Question Anybody ever build in a Mechanic Master case? (C28)

[Joe_182]

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has ever built in this case before? The Mechanic Master C28. First impressions are high, it seems really well built and well thought out. With the exception of having a million screws to take the panels off.

I am wondering about thermals mostly? I don't think I will be able to fit fans on the bottom under the GPU like I had intended.

4070 Super TUF with potentiall an upgrade to an RTX 5080 if I can get one. (Not worried about CPU temps, I have a 12400 and a 240 AIO)

I've seen an air cooled build w/this case. The location of the PSU I'd imagine limits the airflow through the front fan of a dual-tower cooler.
But the Mechanic Master c28 case I was looking at had a carrying handle:

Yeah, I have the handle, just didn't attach it.

Yeah, you are limited to 1 92mm fan in the front at the bottom. The top has the PSU with the fan sucking air in I believe. So you mostly have 3 exhaust, 2 top and 1 back. And then your GPU intake from the bottom.

Might be totally fine like that, but I wasn't sure. The NR200P is very similar in design.

Mechanic Master is called "Screw Master" in China. Installing components in such a case needs massive screw installing.

Yeah, I mentioned that in my initial post as a con. Once my PC is built, there isn't much reason to take it apart, so it's not a big deal. GPU and CPU swaps can be done from just removing the glass.

For thermal, don't worry, it won't be a heat resistor.
If you like it, then buy it. Remember not to frequently move the case using its handle, its handle is not reliable.
