Review on 💎 Corsair CRYSTAL 570X RGB Mid-Tower Case - White: Tempered Glass, 3 RGB Fans by Brian Hazzard

Overall, I really like this case. It has beautiful aesthetics. It's well designed and all tolerances are great. When installing fans, motherboard, power supply, etc. nothing is moved. All screws are perfectly aligned. The materials feel pleasant to the touch, the tempered glass is great. The metal is strong but not too heavy, it also has a perfect powder coat finish, there are no traces of raw metal anywhere. The cable management works pretty well, but I've had a few issues. My main concerns about the case are primarily why it doesn't come with a power supply shroud. I had to go to the Corsair website and order it for $14 ($4 + $10 shipping). Come on Corsair, that $4 part should be included in the case. Next up is cable management. The back of the case is fully exposed tempered glass, so you can't hide the rear clutter like you can in most cases. It can be a positive thing when you can achieve the perfect rear view to show off your cable management skills. The problem is that the cable duct you're working with is too small to accommodate all of the cables, especially when you start adding things like case fans, fan controllers, and most importantly, custom jacketed power cables. Another thing is that I wish the rear window was a little darker to hide the cables more. Some people might not mind that if they get their cables perfect with a thousand zip ties, but for a normal person I'd rather just tint it so I don't have to worry as much about how it looks. Especially since I can't fit all my cords into the jogger space. Edit: After 2 hours of intense wiring, I could barely push everything into the slider. And I mean hardly. It required a lot of work and creativity with the cable runs. Now I'm happy with the glass because I've spent so much time working on my cables that I want to show it off! Another plus is the RGB fans. As well as controls integrated into the housing. It's pretty cool. Unfortunately, as I have decided to upgrade my fans to the LL120 series and use the Commander Pro to control them via software, I am unable to use the case buttons. For those who just want a basic RGB setup, the fans and controls should suffice. Finally, there are only 2 USB ports on the front. Only 2nd and no 3.1 or USB-C on the front. It's not critical for me, but it might be for others. It's 2018, it would be nice to have a few extra USB ports on the front. My Antec case from 6 years ago has 2 USB ports on the front just like this one. In summary, I would definitely recommend this case to anyone looking for a good tempered glass case to show off their RGB fans and what not. I would have given 4.5 but rounded up to 5.
