Game Max Starlight Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Final Thoughts

How Much Does it Cost?

The Game Max Starlight is priced at an impressive £59.50. That’s an amazing deal given how much you get included. There’s that gorgeous RGB lighting in the front panel, and the rear fan, the fan hub, dust filters, tempered glass, and more. You’ll struggle to get more for less. In fact, the most competitive chassis against this are pretty much all other Game Max models.

Overview

I love what Game Max has done here, and I’m sure many others will too. I’ve seen Game Max try to do models over £100 a few times now, and they just seem to fall short on the quality front compared to their rivals. However, at the sub £60 they’re virtually untouchable and make some very competitive products.

Build Quality

The chassis is quite simple, and that’s a good thing. Everything is hard-fixed, such as the PSU shroud being built right into the chassis. The HDD bays are just solid rails, and even the cable routing is just a few punched out holes. No grommets, no modular storage bays, no lift out panels. While this may be seen as a “con” to some, it means the Starlight is rock solid inside and out. Sure, throwing some rubber grommets in, and a few tool-free HDD trays wouldn’t hurt the design, but it would push the price up.

Aesthetics

It’s just a clean, simple and focused design that makes a statement worthy of a more expensive chassis. The RGB lighting and tempered glass thing has been done to death, but with prices like this, and such a good looking chassis, I can afford more of them in my life. The fact they included an RGB hub is a big bonus too, as you can sync up all of your fans, lights, and more.

Should I Buy One

There Starlight ticks all the right boxes, and while a few minor things could be improved, the final build looks fantastic anyway. A great price, great build quality, and stylish looks. Highly recommended.
