When I heard I was getting the £39.99 Game Max Falcon case to review, it is fair to say I was not expecting much from the chassis. However, I have been proved very wrong, so let me make it clear: the Falcon is an incredible case for the money.

For starters, it looks good – even if it does remind me of a storm trooper's costume. The large acrylic window shows off all your components, though, and there is even a top-panel dust-filter included – something we rarely see with cases that cost double the amount of the Falcon.

The case is also packed full of features. There's the PSU shroud which keeps things tidy, two fan controllers which can control a total of 6 fans between them, and two included 120mm RGB fans which are controlled via small infrared remote control.

More good features, like plenty of cable tie-down points and cable cut-outs, make the Falcon very easy to build in – I was able to create a tidy system, with cables routed where I wanted them and no wires left trailing across the motherboard.

Cooling is also very decent out-of-the-box, and there is even the ability to turn the system fans off thanks to the fan controller – something which is great for light workloads when your components are not generating much heat.

All-in-all, then, I am very impressed with the Game Max Falcon case. Game Max have brought a huge amount of features to the Falcon – features which we have previously had to pay significantly more for. If you are looking for a case on a tight budget, look no further – the Falcon is very capable and simply offers fantastic value for money.
