ASUS Prime AP201 33-Liter Micro ATX Black PC case with Tool-Free Side Panels and a Quasi-Filter mesh, with Support for 360 mm Coolers, Graphics Cards up to 338 mm Long, and Standard ATX PSUs

Gonna be bigger than you are expecting but still a 10/10 case in my opinion. Well built sturdy panels, extremely easy to build in and hide wires (if you want, it’s closed so who cares). Fit my 160mm psu, 360 aio, 340 mm 5070ti, and squeezed in two case fans in taking under the gpu. My temps at idle are low thirties, running bf6 maxed out 2k I haven’t went over 75 yet, but I know there are harder games out there, but this case does not lack airflow in any way.

I used this for my Micro ATX build and it may be the best product I've purchased all year. First of all, all the panels are removable - they all come off for easy access when building. They stay put when you need them to, but are fairly easy to take off by sliding and pulling. Second, I have to mention the cable management. This case provides incredible cable management options. There are holes, channels, and attachment points everywhere. It's really impressive how much they managed to fit in here, both in terms of structure and in terms of negative space. The air flow - wow. This entire case is like a giant mesh, but it's also extremely sturdy. It's a work of engineering genius. It puts every other case to shame. As my title mentions, the size is perfect if you're like me and had to build for a shelf with limited height. I actually struggled for days to find a case that would meet my height and width requirements, but this one was perfect. It does make up for it with a lot of depth, so if you have a shelf that doesn't have a ton of depth, you may have to turn the case sideways or choose something else. As compact as this case is though, there is plenty of room inside for whatever you need. It's a bit like that bag from Harry Potter, or the suitcase from Halloweentown. The power button is easy to find and press without looking. The audio jacks and front USB ports are also conveniently located on the front in a time when many cases are putting them on top (again, this was imperative for me with limited shelf height). Overall, this case was absolutely perfect in every way for me. I really can't believe how fortunate I was to find it.

This case is top tier for undersized builds. For a smaller-than-normal case, this thing fits almost anything you can. It is constructed of high quality materials, and fits as many fans / radiators as you could ever need. It's literally mesh everywhere, so airflow / pressure management is not a thing. Surprisingly, even though it's full of holes, dust is also not too big of an issue either. Only downside is storage - no real space for 3.5in drives, but who cares. This case slaps. As always, double check the dimensions of your parts before ordering, but THIS thing is awesome,

To start off this review, I do want to point out that I believe that I ordered the mesh version of the case but ended up getting tempered glass. The glass also came in without a plastic fingerprint cover and there were fingerprints all over the side. I can't say for certain if I ordered it used or not but it's likely that's the case given the box quality and the fingerprints. Other than my gripes about what I received, I do like the case a lot. The tool-less panels made building and modifying the pc easy for me as a first time builder. The quality is good too and the panels remained stiff despite me taking them off and placing them back on. The size is nice as well since I was able to fit a full atx psu while it's not too huge to he an eyesore. I like that it came with a fan so I only had to order a couple more. If you get the full size version, you don't need too many fans. Overall, great beginner case and looks amazing. If you're more fussy than I am, make sure to keep track of what you ordered and let Amazon know if it's incorrect. I'm fine with mine in the end.

