if you want a good looking gaming case that is not heavy and with a lot of space get it :)
it looks amazing on my desk very easy to put things in it and lots of space and its not heavy

Pretty sight on the desk
I Like the 5 fans in that tower, especially the two on the top, the blue color of the left side, and all the place that you have for the motherboard. It's pretty on the desk too.

You Get What you Pay for
First the bad.1. The Molex Cable are the most god aweful and cheapest things I ever seen on a case. 2 of them broke, when you unplug them, the metal comes off but I was able to get them back in.2. The wire leads to the motherboard dont match the color coding of Gigabyte mother boards, so you cant relay on that, red and black red and white? Forget it, they got white and blue, white and green, white and red. But if you put pcs together often, its not hard to figure it out.3. Cheap case. Putting the GTX 760 in, the case had to be pushed in to screw it in, A 3rd hand is sorely needed for that part, or 2 hands and a chin.4. Thermal Tape is required and not included, if you wish to properly use the LED Temp readout.(nice to let us know this when we bought it APEVIA!!!! Knocked 2 stars off for that alone!Now the good. Looks nice. Hyper EVO 212 will fit, but you do need to remove the side fan. Fans included are not RGB and I dont count on them lasting too long. I will replace them once they die(reason I say I dont count on them lasting, Stock fans normally dont last as long).It has nice room for cable Management, and alot of air flow. Overall, a few issues of inconvenience of the case being a bit flimsy and cheap, but nobody else is selling Pink Cases, so you can either go spray paint a good case, or buy this.

Do NOT follow HDD installation Instructions!
Just setup a brand new PC using this case, love the fact it has so many fans. You may want to consider getting a Fan Controller as all the fans do have 3-pin connectors AND Molex for connectivity. I received an e-mail from the company asking about the fans and was advised that the 120mm fans are 1350RPM and 57.67CFM and the big 200mm fan is 800RPM and 125CFM.But the Warning as the title describes. There was 1 other person in this list that had uploaded photos showing how they had to cram their HDD cords because of the way the case was designed. The problem is, is that the HDD section is welded 1" too close to the case frame that if you follow the instructions in the manual your connectors end up sticking 1" too far out beyond the case and you cannot safely get the outter shell reattached without bending it.The fix? Install the HDD backwards.Instead of having the cables run to the side of the case with the giant fan, attach the support brackets backwards and have the HDD connectors accessible from the motherboard wall side of the case and run the cables that direction. It worked like a charm for me on 2 builds that I had just completed.Hope this helps others until they fix the welding issue!

Not what I was hoping for
The case has all of the features I was looking for, however, the quality of the build was sub par. They missed the bottom of the internal rack when riveting during assembly making only two of the slots usable since the cheap tin now curves inward and the rack is out of square. The molex connectors for the fans were almost unusable. Rather than mating they pushed apart when inserted together. These were some of the cheapest most unreliable electrical connectors I have ever had to work with. I do not recommend this case at all. Had it not been the only pink case as requested by the owner I would have sent it back for a full refund.

Got the silver case with blue fan and it is very nice, also very quiet.
Bought a new Ryzen 1600 AF (effectively a Ryzen 2600 at slower clocks) from Amazon and wanted a cast for ATX and mATX. Also wanted to be able to use blu ray DVD's. This case is one of the few that has DVD support. It comes assembled with 5 fans installed. The fans do not feedback their speed, so the motherboard guesses their speed and reports that.Overall with 5 fans the PC is generally whisper quiet. As this is being written my CPU fan reports 31-36 degrees Celsius and a fan RPM of 1600-1800. It is quiet, but this is an AMD CPU fan, the case fans report 29 degrees Celsius get 44% power and the motherboard is estimating all 5 fans are spinning at 862 RPM. The case is very very quiet.Removal of either side panel can be done without tools, and motherboard / power supply install was very easy.If you want DVD support, a largish case which may support limited water cooling and comes with a lot of pre-installed fans, this is a good choice. Aside from the plastic fan cover on one side it is inexpensive metal on the case proper, and plastic that matches the metal on the front.

