GAMDIAS ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer PC Case with Side Tempered Glass, 4X 120mm ARGB Case Fans and Sync with 5V RGB Motherboard

I purchased this case primarily for its aesthetic appeal and how it complements my setup, rather than its intended use. Additionally, I needed a case with a more accommodating interior layout to fit a new, larger video card that wouldn’t fit in my previous case.

The case has both advantages and drawbacks:

**Pros:**
– It features a sleek tempered glass panel, which adds a premium look to your build.
– At an excellent price point, it comes pre-installed with four fans, ensuring good airflow.
– The bottom ventilation for the PSU contributes to impressive airflow and cooling.

**Cons:**
– Unlike traditional cases with hinged doors, this one uses a glass panel, which may be less convenient for access.
– The fans, while not excessively loud, do produce some noise similar to older systems. Additionally, the case lacks an ARGB controller, so color changes are limited to a small button located near the power button.
– There is no included documentation, which might be challenging for beginners. However, all necessary screws, spacers, and zip ties are neatly stored at the back of the case with the cables.

**Update:** I discovered that the manufacturer provides documentation on their website: [Gamdias User Manual](https://www.gamdias.com/User_Manuals/Gaming_Component/Gaming_Case/AURA_GC1.pdf). For first-time builders like myself, I highly recommend watching the YouTube video titled “How To Build A PC, the last guide you will ever need! (2024 Update)” by Linus Tech Tips. It’s a bit lengthy but extremely informative and features multiple hosts, making it engaging and thorough.

Overall, this case offers good value and performance, though it’s essential to be prepared for some minor inconveniences.

If you are building a pc from the early 2000’s then this would be a great case for a modern look, customer service sucks, cheap fans that stopped working within a yr. Hard to build in as when you get all the wires where they need to be the back is humped out and hard to get the back to stay closed. when i was looking at cases i looked at all the spec’s to make sure everything would fit at that time it said it would support up to a 260mm AIO and GPU so i got a 240mm Aio it wouldn’t fit, also the 3060 12gb GPU i wouldn’t fit i had to move the middle fan to the top and cut out a slot for the GPU to fit into. when i contacted them about the issues they said they would refund my money but it would cost me 60USD to ship it back to them, keep in mind the case when i got it was 45USD. now that the fans stopped working less then a yr later that they only have a 2 1/2 week warranty. so to try to help some ppl out just get a different case this isn’t going to make you happy at all unless you are building it for a mini mini pc. An ATX motherboard touches the top and bottom of the inside case and an inch from touching from side to side. i would give this a -5 star

Purchased this to go with a micro-ATX motherboard. The mobo fits fine but could not install a 2-fan radiator cooler as the power button / USB assembly at the top of the case extends too far to fit the radiator.

Pros: Good looking design, comes with 4 – 120 RGB fans that appear well-made, very lightweight, glass panel looks good.

Cons: Thin metal (it holds but be careful installing screws, won’t fit anything more than a single-fan radiator (may be able to in the front to replace the fans), the front cover is NOT removable, and my biggest critique is the fan cables. They are all daisy-chained and the ONLY way to get them all running to connect the daisy chain to a SATA port!!! Never saw anything like that. In other words, after connecting all the fans on the daisy chain there is only two connectors left – one is a 4-pin WITH PINS (meaning, you cannot connect them anywhere on the motherboard!) and the other connector is to a SATA power cable, so there’s no way to control the fans…they just turn on and run! Again, never saw anything like that.
As of now I will continue to use this case but I will have to purchase different fans. You can connect each fan to a separate System Fan motherboard plug but you WILL NEED at least four 4-pin plugs on your motherboard – NOT COUNTING THE 4-pins you need for any other fan/CPU cooler.
For the price (and it came with a Thermaltake PSU) it’s hard to beat. But, you get what you pay for.
Overall, an “OK” case for a basic build.

Très beau boîtier! 4 ventilateurs dont possibilité de déplacer celui de derrière pour le mettre en haut si problème d’espace par rapport à la carte mère, facile à monter, assez de place pour un moyen boîtier car bien conçu et les câbles se rangent très bien sur l’autre côté du boitier.
Utilisé avec :
– carte mère B550 Gaming Plus,
– processeur Ryzen 5 5600 (ventilateur AMD inclu),
-carte graphique GTX 1650,
– SSD Fanxiang 512go
– alimentation Corsair,
– Ram Corsair vengeance LPX 2x8go,
Montage et installation faite avec windows 11 préparé à l’avance sur une clé, en 5 à 6 heures sans être des profs 😉
Voilà pour notre configuration choisie, si jamais ça peut aider…

I really can’t complain much. The case is a bit small but I prefer it that way next to my TV Stand. It gets plenty of air flow and the argb lights look great.
