REVIEW Metalfish T60

A couple of weeks ago, I ordered Metalfish T60 from aliexpress, during one of their sales..A case thats been around for a while (about 4-5 years), with some minor tweaks from the manufacturer along the way.

I ordered the black mesh version with the PCI-express 4.0 riser on the 14/5/2025, which arrived yesterday.. 24/5/2025





It has some issues (no manual), slide panels are filmsy and dont fit a snuggly as one would like, but for the size., price and functionality... its very very impressive and usable.

Parts used (a hoarder like me, happended to have all the parts lying around)

Metalfish T60 with Pciexpress 4.0 riser - USD- $68.27 (ex GST) - AUD- $107.40 delivered
Asus ROG B650e-i Gaming motherboard
Aliepxress Ryzen 7 - 7700 CPU
Klevv 32gb kit of DDR5-6000 C32
Seagate Firecuda 530R - 2tb
Corsair SF750 plat
2x thermalright black fams.
ID cooling IS-55 HSF
Powercolor RX9070XT Reaper.

Its suprising quiet noisewise, at full load..
Temepartures are suprising okay for a SFF..
Sub 70 on the GPU and Sub 80 on the CPU during the 3dmark stress tests..
and not too hard to build in...
apparently sub 10L in size (9.7L)
Forgot to put the handle on at the start.. so will need an almost full dissamble, if I choose to add it in.

PROs
small size (9.L)
Cheap, under $110 Aud delivered with PCI-express 4.0 riser cable
Looks great
No manual - but I've done enough SFF builds to have a good idea
2x120mm mounts.
Reasonably GPU compatibility 44-45mm width and 300mm length apparently.
Mesh sides.
Free screwdriver
risers to extend the sides out a fraction (have not used these yet) to improve size compatibility.
Reasonably quiet and cool..

CONs
Flimsy side panels that dont fit well.
Screws and tolerances.. not quite up to scratch.
No manual - but I've done enough SFF builds to have a good idea
60mm HSF clearance only.
Everything is a very very tight fit.
Filters apparently stuck done with glue..
No USB-c front connector.
no AIO or water cooling options.


Really happy with build.. probably going to order a white version as well..during the next aliexpress sale..

 

Nice work, looks good.

I like metalfish, bought the s5 max version, it fit a matx mobo in it, has Grab handle for portability and mesh covers for good Airflow in and out.
