The Azza Legionaire may manage your capture your attention with the unique aspect of a mesh side panel. On paper, it offers all the usual fixings we would expect from a traditional mid-tower enclosure. At $109.99 excl. taxes it does feel like you are paying a bit of a premium for that side panel, which seems odd, as glass should be more expensive. That said, surely, there is the added cost of novelty and setting up the tooling to create a mesh panel of this size.

At its core, the Azza Legionaire utilizes the same body as many other enclosures out there and no attempt is made to really change the design. That is not a bad thing on its own, but when you look at the choices Azza has made when it comes to the detachable parts that make up the whole chassis, it paints quite the lackluster image. This goes from the basic IO and simple dust filter on the bottom, to the incredibly weird and frustrating fans which unfortunately ruin the build experience, but could have easily been avoided.

Even once you are done building and turn on the system, the front panel design of the Azza Legionaire hides view of the ARGB elements from those proprietary fans. All this is a bit of a let-down which the cool ARGB equipped Azza logo or mesh side panel cannot make up for. In the end, if you look closely at what is out there for E-ATX enclosures, you will easily find other cases with the exact same body, USB-C, retail-grade fans, better dust filters, ARGB controller and more - all of which make for a far better overall build experience at the same or better build quality. And to top it all off, those options can cost up to 20% less than what the Azza Legionaire goes for.
