Great case for starting out
I used this case to build my first custom PC, and it honestly is great. The sides come off super easily, with grips on the back screws allowing you to take them off without a screwdriver. It's easy to access all the things you need, and it's built well enough that you don't feel worried about anything falling out or anything like that. Things can get a little cramped (especially since the cable management area isn't the most helpful, but it's better than nothing), but that's what you'd expect with a tower this size. There's a few other oddities, such as the back slots for PCI cards being a bit weird, and the SSD mount being literally sideways, but all in all, if you're staring out, this is an easy case to recommend.

Not bad computer case for the price
I wanted a smaller case for my home-made PC and selected this Vivo computer case. I was easily able to move the insides of my older homemade PC to this Vivo case with really no problems. There are slots for several internal hard drives & that's a plus since I use 2 hard drives internally. They already had a decent-sized cooling fan in the front end and all I had to do was connect it to the power supply and off I go. I installed 2 cooling fans on the side compartment door with no problems and does the job well enough. Oddity I noticed was for the rear cooling fan...my other cases used either medium or larger sized cooling fan, but this case had it set for a small cooling fan. It's really not a major issue since I have other cooling fans on the sides & front of this computer set up. The power button is very handy on the very top of the case and has a blue LED light in the button that comes on when the computer is turned on. Connections were easy and mounting the motherboard was fine, but I had to add a few more mounts since I had a larger ATX motherboard....but that went well. Minor issue involved installing the video/sound card and other card to the case....screws seemed off-centered. Another minor issue I took care of myself quickly. The case looks good, no issues with it, has 2 USB 2.0 ports & 1 USB 3.0 port up front; very nice. I installed a card reader/USB 2.0 device in the smaller former older floppy or semi-floppy drive slot easily...perfect fit. You have to add your own power supply unit [PSU] since this case does not come with one. Good sized case, easy to work with and really no major issues or things that really bother me with this case. It seems pretty well built and I gave this product a full 5 stars because it does the job well enough with no major issues.

Decent tower for a decent price
I'm normally very forgiving when it comes to reviewing products and always very honest. I can't be as forgiving with this case though. I'd love to love it but I just can't, it's only average, almost sub-par, at best. Here is what I think of the VIVO ATX Mid Tower: Quality: THIS is my number one gripe about this product. The quality of this is pretty sub standard. Like I mentioned, I would love to love it because it's big and spacious (which I'll discuss further down) but the whole tower is easily malleable. The side panels already have some bends to it showing little tiny gaps, which to me personally is a big pet peeve. I'm rather OCD about my computer builds and I just can't get by with the gaps on either side of the tower. I'm honestly going to replace this within about 5 months, for now it does the job just fine. The bottom is also bent inward a little bit as well. Due to this inward curvature at the bottom, the whole tower is no longer balanced. That's right, it wobbles side to side because only two diagonal corners are flush with a leveled surface. Really really really disappointing! I understand it's cheap, but there are similar priced towers that come with quality material ... this one really did short me out a little too much on the material quality. Space: Abundant amount of space! The right side of the tower (as you look at it) has just enough room to hid wires and such. I have a 750W PSU inside which is NOT modular so as you can imagine ... tons of wires thick and thin alike! I zip tied them strategically and managed to keep cable management under control. However, due note that if you bundle up wires too close together, it will form a bump in the side panel resulting in a visible gap (as mentioned above regarding quality). I love this space of this tower and don't think it can get any better! Ventilation: This is very important to me as I run a GTX 950 in here which can easily reach high temps. I'm thankful the tower included 3 additional intake/outtakes for fans because it allows owners to properly ventilate their system. No complaints here. Set up: the set up is wonderful. I like how the PSU sits at the top of the tower and not below because my motherboard requires a 4-pin at the top by the processor so it's easy to hide that particular wire. However if the PSU sat at the bottom, that whole wire will run across the entire motherboard because it isn't that long. I also appreciate the fact I can put in my SSD and HDD at once. They are at the bottom so they aren't as visible which is great because it adds to the aesthetics of the build. Overall, I am a little indifferent about this product. I don't think it's wonderful but at the same time it isn't too bad. I just wish the quality of the material was a little better because the malleability of this whole tower is definitely not the best.

Great Case but not for the older larger ATX Motherboards
Nice Mid Tower case BUT not for use with a full size ATX motherboard even though the description states ATX fits this unit. I found installing my Gigabyte ATX MOBO such a tight fit I worried the whole time while mounting the MOBO. Also only one DVD Rom fits (has three 5 1/2 bays) because if I installed more than one device it would hit the MOBO components. And weirdly enough standard SATA Hard Drives were impossible to install into the bays designed for them. Used a Hard Drive Rail and placed it in the 5 & 1/2 bay area :( Note: This is only going to be an issue if you're building a PC with an older full size ATX motherboard. With a smaller motherboard this would be an ideal GREAT case. On a positive note case is well thought out and nearly silent when turned on. All the necessary hardware was supplied for a complete installation. Would buy again for use with a smaller motherboard.