Sleek 'n' Silver!
I fell in love with this case the moment it arrived. Its metallic silver and blue styling are simply amazing (and also go with the rather silver theme I have going with my desktop) and all of its features are very nice compared to my old PC case whose front panel failed after many years of usage.This case features a front panel which consists of 4 disc drive slots (2 with hinges, and two additional covers that can be removed to accomodate.) a port for hot-swapping hard discs and the eye-catching temperature gauge, which with removal of the front cover, can be toggled with a switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. It also has one USB 3.0 slot, two USB 2.0 slots, an audio in 3.5mm jack and a mic in 3.5mm jack.The front panel's power LED is spread out between 4 LEDs in each corner of the front case, and the HDD LED, rather amusingly, is placed at the bottom where the APEVIA logo is. So, each time your drive is accessed, you get to see the manufacturer of the case.The mid tower layout is plenty enough room for micro-ATX motherboards, however, I could see the side fan being an issue if one were to cram a very wide GPU inside of it; I had no trouble fitting my XFX AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB Core Edition RX-550P4SFG5 and MSI Gaming AMD Ryzen A320 DDR4 VR Ready HDMI USB 3 micro-ATX Motherboard (A320M GRENADE) inside.Continuing on with fans, it comes with two 120mm exhaust fans on the top (with support up to 140mm mountings), one 120mm intake on the front (which seems largely covered up by the front panel styling, but also supports up to 140mm mountings.), one 140mm exhaust fan in the back (which has support for 120mm mountings.), and a single 200mm intake fan on the side. (which has support for two vertical 140mm fans in its place if the need arises.)If I could have one nitpick however, its that the fans are Molex connections, which have made cable management, for me at least, somewhat troublesome, since I like to exploit available system fan slots on my motherboard. Other than that though, this is a very, VERY lovely case. XFX AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB Core Edition RX-550P4SFG5MSI Gaming AMD Ryzen A320 DDR4 VR Ready HDMI USB 3 micro-ATX Motherboard (A320M GRENADE)

Great Looking Case
Great Looking Case. The build I am doing is currently not put together as of writing this review, so I can't comment on how well it fits and holds the motherboard and other items. Also, the temperature feature, I can't comment on it's accuracy at the moment.What I can say is that mines did arrive perfectly intact and I am happy with I can see from it. The side panel comes on and off very easily. It takes no effort at all. The case appears spacious inside and it looks like it will be very easy to work with when I get my remaining parts for this build.Here are some things I found out upon receiving that might be important to know before you purchase this.1. The pre-installed fans in the case are all molex. They will all run at full speed since they can't be controlled by the motherboard. If this bothers you, just swap them out. The window size is 200mm and the rest are 120mm. Luckily, you will only need a single molex power cable as all the pre-installed fans can be daisy chained together.2. The temperature reader uses a probe that you just stick in to wherever you want. To be honest, since you can't stick it directly onto your CPU or GPU, it is kind of useless and probably won't provide you with any beneficial information. My best recommendation is to let it float freely wherever it won't be obstructing air flow or hitting any fans or touching sensitive parts and measure ambient temperature inside the case.3. The rear expansion slots have shields that need to be snapped off to install things such as GPU's and PCIe adapters (such as wifi cards). This is slightly annoying and you need to make sure that check which ones need to be removed because you will only have on shot at it. If you remove the wrong one, you won't really be able to close the slot hole.4. Be careful of what CPU Cooler you plan on using. The side fan does take up about a good inch of clearance, so make sure you are prepared to possibly remove it (I will be doing this for the cooler I chose for this build).Other than that, this case is really nice just from what I've seen from my inspection. It is super light weight surprisingly for what looks like a very thick and bulky piece. I am looking forward to putting together this machine.

Lacks good instructions, and thermal tape, bright.
I have built computers before, so I really didn't have much trouble installing my components. I wish I knew that you would need to order thermal tape to hold sensors for temperature display. And while trying to install I accidentally pulled off one sensor wire. The large fan on the side is great for providing cooling, but unfortunately there is no way to turn off lights, and leave computer on. As this is in my bedroom, this bright blue light is rather annoying. While it looks nice, I wish they would have put a $1 switch either on the case or on the fan to turn off the lights, if you wanted. The only option to disable the lights is to leave the fan unplugged. And the display on the front is bright too.

