I love this shop! About computers and accessories

Well, I originally wanted to build itx, but bad planning and hasty decisions made me buy this case because the original case was too small. My fault is that I didn't take all the measurements and got fed up, but in the end I was happy with this case. A bit heavy, but it's still a good mid-size case. + Beautiful tempered glass makes everything beautiful/design. + The rear bay helps me hide all those ugly cables, I don't need SSD or HDD slots as I currently only have 1 NVME installed. + Many fan filters: Front, bottom, side panels have magnetic dust covers. Really nice to prolong dust accumulation. - A little heavy mainly because of the tempered glass front, side and top. - I originally wanted to mount an LL120 RGB fan on the front but had to cut all the pre-installed zip ties. A bit annoying if you don't have wire cutters handy. Tempered glass is easy to get fingerprints. ) Resistance. +/- In this case if you're putting an itx board in and have an AIO or something else that uses the onboard USB port, make sure your motherboard has 2 of them, or you use a USB port splitter/hub to have. The chassis Lightning Pro node that controls RGB uses a USB connector. My ASUS itx board only had one and I also needed to power the H115i Platinum so I had to buy a $5-6 splitter. So it's not really a disadvantage if you have a mATX or itx that already has a few connectors. +/- Lots of HDD/SSD slots on the back, which is useless if you only use m.2 drives. Overall, make sure you plan on releasing your builds first, rather than taking your time like I did when I was a 9th Gen Intel early adopter. Overall the body is really nice and the tempered glass adds to a sleek design if you go with RGB. A bit heavy but glass is glass lol. AX850 cooler - Corsair H115i RGB Platinum
