Corsair CRYSTAL 570X RGB Mid-Tower Case, 3 RGB Fans, Tempered Glass]

The case is Gorgeous and is extremely well made! I say this case is actually a good deal simply because the case comes with three LL-120 RGB fans with a fan hub and a Corsair Commander Pro. If you purchase the Commander Pro separately that would run you about $64 and a three pack of Corsair LL-120 fans with the hub would cost you $110. That's $174 that I would have spent on buying these items separately. If you subtract the cost of these items from the price of the case, that's like saying I paid $76 for the case.Anyways, the glass on the case is like a smoked black color and is beautiful. The glass panels on the left and right side are like doors that swing open and are held in place by magnets. There are hinges on the back side of the case for the doors and are held in place by a single screw, so the sides can be removed. These doors are easily the best feature of the case.I am making good use of the included Commander Pro, fan hub, and the three LL-120 fans. I have a total of six fans running (4 LL-120's (three were included) and two LL-140's) all connected to the Commander Pro and fan hub so no issues there. Overall the airflow is amazing! There are also fan filters that are held in place on the bottom, front, and top of the case.There is the ability to vertically mount your GPU to the case if you purchase a PCI Express extension cable. If you are running an air-cooled card I would recommend not doing this as there is not much room between the case and the video card in a vertical setup and you starve the fans of air. My graphics card easily saw an increase in temps of over 40 degrees C in the vertical setup.Cable management is decent in this case, but my only gripe is that there is a removable channel to hide your cables in and it can be a real PITA to route all of your fan/power supply cables in it. This took lots of patience and zip ties to make all the cables fit in the channel. It was worth it in the end to do it though as it adds to the aesthetics to the case.The fan hub and the commander pro can be positioned anywhere on the case, but tape is used to secure these items to the case. Magnets would have been a better choice in my opinion. Finding a spot for these items can be a challenge as well. I removed one of the hard drive mounts to adhere these items to the case.Lastly, whoever decided to pack my case up decided that it would be a great idea to adhere the corsair commander to the inside of one of the glass doors before they shipped it. It was not fun trying to pull the commander off of the door. The tape was very well adhered to the glass panel and I thought I was going to break the door! Anyways, I also had to use Goo Gone to remove the residue from the glass so I was slightly annoyed. Fortunately, I was able to use the same tape to re-adhere the commander pro to the case, so the quality of the adhesive is really good.I'm not taking a star off for this though. So between the value of the case, the good looks, air flow, doors that swing open and overall build quality it is not hard to say that this is easily the best case that I have owned thus far.Last thing to note is that there are only two usb ports and one usb c port on the front of the case and there is no way to mount an internal DVD/Blue Ray drive with this case, so keep that in mind.

Overall I really like this case. It is has a beautiful aesthetic to it. It is well designed and all the tolerances are great. Nothing is misaligned when installing fans, motherboard, PSU, etc all the screws line up perfect. Materials feel great, the tempered glass is gorgeous. The metal is durable yet not too heavy, it is also perfectly powder coated no sign of raw metal anywhere. Cable management works pretty well but I do have some gripes.My main issues with the case is first of all why does it not come with the PSU shroud cover. I had to go to Corsair's website and order it for $14 ($4+$10 shipping). Come on Corsair this $4 part should be included with the case. Next is cable management. The back of the case is fully exposed with tempered glass so you can't hide your mess on the back like most cases. This can be a positive if you can get it looking perfect back there to show off your cable management skills. The problem is the channel that they give you to work with is too small to fit all the cables especially once you start adding stuff like case fans, fan controllers, and most of all individually sleeved power cables. The other thing is I wish the back glass was tinted a little darker to hide the cables more. Some people may not mind this if they are able to get their cables perfect with a thousand zip ties but for the normal person I would rather it just be tinted more so I don't have to worry about how it looks as much. Especially since I can't fit all my cables in the runner space.Edit: After 2 hours of intense cable management I was barely able to squeeze everything into the runner. And I mean barely. This took a lot of work and creativity with the cable runs. Now I am fine with the glass because I spent so much time working on my cables I want to show it off!Another positive is it comes with RGB fans. As well as a controls integrated into the case. This is pretty cool. Unfortunately since I decided to upgrade my fans to the LL120 series and use a Commander Pro to control them with software I cannot use the case buttons. For someone who just wants a basic RGB setup though the fans and controls it come with should be sufficient.Lastly, there is only 2 USB ports on the front. Only 2...and no 3.1 or front side USB-C. Not a deal breaker for me but for others it might be. This is 2018 it would have been nice to have a few extra front USB ports. My Antec case from 6 years ago has 2 USB ports on the front just like this does.In conclusion I definitely still recommend this case for someone who is looking for a nice tempered glass case to showoff their RGB fans and what not. I would give it like a 4.5 score but I rounded it up to 5.
