CONCLUSIONS
While the Mcprue Apollo X is a unique and beautiful case on the outside, it doesn’t move the bar or do anything standout on the inside as with most ATX cases. Hardware compatibility is good and thermals are around where you’d expect for a mid-tower. If you’re buying this case, it’s primarily for the Apple aesthetics. Finally, the elephant in the room… The price… We are under no illusion that the Apollo X cost a considerable amount to manufacture on such a small scale. With its uniqueness, manufacturing costs, and other financial factors, the high pricetag isn’t all that unreasonable and this case isn’t meant for the masses.
