Yeyian Mirage X

[Darksaber]

You may not have heard of Yeyian before, but the brand offers a full range of PC gaming products and is pushing to expand into new markets. The Mirage X case manages to offer design elements only found in competition that costs three times more, making this a unique choice at a refreshingly low price point.

y/A/w/N....

glass slats in the front, yea, that's REAL innovative, as is the circus puke controller & lots of fans....omg.....

can't wait to get me hands on this & break one or more, then the whole case will look like a total shiite pos, or worse, have to pay as much or more for a replacement slat than the whole case cost

Cases are getting so wide now that it\s time for 18cm fans. make it triple 540 or dual 360 18x2. What is this. 3 fans and empty bezels.
At those dimensions why can't it support a 480 rad or 420 on top as well.

I know it isn't for everyone, but I personally like the slate glass front. It really helps diffuse the light while still having decent airflow. Make a microATX version and lower the price and I'm interested.

Never seen those holes for helping with the expansion card screws, that's pretty clever.

I only looked on the pictures so far. Are there cables preventing the front to be removed? It seems those RGB cables will make building stuff in that case more complicated. I tend to remove case parts for less weight, easier access and easier build / rebuilding of the computer.

I removed that junk pcb also from my Fractal design Meshify 2 Case. Maybe there is, or there is not a very high amperage non replaceable fuse on that pcb.
Still the mounting, fusing, insulation is not to my standards!
Personally I will rather not buy any cases with case fans and those, seems like fan / RGB pcbs. The connectors look cheap, the pcb footprint is small to save money. Insulation from the mounting screws vs pcb is also a matter to question. There is also no mechanism to lock cables in position like e.g. every proper connection has. Or can be found in most modern cars for example.

"loose" cables around the rgb controller. No fixtation method or options for the cables. That pictures show it clearly. It's also obvious that the cables needs to be bend too much and therefore the positioning of the cable put through holes and mounting options is not really optimal.

The bend from the cable above the dark power 13 psu to the case bottom is not something i want to see in any case. The space between the 3.5" hdd case and the dark power 13 psu also implies too tight bend cables. Not something I like to see. AFAIK cables should have a minimum bend curve.

It's not the buillders fault. The Case does not give enough place and options to build it better.

This seems to be an entry Graphic cards. Usually you have 3 or 4 cables. I do expect for my next case a solution for the free AIR routing psu cable for the graphic card. Less force on the cables and connectors from the graphic card and to the power supply connector.

20 or 24 pin (wahtever) ATX PSU connector from the mainboard, seems USB 3? connectors are heavily bend from the mainboard to the back.
The bend radius of cables should be respected. It's my hardware which I bought and It's costly. I don't want to predamage or abuse cables because of lack of space from a case.

I wouldn't call a RTX 4080 an entry-level card. Nvidia's been using that single power cable for few years already, AMD uses the traditional PCIe cables.

No offence but ever since I'm on this site its like I'm yet to see a single post from you that wasn't trashing a case or so, I'm genuinely curious how would a case look like if you designed/developed it. 'Btw I'm yet to break any of my cases that had a glass part/side, ya know take care of your stuff and such + those slats look pretty thick so I doubt that they would break THAT easily.'

Personally I kind of like it tho my only concern is that dusting off those slats could be a pain I guess + the price is a wee bit on the high side for me. 'not that I'm in the market for a case since I'm perfectly happy with my current one but I still like this in a way'

Back in the day when Antec P180 practically formed the basis for modern cases, I used to say that many cases were clones of it, but these days it's fine that at least some case manufacturers have some unique features.

My first own PC was built in a Sigma Luna Silver, TPU even has a review of it just the black version:
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/sigma-luna-wb/

At the time it was one of the fancier looking 'and affordable' cases on the market when I've bought it in 2008, so ye even back then I've liked cases that catches my attention with something different and that is still the case nowadays.
I mean nowadays you can get a 50$ case that has enough airflow for 90% of the average users so its like whatever at that point they are all the same basically its there to hold the hardware in place so might as well buy one that looks a bit different than the rest. 'at least thats how I buy my cases, my previous case was a In Win 101C'

Well, like everyone here, I am entitled to my opinions, and therefore I tend to prefer cases that are NOT the standard, same ole same same boring AF rectangular boxen... all the way back to the original BitFenix Prodigy, Air 740/540, TT900 & Level 20 XT etc etc....and I don't have any reservations about criticizing the lazy-assed mfgr's who would rather just push out more & more of the above instead of making an effort to come up with something different once in a while....

As for breaking glass panels or parts, I've had numerous cases with them, but they were always framed, trimmed, well-secured with clips, thumbscrews etc, which prevented all but the most stupido of mistakes....however, the slats on the mirage do not appear to fit that description, since they seem to be held in place by a somewhat rudimentary "notch" or "pin" of some sorts at the top & bottom, which does not inspire much confidence for me...

Also, note that after a bit of goooglin, it seems that they are NOT "GLASS" after all, but clear acrylic instead, so that will probably improve their durability, but still leaves the mounting method as a weak point

Well then there are those weirdly shaped frame/transformer like Cougar cases and whoever else copied those. 'theres also some triangle case but I've forgot who made it'

Tbh I'm not sure if acrylic is better, at least the case I've bought in 2008 had an acrylic side panel and it was pretty easy to leave scratches on it so I've had to be extra careful with it, arguably even more careful than dealing with glass nowadays.

Yea but I won't go for stuff like that, although I understand that some folks do....and I just ignored the whole silly-assed, combobulated cartoon thing known as Transformers....

Both materials have their good & bad qualities, and have come a long way since 2008, but if manufactured correctly & handled appropriately, both can last for many years without scratches or breakage....

This is a 98% exactly copy of the Cougar MX600. some minor difference in front, and psu shroud.
you gave innovation award, which you should not.
