This case is incredible for the price point. It's very large for a standard ATX. It includes cable routing/built-in cabling system/access holes for mobo connection/etc. similar to cases costing $100 more. That's not an exaggeration. Very easy to route cables and make it look very good in the process. When reviewing this case, the main complaints where airflow. But I've not found that to be the case. Granted, I've installed 3 front 120mm fans, 2 top 120mm fans, a rear 120mm fan, and a modest but very nice working CPU fan. I'm running an Asus Intel Z390-P mobo with a modestly overclocked i5-9600K(3.7Ghz OC's to 4.4Ghz), and a Asus GeForce GTX 1960 Super(OC'd with Asus GPU Tweak 2). CPU temps maintaining at ~31° C idle and ~35-40° C load. GPU is overclocked at 2100Mhz, and still maintaining a load temp of ~60-68° C. Still testing the limits so far, but this is running very stable out of the box for several weeks. Honestly was worried about airflow and temps after reading some comments, but I'm modestly overclocking already and have so little issues with temps that I'm tempted to push it further...Pros: Easy space for 2 SSD, 2 SATA, 3 front fans, 2 top fans, 1 rear fan. The included fans were OK. Nothing great, but still moved decent airflow. I purchased extras for a total of 3 front fans, 2 top fans, a rear fan, and a nice DEEP COOL GAMMAXX 400 CPU fan. And I'm unable to overheat my system, even during a stress test. That CPU fan is highly recommended(I got the red LED version). The case fans I bought were super cheap, and still had zero issues with temps. The case offers a bunch of pre-installed cable routing systems, that really help with keeping cabling clean. As well as a bunch of rubber pass-through holes that allows you to route cables from one side of the case to the other.Cons: Not much. If you intend on using a water-cooled system, this doesn't support the usual preferred water cooled radiator at the top/exit. You'd have to install your radiator at the front/intake. Which isn't as ideal for a water cooled setup. So probably not ideal for radiator setups. But would still work. Honestly, with my experience so far with airflow and temps in this case, I don't think an elaborate water cool system is worth it for this case. If you want even better case airflow, look at the Eclipse P400A case with mesh front plate.Lighting: The lighting system that came with it was confusing at first, but ended up working very well. Note that the case has it's own lighting cabling that it natively connects to within the case, and is controlled by a button at the front of the case. It does not natively work with a motherboard's RGB connection. That confused me at first, but didn't turn out to be an issue. There is an optional piece you can purchase to make the case RGB work with a motherboard RGB input if you want. Otherwise to use the case light button, just connect everything together using the including adapters with the case.Overall, I can't be happier with this case. After I bought it, I read some additional reviews about airflow temps. Which worried me, but after installing decent fans(3 front 120mm intake, 2 top 120mm out, 1 rear 120mm out) I had very stable temps even during 4+ hrs of stress test gaming.Bottom line, the is probably the best case I've owned. Very sturdy. Parts are high quality. Cable routing is A+. With decent fans, airflow is top notch. Added bonus, it looks sexy as hell.

This was my first PC build and it couldn't have gone any smoother as far as the case is concerned. The person who was helping me out said this was a very easy case to build in in his experience. The case overall feels quite sturdy and has a great finish to it. The tempered glass looks amazing and is well worth it! The box (or whatever its called) along the bottom hides the power supply and 2 hard drives and gives the case a clean look. Your SSDs can be easily mounted on the right side of the case. I found cable management to be quite easy and I have ended up with a clean looking computer that I am very happy with.It comes with a magnetic LED strip that I stuck to the top of the case which provides just enough light for a pleasant glow without being too overpowering. A button on the case itself controls the colors of this strip and it cycles through a variety of colors.You can remove the front panel, but it takes more force than expected (or at least more than I was expecting).The only downside, is that the finish does seem to scratch if you move it around on its side on the desk, but not too bad. But I would be careful about placing it down and dragging it. You don't want anything too noticeable. I only have a very faint line but I dont' mind because its on the back side and I don't look on that side.

Beautiful case for cheap. The interior LED strip with the front panel control is a very nice touch that really completes the case and build. Great great case for a midrange build. The white interior went amazing with my color scheme and the LED adds a touch of class I hadn't even planned for. Definitely go for the tempered glass, its soo much clearer than acrylic and looks soo much better. I see why glass is the craze at the moment.The interior is very easy to work in, cable management is a breeze in this case as there are lots of clean pass throughs and mounts. Its also great for water cooling, there's plenty of space for a custom setup. I just used an AIO cpu cooler (H60) and was pleased to find I had a choice to mount it to the back, top, or front of the case without any sizing issues. I ended up mounting my AIO to the front to pull in cool air directly onto the radiator, plus the tubes look really clean going to the front of the case as they are the perfect length, very little slack but not tight in any way.
