Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

This and SilverStone RVZ02 are the best new generation gaming cases on the 2022 market. For huge coffins should go into oblivion and be used only for workstations and SLI / Crossfire tondems - I see no other reason to choose something larger. Say bad ventilation? Well, except if you put it horizontally, the video card will become stuffy, but in a vertical one, I assure you, it is no worse than huge cases, the top-end Intel Core i7 7700K feels great at 40.60 degrees.
Advice to assemblers: this case is ideal and the best option is the Deepcool Gabriel cooler, very quiet and 60 mm high - the lid will close right at point blank range, unlike the Noctua NH-l9x65 (I took it first, the lid did not close and it is in complete silence like - would squeak)
Corsair SF600 power supply, because only it also has an absolutely quiet fan.

Pros

The most compact chassis on the market with the ability to install a full-sized 2.5-story gaming graphics card. The presence of good dust filters on almost all perforated surfaces. Good materials. USB 3.0 on the front. Clear instructions, set of screws and ties.

Cons

End vents without dust filters. Only 2 spaces provided for 2.5" hard drives. To remove the dust filter of the video card department for cleaning, you will have to unscrew the front panel board (otherwise there is a risk of breaking), remove the back cover (and it is latched) Since I took the top ASUS Z270I ROG mother, I would like USB 3.1 on the front panel instead of 3.0
