Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Smart Case

TLDR:The Good: Looks great. It's spacious where the motherboard and GPU go. The airflow is great. Easy to build into.The Bad: Space for wiring in the back of the computer if very minimal due to the backplate of the case not being popped out.I absolutely love the look of this PC. I bought it for my wife, and her and I both really like it. I took the parts from her old comp, and put them into this one. Moving all the parts over was easy. It had a LOT of space for the GPU, and has a lot of slots to bring cables in from the back. I was able to route most of the cables so they couldn't really be seen much. I really like the RGB lights. I added 3 of my own as well. The ventilation is great, and the magnetic filter for the top fans is a nice touch. I love the glass plate on the side. It has a nice black bezel, and it feels very premium. It fits into the screw slots nicely as well, which makes it easy to sit there while putting the screws in. My biggest issue was the amount of space behind the case where all of the wires go. I had to really work it to get everything to fit in there right, and get the back plate to go on right.The only things I would ask to change about the case would be: making more space for wire in the back of the computer, and adding a module to plug the 3 included RGB fans into for power.Overall I love the case, and have strongly contemplated buying one for myself. Just haven't yet, because my case is still great, just not as good looking.

Pros- Perfect case for a minimalist build. Bought this for my first ever build and it was perfect for what I needed: ATX size mobo, no HDDs, no radiators, no disk drives, a GPU with 2 fans, only 1 M.2 being used, and 2 additional Corsair RGB fans for top and rear.- Great overall size, they nailed the dimensions with this one.- Excellent airflow through this case! The front is cool to the touch.- The tempered glass side is nice, the thumbscrews have a rubber washer to prevent scratching which I liked upon constantly opening and reopening the case during tweaks.Cons:- The gap behind the motherboard for wires is very tight! Saying there is 5/8” - 3/4” is a STRETCH but it’s doable to get all the cables routed properly.- My lighting node won’t work to my motherboard. I have all 5 fans plugged (correctly in order) into the node and then all 5 fans with 3 pin connectors into the motherboard. I received a USB overcurrent message at first start up and troubleshot it to the node being plugged into the motherboard USB 9-pin. The node does work because I plugged it in when the PC was running and the iCUE software recognized it - allowing me to program the RGB the one time. If someone has any assistance on this it would be great because I’m not a big computer person and I didn’t see anyone else with this issue on forums and blogs. Unless I’m missing something obvious, it seems like no one else has this issue and the node does work as confirmed outside of startup. It would be a shame to need an additional component from Corsair because them integrating this node in the case was a great touch and one less thing for me to worry about. I reached out to Corsair but no response after almost two weeks.Conclusion:Great mid-sized tower for a minimalist build and excellent airflow. I would recommend to anyone with similar specs below. It will still work with more components and will require the effort to route everything efficiently, but it’s possible.My system specs:Mobo: MSI X570 Gaming EdgeCPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (stock Wraith Prism cooler)GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB (2 fan version)RAM: G Skill 2 X 16GB, 3200 DDR4PSU: Corsair 850WStorage: 512GB M.2 SSD

This is a midsize case. People continue to mention that in reviews, a lot of times in complaint. I absolutely love it though. I have it right beside my monitors to take advantage of the RGB setup inside. The front is gorgeous, especially in the evenings if I turn the room lights down and just have the monitors and case as lighting. I had no issue getting all the components in, I just had to take a moment and look at what I was working with. Motherboard was an easy install, the intel bracket for my AIO cooler also fit on perfectly with no trouble. The cradle for the SSD's is easy to take in and out, and if you're a bit lazy and a bit frustrated with the lack of space in the back of it for cable management you can even gently move some SATA excess into the cradle if you're only running on larger drive in it or if you're going to mount straight onto the back panel. There are several openings on the sides with nice cable covers that can wind PSU connections through to help with the aesthetic aspect, as well as smaller openings on the very top as well.The case worked well with the corsair h100i platinum cooler I installed, with the only downside being that I was unable to mount both fans directly onto the radiator due to the distance that the RAM stuck out from its motherboard slotting. Once again, this was something I anticipated though, and for the size and aesthetic of the case I would not trade that.Only real complaints are the very small amount of cable management space on the back panel which with zip ties and patience you can absolutely make it work, and the fact that the case fans are not white, as every other component is including the AIO cooler fans. It's a small detail that paying a little more for would have ideally gotten you, but in the long run that's also not the biggest sacrifice by any means.
