All in all a beautiful case and easy to build in!Pros:1. Incredible aesthetics, eye popper!2. Easy to build in (this was my first build ever)3. Very spacious interior with good cable cut outs for easy routing (includes pre installed grommets for cable cutouts)4. Includes 2 Corsair HD120mm fans. I swapped mine but its still a nice bonus (Corsair ML120mm fans shown in picture)5. Includes pre installed "Lighting Node Pro" (This is really nice for RGB controlling, however keep in mind you still need to attach the power connectors to the MB headers. Depending on how many fans you have, you may need a "Commander Pro" to hook up all the power as well)6. Pre installed 3 compartment 2.5" bay rack behind motherboard tray. As well as a 2 compartment 3.5" bay cage below the PSU shroud. Its worth noting too that the 3.5" bay cage cab be slid more towards the back or the front of the case which helps with either a front mounted 360 rad, or easier cable management coming from Power Supply.Cons:1. Tempered side glass panel can only be taken off or put on by hex bolts (This makes for a clean look, but is quite annoying for someone like me who cleans my pc once a month)2. To take off the front panel you must: Take off glass side panel Take off top panel Take of back side panelThen you have to reach in through both sides and simultaneously push in on both of the tabs hold the front panel in place and slowly work down till it pops off( I've read other reviews about these tabs breaking on people. I haven't had any trouble with that, abd seeing how tedious it is; I'm assuming others forced it and broke because of that)3. Cable management is pretty tough when it comes to the back side panel. My trick to solving this was to make multiple runs of bunched up cables. Instead of trying to make 1 or 2 clean runs.4. This is probably the BIGGEST PROBLEM with this case. The airflow is not the most optimal. You only have 1 small triangle of air inlet on this case. A lot of reviews talk about how hot this case gets, but luckily I haven't seen an issue. However I am running a 240mm Corsair H100i water cooler on my Ryzen 7 3700x I have a total of 3 intake and 2 exhaust. My cpu temps on idle are between 35°c-45°cI personally highly recommend this case to anyone who wants something different than a rectangular case, but I advise a water cooler on the cpu minimum.

Pros: Very quiet case. Any noise I hear is from my CPU fan not the case fans. Looks great! With fan LEDs off it looks very basic and no frills, with them on it’s very ‘gamer’. Personally I like the look. Excellent air flow! Not overwhelming large, but enough room to keep good size parts in. My be quiet dark rock slim CPUfan fits, and my MSI RTX 2060 fits great.Cons: it’s a little on the slim side horizontally. Tall tower coolers won’t fit. My Be Quiet Dark Rock Slim has very little clearance between the panel and the top of the cooler. Anything taller will not fit. Also because of the size of the case cable management inside is difficult. Particularly between the drive cage and the PSU.OVERALL: I love this case! Recommend it. But just be aware working inside takes effort and planning. Corsair is always been good to me, and this is just another quality product!

I read some of the other reviews and found a lot of them were overly technical and nit picky. What I found was that this case is very nice and provides a good aesthetic and adequate airflow over the mobo and GPU. I had no issue installing the motherboard and used a quite large triple fan rog strix GPU that went in with no issues. I will admit the cable management is a bit tricky as the space near the hard drive bays and power supply are small. If you are using a standard 3.5 or 2.5 drive when it comes time to change drives it may prove to be difficult as the wires run across the bay due to lack of room. To my that's only a minor nuisance. Also I used an m.2 drive on the mother board to avoid this.One important note is to make sure your motherboard has rgb headers on it***This unit doesnt come with an rgb controller for the fans.Also make sure your motherboard has enough fan connections or buy a fan coupler/splitter as that isn't included as well. Most of the motherboards I use have the header but in this case it did not so I had to buy a controller separately. Otherwise it's a overall good case for for the money

Awesome Case. I Love Corsair products. The RBG on the front is cool and a nice light Show. Comes with 2 fans one on the front and one in the back. Case has a lot of Airflow makes my room cold. (room cold is an understatement) but you can defiantly feel the cold air flowing through the case. Well Built and put together. the side glass wasnt scratched when sent. the Case come with a lot of padding and really secured inside the box. The only thing that made me mad was i kept getting shocked as i was trying to take the case out the box. It was funny but annoying. I kept saying to myself "Case so good its Electrifying". All in all its and amazing case and awesome buy. Must Buy!
