The chassis makes a great first impression, as it’s a very nice-looking, mid-sized tower. It is made of a steel structure with a natural walnut front. The left side panel is tempered glass and uses captive thumbscrews.

The opposite side panel is made of steel. The overall quality is good. The following motherboard form factors are supported:

  • ATX
  • uATX,
  • mini ITX,

It’s a mid-size chassis, measuring 447×215×450 (L x W x H), which amounts to 45.1 l of volume. The weight is about 7.7 kg, enough to make the case stable without the hardware.

The front has a design with vents to enjoy natural ventilation.

You can see a magnetic dust filter behind the front cover.

The top has no removable filter. It's a mesh panel taken off by pulling it to the back of the chassis using the leatherette handle.

Let’s continue with the evaluation of the exterior by looking at the bottom of the chassis. This time – there’s a (quickly) removable fan filter for the PSU at the bottom (instead of a square piece of mesh material).

The solid, long plastic feet (with a "golden" color) have rubber inserts to prevent movement.
