      Don't believe the hype

      Coming from a nzxt h6 and a meshify from years ago I had high expectations considering all the reviews were so positive. I tried to build it and got stuck at a few spots and didn't end up finishing. Some my fault some on the case. Pros: it looks like the photos. Very light. Reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Fans drawing air in from the mesh panel is a nice idea. (You will need to buy fans) Cons: felt light and cheap. Not all the seems like up. Front cover feels cheap like it could break any time. Opposite of my nzxt experiences. It comes with 3 front 140 fans only. And they aren't even that good. Even tho a lot of people use the liquid freezer 3 360 on this I don't recommend it. It will barely fit front mount and with the tubes down. You'll need longer radiator screws to use 140mm fans. The radiator will have to go on the inside of the bracket and the fans on the outside. There will be a gap. This is probably not an issue but not ideal. Even with 120 fans any stock radiator screw is going to feel a little short. I tried the lf3 front mount with a ASRock 7900xtx and it's too long. The lf3 radiator is about 5mm thicker than most and the Asus card is a little long. Also you have to angle the card it and it will be difficult to straighten with a front mount radiator. This case should be air cooler or 240mm AIO only. You will need at least 4 more fans. Or replace all. I would replace all since artic fans are so inexpensive. Cable management isn't great or even good at all. I didn't think nzxt was that good until I tried this case. There should be another set of ties down the middle of the for your GPU cable routing to the PSU and even fan routing. Maybe the thermals are great? And it makes up for all this.

      Nice Minimalistic Design and Easy to Build In

      The case has a beautiful minimalistic design with brass accents that pop. The case was very easy to build in and has really nice features. The 240mm fans that come with the case are nice and quiet and the included disk drive dampers work really well and makes the spinning drive a lot quieter compared to my previous case. The included cable tidies are very concurrent and the cables for the buttons come cable managed. I only wish the case had a reset button at the top.
