From pulling this case out of the box, to installing all of my parts and powering it on, this case screams "Quality!" and "It's easy!"The good things to mention are plentiful: It has all of the motherboard raisers pre-installed for ATX, so you can begin installing your parts pretty much right away. Not only did this case make the process of installing everything extremely easy, it actually make the process a pleasure. There's plenty of room on the back side of the motherboard tray for cables and whatever you need to route through it, and the screwless design is actually screwless; it made installing the HDDs and SSDs very simple to do and without any tools required. All in all, this case took about 20+ screws out of service and put them back into the zip-lock bag for use with other cases and parts. The case includes three fan filters: one for the top, one on the front, and one underneath for the PSU - all of which can be easily removed with (literally) one finger to be cleaned with compressed air and put back. The case has separate SSD trays on the other side of the motherboard tray so that they don't interrupt the airflow of the front fans (nice!). Pretty much everything in this case is modular. Don't want all of those HHD trays sitting in the case? They can be easily removed. Want to put this somewhere else? It can be done. The case is very roomy. You can install water cooling on the roof, on the back, on the front, wherever you want to put it. I won't have to worry about measuring this or that; I know that this case can handle it without a problem.The drawbacks of this case are very minute and very picky, but I figured I'd mention them in case it's a deciding factor for someone else. I like laying the case down on its side to install the motherboard, and the leg and door made me a bit nervous that I'd apply too much pressure and bend the steel door on the other side or break a leg (no pun intended), but nothing happened and the case handled it without an issue. There was probably a better way to go about installing the motherboard that the manual clearly points out, but I was anxious and I had a long day... I winged it... sue me. The case is also quite large. Large enough that some people may not like the size. To be blunt; this case is a beast. Prepare to make room for it. However, if you're like me and want a case that you don't have to worry about measuring, making room for something to fit in, or having to wonder "Will this fit? Can my case handle it? Do I have room for it?", then large / full size cases are most likely what you're going to inevitably be going with. It's just the way she goes. Another drawback that can't be ignored is the cost. This case ran me upwards of almost $200, which can be viewed by many as an expensive investment for something that will have outdated front USB ports years down the line when USB 4.0 or something equivalent comes out. Sure, there are cheaper and smaller cases out there. Just make sure that you don't trade quality and room just to save you $100 or so.TL;DR - Minus the cost and size, which will inevitably turn people away... this case is amazing. The quality is superb and I'm quite happy that I went with it. Before going with this case, I purchased a gaming case case from a company (it has a flower in the first four letters of its eight-letter name) because it was cheap in price. After dealing with quality, lack of room, and the fact that one of the drive bays was damaged, I returned it and went with this case for $100 more. Very glad that I did.

First, let me be clear that you need to make sure this is the right size for your needs. This case is HUGE. It's giant in the way we think of gods. It stands nearly as tall as my desk and it's WIDE.If you are still reading because this is an appropriate size to what you're looking for, then congratulations; you've no need to look for a different computer case.This is hands down the best computer case I've ever seen. Granted, I haven't been touring the world investigating the nuances of case design but I have spent the last couple weeks trying to decide what to upgrade my case to. I've looked at every brand, I've looked in every price range. This one is what I would consider to be the best for a hobbiest or gamer who wants to have a future proofed computer case.Build Quality:The build quality is superb. I mean top-friggin-notch superb. There is a rubber, non-slip, footing on the bottom of the case, the top and front mesh grilles pop out with the push of a finger (push once to release, again to secure it once again).It feels completely solid while carrying. The tolerances are tight.My only con is that the side panels don't latch a little stronger. They're seemingly designed to be able to not latch if there is pressure from the inside. If you close the back side and then reach through the other side and push you can de-latch the panel. Small gripe but once I cleaned up my cables it wasn't a problem.Fans:There is room all over this thing for fans. Room for three on top, two in the front, one in the rear top. The drive bays are removeable, which I did to allow more air flow. The fan control on the top of the case is a really nice touch.Overall impressions comparing this case to my former case:I feel like this case pulled me out of the paleolithic era. My old case was cramped, crowded, cluttered, and just made me want to hide my case out of sight and hope no one looked at it. This one is a case that I can show off, it improves my cooling performance, and it will be a breeze to maintain.I don't have a picture yet of what it looks like after I removed the drive bay and fixed my cable routing, but I'll add it after I take it.

Great case with a lot of fan headers. I have been building PCs since they have existed and am a big fan of Corsair. I have used Carbide seriues previously but chose this case, as this PC sits on a carpeted floor. Take a look at the case design. It elevates the bottom of the pC which is just what I wanted. Ample room for fans too; I mounted and extra 120MM on the base of the case and 2 140MM on top in addition to the stock fans (All red. It looks amazing. I'm also using a fan for my ram and everything fits fine.In particular cable management is easy and the tool -free entry made my build super-easy. Very happy with my purchase!
