Game Max Hush Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Chassis Review
A Closer Look – Interior
With the side panel out of the way, we can check out this rather spacious interior. It’s nothing too complicated, but it looks like everything’s well thought out. There’s a larger cut-out behind the motherboard, making it easier to install your CPU cooler. There are no rubber grommets, but there are plenty of cable routing holes all around the motherboard area.
There’s a PSU shroud built-in, or at least there will be… It’s open by default, but it comes with a drop in panel which we’ll show you in a few minutes. This pre-open design does make the install easier though, just put the lid on when you’re done; if you want to.
Towards the front, you can see the HDD cage in the base. There’s also good clearance from the front panel, which should allow for easy radiator mounting.
Three Pre-Installed Fans
Both of the fans look great with the black/white finish, and are pretty good quality fans too; as they should be I guess.
The fan in the rear mixes things up a bit, in a good way. It features edge-lit RGB and will spark up a bit of colour for your build. It should also look great through that side panel window.
Around the back, you’ll find even more noise dampening materials on the right side panel.
There’s plenty of room back here for cable routing, which is a good sign. Of course, with the PSU shroud, excess cables can easily be stored there too.
There are two tool-free 3.5″ HDD bays in the base of the chassis. Of course, you can also install 2.5″ drives using the included screws.
Fan Hub
Furthermore, you can screw 2.5″ or 3.5″ drives directly to the chassis here, giving you two more drive mounts.
There’s also room for another two drives, giving us up to six in total and all tucked neatly out of the way too!
I bought a system that includes the Game Max Hush Tempered Glass Mid-Tower case and I really like it.
The sound dampening material makes this the quietest PC I’ve ever own. That said I have a slight problem I needed to replace the halo fan and one of the white fans on the front due to them having broken fins. I contacted the CCL, the company that built the machine and they have had difficulty sending replacement fans because they have no spares lying around and they say Game Max have none either. On top of that even though my machine is only 18 months old (purchase Jan 2020) Game Max have stopped making the Hush Tempered Glass model and I can not find a PDF of the case that used to be on their website. I have tried sending Game Max a message via their contact page, but so far they have not responded.
I was hoping to find a PDF of the case specs so going forward I make sure I replace the fans with similar that have the same size/type of connectors. I’m a chef not PC geek so any help would be appreciated.
