Firstly, let's address some other reviews about airflow.. I'm using a GTX 1080 ti strix edition, my card runs around 65C during intense gameplay. I flipped the two 200mm fans on the top to exhaust and have zero temp issues. Airflow is fine if you know how to do it properly.
Secondly, this case is huge, definitely not a mid tower, you can fit any other mid tower case inside of this case with room to spare. Just look at the photos and how small those 200mm fans look.
Third, the doors are magnetic, in some other reviews out there, people have had issues with doors not closing due to cable management. I'm using a non-modular power supply with 30cm cable extensions and have had zero issues with the doors closing, even without using zip ties.
The build quality is a solid and you definitely get what you pay for. The MSI fan controller hub is solidly placed and extremely easy to use.
I feel like negative reviews of this case are fake as I can't find any flaws if you actually do your research before ordering. 10/10

I've been building PC's since about 2006. This by far was a splurge but very worth it. I had a huge case before with the NZXT Phantom but it was old and didn't have a lot of the new age holes pre-built for this era. There is plenty of room in this thing. This is also my first tempered glass case and it is very aesthetically pleasing to say the least. My last case was clear plastic and I always loved looking into my case but with this glass it's so premium it feels like mildly tinted Audi A5 windows. The cable management is also superbly done. The fans are whisper quiet and the leds can change on their own or be controlled by the motherboard with a simple 3 second hold on the top LED button. I can't speak anymore highly of this case. Of note, I only purchased this case because I was hindered by the small amount of room in my NZXT Noctis 450 ROG. I wanted a 2080Ti GPU really bad but it would not fit into my last case. I was never hindered by a case before so after 2 years with the Noctis I wanted something big enough to never be hindered again! 10 out 5 stars if I could!

This case has plenty of room, I have an ASRock fatal1ty mb and this case has plenty of room. I'm planning on doing a custom loop soon and this case should have more than enough room. The led button makes it easy to change the fan colors.

I really love the size. There is a lot of room in the case. The only thing I don't like about the case is i had to buy another part for it to run off the Mystic lighting since it will not work with my MSI motherboard. For the lighting to work properly you need to connect it to the 4 pin 12 v on the motherboard not the 3 pin 5 v.

This case is disgustingly huge. I have so much room for activities. There are 4 mounts for HDDs right there on the left side making the cables pop out right next to the psu and making it insanely easy to set up. This is my first pc I have built, and it has been like adult legos with endless space. Oh, and there is also room to install 3 SSD cards making this case beg for as much storage as you can afford. I love it.

The case does a well job keeping your components cool. Using a i7-9700k, 32gb 3500mhz ram, msi gaming edge motherboard. The 4 200mm fans do a great job. After a 4-5 hour gaming sessio, temps were under 70 degrees C. The only thing I don’t like is I can’t control the rub through the mystic light app. There is a button on top of the case that changes the color.

I purchased this case to do a new AMD build and love this case! Filled it with an x570 MSi Meg Ace motherboard, a Ryzen 7 3800x processor, and a vertical mounted MSi RTX 2080 Ti gpu! Plenty of room for extra fans and even a case action figurine.
If you need a case with options and incredible aesthetics, look no further... Buy this case.

Plenty of room to work and it looks great! They include wire management straps and with a little creativity you can make everything nice and neat. Definitely on the large but just check the dimensions to make sure it will work for you.
IMPORTANT:
the fans on the top will need to be flipped over. Its shipped with the front 2 200mm AND the top 2 200mms set to intake air with only the small 120 to exhaust. I simply flipped the top fans over to exhaust and my temps are great! Super high quality HEAVY case too, this is the best value in my opinion.

Make sure you play your cables right and use a modular power supply. Also, it can get hot in there. I have a Ryzen 7 3800x. Only using the fans coming with the box, I Moved the fans all directions And it is still getting over 85c in all stress test I’ve done. Normal fans speed will go over 95c for sure. The heating problem is not too bad, it is an easy fix at any time. The box is awesome though. LED light’s control can be handle with a push of a button with beautiful performances. I love the box. I’ll recommend it to anybody.

