Fractal Design is now my favorite computer case manufacturer simply because of the Pop Air. I love how there's a full-length power supply shroud, second case compartment, multiple color and RGB options, configurable 2.5" and 3.5" internal drive holders, and two external 5.25" drive bays hidden behind a removable panel. I built my custom PC with a Toyota key ignition assembly which took up the 5.25" bays. It would have been nice to have a dedicated slot for a slimline optical drive, but I suppose my use case is pretty niche.

The case itself is surprisingly amazing for a great airflow, forgiving cable management, and it has two 5.25 bays for DVD and others. However you need to plan your cable management correctly because I have a graphic card 4060 that is pretty long it touches my sata port connected I have to arrange them where the pin headers are. Also there is no pin header for the hdd light pin header, and a reset switch which isn't a big deal for me.

Used this for a modern Ryzen/Radeon build including a DVD drive, and it has worked out very nicely.
Build quality is fantastic, cooling potential is good, and of course, it comes with a pair of stealthed 5.25" bays.
Looks good in a pretty understated way (no RGB on this one) but plenty of space and thought was put into good cable management.

Very nice case to build in. Good quality materials as well. My only complaint is the fact that it does not come with USB-C, it comes with the slot and a blocking plate where it goes. You have to buy the $10 dollar kit to add it on to the front IO. Still not a bad value for the price.

This case is exactly what my son wanted - a modern PC case with a slot for a 5.25" CDROM. The only issue that we had with the case was the mounting mechanism for the CDROm was a little wonky, but we got it resolved on the second attempt.