and this case was pretty good! The notches for the standoffs are marked ...
This was my first attempt at building a PC, and this case was pretty good!The notches for the standoffs are marked so it's incredibly easy to place them. All the parts fit and aligned perfectly. My only complaint is that the pictures on the handbook were somewhat difficult to read, but for most builders who are experienced, that's no problem as you already know what to do. It's mostly about the order you place things in anyway, it's pretty self-explanatory.Daisying the fans together was no problem at all, I honestly don't even consider it an issue, not sure why so many people here seem to mind it so much. It was actually a very nice touch having the fans and even room for additional cooling systems if you want it - though for most builds the amount of fans is plenty, you really won't need more. This tower has excellent ventilation.Inserting the optical drives was very easy, though like another user here mentioned, once you remove the plastic it won't go back in so make sure you know what you're doing or you'll have a gaping hole in your tower and that doesn't look good at all.The hard drive was incredibly easy to place and hook up, there was plenty of room for more and I felt the layout was very simple.I might have preferred the power supply being closer to the top of the tower, but it wasn't that big a deal and I actually ended up loving the layout overall.The USB connections and such near the top are excellent, my old PC did not have that, nor could my old motherboard support it so I was very happy about it. Plus this tower glows a lovely blue and I liked that very much.I didn't buy this tower for the temperature reading, so I didn't even bother setting up that bit, but if you do care for that know that there are several ways to go about it.You can just stick the temperature part into the processing chassis, nothing else required. You can also use thermal tape to stick it in - not required though, but for some reason sticking tape to the processing chassis seems like a bad idea to me. You can also measure the temperature of other things like the hard drive which i would never think to do because well, I just wouldn't I suppose.Overall it's a tower, it does its job, there isn't much more to expect or consider. If you're incredibly picky about these things you could go another route as I've heard complaints about things like the temperature reading but to me I just wanted an easy to build budget case that I could play my games on that was available over Amazon Prime so it's serving my needs perfectly.Also to note, this case can fit a lot of motherboards, it had most types marked. If you're new to PC building, make sure to look up if your motherboard will fit your tower and stuff.

Not for Ryzen AMD4 boards without modifications.
I'm running a Ryzen 2600x :MSI x470. The motherboard would only fit once I cut the back fan by about 1/8th inch so the motherboard would fit. The lights on the side window were obnoxiously bright so I took a solder gun and removed then connection point to disable it. The case didn't have proper airflow until I changed the fan direction on one of the fans so I didn't have negative pressure. One of the lights on the front of the case flickers like it has a bad connection but I can not get to where it is to check it out without breaking the case more. The cut outs in the back where your video card and such go are very flimsy and not secure. This allows excess air into the case, and they can not be put back in once removed. All in all I am rather disappointed with this case, I'd love to return it for something with more room but due to the modifications on the back fan to get the motherboard to barely fit I will not be able to return this product. This was a replacement as my first one came with a cracked side window.

Awesome case for the buck!
Wow the case is really good. Looks way better in person than on photos. Comes with fans already installed. The only pain I had with this was all the fan wires that I had to manage to put somehow together at the back of the case connected molex to molex one another... But It was not a problem is just that it has so many cables from fans and the temperature lcd, etc. You need plenty of time to set this up really good. I enjoyed building my desktop with this case it looks nice, have plenty of features and all of that. Apevia have won my respect! Awesome Case! Love it!

Quality, features, etc. Worth every dime.
This computer was intended for business use, troubleshooting drives and for that reason I needed a way to hotswap storage (both 2.5 and 3.5in disks). This case came with a hotswap 3.5/2.5 slot! And I bought an additional one leaving me with 3 bays more to play with. I really like that the cheap price does not reflect on the quality. Truly this is the best case I e purchased. Plenty of working space inside was also a plus. The system has a thermometer lcd in front so there is no guessing if the computer is too warm. There is plenty of cooling: two fans on top, one in the back, and a huge one on the side (I removed due to the giant heatsink I put in). It does have an option to add a smaller fan near the bottom but it’s cool as is

PC Case
I wanna start off by saying this was bought for my fiance, because she wanted a pink case and there aren't many out there and this is the one she liked. It's a good, functional, mid tower case. For the price, you can't go wrong. Construction is solid. Color is good compared to the image, HOWEVER, the side panel, that looks like a bright pink, is not pink at all. It's red. But that's not the reason I only gave it 4 stars. The reason for the 4 stars is for the fans that were included. The fans themselves are good fans. BUT, they are molex connectors. As I'm sure of most pc builders out there, molex connectors are the devil. Now it really wasn't that big of a deal to me considering I replaced all the fans it came with with Corsair AF120mm Red LED fans, which in my opinion look a lot better in the case anyway.One last thing to consider with this case as well, and this is VERY important. If you have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler, you HAVE to remove the 200mm side fan. The panel WILL NOT go back on with the cooler installed. And seeing as how that particular CPU cooler is the #1 best seller on Amazon, I know a lot of people have one. So keep that in mind.All in all, it's still a really nice computer case. Hope this review helps.

The power button is a little hard to use
I bought this case for my daughter's first PC. She loves it! I was actually surprised to find out that it comes with a front side SATA HDD dock! The only issue I have with it is the power button. It's in the top half of the circle in the front of the case, just above the temperature readout. You need to sometimes press it 3 or 4 times for it to actually activate the switch behind it. That's probably because of the weird half circle shape of the button.
