With the ARX 700 ARGB, Endorfy is trying to establish itself with a small but fine case in the mid-range segment. This mid-tower case is a sheet steel case with a glass side panel and power supply cover. At least 4 ARGB fans in 140 mm are included for 120 euros, which should provide plenty of airflow. This case had also appealed to me privately, as it looked really good for the stated price in the advertising and external presentation. So should I be surprised? However, this price range is highly competitive, but more on that in the test.
Today’s article is by Dirk Zelder and it is also his first article on igor’sLAB. The content is based on the popular articles by Alexander Brose, but he certainly brings his own personal style to the table. Getting started with a model from the highly competitive mid-range is certainly not easy, as the cases are now all so similar that it really comes down to the details. And that’s where the real difficulty lies. But I think he’s done a really good job.
Endorfy comes from the Polish manufacturer COOLING, which became known on the European market with the brands SPC Gear and SilentiumPC. The company was founded in 1993 by Zbigniew Zdziech and initially sold computer accessories. In 2007, the company’s first brand, SilentiumPC, was created, followed by SPC Gear in 2016. Today, the company holds a leading position on the Polish market in the sales segments of PC cases, power supplies and air cooling. The products can be found in the budget and mid-range segments. Let’s see if this case can now assert itself against some of its competitors.

And as a little foretaste, the whole thing as a running system, but in green (despite the AMD graphics card):
