Well it's a Corsair case, wich is good, here are my pros and cons...
Pros:
1- Great cable management.
2- Really good Airflow.
3- Easy to connect SSD on the Bays.
Cons:
1- It doesn't have filters in the air intakes wich allows more dust inside of your PC.
2- Corsair HUB Controller was defective and didn't controlled the front LED and front fans. (See the attached picture to see what I'm talking about.
3- Extremelly complicated system with the screws to put the thermal side glass back when you take it away...you'll have to clean it in the outside and...be carefull with the little rubber sockets of the screws!
4- Press hard the power button if you don't want to see your Gaming PC turning off while starting up.

Tons of room for a beefy build. Definitely not the smallest mid tower on the market, which is a good thing. Even fit a 360mm radiator on the front panel with zero Fitment issues.

I got this case to get rid a larger case i had. Fits my 1080ti and 360mm AIO. RGB is beautiful as well.
Word of caution make sure to check your power supply length, if you have a longer power supply you won’t be able to use the hard drive trays located under the cover. It worked out for me because i use M.2 and SSD’s that can be mounted else where.

Horrible airflow

When buying this I thought this case would be amazing, but upon building and using the computer I found that the front panel of the case has horrible airflow. The whole front panel has only a 1-1/2 inch tall and 4-1/5 inch wide opening at the bottom for ventilation. For proper airflow you need to be able to pull air from the front and out the top and or back but it can’t even do that. If I could return this case and get any other one I would but it’s outside my return window. For the price you can get a much better NZXT OR Phantexs case.

This case looks great. There is a lot of mounting options for fans and a good amount of space overall. I have an MSI Ventus OC+ 2070 super and an MSI MPG X570 Gaming edge wifi board in it. It manages heat well and I have 4 case fans plus 2 fans on a 240mm AIO cooler. I wish the tempered glass had some sort of thumbscrew instead of Allen head but they have rubber grommets and fit well and safe. The backside, unfortunately, has no space for cable management and that is a challenge. I bought this on sale though and it came with two great Corsair Fans. I honestly highly recommend it.

First of all this case is stunning if you love RGB. I had another mid tower, and I must say this one was smaller in size. First of all you can fit 6 fans on this case, but it will only come with 2. I already had more than enough fans from the older case. You can attach all the fans to the commander pro hardware controller. There is also the question of the front not getting enough airflow. I suggest removing the glass panel in the front and replacing with mesh. There is no room to have a bluray player if you wanted to. The front RBG is going to light up in rainbow, and does not change. The box that covers your power supply has some screws on the left side that you must unscrew before sliding the cover off. The placement of the hard drives is also a bit weird. You got some spaces by the power supply, or on the left side there is 2 mounts for your drives. It was an easy installation.

Mixed feelings about this case

It's cool. Very colorful, especially with more fans added to it. However as others have said, I think airflow is not the greatest. It'd be better to just simply take off the front panel, but if doing so you still have cords that connect to it to deal with. If you do that, be careful because the snaps that hold it in may break.
Also the tempered glass is nice, but I already lost one of the things that separates the screw from directly touching the glass. When taking off the glass, you almost have to put the PC down flat, because if you happen to lose grip, that glass could fall, and it only has like a small ledge there to rest on.
Fans cant be placed on the very top panel either for some reason. Also no room for CDROM.
Overall, it's a nice case, but if I had a second choice I'd aim less style and more practical. I don't really like using a USB CD drive... This is my first time buying a case though and the bust buy guy said it was a good one. I didn't know much about it, and once it was put together (a couple times, after testing fan locations) I didn't want to go through the work of taking it all apart and stuff.

Pretty decent case, feels well constructed and the rgb looks fantastic. There are two cons that are coming to mind. The first con would be things can get cramped depending on cooling method you choose. I chose an AIO liquid cooler instead of a heat sink and things got a little cramped but If you are just using a heat sink there is more than enough room.
The second and probably the more irritating Con also has to do with liquid cooling. There isn’t enough room to mount the radiator and fans to the top the of the case if you want to also install RAM. So you have to use the front which has significantly less airflow.
First world problems

The Acrylic panel in front really restricts flow. I had to remove it. The plastic is cheap and will break. It comes with a ssd holder in the back panel and when removing my ssd it just snapped... The ability to cable manage is practically non existent. If you had a 360 radiator to the front you will have problem snapping the front back on. The clips will get caught. If you arent worried about breathability, and cable management than its a great case. The RGB is GORGEOUS. Though the 2 fans that come with the case leave some to be desired. NOT WORTH 165$. I would return if I could, but pieces have broken off already.

Hello,
The plastic isn't cheap nor will break if treated as it should be, with care. If you need pictures of this case being used in a nice build with professional looking cable management, pics are available on Google/PcPartPicker.

We got this case for my wife since she finally wanted her own PC build, and this was the case she wanted. With all of the other RGB lights in it, the case glows like a nice christmas tree. The glass panel on the side is great to see the inside glow as well.
This thing is rather big, but still feels great

This case made set-up of my computer pretty easy. The cable management on the backside of the computer is pretty tight but as long as you manage your cables it should be just fine. I used a Crosshair Hero VIII motherboard an found it impossible to replace the cable shroud on the bottom the USB ports got in the way.

Just Enough RGB

While all the craze seems to be " Let's see how bright we can make your rig" The Led strip down the front was perfect for me. I moved the 2 fans to the top as it can breathe. I was only able to place a full 360mm radiator upfront but the front has a clear plexi with a very small opening for air movement. I would have loved to see the same metal mesh from the top placed on the front.

If you are planning on building a PC computer and want to show off all the components which style this case for you. Well designed and well laid out for the RGB World Colors functionality and airflow it’s also a good way to show off your components that way when people say you don’t have money there money you can say here’s where were at into.
