    It's not a mid tower, it a mini tower ie micro atx not atx

    other than that, depends on what you want to put in it, cooling isn't great but not rubbish, it's a positive pressure design, based off 2x120mm intake fans in the front and a single 120mm exhaust fan in the top (no rear fan one can be added but 80mm only)

    Biggest issue is only 140mm cpu cooler clearance That's still enough for something like the AC Freezer 13 (not 7 pro), Xigmatek loki, Noctua NH-U9B etc
    So would be fine for say a non-overclocked i5 if you don't mind some noise if you hammer it
    Or a 120 rad based loop ot all-in-one cooler eg H60

    Had a look at the A05? I've got the older design (no USB3) and not got any complaints. Fantastic build quality, never had any issues with heat and it's got a 580GTX running in it.

    PC-A55?

    Great little case. It's tight, and plan to add a 92mm fan.
