Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Sentey Optimus Gaming Computer Mid-Tower Case (GS-6000R)

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2014

Pros: Very Sturdy, lots of room, looks good inside and out. I cannot stress this enough: I have all fans in my computer setup and it is unbelievable quiet, my "stealth" keyboard is louder. I actually am starting to like the PSU bottom mount more, it seemed to free up space behind my computer without a cord coming from the ground up. Led's are nice and bright but not overpowering. The spin control that looks like a volume control on a radio is for adjusting fan speed. I haven't needed it because its already so quiet might as well leave it at full speed, however i did manage to set every fan through it by linking them together.

cons: graphics cards have to be shorter than 11". i bought one that was 11.06" at the same time and it barely didn't fit. unfortunately for me i didn't buy it from amazon like i did with all the other parts so i had to spend $32 for "restocking" and $20 for shipping.

You can only have one ODD in it as it ships, you might be able to fit another by removing the other panels as it has locks for 4 but i'm assuming thats for extra HDD space, incase you need 8 hard drives, lol

expansion slots on the rear are metal inserts that have to be broken out, cannont be replaced, but i'm sure amazon will have universal replacements.

othernotes: It looks awesome. it has screwless design. SD card reader was a bonus.

This is an excellent case for the price. I did encounter some problems while assembling everything but it all turned out fine. Lets begin with first impressions: My case came in large box delivered to my door, upon opening it i found the actual case box. It was quite dusty but no biggie because all i really cares about what was inside. When i pulled everything out it seemed like it was in perfect shape but i actually found a dent on the side panel later on. But nothing big. I will note the paint is easily scatchable so you should be carefull when assembling your pc.

When you open it youll find everything you see in the picture but the contents of the bag do vary. Mine came with 8 standoff screws (needed 9) and 2 plastic standoff screws which i have no idea how to use. It came with more than enough screws for everything else some zip ties and a motherboard speaker.

The front panel: overall work but a bit cheap. I dont really care that it was usb2.0 or anything just the fact that im getting some strange buzzing from the headphone jack is what concerns me. Nonetheless everything works so Im happy.

Fan controller: lets talk about something no one has talked about in the case. The fan controller. It only supports ONE fan and uses molex connectors. Works fantastic but i wish it had one more fan support.

Space: this was kindoff an issue for me. I didnt expect to get the best wire management but still a little disappointed in this department. As far as gpu space it will fit up to 270mm easy. CPU fan space though might be a problem. My cooler master hyper 212 barely fit and that was after uninstalling the side fan which is a bummer. If the fan was position more to the bottom right corner this wouldnt have been an issue but whatever. Cable management was difficult for me in this case. There is next to no space in the back. I was only about to route 3 wire behind to make it fit. 24pin wont fit but 8 pin will with some smart routing. Good thing this case doesnt have a window because you can see my 24 pin from the front. Overall it fits but its not pretty.

Tool free installation: Some work others dont. Drive bay one work very well no issues for me. However the harddrive bay ones are flimsy and easy scratch. More importantly they seem to wear out very easily. After just a few test installs to make sure everything fit I noticed they were already noticably looser. Another big issue with them is that they have a metal cover on the back so you unable to hide the cables behind the motherboard. And lastly about these damn hard drive bays is that you cant really connect ssds easy. The ssd after installation are not on the edge of the bay so you can easily connect 90degree angled cables. No its the center behind half an inch of useless metal. So i had to install my ssd at angle to accomedate that fact that i didnt have straight sata power cables. Maybe not an issue for you but i was using the stock cables from my corsair 750m. Also the pci one werent compatible with my gtx 970. The wholes were completly off. So what i did was use screws. Now they just dangling there sadly. I dont know how well these plastic one support the weight either so ide use screws if i was you.

PCI expess slots: they are the kind you have to bend out that later need covers. The case came with one cover luckily.

