MSI MAG FORGE 100R Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case (Black, 2x 120mm ARGB PWM Fan, 1x 120mm Fan, 1-6 ARGB Hub, Tempered Glass, MSI Center, ATX, mATX, mini-ITX)

This case is little as price and is small, being a compact case but is hero as performance and compatibility. The air flow is amazing and in the case you can fit almost any component, exceptions being largest graphic cards like their own Nvidia RTX MSI 5090. More than that, MSI is "treating" it's customers as usual, with materials of highest possible quality. It's a pleasure to build a PC in this case which is simple, looks good and feels well built. There are a few downsides, like the fans are not very good quality and there is little room at the side for cable management, HDD racks are flimsy and poor quality, but at this price point you can't ask for more than it offers. I looked for an ATX compact case and in my searches I came back again and again to this one. There are a few ATX cases what are couple of centimeters more compact than this one but they have severe issues with compatibility or performance. More than that, they are double or triple as price and look really bad. At the end I bought this one and I am pleased. I built a real performant PC in it, which passes flawlessly any stress and endurance test possible. One thing I would want more from this case: I am not a fan of RGB lights and I would be happier to have all panels from metal rather than tempered glass. I would be more pleased to know that inside the case the air flows cooler with 2 degrees because all panels are from metal than to look through side glass panel to see couple of RGB lights. That's why I suggest MSI to produce the variant with all panels from metal and non RGB fans. As I know, they are not producing it at the moment. I think that this case will be more elegant having 3 stock fans completely black than how it is now, with one fan black and two RGB-transparent-white fans.

I bought this case as it came with fans and a it’s a well known brand. And it looks good. I spent last evening moving my build into it and I’m so impressed. The first thing that stood out to me was the space for your cables. I’m not going to pretend I tidy the cables round the back and I didn’t have to force the back panel back on. I know a lot of you know what I mean. The case has lots of room on the inside and the case has a good quality feel about it. Not flimsy like many cases I’ve bought that are only a tenner less. The LED fans are pre installed on the ARGB controller. I have a fan controller but if you don’t make sure you have 3 fan header on your board. It’s only the RGB it controls. The colours are all strong and can be changed using the LED button in the top. I can’t use the software side of it but I like the choices you get. Air flow is very good. Which is both good and bad. The front panel let’s lots of air though but there is no filter. I would have liked the option as it does come with a filter for the top of the case. Lots of dust will get in. But a bit more cleaning for good air flow is fine by me. It’s not, but I’ve got the case now. There is a removable bay around the back of the case for an SSD or laptop HDD which is a nice touch. Meaning 3 SSDs and 2 HDD can be fitted in total. You can always put more in where there’s the previously mentioned spacious room in the back. Overall very happy.

I purchased this case to swap out my old Thermaltake view 27 case with a more 'modern' look. I was in the hunt for a smaller chassies so I can tuck the unit under my desk on the small compartment which described in my desk's instruction booklet as 'desktop shroud' which is way too small for most of the cases in the market. Pros: - It comes in with 2 ARGB 120mm fans as intake and 1 blackout fan for exust. For most of the builds just plug in and good to go. - Robust build for moving or tossing around (please don't) - Front mesh is fine enough to act as a dust filter, but I still got some filters installed. - Air intake is great, it is basically a see through design. - Good price with tempered glass, and the glass is slightly tinted so it got that 'expensive look'. - Plenty of spaces for fans, go crazy on fan layouts. I am currently running 3 intake fans at the front, 1* 120 fan exust at back, and one fan exust from top through AIO, its working great for me at the moment. Cons: - Very tight psu shroud, be careful when run cables, especially you are looking for getting cable extensions, as you will run out of gaps to cable management. I am running a NZXT C750 psu out of it and it leave me about 1.5 inch gap to route the cables. I guess anything larger than the C750 will be impossible to fit in the shroud (i.e. corsair rm650). - ARGB controller in the most inconvinent place, the PCB of this controller is basically naked and screwed to the case, so be very careful when installing plugs. and it require a lot of thoughts in cable management. - No lower shroud cutouts for GPU power cables. Although you can route the cables via side cutouts, but it is just as neat as other cases. If you are the same as me running a NZXT Kraken, good luck plugging the USB to mobo, it is a good and risky stretch.

I bought this MSI ARGB case for my new PC build. I am glad I chose this product as it has everything a Mid-Range budget PC builder need and can afford. It is priced at £59.99 at the time I bought and written this review. This case offers some nice to have features including anti-vibration material around the tempared glass windowed side panel. There is a magnetic dust filter on top which looks AMD feels like a good quality filter. It comes with 3 fans already installed. 2 fans are A-RGB and 1 non-RGB it's a shame that 1 fan is non RGB but I understand it's a budget case so can't expect too much. Case also comes with a 5v 3pin ARGB hub for connecting total 6 ARGB fans or ARGB strips. I have a Coolermaster SF360R ARGB fans and as it only occupy one ARGB header and works flawlessly with this case hub, I still have 3 ARGB headers available as I have ordered two ARGB strips and a ARGB fan to replace non-RGB fan at the back of the case. Please note I have MSI x470 gaming plus max motherboard which is 12V RGB so I cannot connect my case ARGB lights to use Mystic lights by MSI but I knew that when I bought this case as I wanted Addressable RGB lights for future proofing. Please do not try to connect ARGB lights to RGB header. ARGB are 5V 3pin headers and RGB are 12V 4pin. Difference between ARGB and RGB is that ARGB will give you Rainbow/Aura lights and you can address each LED but on the other hand RGB only has 7 colours to choose from and the whole fan or strip will only show one colour at a time hence not as attractive as ARGB. Air flow is quite good due to mesh front 3 included fans are quiet yet still manage to move substantial amount of air. Case can hold GPU up to 330mm, CPU cooler height max 165mm, PSU up to 160mm with 3.5 Hard Disk enclosure but if you don't need Hard Drive caddy then PSU can be up to 200mm. On front I have installed Coolermaster SF360R trio 120mm fans but I am sure 3 X 140mm fans would fit too. Also front IO panel has 1 ARGB control button (LED Switch), 2 X USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A connectors, 1 Mic in, 1 Headphone, 1 reset button and 1 power button. Cable routing is easy due to several cut outs in different locations. Case looks stylish and quality is decent but don't expect too much. I had high end cases before and I can tell you the material on high end cases is heavy and robust. I am very happy with this caseand I will definitely recommend this case for mid range budget builds!

