Review MSI MEG Prospect 700R Case Review: Expensive excellence

[Admin]

MSI’s Prospect 700R packs a lot of features and configuration options. We paired it with Intel’s i7-14900K and Radeon’s RX 7900 GRE to test its thermal performance.

The price is actually why I ended up with the Dark Base 901 instead of this case. For $100 less BeQuiet offers more flexibility and while the screen is undoubtedly a relatively expensive add on just not worthwhile to me. I'm glad to see this case is as good as it seemed to be on paper (minus the screen weirdness) just the same though.

Which PSU is in that picture where it says: that shows the left section covers the PSU, but features a cut-out for modern PSUs that display useful metrics.

Nobody needs a big stupid case like this these days.

And the screen is just something a teenager might think looks cool but is pretty sad if you ask me.

The font and graphics are like something from the star ship enterprise.

MSI have their "Modern" line of monitors, they have nice subtle style to them, everything else they make it covered with dragons and RGB.

They actually need to make their other lines look more modern, their stuff is looking really dated as soon as it comes out. This case looks like it belongs ten years ago.

The front 3 fans preinstalled are 140mms, i have this case and run the thermals and Dcbs alot lower and cooler replacing with p14s its a cool haven. I believe the results to be incorrect seeing as 140mms push more air at lower rpms so bare that in mind when reading this it is expensive but i recieved mine at a discounted rate.

The screen is "gimmicky" but useful msi center does most of the work but custom wallpapers can be added and i have a weather gpu and cpu temp screen scroll through so useful for seeing how the temps are also included is a temp sensor plugged into the argb/fan hub also of use if used.

Again a big difference between 120mm and 140mms in noise and air flow (i also have 3 120mms installed on side, airflow is restricted on bottom side fan due to case cutout and filter)

Gone are the days of simply owning an item and not being subjected to intrusive, excessive, offensive data collection at the same time. As soon as i saw the MSI center icon on the LCD i was reminded of how much data they want from you if you run their software. It almost seemed to me that the software was built to collect data and not run your system. The type of data they want and from what sources you allow them to collect this from will make your head spin. I suggest you do not read their privacy policy as the first thing you will do is uninstall all their crap.

I own the MSI MAG Forge 100R

Came with 3-120 ARGB fans preinstalled. No need to attach to the MOBO as there is a switch on the front panel to change lighting.

I did not buy the case for the lights. The fans were a plus though. The build quality on all my MSI stuff has been remarkable to say the least.

My MSI gen 1 AMD AM4 B350 motherboard bought in 2016/2017 is still going. I cant believe. That was the first MSI product i bought, ever. It sadly had a whole glass of acidic orange juice get dumped down the top case fan opening while it was in operation. The fan made sure that the OJ that was poured into the case fan opening made its way into every crook and cranny.

I nearly had a heart attack. This was nearly a brand new system when the first gen ryzens came out. I shut the system off and tried to get as much of the OJ off where i could find it. It was a mess. I do not put drinks on my desk any more. Anywhere.

I fired it up and to my disbelief, it ran. And has done so for 12-16 hours a day since then. 8 years of operation now. That system is now delegated to second system not on, but when on, linux duty. I want to learn linux.

So, i bought a MSI 3060 12gb. NO issues. Bought another MSI B550 AM4 over 2024 xmas to upgrade main from R5 5500 to a R7 5800x.

That is when i got the MSI MAG Forge 100R case.

All their stuff has been very good to me so far. So i dont mind stickign with them.

Prior to 2017 i bought Asus and Gigabyte stuff. From 1997 to 2017 i used nothing but asus and gigabyte. Not one single system in that whole time lived longer than 3 years. Not one. Did not matter if it was asus or gigabyte. They all died in 2 to 3 years. Same usage pattern of min of 12 hours a day on.

So forgive me if i sing the praises of MSI.

One note, do not read their privacy policy if you plan on usign their software for the ARGB. Quite shocking that they could actually somehow affect your credit score just for wanting to use some ARGB lights.

MSI also wants access to what i write here. How they get that i am not sure but the provisions to get it, are built into the EULA for the ARGB lights on the MOBO.....IF you use MSI center.

Caveat Emptor.