Seriously, you get what you pay for. Good.
Everything about it screams its price range. Nothing wrong with that, can't expect to get a lambo for the price of a Kia Rio. Things to note as 'as expected' for the price range... To complain about the material considering the price range would be a waste of breath. There is only one included fan. No complaint with it as it works, is blue, and I was told in the description that only one is included. For tower cases with a pretty small footprint like this one, it's no surprise that the one half of the fan side vent is more aimed for a slim 120mm fan. This is due to the fact that the power supply takes up the same area, so will not fit a regularly sized 120mm fan. Very little in the way of cable management... like most (if not all) cases in this price range. I mean, if you really wanted a budget case that had some idea of cable management, why are you looking at a $38 case when there's the CM HAF 912 (though that would cost you another $20 in amazon at the time of this writing). If there is a case in the $38 price range where the case gives decent room to hide cables and make everything look neat, let me know. PCI slot covers are not reusable, as expected. I find that it's pretty well-designed for a low-end case. It's quite small for a tower, like the Rosewill Redbone Black, yet my GPU can fit (imo) comfortably. Though I had to do some lateral-action to get a HD 5970 in it, I was well surprised and satisfied that it could still fit the gpu power cables and a 2.5 drive in the same area of the cage. It's basically a tight-fit, but it works and nothing dangerous to the components imo, like the power cables being bent too hard to fit. There's a CPU cutout, which is good. All-in-all this is one of my better case purchases at this price range. I wouldn't recommend it for those looking for a budget case for a server that will hold multiple hard drives. The layout isn't really for it, especially with the extra room laid out with the intent for a long GPU, instead of a regular hard drive cage. For a budget gaming case, especially if you're looking to buy really long GPUs released within the last 10 years because of cryptominers running up GPU prices, this case is considerable.

Like everyone says you get what you pay for...
I just needed a cheap case for a quick rebuild for a non PC enthusiast so I got this. I have gotten other cheap cases before but wow this thing was CHEAP! 2 rivits were broken on arrival and the front fans cord was wrapped up in the blades, and then other little problems with craftsmanship you would expect from cheap China stuff. The other issue I had is the HDD bay is a really really tight fit, I had to put 2 in there and I could barely get a hair between them if I tried. This worries me because the front fan that would normally suck air onto them is placed too high so it has ZERO air flow on them. Overall even at this price point I would recommend you skip this case, cheaply made at this point is expected but when it might cause drive failures for over heating that is just a bad product.

Perfect for the price!
Build Quality: Despite being thin, the materials used in the case's composition are sturdy and certainly don't look cheap. The panel is easy to remove, and while some reviews mention how easy it is the bend the thin metal, I would not consider that a knock on this case, considering its low price, and the fact that; With a little patience and care, the risk of bending the metal is eliminated. The Power button is TACTILE which is a very nice bonus I was not expecting. It has a very confident *CLICK* response when pressed. I/O: Decent front panel I/O for the price. 1 USB 3 and 2 USB, plus mic and speaker jacks and a handy RESET button. Nothing overly exciting, but once again it's not an expensive case. Size: On the smaller side for an ATX MOBO, My Asus B450M barely fit, but with a little patience once again, the cable management can be very clean, and the PSU being at the top of the case, is actually a handy placement for getting the cleanest cable management. My only knock on this case, is that the pre installed fan, while being good quality and fairly quiet, is clipped in rather than mounted with screws. This means that replacing it with another fan, would require that new fan to be exactly the same shape and dimensions as the pre installed fan, which in my case, it wasn't. There also aren't any screw holes as far as I can tell, to properly install a new fan in place of the pre existing one. All in All, worth every penny. If it was $10 more however, There would be ten or so better options on the market! Great product from V-I-V-O!

VIVO computer case
Really like this tower, very sturdy, nicely finished off and comes with a case fan in the front with blue lights which looks pretty neat. Lots of room. Only quibble I have is I would have like more slide in bays for 3.5 inch drives - there are two at the bottom but one space is in front of the fan so the drive sticks out a bit. Other than that, it is great.

Do not buy, horrible gaming PC case.
Horrible case. Very old fashioned and outdated design on the case. The case was shipped to me with the front case fan broken. I decided to replace the fan but then realized that besides the front panel space is terrible if you want to add new case fans as your CPU fan and GPU will get in the way. The only positive thing about this case is the two side panels as there's more room to work with but the case is extremely cheap made so you will feel as if you are bending your motherboard when pushing in ram and GPU and heatsink. Would have bought for 10$ not 50$

No problems at all.
Nice case, works great.

Great idea but not a good design
Arrived promptly. Well packaged, As described. BUT the foam "air filter" is only accessible for cleaning by popping off the front panel, removing the fan, straightening the bent sheet metal tabs securing the filter frame then removing the filter. This can only be done a few times before the metal tabs break off from metal fatigue. The filter appeared too dense for the fan's discharge pressure which would impede flow to much (I am in the HVAC profession). Great idea but not a good design. I removed the filter and will blow the dust off the CPU and other components the same way I did on my old tower. I have two standard 5 1/4" drives and one SSD. The drive bays are in front of the fan discharge which partially blocks the flow. I like the removable sides and the blue LED's on the fan are pretty cool.