Great value and super easy to build in with a full size atx board and a triple fan 5070

Case is really good for the money. Pros + Not too big or heavy + Glass isn't too tempered so you can actually see inside + Loads of cable management space + Cable management stuff like zipties supplied + Good airflow, keeps my system cool. + Ability to change the lighting colour by pressing a button on top of the case. + Fit my three drives inside (1hdd, 2ssd) + Doesn't look tacky or childish like some gaming cases do. Cons - fans are a little bit noisy sometimes but this can be altered in the boot menu. - had to glue those rubber spacers to protect the glass from touching the bare metal, as if you don't glue them whenever you take off the glass they'll roll off and under anything near by, never to be seen again...

Good quality build, seems quite tough and built to last, time will tell if that's the case (no pun intended). Would have been nice if a couple of drive bays, cd etc, were included. Fan lighting is cool, quite mesmerising, different colours and effects, looks like a time machine! Nice glass side panel, just need some illuminous jellyfish to watch inside lol. Very pleased with the case and no problems with installing the gear inside.

Very good and reliable motherboard. Used it for the past 6 months with a 9800X3D and I’m super happy with it. Works flawlessly and no issues.

Goede case houd je motherboard goed cool en voor de prijs is het een van de beste.

Wichtigste zu erst: mehr braucht man in der Regel nicht. - die Frontabdeckung ist sehr Luftdurchlässig - oberer Staubschutz mit Magnetstreifen befestigt und absolut sauber verarbeitet - 3 Lüfter verbaut (Lüfter hinten oben ohne LED aber bei dem Preis i.o.) -Platz für 3 weitere 120mm Lüfter oder 1x120mm und 2X140mm - Alternativ Platz für IO-Wasserkühlung in der oberen Abdeckung (Abmessungen eigener Hardware berücksichtigen) - Äußerst stabil für den Preis - sehr gutes Kabelmanagement für die Preisklasse - Wertigkeit Verarbeitung - arge-Switch eingebaut mit 6Anschlüssen entsprechend der maximalen Lüfterbestückung (CPU-Lüfter wird wie immer separat auf Mainboard angeschlossen) - keine scharfen Kanten - Geräuschpegel ist obwohl das Gehäuse sehr offen ist, durch die gute Belüftung und die damit verbundene niedrige Lüfterdrehzahl sehr gering Cons: - blenden Rückseite müssen für Pcie Geräte rausgebrochen werden. (Allerdings sind auch 2 Ersatzblenden dabei von daher fällt dieser Punkt kaum ins Gewicht) power-User die ständig wechselnde Geräte haben greifen sowieso zu einem anderen Case - ggf kann es zu einer erhöhten Staubbelastung im Gehäuse kommen da die Feontabdeckung sehr grobporig ist. Hierzu werde ich die Bewertung bei Zeit aktualisieren. Empfehlenswert wäre wahrscheinlich einen Überdruck im Gehäuse zu fahren. Alles in allem hat MSI hier ein absolutes Top-Produkt (für diese Preisklasse) rausgehauen. Wem die Optik zusagt kann hier bedenkenlos zugreifen

Ho preso questo case 2 anni e mezzo fa per comporre il mio nuovo PC da gaming, secondo me è uno dei migliori in circolazione, vediamo perché... 1. È spazioso quanto basta per infilarci dentro le più grosse (e belle) motherboard e GPU (ho una Radeon 6750xt a tripla ventola) 2. È letteralmente pieno di ventole (dalla foto vedete le 2 grosse sul frontale) che lo mantengono entro certi limiti di temperatura anche in piena estate, se usate componenti che scaldano molto (gaming dicevamo?) è una feature indispensabile 3. È tamarro quanto basta (guardate il video) con tutti quei colori impostabili dei led sulle ventolone, inoltre uno dei 2 lati è in vetro temperato e permette di vedere ulteriori tamarrie all' interno 4. Esteticamente è proprio bello bello, lo stemma msi spacca. È facilmente apribile dal lato di vetro e avete tutto lo spazio per metterci le mani! Sotto inoltre ha piedini di gomma. UNICO AVVISO: attenzione a quando togliete il vetro e lo rimontate, è temperato ma se cade fa una brutta fine. Vi consiglio di guardare foto e video, il prezzo sicuramente non è bassissimo ma la qualità di MSI è una garanzia! Se avete intenzione di farvi un bel desktop da gaming questo è il case che fa al caso vostro!

Pour upgrade mon pc je l ai trouvé super c’était se que je voulais je le kiffe et le recommande a bcp de personne
