Introduction


GMC are a Korean manufacturer who focus almost entirely on the design and production of HTPC cases. We have reviewed many HTPC and tower cases from them in the past, most of which we found to be high quality and competitive products. Today we will take a look at one of their more basic models, the G-50. The G-50 is a standard ATX midi tower case, designed to offer a classy appearance at the best possible price.

While it certainly isn’t a case designed with hardcore enthusiasts in mind, it could prove to be a very appealing product for our readers shopping on a tight budget.
