Installing the hardware into the Echo was for the most part fairly simple except for one MAJOR issue which I will cover in a short moment. In general most things fit where they were supposed to and the cable management routing options were decent, except for the fact as you can see I had to route the 8-pin PSU power cable across the motherboard, something I really do not like doing but seems to be the case in a lot of budget PC cases.
On to the issue I had with the Echo. As you can see in the image below the power supply did not quite fit up against the back of the case. While you cannot see it I actually have the PSU attached to the case in the below photo with 2x screws at the bottom and as you can see the power supply does not fit flush at the top and what is even worse is when looking at the PSU near where the side panel would attach and going towards the motherboard the gap only gets bigger! For testing purposes this really was not the end of the world but had this been purchased to be an everyday case, I would have been very upset by this as it is due to the fact the back of the case is so flimsy and cheap. The back and even the side rail in view below are easily bent just using ones fingers and it really does not take all that much force, something to be very wary of if purchasing this case as users will want to take extra caution to make sure not to bend it the wrong direction.
