   It’s my first high-end PC build and I should say that this product is all what I needed, I recommend buying an small factor ‘CPU fan plus heatsink’ (I bought one from Noctua that comes with a cool brand-plate), it will help with air ventilation and you’ll get full synergy with the rear stock fan, I would like to add that I bought a 3-way splitter cable just in case I wanted to add the side fan but then realized that I already got plenty of them (1 from CPU, 2 from GPU, 2 from stock, 1 from Power supply), also it was a bit tricky to install my GTX970 to my Micro ATX because of its size and to the power supply because since it goes far into the drive bay (but some inches before touching the front fan) it’s difficult to fit the 6 pin and 8 pin power adapter, finally I’ll add that after the build was done and running the front usb 2.0 ports didn’t work for me (maybe I just messed it up at some point) but the usb 3.0 worked perfectly fine and those are the only ones that I’m gonna use.

   I hope this help other customers since I was hesitant to which parts to a buy.

   I have owned a computer maintenance and repair business for nearly 20 years, and while most of our work over the past few years has evolved into corporate contract work, we still have occasions every so often to supply new systems to some of our clients. I have used the VIVO cases almost exclusively for the last couple years (the V02 and the V01 primarily). For an inexpensive case, these are very well constructed. They are lightweight, but everything mounts very solidly. We have used a wide range of motherboards, power supplies, video cards, etc, and have never had any problems with fit or alignment. And with the design of the internal brackets and drive rails, efficient cable management is easy to do to create a tidy looking end result (I have been told my cable management borders on OCD!). Included is a packet of plenty of different mounting screws (all black as well) for mobo, drives, etc. I have seen a couple previous comments on the different screw sizes being difficult to differentiate, and I suppose for a novice that might be the case, but having built well over 500 systems in the past 20 years, I haven’t had any issues with potentially attempting to use the wrong screw in the wrong place. The solid black cases look very stylish and smart when finished, and the blue LED fan glow gives just a bit of a “coolness” highlight to modernize the look, even for most of our systems that end up in an office environment. (I have only had 1 client that wanted the lighted fans taken out). Overall, I am very well pleased with the VIVO line and certainly plan on continuing to use them for our custom built systems.

   Solid case for 38$, November 5, 2016

   for 38$ it’s decent enough to suit me. The pluses are the price and a fairly sturdy construction. Also there’s 2 front usb 2.0 and 2 fron usb 3.0 ports as well as a SD and microSD card reader. The reader will read either slot at a time but not both and if you’re not careful (as i found out) you can miss the slot for the microsd card and lose it inside the case. That’s inconvenient (it sure was) but not a disaster. The reader doesn’t auto unmount when removed so the caveat is to unmount it from the file manager before removing it otherwise a power off is necessary. Cabling was a bit tricky but i think i have it worked out about as good as it’ll get. It has a couple of spots for a 2 1/2 inch hdd/ssd. I used one for them for the ssd but used a caddy i had for the other to fit in the 3 1/2 inch hdd slot. There’s no reset button though on the case. Just power on and off button. i hate the blue glowy things so i have the computer facing sideways with the monitor out in front so i don’t have to look at the blue lights. It’s pretty sturdy, more so than i’d expected. The one caveat about the screws for the motherboard that come with it is that they aren’t the screws you’d expect the ones that fit the risers for the motherboard look like something you’d use to secure a dvd drive to a case. they are round with a slight lip around them and are phillips only screws. The ones that look like 1/4″ hexnut heads on them as well as phillips are not the ones to secure the motherboard to the case. And as is always a plus, i didn’t break anything putting parts in it.

   I put in it a mATX motherboard ASRock A88M-G/3.1 which fits nicely
   and comes with type a and c usb 3.1 plus an m.2 ssd pcie x4 slot. are all very handy… one day..
