Customers frequently mention the excellent airflow, spacious interior, and ease of cable management as significant advantages. Many appreciate the high-quality build and the aesthetic appeal of the tempered glass panels and RGB lighting. However, some users note that the side panels can be challenging to remove, and the case's weight is a factor for some. A few customers also mention the price point as relatively high.

Overall, this is a high quality case. It's plenty big if you want to add a bunch of fans, and is easy to dis-assemble if you need to make any changes internally. It comes with a ton of velcro straps to make cable management a breeze. Its a bit pricey, but the included fans/hubs make it worth it, IMO.

This case is really a display case which presents the electronic beauty of a computer build. Behind the tinted tempered glass the build is seen with unsightly wiring hidden behind panels. The cable management system in the rear is very good. Cable accommodations with the HDD cage in place and a 180mm PSU are tight. The cage must be moved all the way to the left. The case is rated to take a 220mm PSU but I think the HDD cage would have to go. The spacious front interior is easily ventilated and it invites an emphasis on RGB lighting. It comes with a iCUE lighting node core module for lighting for the 3 fans, but not fan speed control. Fan speed control requires a Commander Core and fans that support speed control. I don't believe that the fans that come with the case do support remote speed control, but the fans with the iCUE H150i Elite Capellix liquid cooler certainly do as do the QL 120 RBG fans I also installed. One of the original case fans did have to be sent to Corsair RMA because it made a tapping sound, and I am waiting for the return. Other than that all the fans are ultra quiet and can barely be heard. Everything fits together so precisely. Once learned how. the side panels are removed and reattached very easily. They snap in place and are secured by thumb screws that don't fall off, they stay with the panel. One downside of the panels is that they are glass and do require some careful handling. However Corsair does sell replacements. There are so many thoughtful touches with this case. A removable door opens to reveal the wiring. The filters are easily removed for cleaning. This case is a large midsize and I think Corsair should think about carrying this design over to a full size case. This is a wonderful PC case and I think Corsair hit a homerun with it and the entire 5000 line.

This is an amazing case. It was the right size to fit my 4090. Which is a big beast of a card and still have plenty of room for the three front fans. The built in fans connected right with the Corsair switch board for the I Que software. They have really good colors so you don’t have to worry about replacing those. The white looks much better than black in my opinion and makes all the RGB colors pop even more. The side panels come off very easy and everything is accessible more so than other cases I’ve owned. I give this a 10 out of 10. Size is good, quality is very good, and ascetics are stellar. You can’t go wrong with this case.
