Mars Gaming MCM, MicroATX Compact PC Case, 16 Modes ARGB, Fan 8 cm, Black

I've got this case to swap the case and upgrade an old pc for my son. The case is compact, bear that in mind if you plan on getting this case and have long and lots psu cables will be tough to have any clearance. M-atx motherboard fitted well. I wouldn't try to put a 4slot ram motherboard as will leave no room for front fans at all and would be a struggle. I have added another 120mm front fan and keeps it really cool overall. I still have enough room for a 3.5 inch hdd wich will be added later. 2.5 inch ssd fitted just well. Build quality isn't the best as cheap plastic is used and the metal bits are a bit flimsy but you can't complain at this price point which balances price to quality ratio. Side window is plastic so don't expect tempered glass. I would mention that the rooting at the back of the panel was ok as my psu used cpu, motherboard, gpu cables and has 4 molex connections and 4 sata connections. Used zip ties to keep them together and everything is nicely rooted.I chosed this case for it's compact form and overall it ticked all my points.

The media could not be loaded. It is an awfull case to build in it has 2 cable holes but it's not thought out cause it gets blocked by th motherboard when u install it and because ther isn't enough space at the bottom the bottom Fans can't fit and it look dumb without that so I wasted 2 Fans and it is wayyy smaller than it shows in the pic it says dual chambered and it is in a way but there isn't enough space to say it is and when the case comes the screws for the tempered glass is kinda wired so u need the screw that they give you but dumb enough they put the screwdriver inside the tempered glass so how am I supposed to get the glass of is the screwdriver that takes the glass of is inside and I need it to get inside then I had to take the while back off to get the screws

Summary: Good value and very compact, beware of GPU size and be prepared to properly cable manage, not recommended for first time/new builders.The case is small, but that is a benefit for some and why I brought it. Obviously cheap materials but it is also cheap so you can't really moan.Cable management is challenging on a non-modular PSU but with some zip-ties and patience perfectly doable. On that note I wouldn't recommend this case if you have never built a PC before because of the internal space limitations, double and triple check your GPU dimensions to ensure it will actually fit... Or just get a bigger case.I replaced the stock case fans with some better ones with a simple control hub with remote control, for that extra 10-15% RGB performance bonus after downloading more ram.All in all can not fault it for the money, some non molex fans would be a welcome upgrade and is realistically expected in 2024.4/5

Look I am not saying this case is the best case out there. I'm not even saying it is particularly good to look at but at the time I bought it, it was the cheapest case I could find on Amazon.However don't let that put you off.I was after a budget build so this fitted the bill perfectly. It came with all you would expect in the way of screws and cables to connect to an ATX motherboard which is precisely what I did. I also added a small 80mm fan on the rear to plug into the chassis fan on the motherboard. The two LED fans on the front are decent and give good airflow.I had no issues with installation as everything fitted well. Only odd part was mounting the SSD's to the base of the case but not a real issue.also with a decent Perspex side you have to get your cabling tidy (which you can see I failed). I was using a 5600G processor with onboard graphics so didn't install a dedicated GPU. If I do it would have limitations to length as the case is small - there are some that would fit but I may have to change the case at that point. Also the tall cooler I chose didn't fit so a lower profile one will be needed - I went with the stock cooler in the end as I am not over clocking at this stage.overall a good starter case for the budget builder.

This is a very compact case, I’ve worked on bigger ITX cases than this! Photo shows it compared to an old Antec case as an example.You can use mATX boards but there’s very little room.Your graphics card choice though, that you need to be careful with. I went with a Costco 1660s that’s pretty small and low powered. Fits fine. But a 2070 I tried? No chance.The case itself is made of very thin metal, it’s super light and flexible. You push too hard it’s gonna bend. And these panel? It’s thin Perspex that will deform and crack easily if you are not careful.The front light bar looks quite nice and a button on the front gives a good selection of colour schemes. The 8cm fan is fixed rpm and fixed colour.Cable management is…. Not the best. There’s some space behind the board for flat cables but it’s limited.Bottom line is it’s a cheap case, really cheap. It looks ok but when you work on the case you know you are working on a cheap case. The finished product looks ok though. Three stars from me.
