CUK Stratos Mini ITX Gaming Barebone Desktop Case with Liquid CPU Cooler and 650W Power Supply Installed

I came across this case in a review in my Google App Feed for the prebuilt version with an i7-8700K. The review highlighted the hardware that was included for the cost and how it performed, but not much was said about the case. I really liked the aesthetic, so I researched to see if it was available without the preinstalled hardware. Thus, here we are.I've recently gotten into Mini ITX and packing the most power into the smallest of cases. I currently own a Velka 3, NZXT H1, EVGA Hadron Air, and now this case. For the included hardware, I think it is a much better deal than the H1. You have all of the same inclusions as the H1, plus 4 fans, which I'll go over in more detail below.Case build quality - The structure of this case is very square and somewhat pointy, which is just fine by me. It's very rigid, no flex or wobble in the construction of it. The front tempered glass is removeable to access the front fans, and looks very nice with the tempered glass on the right side of the case. The left side door is made of black acrylic, which is definitely a cost-cutting measure. It looks odd and out of place, but must not be meant to be the side to show off. I would have preferred all sides be TG, but I'm not complaining too much. Inclusion of mesh on this side would have been a nice touch, but is simple to do for the end user.The power supply is supposedly a CSN650M, made by Channel Well Technologies (CWT), who also make a majority of ThermalTake and Corsair modular power supplies. The sticker that came on my power supply looks different than any sticker I've seen on images of this same power supply online, so who's to say that this is a legitimate CWT PSU? On top of that, CWT has been known to have a wide variance in the quality of their power supplies in the past. While this is marketed as a 650W 80+ Gold, and is on the 80+ Certified PSU list, this may be a fake, or simply the 500W version with a 650W sticker on it. Essentially, don't rely on the PSU being anything crazy good. The cables included are long, so I would highly recommend a custom set if you want it to look REALLY clean. You most certainly will not be able to zip tie the extra cable below the shroud, as there is no room to stuff your hands in there to be able to manage the excess.The included 240MM AIO Liquid Cooler is a Cooler Master Master Liquid LC240E, which is on Amazon for ~$71 at the time of writing. It's a decent AIO with AM4 and LGA 115X and soon to have LGA1200 support. The pump isn't terribly loud under load, and is dead silent at idle. It's a nice inclusion, but good luck getting the hoses to stretch the way that you want them to on a Ryzen system. I managed to make mine fit, but I had to stretch and bend the hoses further than I felt comfortable. There are no bends or kinks, but it is definitely nerve-racking.The included fans are generic 120mm RGB fans with an included controller. The controller looks like it can be plugged into a PWM fan header on your motherboard to control the speed of all 4 fans based on temperatures. It also has a 3 pin ARGB header, meaning it can be used with ASUS boards and Aura Sync. The LEDs within the fans are a bit weird, and have two LEDs that don't always go with the color pattern you may have set for whatever other LEDs you have inside the case. The controller is also remote controlled, which is the only setting I've used so far. It has a LOT of included LED settings and patterns, but most are just different color variations of the same few patterns. Very lack-luster, in my opinion. I would rather have the cost reduced to not include fans, and just install ones of my choice. ThermalTake has a great option for 3 ARGB fans (Pure 12, I think they are called) for $60. The fans at low are very quiet, but don't move a lot of air. Medium pushes almost double the air, but has a noticeable noise increase. The high setting sounds like a turbine starting up. Estimated RPM is ~2200 at high, and around 45dB for noise at this setting. Please note that I have not tried the fans using the 4 Pin PWM header on the controller. Took off one star because of the messy LEDs and noticable fan noise.With all that being said, I am very pleased with this purchase. There are a few things that could have been better, but it is definitely a nice addition to the collection. If you're in the market for a barebones Mini ITX case, this is a great contender to the NZXT H1. This will take up more desk space, but so far it out-performs the H1 in thermal-to-noise.
