side panel (or ask the seller for interior photos).
  2. For GPU: measure from the inside of the rear expansion slots forward to any drive cage or bezel. That is your maximum card length.
  3. For CPU cooler: measure from the motherboard CPU socket surface up to the inside of the side panel. Compare with the cooler height spec.

If you plan to overclock or fit high-end GPUs (as raised by ), prioritize cases with good fan mounting options, unobstructed top or front mounts for radiators, and at least two usable fan headers or a fan controller.

For standards and general case features see the ATX specification and the Computer case overview, and use a compatibility checklist such as the PCPartPicker guide to compare dimensions before purchase (ATX specification, Computer case, PCPartPicker guide).

Looks like a fine case, if I may say so myself. Looks are somewhat appealing, and the rails seem like they'd be convenient.

Actually, I appreciate you bringing this link to my attention, at least--I actually have an application that would work nicely with that plain-jane black desktop case!

Looks very Stylin! Nice choice. I have heard of them, just never actually seen one up close and personal. :-)

i havent heard of them but i have seen other overclockers use them and by looking at the pictures on the website they are very similar to coolermasters (the fixing mounts and the simple build inside) and if overclockers will use them then you cant go too wrong check out the coolermaster cavalier cases similar with the fixings but simple designs i ahbe two of them in black very nice :mrgreen:
