FSP CMT210 Computer Case Review

Posted July 28, 2017 by Josh Jackson in Cases & PSU

Overview

Hardware: Cases & PSU

Manufacturer: FSP Group

Price at time of Review: $59.99

WHAT WE LIKED:

Solid Build Quality for its Budget, Nice Room for its size, Legitimately Supports Liquid Cooling, Extremely Easy to build in due to Attention to Design Details

WHAT WE DISLIKED:

Potential vibration noise (depending on HDD) due to metal mounting screws against the metal HDD cage.

BOTTOM LINE:

No one should expect a budget case to be absolutely perfect, but the CMT210 is the closest to perfection I've ever come to in this bracket. What felt completely perfect was the entire build process, which is why this case should be first on your list if price is a concern.

Conclusion

Is it possible that I just found the perfect budget case? I’d have to say yes, but also clarify what perfect means to me. I’m not saying the case has exactly everything I ever dreamed, or that I couldn’t pick out some things that I felt could be improved. However, I can say that the case made me feel like every step of the building process was a pure pleasure. Sure, I’d prefer softer mounting pieces for HDDs and the spot welds on the VGA slot covers aren’t my favorite, but there was nothing the CMT210 did that bothered me and there were several little details that completely surprised me. FSP did an amazing job with this case mainly because it made building the PC easier!

The going price for this chassis is $59.99 on Amazon and Newegg, but the former has prime shipping which sweetens the deal a tad. Normally, that price would be a tad high for my taste, especially if I had any major issue during the build process. However, FSP did such an amazing job on every detail of this case that I think spending an extra $5-$10 is completely worth it. If you have a tight budget, put the extra money in graphics because this guy will be a great home for your build. With that, we are proud to award the FSP CMT210 the Pureoverclock Editor’s Choice Award and consider it a must have product in it’s bracket!

Needless to say I love computer hardware. With my reviews, I never forget what it's like trying to find parts on a tight budget and how excited I am about any new component I get my hands on. If there was a good effort in the design, then I'll find a reason why each component is great for someone!
