Pay no attention to the negs
Assembly was a bit tricky but other than that it was absolutely perfect in all aspects. Hole alignment was spot on. More than enough screws. VERY sturdy frame...at least 20 gauge. Fits ATX and smaller. Fits industry standard power supplies. Will fit ANY PCIe graphics card regardless of size. I read the negatives and had to laugh! There's 2 kinds of screws included. Machine screws and "self-tapping". If you run the latter into a threaded hole, you've just "stripped" the hole. Conversely, if you try to run a machine screw into a hole that isn't threaded, you'll mangle the threads on the screw. Also, if your MB's I/O plate seems to be "opposite" of the cavity provided for it, You've got the backplate on backwards! If you know what you're doing, you'll have no problem. For the price, I give it 5 stars.

Sturdy and Easy to Assemble – Perfect for My Home Arcade Build!
I used the ALAMENGDA AL02 DIY Gaming Computer Open Air Case for my home arcade build, and it has been a great choice. What I love: Sturdy Construction: The frame is solid, providing a strong foundation for my components. Even with all the hardware and wiring, it feels incredibly stable. Easy Assembly: All the parts fit together perfectly with no issues. The design is straightforward, and I didn’t have any trouble putting it together. Great Functionality. Great for Custom Builds: The open-air case is ideal for a custom arcade setup, giving me plenty of space for components while keeping everything easily accessible. Clean Look: The sleek, open-air design not only looks cool but also helps with airflow, keeping everything running smoothly during extended gaming sessions. If you're building a custom arcade or gaming PC, I highly recommend this case. It's sturdy, fits together well, and provides an excellent platform for your components.

Open Air PC Chassis - Needs Feet!
Perfect for an "open air PC" or a "Test Bench". I decided to buy some Hi-Fi component feet from Ebay for $8 as this open chassis does NOT come with feet. It would be nice if the metal was a bit thicker, but still not bad at this price point. I used M5 x 12mm flat head screws and had to countersink the screw heads as shown. I bought a used Asus ROG Strix B-550 F motherboard and installed several used components to create an open air PC "Steam Box" for the living room. Stripped down Win 11 Pro running Atlas OS on an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D with 32GB of DDR4. Now to save up for a better video card.

It’s a very good open air test bench case.
It can work as a ATX open air case or a micro ATX open air case very well, but in my case, it will be used as an ATX case It’s also very sturdy it’s easy to mount parts in It looks exactly as described Functions as a very good test bench for testing parts. It’s very compatible as well for most pc parts. And everything that is in it, will fit in very well.

Perfect for Testing PC Components
This open chassis PC test bench rack is awesome, perfect for anyone testing computer peripherals, components or motherboards. I'm an old skool PC guy and needed some way to quickly test all my old video and sound cards that have been sitting in storage for years and this open test rack fit the bill perfectly. It came with plenty of standoffs though a bit of care should be taken when installing them as the rack appears to be powder coated or at least painted so chasing the threads with a tap first would be good if you have the available tools. If not, no big deal, just be careful not to cross thread the standoffs. I really didn't have any issues so maybe I'm overthinking it. Once assembled with a motherboard and power supply all I could say was "WOW! Why didn't I get one of these years ago?" it makes life SOOOOO much easier. If you work on PC's and want a test platform you really can't beat this especially for the price. Yes, it's not as fancy as some of the high end designer test frames but for I think I actually like the look of this better especially for retro PC stuff. Just get one already you won't be sorry it's money well spent.

Minimalist, inexpensive, & near perfect.
Incredible value, and works great with very quick setup. It will lack structural rigidity until there are both a PSU and at least one PCIe accessory installed. But otherwise, it looks great- very minimalist, so the mobo, CPU cooler, and GPU are the main attraction- as they should be on a test bench! Airflow is open, so do not expect high air refresh rates, as there is no forced induction/ventilation. That said, even if you are overclocking, this should be fine. Just be sure to ramp up fan speeds as needed, or switch to a water loop. That said- THERE IS NO SPACE ON THIS CASE FOR A H2O PUMP or RESERVOIR- so think carefully about your needs before using this case on a water build, and perhaps mount both the case and those accessories on a unifying board (either something fancy, or just a piece of plywood). But if air cooling suits you, this is a great size for displaying on a standing desk & having easy access to swap out parts for rapid testing & improvement!

Decent test bench with confusing instructions and some fit issues
I purchased this to create a test bench and have some points to highlight about it. First, I think the quality is decent. The pieces feel genuine and it doesn’t feel like it will fall apart in a few months. The included accessories like screws and standoffs also feel good enough. The test bench has a small footprint, probably more similar to some mini-ITX cases. The power button might also be the most basic button I have ever seen. The entire case looks like a test bench, nothing fancy. Some of the issues I noticed weren’t too bad but were at least worth noting. The case doesn’t really support anything except for full size ATX motherboards as far as I see. The PSU mount does not fit any size PSU (see picture) that I own. The instructions are also hard to follow, but the video on the listing is helpful. I think it’s fine for the price. There is nothing flashy about it, but it served my purpose well and would recommend.

Passt. Gute Qualität.
Bietet noch gerade eben so ausreichend Platz für die Komponenten meines Retro-Rechners. Die WaKü passte nur noch mit DIY-Erweiterung an das System. Aber Bohrung, Abstände etc. alles maßhaltig. Bietet als Halbgehäuse noch ausreichend Stabilität. Gutes, einfaches und kostengünstiges Produkt.

You want a affordable decent testbench. This is it.
Sturdy material. Is in black painted steel. One you set the screw tight, it is very stable. Al componets are good reachable. I mount also a harddisk. This give a humming sound. Underneat i attach 4 solid rubber feet. Noise gone! Underneat you can see the SSD.

Insane value, works well enough for the price.
Does what it says, though annoying that there is no spot on the back to slot the power button into. Surprisingly solid, amazing for building custom cases without the headaches associated with ATX.
