I considering buying a Core V21 for a mATX build. Any positive or negative experiences with this case?

I used this once for a client's build, the only complaint I had was that its very cramped. I would suggest getting a modular power supply

I had my old rig in one and I'm currently using it for a NAS/Miner rig and it's pretty good but if you want to build an mATX PC for portability, then you shouldn't buy this because it's heavy as hell.

Any suggestions for a lighter one like the V21 under $50?

I'm using it and I don't have any problems with it. The only thing bothering me, is how to mount PSU xD 

That was the hardest part and I think I didn't do it right ... but in he end it still works lol

 

That 200mm fan in the front isn't exactly quiet for my ears, so I switched to be quiet fans. Almost dead silent and a lot of airflow.

Check my signature to see what I'm using if you are interested.

And about temps ... no problem here. Fresh air is getting pulled frm the front to the CPU cooler and the GPU itself, then I have 2 fans on the top to move the hot air from GPU out. It never goes beyond 78°C at max overclock, and I'm using max 50% fan speed on my GPU fans.

 

It's great case I can recommend it. Just that PSU installation ... after 30min of trying to figure it out, I just screwed in like I think it should be, and threw those mounting brackets for PSU back in the box xD
