Everything is well placed. The whole case comes apart so you can get to any part easily
This is honestly one of the easiest cases I've worked with. It's reversable, despite other people complaining about the "Sama" logo being upside down (first world problems). Airflow is great for a case this size making cooling easy to manage whether you are going air cooling or AIO. Lots of room for fans. I've got 4 140mm's, two 120mm's and a Thermalright SI-100 for cooling and still have room to make adjustments if need be.
The SAMA V-Play is an innovative case with a fantastic 8-inch display built into the front panel. I saw this case and immediately wanted itno regrets at all. Building in this case is a breeze as long as you choose your parts wisely and plan ahead. I built a high-performance gaming rig with an ATX motherboard, a powerful CPU, and a high-end GPU, and everything fits perfectly. The case supports various cooling solutions, including up to a 360mm liquid cooler at the front, and provides ample space for multiple storage drives. The build quality is solid, and the tempered glass side panel adds a sleek touch to the overall look.
- Compact - Easy to build in - High build quality - Good adaptability
- lots of room for cable management - easy to assemble and disassemble with no tool sides - Sides hold on very well despite no tool latches - Very versatile attachments for different size fans and radiators - love the tinted glass and wood look - Plenty of space for enhanced airflow - Second chamber has built in straps for cable management
Easy to work on
Specs: AMD 9700x Asus B650E - I Crucial - Pro Overclocking 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz C36 RTX 4080 FE 2TB + 1TB Crucial M.2 ID-COOLING Frostflow X 280mm Corsair 850 2023SF Series SF850 I have tried a couple of SFF cases, including the NR200. This Era 2 case keeps it slim, sleek, stylish, and easy to work with...more importantly, it performed the best. Keeps my 9700x (65w) and 4080 FE @ good temperatures with headroom. I think the key is going with a 280mm aio for better airflow and lower noise. I went with the ID Cooling X 280 and fits perfectly. The possibility to upgrade the 140mm fans to a noctua or similar performance could further improve temp performance. This was a quick and straightforward build, but plan your builds, measure twice, front panel cables are not very long, going with a non rgb device helps reduce management. This is meant to use AIO's, but plenty of choices if going with low profile air coolers. Going with single braided psu cables will also help, corsair sf 850w comes with it. Exclude using 2.5 ssd and omit the ssd cage for better airflow if build permits. I am very happy with the looks and performance of this case, Fractal really took it to heart to get the ERA 2 right. Is it perfect, nah, but is it good for the size. Absolutely.
-This case is BIG, but makes the PC build process so much easier with plenty of room to navigate and move things into their mounting positions. -The top is slanted so makes it nice to keep clutter from accumulating on top of the case. -The option to horizontally or vertically mount the GPU is nice. Just be forewarned that if you decide to vertically mount that you will have to buy the riser cable. -Cable management is made very easy with this case!
Reasonable price for high quality
- Solid cable management aids which makes the job SUPER EASY - The fans are strong and look great (although no lights on them so just know that) - The fans come with a splitter and are easy to hide cables. - Amazing price for such a solid case
