It is pretty amazing when a high-end case manufacturer takes on the down-market head on. The down-market, or what some call “normal consumers” is a very particular group when it comes to what they spend money on. Some go for cases with 200 drive bays (because they have two drives but, may want to buy more in the future (hint: they never do)). Or, they want exotic cooling because some techTuber told them cases without front vents are garbage. Whatever their kink is for choosing a product they will always want more, and never use it.

In this review we will be looking at the Metallicgear Neo Micro. Metallicgear is a brand we were introduced to during Computex and while most of the press (and videos) were focused on the new Phanteks Evolv X there was an entire room dedicated to Metallicgear and reasons behind launching a new brand.
