The Game Max Sapphire RGB case ships in a comparatively plain black box, with just a mention of some key features on the front.

Obviously a key feature of the Sapphire case is the fact that it sports three mirror-finish tempered glass panels. This does make photographing the case very difficult, as anything and everything is reflected by the 3 glass panels, and it can look truly awful.

That's why we decided to include one ‘doctored', photo where we have removed the reflections for a cleaner look, as well as one ‘raw', completely unedited photo.

For all the photos I take for KitGuru, I need good lighting, so I use 3 day light lamps and a light tent – as you can see in the image above. Clearly, the tent is reflected in the glass panels, and we have included this just so you can get a ‘real-world' look at the case.

These glass panels are also mounted well, as they fit on rubber extrusions and are then screwed into the chassis. It is a secure way of doing it and it works well.

In terms of the front panel I/O, the selection is plentiful. On the left-hand side, we find 3 different buttons that are linked to the fan controller: you change the RGB LED colour, set the speed and lock the setting to prevent accidental changes. Next to the fan-control buttons are the headset jacks, while 2x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 3.0 ports can be found on the right-hand side.

It is also worth noting that the roof of the case utilises a full-length magnetic dust-filter – something we always like to see.