I love this little case. Originally bought it for a secondary PC, but it became my main PC case when I upgraded and wanted something smaller. There's plenty of room for just about anything you would want to put inside. The description says it will take a 338mm length GPU, but the first on I used was an XFX Merc 319, which is slightly longer than that (340mm.) It fit with no problem while at the same time using a full ATX power supply and an air cooler, with 2 exhaust fans at the top. That's because the case allows you to adjust the placement of the PSU to either accommodate a larger GPU (move the power supply up) or a 360 mm radiator on the top (move power supply down.) Fitting both would be tricky with a full ATX power supply, but you could do it with an SFX. Just make sure you are using a modular PSU if you're going to go with a max length GPU. That's really a good idea anyway since with a case this size there isn't much space to hide a lot of extra cables. Building in this case is easy. Every panel comes off which makes it a breeze. About the only thing that could still be tricky is getting the CPU power in place if you're using an AIO and you install it and the motherboard before routing that cable. To be fair, it's the same way with most cases, so if you're used to PC building you know to run that cable first just in case. I went with the mesh version for airflow, and temperatures haven't been an issue at all, for CPU or GPU. My current setup has a much shorter GPU than before so I have a 360mm radiator installed at the top with the ATX PSU moved down enough to easily fit it. I have 2 fans pulling air in from the bottom. Depending on how thick your GPU is you may not need any fans at the bottom. I was concerned about not mounting any front fans for intake, but it has not been a problem. There is enough room to mount one fan in the front if you are using an SFX power supply and can move it down to the lowest position. Right now I have 4 fans pulling air out (3 on the AIO, one in the rear) and 2 at the bottom pulling air in. It may be better for dust purposes to move that rear exhaust fan to be a bottom intake, making the airflow more or less even, but as I said, I have not had any temperature issues so I'm not worried about it. Keep in mind, only the bottom has a dust filter, so if you have negative airflow like this you'll have to do a little more maintenance for the dust pulled in from the side. Or I guess you could buy some magnetic mesh for the side panel. One possible downside for some--there is no reset button. In the center of the front panel is the power button (which has a white LED when on), with two USB 3.0 ports to the right and USB-C, headphone and microphone on the left. If your PC hard freezes and you need to reset, you'll just have to long-press the power button, wait for it to turn off, then turn it back on. Finally, a word about looks. This is a simple case. It isn't flashy. Even if you use RGB components it isn't going to be very flashy if you go for the mesh version (although you CAN see the lighting through the mesh and it's kind of a cool effect.) It's meant to be minimalist and that's just what it is. As I write this, the white version (which is the one I went with) is $20 more than the black version (which was not the case when I bought mine.) With that price difference, I'd definitely go black for better value unless you really need the white to match something else.

I have done a few builds this size. 3.3l isn't a lot of space for a mATX build but I used a compact ATX PSU and it worked out well. My former favorite was the Q300L but I am over clear side panels. Mesh shows off the hardware when you turn on the lights. But it is a more subtle effect and if you want to go stealth, mesh works better. Also, the AP201 does a far better job of hiding the stuff you don't want to see. I like the front intake PSU idea. I think it is a better way of isolating PSU airflow from the rest of the PC and the PSU equally shares air intake space with the rest of the PC which seems to make sense. It is, after all, a component that generates as much waste heat as the CPU and GPU you are using it to power. It also helps the intake airflow from the bottom by sending hot air out the top of the case. One thing I noticed because I used it for a build to sell online is the fact it is quite a bit heavier than most small mATX or large ITX cases. By double in some cases. It is definitely twice as heavy as the Q300L, which means they use substantially heavier gauge steel than most cases in the sub- $100 category. It was about 50% heavier than a Zalman S2 TG, which has glass and is a rather tall mid-tower full ATX case that I would hardly call flimsy. I could feel the quality in the AP201 when I was doing the build. It is a rock solid case. As a plus, you have a proper USB-C front port with an E-type connector and 2 USB 3 ports that could theoretically support 10GBps. There are velcro cable ties in the back and lots of places to attach zip ties. They give you several zip ties and actually enough hardware to mount the maximum number of drives. Even the rubber grommets for the drive attachment hardware were of high quality silicone and had a neutral smell, similar to medical grade. I don't think you would get a case of better build quality for the price and most will be worse.

One of the best Micro-ATX case where I have built a PC, it has a good size, it feels good material, it has an excellent air intake, it combines it with fans of the same brand and it looks great. It has a good price and if you get it for less than $100, do not hesitate to buy it. I want to do a blank construction. I think it will be great.

One of my favorite computer cases. Well designed. Excellent air flow! Very clean looking. Has room for 240mm liquid cooler. Steel feels solid. Excellent cable hiding in case.
