TacensINITIOX, ATX PC Case, 12cm Side Fan, Brushed Aluminum Front Panel, Mid Tower, Internal Cable Management System, USB 3.0, Black

Heavy, but good

I recently purchased the FERROX Quick Box from Tacens for lightweight build for my computer setup, and overall, I'm quite pleased with the product. Here's my detailed review:Design and Construction:This Quick Build PC Tower Box boasts a lightweight design that makes it easy to transport and manoeuvre. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed some minor design flaws in certain sections. Despite this, the construction is sturdy enough to support my components without any major issues.Assembly Experience:During assembly, I encountered some tight sections that required a bit of extra effort to fit components properly. However, with some patience and skill, I was able to overcome these challenges and complete the build successfully. For less experienced users, it may be worth considering spending a bit more to upgrade to a different model to avoid these issues.Value for Money:One of the standout features of this ferrox tower is its affordability. At its price point, it offers excellent value for money, providing a functional housing for electronic components without breaking the bank. While there are some minor flaws, they are manageable considering the overall cost-effectiveness of the product.Overall Rating:I would award this product with a solid 4 stars. Despite its external defects and slight construction compatibility issues, it delivers on its promise of providing a budget-friendly solution for housing electronic components. With a few improvements, such as addressing the design flaws and providing clearer assembly instructions, it could easily earn a higher rating.Recommendation:For anyone considering purchasing this box I would advise being aware of its minor flaws and considering your own level of assembly expertise. If you're comfortable with making slight adjustments during assembly, this product offers great value. However, if you prefer a more seamless building experience, it may be worth investing a bit more for a different model.In conclusion, this lightweight build is a commendable product that offers affordability and functionality, despite its minor shortcomings. With some improvements, it has the potential to become an even more attractive option for budget-conscious consumers.I would like to offer a suggestion to enhance the product description of the Tacens -Ferrox /model 2 .Adding a picture of the rear tower box section would significantly improve the clarity and completeness of the product listing. Other option like adding 360 Product View option could benefit the sales if consider the consent reviewing it as an option to improve by.Including this visual detail will allow potential buyers to better understand the design and features of the product, aiding them in making informed purchasing decisions. It provides transparency and reassurance about the product's compatibility with their components and setup.Thank you for considering this suggestion. I believe it will contribute to a more comprehensive and compelling product listing, ultimately benefiting both the seller and potential customers.

didn't realise it would be this small, used to atx

The case description is misleading. The front panel is plastic and not made from brushed aluminium. The rest of the case is made from thin, light weight pressed metal that's very weak. The motherboard fixing posts are also weak and of poor quality. One of the posts came loose when installing the board. I gave up and returned the product for a refund..

Case is not expensive but your time is so the design of any pc case has to help the build be as quick and as "efficient" as possible and once complete you do need the pc to run with sufficient heat dispersion to not overheat. I was transferring my pcs nuts and bolts from a smaller case to this due the original pc case being ultimately too cramped and having a tendency to overheat, not something I like doing.1 - this case came with no instructions, in itself not normally an issue but it said in the details on Amazon its aupports upto 8 HDD. There was only part of the inside marked HDD, next to the optical disk bay. Had 1-8 numbers that suggested HDD bays but very unclear how to use them. This is primarily where a guide would have helped but eventually I realised that the front cover can be levered off providing access to the bays. Issues are that using the pre allocated HDD drive the disk protrudes across one of my motherboards memory slots, luckily not in use but still pain. With the now exposed 8 X HDD bays I could not align any of the screw holes on the case with my hdd, ultimately I gave up and simply attached my 2nd HDD acrossall the bays screw slots horizontally. It looks like there should have been a plate provided to attach directly to the hard disk to then attach to slots on bays 1-8 but again if I had been able to use the bays the HDD would have extended over my main board and led to further issues.2 the case is quite thin metal which meant when realigning the motherboard support spacers, by taking the ones supplied with the case that are in situ out is tricky as it is very easy to bend the case panel they are screwed into. I don't have a 'tool' to do this, I use pliers which are too unforgiving for this case.3 the removable slot cover for the pci express card on the case required bending to break off, the covers were still connected to each other which wasn't great, again this added time to what is normally a very quick task.4 attaching the cables to the odd and hdd after they have installed in their slots is ultra fiddly as they protrude close to the rear of my power supply, took me minutes not seconds to do thiswhich was somewhat frustrating.5 the case seems designed for sdd not hdd disks as the sdd install points are easy to spot and use, as mentioned hdd bays are fit for purpose other than the one hdd marked slot.6 comes with a fan installed on the case side panel which is unusual as you will need to be careful putting that panel on and off the case due to the power connection. also if you do prise off the front panel remember it also has connections within it so it cant be 'removed' as such.7 has one slot for a small fan on the main case which i have used.8 being able to put the wiring from the front panel connectors to the back of the case, under the motherboard works fine, albeit i note others have said the usb3 connector cable is short i have a small extension cable, also converts to a usb2 connector that i use and this wasnt an issue.overall the case is thin metal but that was expected, just be careful moving motherboard spacers, the hdd and odd connectors are ultra fiddly to connect due to lack of space, the additional hdd bays didnt work for me, the front panel can be prised open but remember it is still connected to the wires going to the motherboard so dont grab it and try to remove it. net net it took me far too much time to use this case and its design is not great so i wouldnt buy it again but the problem with any and all pc cases is that until you get your hands on them and do a build you really dont know what to expect so for the price it was o.k from my perspective to take the risk. i dont buy into you 'get what you pay for' because the problem with case is not really the thin metail it is the design and there are cheap cases that will be better designed than this, the problem is finding them.

There nice cases only thing wrong with it there not a lot of space for hard drives

Sturdy material, easy assemble

Not great... When you place a GPU card, the case panel fan is too thick so you can't close the case without removing the fan. Would be okay with a low profile card.