Fan: Very happy. Comes with 4! 2 120 exuast top and rear, one side 200mm intake and one front 120mm .
Even though i had to remove the side fan to make room for my cpu fan its still nice that it came with it. I believe had they put the fan inside the side panel that the cool grill on it. It might have fit perfect. This is just something to consider when looking at this product.
Another note is that these fans have molex connectors. I know most motherboard have either 4 pin or 3 pin fan connects so unless you want to go out and get some adaptors or buy new fans, they will be running on blast at all times with exemption of the one connected to the fan controller. They have dust filters too which is nice. There is also space to install more fans if you so please.

Also case is reasonably heavy but sturdy.

Drive bay cover are the bend to remove kind which is annoying.

I know ive said alot of the negative things I encountered while installing my baby into this case so here are some of the many things i liked. First everything fit. Had to make a few adjustments but everything fit and im happy with that. Might not look too pretty but its has decent airflow and keeps her cool. The looks are just beautiful IMO It reminds me of a lambo especially with my msi shield sticker on it. The side panels are nice and the thumbscrews arent a problem. At 60$ I mean i cant really ask for much.

Final thoughts : I feel this case is worth the money. Its cheap and gets the job done. If youre good at cable management you might be able to make you pc look even better on the inside. I wish the case came with an actual manual for how to set some of it up but just watch the video online.

In the end I say its recommend but hey shop around and you might find something better.

It looks nice, has good ventilation and the set-up for the HDDs is nice. It is smaller than it looks, creating issues if you have a tall CPU cooler or a large GPU like I do. Also, the way the HDD slots are setup makes it very hard to use some SSD mounting brackets on them, and the plastic used to clip the HDD slots in isn't very high quality.

A decent tower for the price or entry-level computers.

I have ordered several Sentey computer cases and they have all been very good cases. This case has plenty of fan spots available as well as great air movement. The construction of the case is very good and I did not find any aspects of it that are sub-standard. If there was any issue there is not a whole lot of room between the frame and the side panel to route wiring behind the motherboard. This just takes a little more time to properly route and secure the cables due to the tighter clearance. Overall I would easily recommend this case over ones that cost twice as much.

I will also say that Sentey seems to care about what people think of their products as I have received several e-mails from them - even a few months after my purchases to make sure their product is functioning properly and living up to expectations.

It's a great case! Don't get me wrong. It works great and fits everything that I need and looks pretty chill. The only problem I have is there horrible customer service. I didn't want the case at first because I had something that wouldn't fit so I wanted to send the case back and they were chill with that and gave me a refund. I then told them I wanted to keep it so they charged me for pretty much buying it again. (nothing new) After about a week I get a notice that says I need to return it or else I'll be charged the same amount as I paid for it. That's when they stop answering my emails and won't refund me for charging me a second time. The case has worked out for me so far but because of the service I've received it's getting this rating.

I would not purchase this item again. This item utilizes older technology and the instructions are poorly written and not clear at all. There are several connectors but it is not labelled and the instructions does not indicate as to where it goes. The variable speed control for the fan did not work.
Suggestion, include USB 3 in your product. Label your connectors and provide clear instructions as to where to attach it to.

This was bought as a gift for one of my sons so I was waiting on feedback from him before commenting on the purchase. He is really enjoying the new case. It is running a lot cooler than the older case that he had, it is easier for him to use all the buttons on it and he and his father built the unit. He said that it was fairly easy to get all his parts into and was easy to put them in and secure. It is a really good case and it has lots of fans to keep it running a lot cooler than most other cases. We will buy more of this same case again in the future. Worth the money.

Great entry level case

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2020

Case is very well constructed and with plenty of cooling options available. The case even came with preloaded fans which was a bonus. Sleek design and plenty of room to work in when assembling. Not a power case but great for that mid range bargain build. Couple of flaws present, first the fan lighting is not the best and went out pretty quick, but not a deal breaker. Lastly the power button isn't the best and died long before the rest of the case did. Otherwise, can't beat the price.

