Fans in the box, limits on the spec sheet
The Formula V Line Air Power G10 is a mid-tower ATX case that ships with its own airflow solved: PC Gamer counts five 120 mm fans in the box, three of them in a front panel that tilts to aim air up or down. Reviewers put the price at about $90, which makes the cooling the easy part of the pitch. The hard part is the spec sheet, because two limits can stop a build before it starts.
Scores land in the same neighbourhood without agreeing. Wccftech gave it 8.6 out of 10 under the headline “Mid-Tower Done Right” and called it a solid choice at $89. PC Gamer scored it 68 and called it “a sleek case with some less-than-sleek issues.” eTeknix, which lists it at $99.99, called it “a stunning, highly customisable airflow case” offering “staggering value.”
Cooling that needs no extra fans
PC Gamer built a Ryzen 5 7600X and Radeon RX 9060 XT system in the case using only the fans supplied and a stock AMD cooler. In its gaming tests the GPU peaked at 64.8 °C. The CPU reached a maximum of 91 °C with that stock cooler, which PC Gamer put down to the cooler rather than the case, suggesting a 360 mm radiator up top would bring it down.
The tilting front fans are the headline feature, but PC Gamer saw only about a degree of change when pushing them up or down, within the standard deviation, and advised keeping the build simple. Our view: treat the tilt as a bonus and judge the case on the three front intakes and the fans behind them. eTeknix describes four pre-installed fans, three on the front brackets and one at the rear, which squares with PC Gamer once you note that its fifth, a bottom fan, sits in the box uninstalled.
The case can take up to eleven 120 mm fans in total, per eTeknix, while PC Gamer lists three 120 mm or two 140 mm positions up top and two 140 mm on the side. If airflow matters, that is a lot of headroom for a case at this price.
Check the PSU before the cart
PC Gamer and Wccftech land on the same flaw: the power supply chamber only takes ATX units up to 160 mm long. PC Gamer could not fit a be quiet! Dark Power 12, a Dark Power Pro or a Cooler Master V1000, and had to drop to a Corsair SF600 small-form-factor unit. Wccftech notes that many modern mid-towers accept supplies up to 200 mm, so a high-end 1600 W unit of 190 to 200 mm is out. Measure the supply you own or plan to buy; PC Gamer also found an exact 160 mm unit a tight squeeze once the cables are in.
If you are still choosing a supply, our PC Builder is a handy place to line up parts before you commit to a case with a hard length limit.
Radiator support and the rest of the fit
Clearance elsewhere is generous. PC Gamer and eTeknix both list GPUs up to 420 mm and ATX, micro-ATX and mini-ITX boards, and Wccftech cites nearly 182 mm for air coolers. Liquid cooling is a single-spot affair, though: a radiator up to 360 mm at the top, with eTeknix giving 240 mm or 360 mm as options. Wccftech adds that the tilting front fan design leaves no room for a radiator at the front and that the side fan slot does not look suited to one either.
Wccftech also flagged tight back-of-case room for thick cables and missing rubber grommets on the larger motherboard-tray holes, while PC Gamer found plenty of space for cable management and tidied its build quickly. Both can be true: plenty of room for a normal build, less for bulky cables.
Which colour, and what to pay
Pricing is where the reviews differ most. Wccftech lists $89 and eTeknix $99.99, while PC Gamer gives $90 for the Black, Black Rose Gold and Wood versions and $100 for White, Black Titanium and Dark Blue. PC Gamer thinks that makes the white model awkward against the Corsair 3200D, which it says costs $30 less and takes PSUs up to 180 mm, though with three fans rather than five. If you want white, that is a real argument. In our view the black or wood finishes are the ones that make the money argument work.
For more case verdicts, our write-ups of Corsair’s Warthog case and HAVN’s HS 360 case take a different tack on looks and cooling. If you are weighing a whole new rig rather than just a case, prebuilt versus building your own is the trade-off to settle first.
Who should buy it
- ✅ Buy if you want strong cooling without buying extra fans, you have a PSU of 160 mm or shorter, and you are happy with a single top radiator spot.
- ❌ Skip if you own a long, high-wattage power supply, want a front radiator, or want a white case on a tight budget.
Our take: at about $90 in black, the Air Power G10 is one of the better airflow deals going, and the reviews back up the cooling. The PSU limit is the dealbreaker for some builders and a non-issue for most, so measure first and buy second.
