Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

I bought it almost immediately, as it went on sale in 2022, during this time it had a couple of different ssd and hdd, several processors, a couple of CPU coolers, several sets of RAM and just countless video cards from simple ones like GTX660-960 to hot tops like GTX470-480 and HD7970, so even they had a great life and they didn’t really heat up the rest of the components, since ssd, hdd and the power supply are in the lower compartment and they are almost not affected by hot streams from the VC and CPU.
Assembling and disembling is a pleasure, I use it in the default combination, but on top there is a wall with a window, on the sides of the grid. I do not use a fan for blowing in, only for blowing out it costs TY-147.
All the problems indicated in the minuses of previous reviews are ociated solely with insufficient experience and imagination. In skillful hands, this is just an ideal case, especially for such an acceptable amount.

Pros

1) everything fits (CPU cooler - TR TS140 Power 175mm, FB cooler - AC Accelero Extreme 320mm) 2) good air circulation, very comfortable temperatures inside 3) dust filters help to rarely clean the insides 4) if you put the video card not in the PCI-E closest to the CPU, but lower (who has motherboards with full-fledged lower PCI-E x8 / x16), then the video card fans will in cool room air directly through the wall with a grid

Cons

Rather than disadvantages, but features of operation: 1) I strongly recommend putting the left wall (next to the video card) with a grid so that the video card has access to room air 2) all the noise that is in it freely spreads around the room, so the case is suitable only for down-and-out silent freaks or those who sit in headphones and don’t care, therefore, to be quiet, you need: - 120mm fans use up to 800rpm - 140mm fans use up to 600rpm - do not use 3.5" hdd at all, replace with the quietest 2.5" hdd + ssd - select a non-hot (respectively quiet) video card or install a good alternative cooling 3) dust filters should also be vacuumed 1-2 times a week with a nozzle with a long nap, otherwise the inside of the case will still get dusty 4) a complete 200mm fan cannot be silent at stock 800 rpm (reobas, resistor, pwm on the motherboard to help), it starts normally from 400 rpm and at this speed it is really silent or almost inaudible 5) bright LEDs that annoy someone here can (suddenly, who would have thought) not connected to the motherboard, I never connected them 6) clean the wall with the window from dust with something soft (I covered the entire window with small scratches with a vacuum cleaner without a nozzle)
