This case is sexy. My only very minor complaint is I wish the door behind the motherboard tray had slightly more room to fit cables that are in the pre-defined cable routing location a couple millimeters of extra room would have saved me some headache getting the door to stay latched.
As the title states, its a pretty damn nice case, airflow is great, cable management is easy and appealing, and its a very open case. Only complaint would be make sure you like the look of a tall tower case, I personally like the box type cases but overall it looks so good that I cant even complain.

A nice case but if you're going to run the best tech inside it, expect high temperatures and lots of noise. I have 6 fans, liquid cooling/radiator on CPU and to keep down to around 86 degrees I need to remove a side panel, which actualy reduces noise as the fans don't have to work as hard (but not ideal for dust, accidental damage and aesthetics etc). I am very pleased with the look and feel and the build was easy with plenty of cable management options. It has the wow factor and is fine for everyday work and light gaming but start to run any graphics demanding game (Cyberpunk, Arc Raiders, Borderlands 4) and it becomes rather warm and rather noisy.
The top bracket is unnecessary and inconvenient especially when using an AIO the room for cable management is non existent. There are no pre installed fans for your above average price point the only good thing about the case is the design but honestly not really worth it
