darkFlashDLM21 MESH Micro ATX Mini ITX Tower MicroATX Black Computer Case with Door Opening Tempered Glass Side Panel & Mesh Front Panel

This case has thoroughly impressed me. The primary draw for me was the magnetic tempered glass panel, as I love tinkering and making small improvements to cable management over time, so I was prepared to make sacrifices in other areas given the ideal nature of this single feature in my usage scenario.The case sacrifices surprisingly little elsewhere. It is engineered quite well, with excellent placement of cable management cutouts, ease-of-use features like slotted cutouts for fan screws, and plenty of airflow given the relatively open nature of the mesh version. I love the vertically-oriented SATA SSD mounts and the raised cable management cutout that complements them.Concessions are made in areas that are generally acceptable to me, like plastic heads on the tool-less panel screws and lack of a real dust filter. Perhaps the most disappointing feature to me is the plastic trim around the case's front panel, given that it doesn't quite match the metallic luster that the rest of the case has. I think it might actually look great on the white version of this case, as a flat black complements white metal quite nicely.Overall, I think this case is a great buy for the price, and I am extremely happy with mine. The build quality is similar to name-brand cases (I have used both Cooler Master and NZXT cases before, along with some lesser-known names) with price points close to this one that I have used in the past. However, this case's engineering gives it a leg up on those cases in my book.Important side note: you probably want the Mesh version of this case if your build will regularly be taxed in any meaningful way. The primary complaint I'm hearing from most owners (outside of occasional QC issues) is that the solid panel version has terrible airflow, and it's not hard to see why this is the case.

I upgraded to a Ryzen 9 3900X and my CPU is a little hot idling at 50 to 60 degrees in a Metallic Gear Neo case. I got this darkFlash DLM21 Mesh case because of the front mesh for good airflow. I was choosing between this and the Meshify C Mini and the magnetic easy open glass panel is the selling point for me. I like to clean my PC often and the magnetic easy open glass panel is very convenient when just blowing air or vacuuming the inside of the PC. For temperatures, my CPU dropped down to just around 40 degrees when idle, that's a huge 10 to 15 degrees drop from before, and that is with a Noctua NH-U12A cpu cooler.My only gripe with this case is that it has a 140mm fan mounts on the front panel, and I can fit in a 140mm fan on the top, but then another 140mm fan next to it just wouldn't align properly with the holes (using a 140mm Thernaltake Riing fan). I'm sure there may be other 140mm fans there that can fit properly on those mounting holes. So, that's minus one star.Overall, I'm still happy with my purchase, I have 2x 120mm fans on front, 2x 140mm on top, and 1x slim 120mm fan on the back. Temperatures are great, the easy open glass panel is excellent. Highly recommended.

The case I bought is the DLM21 black with mesh from panel. This case is fairly good for the price, but there are some things to be aware of before purchasing.The metal is on the thin side, making it easy to bend even by hand. This seems to be a common trait of cases in this price range so if this is a big issue for you, consider paying the extra money for a more sturdy case. Otherwise just be careful not to push on the more susceptible parts of the frame too hard, and don't over tighten screws.Although it can hold 2 of them, I would not recommend using 3.5 hard drives in this case. I put 2 in my build and wish I would've spent the extra money on another ssd. Removing the hdd cage would've freed up valuable space for cable management.The case also doesn't come with enough screws to mount every storage option. However, I was able to mount my 1 ssd and 2 hdd using the left over motherboard screws. So be aware of how many storage options you will have and how many screws you will need.This case does not come with fans. Considering you can buy the coolermaster masterbox for the same price and get 2 rgb fans along with it, this might be a deal breaker for some considering this is a case aimed at budget builders.Overall, I'm pleased with this case. There are too many little issues keeping it from being a case I'd blindly recommend but if you're fine with the shortcomings, and build with them in mind, this case will do you just fine.-------Lastly, I want to share my experience with ordering it since I noticed a common thread among reviews with damaged cases.The first case I ordered arrived on time, but had a minor dent on the top, and a more serious dent on the bottom that bent the frame causing it to wobble. The foot where the dent was located was also broken. I returned it and bought another one while my refund was being processed. A week passed since that case shipped and it never got any updates past the label being created so I contacted the seller. Darkflash was quick to respond and offer to either refund my money or send a replacement. I went with the replacement and got it about a week later after a minor delay while the model I wanted was restocked. The only issue with this case is a slight dent in the corner of the side panel, but it's hardly noticeable.

I was building a PC with my boys and wanted a case that would be easy to build in but feel a little nicer than a super cheap case. I stumbled across this and thought I would give it a try and man was I pleased. First, it will fit M-ATX and Mini ATX, although is is designed for the M-ATX factor. The case is sturdily built and cable management was a breeze, a lot more flexibility than I expected.The glass panel is hinged instead of being on standoffs which at this price point is a steal, but it is very sturdy and looks great (Gives of the NZXT H510 Look). I will say as with other comments, my case did come with some of the mounting clips on the front panel broken off. I quickly reached out to their customer service, and the very next day they sent out a replacement. I have received the new front panel and the PC is great! I highly recommend this case if you want a budget build that doesn't look like you bought the bare minimum!

The quality and look of the case feels like it should be worth more. It has a nice magnetic door to allow for easy access for upgrades down the line. The mesh front provided better airflow for the case in addition to the rear fan and 2 top fans if added. If you want good cooling for your computer build, then this is a better option than NZXT H500 or H210. It's also cheaper than those NZXT cases.The case came with a damaged circuit board for the I/O panel headphone jack, microphone jack, and 2x USB ports. However, after contacting the seller, they helped me a lot with sending me a new circuit board to replace the damaged one. Happy doing business and will gladly do business again.
