Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great case for multiple configurations

Let me tell you that this is one of the best cases I have ever received as it allows multiple configurations and fits almost anything. I got a set of RGB fans to make this case look cooler, which is why my photos don't show the included blue fans. Why I love this cover. 1. It has a DVD connector, 2. 2 front, 1 rear and 2 top fans with all 120mm connectors (more on top panels later)3. Hard drive mounting system without tools. But you need tools if you want to mount 2.5 inch SSD drives.4. Plenty of space for aftermarket graphics cards and CPU coolers.5. The cable management system is good but can get a little cramped if you don't have a modular power supply. I did my job with the bottom 3.5" hard drive tray to store any unused PSU cables that you can't see through the side window.6. SIDE WINDOW IS AMAZING! Warnings.1. If you're using a DVD drive, block off one of the top fan plates so you can only use one (not a problem for me as I didn't want to install heatsinks). In this case, however, you will have to choose either the DVD drive or the top radiator. Note. You can still install a radiator in the front, but you need to make sure your water cooling can reach it.2. Finishing - black piano lacquer, it is also a fingerprint magnet. If, like me, you use your computer to play old CD/DVD games, you can leave fingerprints there (as you can see in one of my pictures).3. If you are planning to install a DVD drive, you must first remove the front bezel, then install the top bezel, drive, and reroute the power, reboot, USB 2, and USB 3 cables. I've noticed some comments about the DVD drive not being usable. I believe these cables are routed to allow the heatsink to be top mounted. 4. When removing the top panel, you must first remove the front panel (and bring it back up first and then forward). Disadvantages1. I don't really have any cons, but if you ask me, I would probably do the front panel design a little differently to allow the top fan to work without jamming. The distance between the panel and where the fan is mounted is about 1 inch, so I find the airflow obstruction minimal, but with RGB LED fans it does block some of the light.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
