The DIYPC-Trio-GT-RGB (Editor's note: DIYPC, please find cooler model names for your cases!) isn't pushing any envelopes regarding design, but is not completely understated either. The two main elements regarding looks are the slight angle/tapering of the front glass panel and use of exposed LED rings in the four fans. Don't get me wrong, this fan-type has been around for a long time, but very few case brands actually utilize it.

Beyond unassuming looks, the Trio-GT-RGB actually delivers a solid feature set. From the solid frame, inclusion of four RGB fans, and great material mix, the interior does not disappoint either. True to the brand's name, the chassis offers plenty of mounting possibilities for liquid cooling, including cutouts for reservoirs and pumps, which is a nice touch.

While the interior layout is just as unassuming as the exterior, it is functional with the tool-less 3.5" trays, four fans, and 10-port RGB controller with onboard fan-speed-adjustment capability. Luckily, due to the magnetic, hinged doors, getting to that tiny button is not a real issue but a mere inconvenience. It would have been nice had DIYPC gone the extra mile by utilizing the possibility to place a button in the I/O panel. Luckily, input methods are all present otherwise, with two USB 2.0, two USB 3.0, and the ability to cycle through LED colors.

So where does this leave the Trio-GT-RGB overall? The fans do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to the looks of the chassis, but the inside manages to hold its own. At US$90 and no tangible deal breakers (with the exception of the small annoyance of break-out covers in the back), it is easy to recommend for the budget, but if you happen to find it on sale, stop everything you are doing and rest assured that it will be a great impulse buy!
