As opposed to the TA-370, there is a full selection of interface connectors here:

These are not concealed from view, but are anyway quite properly placed on the front panel.

The side panel brings no surprises:

You can read the name of the manufacturer again and see two vents here. The rear panel is designed in a traditional manner, too:

There are two seats for 80mm fans instead of one seat for a 120mm fan here.

The internal design of the case is up to its class.

You don’t have any conveniences like removable cages or thumbscrew fastenings here. Even the brackets in the front panel are to be just torn off.

There’s no use in my describing the assembly procedure for such a typical system case. Just grasp your screwdriver and get going. And I will move on right to the final result:

I had only one hitch here. It was when I was installing the drives:

Only one of the cooled bays was available for me with my configuration – the topmost one. Moreover, you should only install the drives after you’ve installed the mainboard. You are going to have some serious difficulties if you do this in the reverse order. Not that it is much of a drawback, considering the class of the product. What’s interesting, this case is inferior to the TA-370 in dimensions and class, but it does permit to install large coolers, providing that 1cm-wide gap between the mainboard and the power supply.

As a result, the TA-252 is a good system case you can build an inexpensive good home computer in, if you take care to equip it with a quiet power supply and quiet system fans.
