Sharkoon M25-W, a compact ATX case with 5.25" bays

Hardware Hub Cases / Chassis

Thinking about building a new PC and found a shop selling the Sharkoon M25-W, a rather nice ATX case with a few unique features:

  • 2x 5.25" bays
  • Buttons/USB ports on the front, not the top
  • Cheap

I'm just wondering if it is any good, since there are not any real reviews of it. I saw one in the flesh in a shop, it seems well made and sturdy. No sharp edges or wobbles. The airflow from the front is a little bit restricted by the mesh intakes, but I'm not going to running a high end GPU so it should be fine.

Any comments or similar cases to consider?

Whats your budget/ what are you looking for in the case?

  • Not too expensive
  • Not too large
  • 5.25" bays for a SATA bay and an optical drive
  • Quiet

Probably going to fit a Ryzen system, either 1700 OC or an 1800X, Radeon 550 GPU (it's a workstation) and SSDs for storage. ATX mobo for the extra PCIe slots.

The solid side panel will likely be quieter than the glass one, and I have yet to see a really nice RGB set up so I'm thinking of going that route.
