Endorfy ARX 500 Case - MAXIMUM airflow!
241Just a couple of months ago we did a sponsored build with a brand new case from Endorfy, The ARX 700 was Endorfy’s first case to be designed and built entirely in-house, it came with mesh, five 140mm fans and a budget price tag. Well, Today I'm looking at the new Endorfy ARX 500 which has lots of the same features as the ARX 700, it comes in two different versions with or without RGB and it's more compact and cheaper. But is it as good? Let's find out.
