Cons:Passing the cables is a challenge; since the cable can be placed BEHIND the motherboard plane. They should have left MORE room in order to close the RIGHT SIDE panel.

Pros:Excellent design when considering the features.
Comment:
Excellent design when considering the features.Passing the cables is a challenge; since the cable can be placed BEHIND the motherboard plane. They should have left MORE room in order to close the RIGHT SIDE panel.It took me a while to figure out that the hard drives are connected via the BACK plane and not in front. By doing that the cables are hidden from view. Nice touch with 3 large fans. This is the first time I see ventillation holes at the bottom of the case, Good tinking there. You can control the speed of one fan.

Cons:- Threw a 212+ in the case and realized the side panel fan slot can no longer be used.

Pros:- Lots of cable management space behind mobo tray- Ample amounts of fan slots- Cable management holes- Beautiful contrasting paint finish, interior and exterior- Very well built, side panels are tough as bricks almost no flex to them- The overall simple design that FD has going for them
Comment:
I was unaware of my listed con prior to buying the case. But for $60 you can't go wrong with this beautiful mATX case. Ample air flow amongst other great features.

Fractal Design Arc High Performance Cases Arc Mini Black Computer Case
Cons:The thumb screws were a little tight, only one front usb 3.0 port, and it was crooked.

Pros:Good, solid case. Cable management space is good, the drive cages are solid, the fans are quiet, and it has filters.
Comment:
First PC build, first case. I took a chance based on reviews and photos of builds and I am very happy. The case far exceeded my expectations, even though I didn't have much to go off of. There is ample room for cable management. I used the cpu graphics so I can't comment on video card size support. Once you loosen the thumb screws to human tightness, the whole thing can come apart super easy. I love the removable hdd tray and the drive holders themselves. An SSD bolts right into hdd cages without any adapter. Overall, this case is very solid. I purchased it a month ago, and was only recently able to build the computer, so I missed a great price as well, but I am still really happy with the case. Highly recommended.

Fractal Design Arc High Performance Cases Arc Mini Black Computer Case
Cons:- Since it has dust filters, you WILL need high-static pressure fans (I'm running Scythe Gentle Typhoons)

Pros:- Excellent build quality for the price- Dust filters on top/bottom/front- OEM fans are reasonably good quality (decent static pressure, not noisy)- Cable management is very easy, drive caddies support both size drives- Supports 240 Rad in the top without any modding- Supports 120 Rad in the front with a little creativity or a 240 if you're willing to drill-out some rivets
Comment:
Arguably the *BEST* mATX case I've ever built. Drives fit well, watercooling setup was a breeze, cable management was a breeze, freebie fan-controller was nice, and I was actually able to re-use the OEM fans (usually I have to throw them away cuz they're too loud or crappy - e.g. the fans that came with my old CoolerMaster cases). No complaints at all!Currently running just a 240 rad on the top, but plan to mod the front to accommodate another 240 rad in the future.