It took some doing but Sentey did replace a side panel that was damaged in shipping; their 1st attempt ended in one that was damaged worse than the one I had.
I had to Mod the case with a cut out for the 8 pin power cable to the motherboard; wish they had put one there from factory.
There isn't enough room on top to put in a 240mm radiator and personally I believe that any case that has two or more fans mounted on the top should be able to mount a radiator. As it is, the top 120x25mm fans are so close to the motherboard that you can't hide their wires easily. Basically, place the wires where you want them then put the fans back in. If it were off set from center, then maybe an H100i could work but not in push/pull as it would block of the rear 120mm fan making that one all but useless or accessible besides the fact that you would hit the MOSFET and RAM heat sinks. If you were to use the rear 120mm fan slot to mount a smaller one like the H80i; you have to remove the top back fan. So plan on building an air cooled system if you use this case.
Most of the Molex connectors for the Blue LED Fans came right off of the cheap thin wires, lucky I was replacing them all with Aero Cool Shark Red LED ones, fantastic 120 & 140mm fans by the way.
The one fan controller can't handle all the fans for the case; there is a noticeable power reduction to the fans when daisy chained, enough so that the LED's were dim at full on. Putting in a dedicated fan controller is recommended and use the case one to control a light bar.
The placement and orientation for the aluminum Hard Drive cages are a joke for any kind of wire management; if they didn't have the lip at the back you could at least have the SATA and Power cables come in from the back of the case; having them come around to the fan door side is ridicules plus the brackets supporting the HD's block airflow from the front 140mm fan making it noisy. My solution was to drill out the 8 pop rivets and loose all the HD mounts. This made for a much smoother air flow and added room for longer graphic cards. There is one HD mount in the bottom 5.25 bay behind the Sentey name badge were I placed a 1TB hard drive and I added an SSD for it's boot drive. They show their HD cages as being able to mount a small fan under each hard drive and a grill at the bottom of the case. Lets just say with that many 60mm fans you might as well be in a server room with ear plugs.
As for the hideaway CD door... Throw it away!! It is loose, noisy, sloppy, shoddy, cheap and don't get me started on those tool less rear PCI & PCI-e hold downs. If you are going to put in any type of video card worth using for gamming; snap the little tit off before it breaks as your card tips and cracks its board. OK, that might have been a dramatization but really; put a screw in to hold the card in place. Three small screws hold that whole locking rail to the case and once the card is "LOCKED" in, you can easily wiggle it around.
Lastly, the bottom filter; again it is poorly designed and crafted. After just a few times of sliding it in & out; the screen started to come undone. Yes, supper glue can repair this issue but that's not the point is it.
You also have to be sure if you use a bottom fan that the screws holding the fan in are flush to the case or the screen won't go back in to place.

Nice Case

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2014

Let me start off by saying that this computer case is a really great budget case.
The Pros:
Three Case Fans Included.
Multimedia Card Reader
Fan Controller
No Tools Installation on the Drive Bays
Just Enough Room for a Corsair Hyper Evo 212
Cons:
The expansion slots in the back of the case are one-time use only. I have built my fair share computers I've never seen a setup like this. These brackets break out and then you toss them in the trash. I was so scared to try and break these and then it would render the case broken. However, what you are supposed to do is place a Phillips screwdriver into the expansion bracket and move it from left to right until it pops out.
No room for a top-mounted radiator. This computer case can only handle 120 mm radiator system. If you try to put a top-mounted radiator system in this case it will block the motherboard.
Cable management is pretty lacking in this case. However, decent cable management can be accomplished with patience and time.
In my honest opinion this case is definitely worth the money. It is easy on the eyes, and has plenty cooling fans included. This is also the only case within this price point that you will find a card reader and a fan controller. You will not regret buying this case if you're planning on air cooling are using a small water cooling system.
