The MPG Sekira 100 R is one of the most attractive gaming case from MSI. The E-ATX model features glass and aluminum and illuminates both a strip in the front and four fans with A-RGB LEDs. Nevertheless, the price falls by around 100 euros pleasingly moderate.
From the MPG Sekira series we could 2019 already the top model MPG Sekira 500 X test. It showed itself with an independent design, which was mainly composed of a two-part front made of glass and aluminum and four huge 193 – mm fans with A-RGB lighting. We rated the case as a coherent gaming case – even if there are more flexible competing models with sometimes better airflow. However, the MPG costs Sekira 475 X over 200 Euro and should therefore exceed the price range for many users.
The MPG Sekira 100 R is supposed to capture a lot of the optical charm of the flagship. This model also has a two-part aluminum and glass front and an elaborate A-RGB lighting system. The 200 – mm fan soft four 120 – mm-A-RGB fans. MSI has also painted the glass lid of the top model. When using lid fans, this should be more of an advantage in terms of cooling.
The price was significantly reduced, however. The MPG Sekira 74 R currently costs around 122 Euro and is so for a significantly larger group of buyers interesting.
