Final Thought

The X-Mask is an average chassis with the usual features that we have found in many other mid-level cases. It performed at par with the NZXT Guardian and the Ahanix Black Knight in both the temperature tests as well as the noise tests. We did, however, enjoy the ability for greater expansion when it came to drives. It's not rare to see cases nowadays with more room to add, since storage is becoming more important to consumers.

As for the price tag, we have seen many other cases with solid features like tool-less/screw-less designs and removable motherboard trays in a far better price range than the X-Mask. At around $70 retail, it seems a bit much for the X-Mask compared to those steel enclosures in the $40-$50 range, but then again, Super Flower does include a 350W power supply.

If you like a clean-looking case with features like a tool-less design and top performance as far as cooling and sound goes, the X-Mask may not be the right choice. On the other hand, if you enjoy the Spiderman theme and plenty of storage space, not to mention an included power supply, then look no further.
