This pc case is a beast that makes my 3090ti look small. Built with quality that’s for sure! Glass and back panels remove easily and feels durable. The way this case is built, it allows you to access areas that would normally be annoying in another pc case. Take the tiny power wires that everyone hates because they are small and usually fit at the bottom of your mobo. Well with this case, you can remove the bottom and plug away.Pros:DurableSpaciousGreat fansNot too expensiveHas carrying handlesComes with zip tiesIncludes everything neededCons:Rear fan does not have RGB (strange when the front three fans have RGB)Can take up a lot of desk space (was not an issue for me)

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.

1. I love the easy release sides. No more annoying thumb screws if you need to open it up.2. ROOMY! This is the main reason I got this. My old case just barely fit the new video card (about 1mm clearance). Now my card can have a party and invite others over.3. Solid. I don’t have any doubt that this thing will last. Feels very strong.4. The straps on the top hold the top panel in place. I love this because it made it easy to mount the radiator. Just make sure you’re aware if you were planning on removing the straps. The top won’t fly off or anything, but the straps are what keep it in place if you want to go off roading with your rig.The only “not amazing” thing I can think of is it was annoying getting any fans mounted on the bottom. Perhaps I missed something, or didn’t read the manual closely enough, but I just gave up and used the MANY other mount points and temps are good, so I’m not terribly worried about it. I didn’t dock points for this because its more likely user error than a design problem.Would definitely recommend if you’re on the fence.

I recently built a new PC and, after building it, discovered that the front fans in my chassis were very underpowered rating at around 1200 RPM maximum. For a 13th-gen i7 cpu and an RTX 4060 Ti 16GB OC edition, I wanted air intake and ventilation that was a little better. Since the fans on the case were ARGB, I wanted to replace them with fans that are also ARGB, but I had trouble finding ARGB fans that rated more than 1500 RPM. I eventually came across these TUF TF120 fans and, after comparing it to just about every other ARGB fan that I could find, I decided these were the best option. After getting DeepCool FK120 fans to vent air out the top of my case, I was expecting that the TF120 fans (3-pack) would come with a fan hub like the one that comes with the FK120 3-pack. It did come with an ARGB hub, but instead of with including fan power headers on the ARGB hub or including a separate fan hub, they opted to daisy-chain the fans together so that they would only have to use 1 chassis fan header. The fans came with the power lines already connected, which unfortunately also meant they were tangled with the ARGB lines. To install the fans, I had to disconnect the daisy-chain power line extenders, untangling the power and ARGB lines in the process, attach the fans to the case, thread the lines into the cable management space, then re-connect the daisy-chain extenders and plug them into the motherboard. After that, I was able to easily connect the ARGB lines to the hub and connect that to the mobo, then hold the “Mode” button on the hub to enable control via Armoury Crate and Aura Sync. The ARGB hub is a very nice convenience feature, but it would have been so much better if the hub was also for power lines. Other than that, the fans have been great. The airflow is powerful enough that I can actually feel the air entering the case when I place my hand at the front. They are rather noisy, however, not from vibration, but from the intense airflow. The sound is almost as loud as other fans that sound like jet engines. Performance-wise, when combined with my other fans and the CPU cooler, they help keep my CPU in the range of 50-60 degrees Celsius under heavy load and my PCIe 4.0 SSD’s in the 30’s Celsius, as well as my GPU. If you don’t feel that you need as much airflow, then look at other fans. However, if you want your chassis fans to have both high airflow and ARGB, then these are probably the best you’ll find.

Case looks great. Personally way better than the O11 that looks similar. Mainly since the powder coated finish on the metal has a nice matte look and it lacks (what I think) is a tacky led strip in the case. The grab handle straps are also a nice touch and quite niceLots of space inside the case and it was very easy assembling it. Have 10 fans (overkill I know) and case cooling is great 14 series i9 runs at 38C and 4080 at around 56C. Case has a filter too for bottom intake fans.
