Great build quality, plenty of room, great aesthetic, and fantastic thermals.
This case is straight worth the $140.00. I bought this case to replace the Deepcool matrix 70. The metric 70 when I bought it was $69. For that, you got mostly plastic construction, front and side tempered glass panels, plastic mesh that let nearly no air through, front vents that let nearly no air through, and very little cable management. For some reason, the matrix 70 also comes with a tempered glass PSU shroud which I don't understand the use for that as the PSU shroud is to cover the cables so you don't see them. With the G 501, you get more room than the metric 70 to build as you can even have a dark rock pro 4 air cooler installed on your motherboard and have more than enough room to work with the top of the motherboard. You have more than enough room for cable management the best part about that is the holes in the PSU shroud that allow you to make that horrible looking adapter cable for the 30 series NVIDIA founders edition cards look half decent in the case. You can vertically Mount a GPU which I will be doing on Thursday when my riser cable arrives and with the sheer volume of air that is in the case the thermals for the GPU won't be an issue. With everything air-cooled, I saw a 5 to 10 C decrease in temperature for my GPU and CPU when switching to this case. Don't let the front panel scare you the side vents are huge and there's no restrictive mesh on the side vents. They are just holes in the metal front plate that allow a lot of airflow. One of the other things I really like about this case is all of the filters are fabric filters. This allows a lot more airflow through the filters. On the backside of the motherboard plate, there is a lot of potential for cable management in the back of the case. The case comes with Velcro straps already on the back and knobs for zip ties. I'm not very good at cable managing but the back of this looks a hell of a lot better than the back of my matrix did. Lastly, I do love the inclusion of the straps at the top of the case for carrying. I have a tendency of moving my case and tinkering with my computer so this makes it much easier for me. It is very much true but you get what you pay for. I went out looking for something very specific in a case. I wanted a case that could handle three 140 millimeter fans in the front which this cannot but it does have the 140 in the back which I also wanted. believe me in this case 3 one 20s in the front is more than enough airflow to keep this case cool and the 140 exhaust fan right behind The CPU cooler is exactly what I wanted. If you are looking to get this case I highly recommend it and I have no regrets about getting it.Ver másVer menos
