Review: MSI MPG Sekira 100R

Conclusion

MSI wants to give its fanbase an opportunity to adorn their gaming setups with as much Mystic Light gear as possible. RGB-laden hardware continues to prove popular among the target audience, and the MPG Sekira 100R serves as another piece of the jigsaw.

Playing to its strengths, MSI includes four 120mm aRGB fans as standard, which when coupled to the front light bar and illuminated dragon logo, allow for multiple effects and synchronisation opportunities via a single motherboard header. Such features may be deemed superfluous by some, yet the chassis looks surprisingly sleek in the flesh, with MSI managing to find a pleasing balance between subtle illumination and overblown light.

The spec sheet is reasonably well-stocked, too, with plenty of clearance for a high-end build, a decent number of storage and fan mounts, and an I/O panel outfitted with three USB ports, including a modern Type-C. The foundations are there, however the user experience could be better. Having to remove the top panel to get at the sides is an unnecessary extra step, cabling with four RGB fans can get messy, and there's little effort in suppressing noise.

Bottom line: MSI isn't the first name that springs to mind when choosing a high-quality chassis, yet for those wanting to amplify their Mystic Light setup, the MPG Sekira 100R fits the bill.
