If someone finds a closed case with an exact layout like this open case, let me know :D


Definitely not quite what you were looking for, but it may be interesting.

I've been comparing S1 clones and I've narrowed it down to a few cases:

1. Acat X1: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.6639537.1997196601.15.b3417484M3ltlR&id=616405946850
698 rmb case
798 rmb case + riser
Power ring led for 20 rmb more
Has black and silver white color

2. AKLLA A4v2: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.6639537.1997196601.37.b3417484M3ltlR&id=613999752946
529 rmb case, the riser can be purchased for 99 rmb for a total of 628 rmb
No black or white color anymore, only space grey and white
No sliding side panel (snap on)
Slightly larger than Acat X1 and Kevcase
Apparently v1 was mediocre at best not sure about v2 as I haven't found much info on that

3. Kevcase v1.1 Youth: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.6639537.1997196601.26.b3417484M3ltlR&id=615655235485
Used to be 499 rmb, now it's 599 rmb plus 100 rmb for riser (total 699 rmb)
Only silver white with a black top which makes it the least appealing price-wise and visually to me out of the 3

Does anyone know which one is the best? I'm leaning to get the Acat X1 simply because it has the color I want (black) and from reviews, it seems like the quality is pretty decent but it is also the most expensive out of the 3.

On another note, are there clones of the FormD T1?

Are there any specs released for Acat X1?

Thanks! Did you use super buy? Looks like you got the front vented panel. Is there mounting for a fan?

I purchased directly. Setting up your account is a bit scary but once you've navigated your first purchase it's a piece of cake. Google translate solves most problems and the message app is great for asking sellers questions. I would install the app on a separate PC though...if you know what i mean ?

The front panel can support 1 or 2 120mm fans and a radiator depending on the PSU mounting configuration.

Nice, I can't even get the website to load right once I translate it. They also blocked my account, and i can't figure out how to unlock it. And I think I need a china bank account anyway in order to pay. Ill use super buy, or bug them on amazon or aliexpress to get the C34 in stock.

You can pay with a Visa or Mastercard with alipay. It should be something that gets setup as you make the purchase. You usually need your account to be tied to a phone so you can receive login codes. I only get the request when I use a new browser or device.

Deng is back with a new case, the A12



Overall dimensions: 29.5x16.6x25.2cm = 12.34L
CPU heatsink height: 135mm
GPU support: 280mm length, 55mm width
2.5" hard drives: 3x
SFX PSUs only

Zen Zone Art World have a couple of cases which I didn't see posted, first is the B6



Overall dimensions: 35x16.3x24.5cm = 13.98L
CPU heatsink height: 134mm
GPU support: 348mm length, 63mm width
2.5" hard drives: 2x
3.5" hard drives: 1x
Supports Mini-ITX and Mini-DTX motherboards
Supports 240 watercooling, maximum radiator length of 278mm

Theres also the B1, B2, and B2 Plus but they don't seem that interesting

Another Acat branded case has shown up, Acat3



This is either a clone of the smallest one case minus the USB port at the front, or perhaps my crazy theory is that its made from QC rejected panels. If you look at the photos posted on Chiphell you can see flaws on the panels, which I'm sure smallest one would never accept given his quality is known for being insanely high, with long wait times.

FYI I did a build and review with the B6 over in Builds recently:


There's some very nice machining available via Taobao.

Wow! The b6 is interesting. I don't like the X design, and the front panel looks choked for air, but besides that, it looks sleek. It looks like it doesn't support 3 slot GPU. Is it 2 slot or 2.5?
