Color:Red Apevia X-Pioneer case is designed with economy in mind while still appealing to a more modern taste. Simple yet elegant is the design philosophy, with a sleek finish on the front and inside, and a half sized door to keep your drives protected. Few bells-and-whistles are included for those who want something nice, functional, versatile, and affordable. This chassis comes with two USB 3.0 ports and HD audio sound ports. Uses screwless drive mounting and has a bottom power supply mount. Comes with one 120 mm fan in the front with spots for up to six fans total. Also has an option for water cooling. Comes in five colors: blue, green, pink, red, and white.

Occasionally Frustrating, but a Good Tower
First I’ll give you the good things about this case. It’s one of the few pink towers, and nearly all the pink towers I can find are made by Apevia. In fact, when I built my PC in 2019, it was the only one that would fit my build. It’s good for the price, and I didn’t struggle with cable management. Both of the tower’s walls are removable panels.My major gripe is how much negative space I had in my build using this tower, because it accumulates dust like nobody’s business. In my photos, you can tell that I have a lot of room leftover. If that side’s panel was entirely acrylic or tempered glass I’d just stick something there to decorate with (a rubber duck maybe?) but since the panel is mostly sheet metal with a little red acrylic window it’s not worth it.My next complaint is the intake fan. It is located between some metal scaffolding for your drives and the front of the tower, which is some honeycomb cut metal. In order to change the fan (the fan started to lose its RPMs about 20 months after first building the PC) you have to pop the plastic front of the tower off. If you don’t want to disconnect all the ports in the front of the PC (like the USBs), then you’ll have to stick your head under the plastic front like it’s a dog door. And because the fan (my replacement is glowing red in the photos, so you can see it’s placement) is shoved between scaffolding and the metal front, you can barely position it. It took me an hour to screw it in because I couldn’t get it to sit flush against the honeycomb area since I could only use my fingers. So far I have the one intake fan and then the coolant fan and the fan on the power source and I’ve never overheated. I would have gotten some cool rgb fans and led strips but this case doesn’t really show off internals.And invest in dust filters! There are so many openings to this case (such as the front and the bottom) that aren’t filtered. Consider buying magnetic filters for this case. Especially for the front.It is pinker in real life! My photos are taken at night with a buttery ring light which betrays the coloring. The plastic is a nice light pink and the metal is just a little paler.

Good cheap pc case!
This is a nice pc case for the price! It comes with a free 120mm fan and is has space for a atx motherboard and a optical drive. The metal is good but the plastic on the front panel makes it feel kinda cheap but is makes for good airflow. The panels can be annoying to put on especially the back panel when you store cables behind it. I love the hard drive setup. Once you have the mechanism figured out, then it becomes very easy to use, although I couldnt plug the sata cables with the hard drive ports facing outward so i had to flip the hard drive around to make it fit which made it only a bit harder to install. This is only with 3.5 inch slots.Motherboard installation was easy same with graphics card. The power supply was also pretty easy.Edit 8-24-20: I have had the optical drive installed and another fan on the back and have had no problems. One thing I wish this case had was a bit more space in the back.

Decent Case for the price
Got this case for an older DDR3 AMD 8350 rebuild and it fit all my parts well even a gtx 1060 card. I banged ym knuckles a few times and the cable management cutouts should be examined for atx build in a smaller style case most were not in a position to be really helpful for routing cables, Nice case with its plasic bezel. The optical drive door could use better hinges seems a touch flimsy but again this is a lower priced case so I wasnt expecting it to be drop dead amazing and it looks good would have preferred a couple more of the blue LED flans they included trying to find a match was tough my biggest concern was trying to get the fans and Captain Cool radiator installed the fans had to be mounted to the top of the case outside the case so the fan would fit inside the dimpling or vent holes were not conducive to getting the fans with radiator mounted inside so 4 stars for what amounts to a easy to use case but lacks adavanced features you would find in higher dollar skus I will say this it came with USB 3 Internal cables

Arrived bent
I haven't used or even fully unpacked the chassis yet, but already the front pannel appears to be not fully snapped together. It's not that it's cheap and broke as soon as I touched it, it just came like this in the box and refuses to stay together. The entire rest of the chassis appears perfect, but I'm scared to get it set up for fear that this might lead to issues in the future if left in this state.I'd really appreciate any troubleshooting if possible.

Good Value, Iffy Quality
Good case for the price point. Very roomy, even with a full ATX board and double-sized graphics card. Easy to add fans. My case appeared damaged at first, with the front cover separated from one corner, but it really had a poorly finished cover connector that came from the factory. I'm not that picky, but it's not perfect and so caveat emptor.

Great case, a little flimsy near the expansion slots ...
Great case, a little flimsy near the expansion slots when I was installing my I/O shield. -1 star because of clearance issues for rear exhaust fan, I am using a 120mm exhaust fan and it comes into contact with the edge of the blue side panel window and makes it impossible to get the side panel off. nothing a little Jerry rigging can't fix, but still something to consider.I fixed the side panel problem by attaching a zip tie to the side panel window so I can lift it ever so slightly to get clearance for that pesky fan.

Flimsy, But Okay for the Money
The case is kind of flimsy but Okay for the money.Missing motherboard standoffs and screws.Only one case fan, but has room for up to six fans in all.

Best budget case i have used
Very beautiful case right out of the box. Bought this case as a surprise for my girlfriend. Needless to say she enjoyed it a lot. Cable management is good and the length of this thing is longer than my full sized tower. Just not as tall. Good airflow throughout the case *installed two after market fans 120mm* they fit as they should and offered awesome cooling. Would definitely recommend.
