Empire Gaming – PC Gaming Case DarkRaw – Black Tower - Red LED 4 x 120 mm - Fan Controller - Tinted Transparent Side Panel – 1 x USB 3.0 and 2 x USB 2.0- ATX / mATX / mITX

The case arrived well packaged with no courier damage. All the hardware was there inside the case as normal to mount your PC components. The case looks great with the red fans and red accents and the fans are quiet and do push plenty of through the case.There only a few things I would change that aren't a deal breaker.1. The USB ports on the top io that light up red look cool but they stay on when my PC is powered off.2. The top io fan contoller switch for the case fans you have high speed or low speed and off which is weird maybe it sould be changed for a dial instead of a switch to make fan control more accurate.3. Theres no rubber gromits for the holes in the cable management system.4. The 3.5" hard drive cage in the basement should be made removable as its quite hard to mount a drive with the lack of space down there specially for me as i have big hands. And maybe if it was removable you can take it out all together for more cable management space or give the option to move it further forwards for more cable space.5. There was no anti vibration rubber gromits provided for mounting 3.5" mechanical drivers the screws were but not the gromits.But other than that its a great looking case and i'm very happy with it. Why pay £100 or £200 for a case when you've got everything here in this case some £100 or £200 cases might only come with 1 fan or none at all you get 4 with this one out the box and the option to buy more at a later date and the option to water cool to.

It’s a good pc case. Not more I can say.Well actually I can say and I will... The front “glass” doesn’t allow airflow through so what I did was pulled the panel off and unclipped the glass from the front and airflow is much better. I would change the fans at a later point but they’re good enough for moderate gamingCable management isn’t the best but you get what you pay for. I’ve managed my cables very well, as I have a cooler master master lite (rgb) and that has fine cables.Other than that, this case. Is a great buy.One other thing that people complain about is the way the fans are “controlled”, there is a small switch on top (see pic 2) that has a ‘low’ and ‘high’ airflow rate.

Overall an excellent product. Had a problem with one of the fans and was immediately partially refunded. No optical drive space. HDD and SSD took some fiddling to fit correctly

Hi,Nice looking case but I was unhappy that I could not fit my CD drive from my old case into the new case without destroying the top fan. I had to buy a new external CD player which now sits on top of the new case which is not idealMight not consider this type of case another time.Regards Richard Neave

this product is amazing. the cable management system is amazing. the lights on the fan are outstanding and you can dim them or switch them off.

YOU PEEL OFF THE CLOUDY STICKER ON THE SIDE PANEL! The panel is clear..I didn’t realise at first but it peels off...sick of seeing reviews about the side panel being cloudy..peel it off!!Just finished moving my stuff into the new case and looks great , Lights up well and looks nice with the side panel (Btw you need to remove the cover from the panel thats why it looks clouded up). Only con i have to say is the fans are more for show than cold air. Having to install new fans/cpu cooler but i knew when buying it from other reviews the fans would need replacing etc so i don't mind.So far :- Had to replace PSU- Had to replace CPU fan for way more powerful- Had to bypass fan controller and now fans run again- Had to take glass panel off the front to stop the PC melting- Had to install two more fans that actually pull heat out and put air in as the others are like 5% at max good at that- Had to replace SSD due to fan controller burning out and causing PC to sudden switch off and SSD needed repairs- Had to rip the HDD side part out just to fit my PSU, HDD slots in general are hard to get to.- No matter how you wire things the management is awful^^ Things i have had to replace/install since owning this so the £41 i spent turned into way over £100..i might aswell of just bought a more expensive case than a budget one with this many issues, if you're looking to buy this case then PLEASE PLEASE remove the front panel and upgrade the fans or your PC will run VERY HOT and be constantly starved of air and if you have stock fans and CPU cooler then good luck is all i'll say...and just to prove its not just me my mate purchased this case and the PC at idle due to literally no air flow his PC was running at 70+ degrees and CPU was hitting almost 85 degrees! few months later his CPU packed in and needed a bunch of new parts so don't think it wont happen to you because you never know..happened to me and i've owned multiple PCs for years and never had issues.Update:So after owning this case for rather a while i have updated opinions on it, So just to clear up some of the stuff i was asked.Does the case have good air flow?No, If you buy this case be prepared to replace fans or remove the front panel or your whole pc will be running very hot and if you have stock coolers then 100% dont use this case.What are the fans like that come with the case?Bad, You'll want to replace these fans as there just for show and generate literally no air.After owning this for over 3 months my PSU over heated and burnt out, I thought this was strange as I’ve owned multiple pcs and never had this before, I thought maybe I was unlucky and got another PSU and a few months later it died again, After taking it to a specialist they told me the PSU was overheating because the fans in the case are useless and the air flow is so low it starves the whole pc and makes it work a lot faster, Also you’ll notice on hot days the case will smell super bad because it’s so hot, I’ve finally switched case and not had a single problem with my psu then switched back to this to see.I advise anyone who buys this case and doesn’t intend to spend money on proper fans etc to look else where, This case will ruin your pc if you have stock coolers and the default case fans.Another update, just went to turn my fans to low via the controller and they just turned off and wouldn’t turn back on..just flickering lights and a burning smell then boom pc just short circuits and turns off and now SSD is needing repairs...so now have to figure out how to bypass the controller and run all 3 fans again, this case is not worth £41 at all, only good thing is that it looks good and doesn’t look budget but it’s poorly made and designed and I’m sick of parts failing quicker because of it.

NOT A GOOD CASE FOR AN ATX SIZED MOTHERBOARD!For micro/mini ATX's this case is fine.I really don't like the cable management in this case. The problems I have encountered:1. Had to remove the fan to install my motherboard2. My CPU cooler fan didn't fit because a screw from the case was blocking it (had to bend it)3. The CPU 8-pin connector had no over the top slot like a normal cases and had to slide it across which looks ugly.If you are using a small motherboard it's fine just not a full sized one.

Love the case design. Love the LED fans, completely silent. Well built and would give six stars if had the option!
