[btarunr]

GAMDIAS, the leading brand of PC gaming hardware, released a stylish and high-performance mid-tower case, ARGUS M4, which is designed with a diagonally striped perforated front panel, two built-in ARGB fans, and a tempered glass swing door. Moreover, its spacious interior provides flexible options for installation of fans and radiators to ensure optimum airflow.

Extensive Airflow Configuration and Two Built-in ARGB Fans: The ARGUS M4 comes with a perforated front panel, mesh vents throughout the case, a preinstalled 140 mm fan on the front and one 120 mm fan on the rear which enhance airflow intake and exhaust. The tempered glass swing door as well as the two built-in ARGB fans that can be synchronized via motherboard or LED control button enable users to show the beauty of their builds.



Versatile Cooling Support
This case can support up to 9 fans and offer flexible options for users to install radiators. To illustrate, it can accommodate 360/280 mm radiator on the front, 360/280 mm on the top, 240 mm on the side, and 120/140 mm on the rear. The ARGUS M4 excels in cooling performance as it supports two 360 mm radiators on the top and the front simultaneously.

The case supports up to ATX motherboards, air coolers with 180 mm RAM clearance, and VGA cards with lengths up to 417 mm. In terms of the storage compatibility, the ARGUS M4 supports installation of up to 3x 2.5" or 2x 2.5"+1x 3.5" and can accommodate PSU with lengths up to 200 mm.

Can someone tell me the advantage of placing the front IO in this orientation?

None that I can find. If the case is stuffed under a desk or on top of the desk, either way a USB headphone cable is going to be bent.

USB is backward compatible why even put USB 2.0 ports on the front, just make them all USB 3 and no FP USB-C either... nothing special case, hopefully the price is right at about $£40+- as wouldn't pay more for such an ordinary case

Most basic tier motherboards have only one USB3 header.

Most basic tier motherboards have only one USB3 header.

True, and that needs to die out also, honestly now after how many years how much more expensive can it be to make USB 3 standard and ditch USB2?

Thought I read not so long ago that some input devices can be happier on USB2. I don't know how much more a USB3 header costs to implement, but it's certainly not zero, and price competition is very intense at the low end of the market. Every fraction of a cent on the BOM matters. Come to that, how many basic tier cases that these basic tier motherboards are going into have more than two USB ports of any kind built-in anyway? EDIT2: This one, apparently. Missed that the first time 'round.

EDIT: O hey, I found a reference to an advantage of USB2 over USB3 in today's Razer Basilisk V3 review!

Given that plugging the dongle directly into a USB 3.x port is known to cause issues with interference, and given that USB 2.0 ports are becoming rarer and rarer, I consider this a major omission, even on a "budget" release such as the Basilisk V3 X Hyperspeed.

2 USB-A 2.0 and no USB-C on the front IO!

some seem to think just because this is a "enthusiast" forum, everything has to be geared towards "us".
many ppl will not be on here (forum), but might get here thru link/recommendations, or while looking up info before a purchase.

many users will be happy with this (if priced accordingly), and spend their savings on a (step) better cpu/gpu,
instead shelling out another 50-100$ for a "better" case.
getting something with a glass panel instead of a thin acrylic one, would be enough for me to consider it. (for others).
some of the rigs i build with 40-80$ cases, looked better than some i spend almost double.

question: do you have a pink bike/car? no?
so we shouldnt have those? you know, cause "you" dont (need one)? right.
i will assume, many girls (some others) will disagree..
i doubt anyone here (with the funds and expertise), will use this for the next +3K WS build,
so if "you dont" like it, thats fine, doesnt mean we need to sour it for everyone else.

doing some repair/troubleshooting, you will quickly see its good to have (native) usb2.
i have seen multiple times where certain KB/mouse didnt work unless running win os,
so you cant even get to bios etc, having only usb3.


having (front) usb-C, means nothing regarding power/speed, and i rather have a usb-A as 3.1/3.2, versus a usb-C connection doing 3.0 or 2.0
ignoring for a moment that i can buy usb-A cords doing what C can do (perf wise), so dont see a reason that every board "must" have it,
nor for what it so important to have it on the front (just buy a longer cord?!)...

USB C on the front panel can be very flaky with NVME as Case brands rarely show the real specs.

 

[Waldorf]

and someone with the funds to use an nvme (not ssd) for usb storage, should shell out the cash for a case that does..
most are still on (cheaper) hdds, maybe ssd.
no one i build a rig for in the past 6y, is using anything but hdds for ext use, a handful that do have an ssd, are spare/used drives from me/previous use..
