The Gamdias Athena M6 may not look like much out out of the box, but aims to sway you with its unique underbody lighting element. Add the four ARGB equipped fans and built-in ARGB controller for an attractive price point, and there are many reasons to take a closer look.

Whoever is responsible for that PCI retention system and HDD cage needs to be deleted from earth. Hate all the cheap cases that use those 2 elements in their case design.

50dba load. Noise wasn't a con?
I'd bet that's the quality of the fans for you. But at that price, they system is pretty good though except for those USB 2.0 ports on the front & depending on how much storage one wants those mounting mechanisms could be better.

Re: USB 2.0 ports as a Con. Aren't there (rare) cases where input peripherals function more reliably on USB2 ports than USB3?
