Cases are typically composed of aluminum or steel, but today we get to take a look at one of the first cases we’ve seen to have an aluminum-magnesium mix. These two metals create a very lightweight case, weighing in at only 7.7lbs! It also has a unique brushed finish, both inside and out, to make it stand out from the crowd of cases. Read on further to see if fits up to today’s standards.
Special thanks to Diablotek for providing us with the Fly Mid Tower Case to review.