This case was a impulse purchase when my case did not arrive with the other components of my first pc build. It looks awesome but as I upgrade the pointless decorative fans failed. It became a heater and I have had to go all AIOs, even buying the evga kit for my 3080 ftw3 ultra. Even after that temps would get to high and I actually had to replace all the fans because they were going bad. I did this with noctua fans and put spacers under the glass with custom air filters. Just go lian li and forget msi on anything except gpus. Even that I will try to never buy.

*Pros Price, 4 120mm RGB fans with RGB controller included along with a Header adapter for the 3 front fans if you do not have enough RGB headers on the motherboard. The case has a awesome way to take off the side panels, you remove the top then the sides slide out and out. Tempered glass is nice and clear no small imperfections.
*Had been looking for a case for my new build with great air flow. I had looked at a few Corsair cases most only came with three RGB fans and one standard fan this one came with four. This was the size I wanted and it had four fans and the case was the cost of a 4 pack of RGB lighting..
The case has tons of room to add a liquid cooler, Lots of room for my 1660 ti to breath and we all know AMD runs hot. Super buy.
*Cons only two and not to big of a deal breaker. One fan header on the controller was bad but the controller had another free spot and works just fine, And wish the screw quality was a little better threads are not all cut the greatest But have seen the same quality in other cases.

My last case was a basic iBuyPower Mid-Tower and I had been wanting something a little bigger for a while so when I saw this one and people were saying it was large I really didn't believe them. I purchased it recently and holy crap they were right! I love having room to expand and put things on the inside of my case and now I am actually able to do that!
It has vertical mounting capabilities for the graphics card which means I can FINALLY show off my beautiful 1080 Ti and the magnetic doors make it the easiest case I have ever worked with by far. I have never had an MSI case before but man I am not going back now.
This case comes with 5 built in fans and the cables are already managed nice and neat which is amazing and the fact that it has 4 USB 3.0 slots on the top to go along with the 4 already on my mobo makes my life so much easier when it comes to VR gaming.
Overall very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to literally anyone that asks because it is truly the best case that I have ever had.
PS the RBG fans have SO MANY OPTIONS when it comes to choosing colors that I spent an hour deciding which setting I liked the most.

Preface: I love this case
Biggest Con:
The "manual" is hot garbage. Using the MSI overview page for the MPG SEKIRA 500X gave me more information about anything than the single page "instructions" and I strongly suggest you do the same.
Other Cons first in no order of frustration:
1. Tool less side panels are very smooth however they are lift off hinges with no locking mechanism so I suggest taking them off entirely when doing any installations.
2. The top fans may be pulling air in instead of pushing out which is going to be a whole scenario for anyone using the included top radiator bracket (does also support a 2 fan front radiator as well)
3. since the back side panel is also tool less magnetic you're going to have to really do some cable management to make sure it closes properly. strongly recommend a modular PSU
4. fan control cables are all the same length as expected but including at least 1 fan control extender would have been nice or better yet having the top 2 and front 2 connected to a single merging cable.
5. the pre-done cable management for the rgb and front io ports ext is great, it just so happens that it covers the 3 vertical squish cable ports so you'll be taking that apart anyway.
PROS:
1. Mystic light sync is simple. The controller that came with the case has 2 spare free ports which worked out great. it has it's own set of configs or you can hold down the led button for 4 seconds and it will sync to MSI mystic lights software. I'm sure I can do more with it but I haven't started.
2. The squishy cable ports everywhere.
3. hdd mounting is a breeze and actually has enough room in the back for connectors.
4. Front IO is beautiful. no reset button finally.
5. Just about everything is steel as far as I can tell. no flimsy aluminum parts to bend.
6. the base of the case is actually about an inch hollow (the width of the mesh grating, and includes I believe 2 attached air filters)
7. SSD mounts on the back as well as inside the main hub.
8. It's dang beautiful and elegant. even if I haven't removed the peels.
P.S.Absolutely no swag :'(

Bought this case roughly 10 months ago and absolutely love it. Definitely great build quality and materials. Plenty of room in this case for anything and cable management is easy to do as well. The tool-less glass side panels are amazing making it very easy to work with.

Terrible RGB cables, Okay fans, Great Case

I'd probably give this case a 4 or 5 star review but the quality of the RGB connectors could not be any worse than they are. They need to be taped together or they fall out. They are not up to Corsair or Cooler Master quality.
I had to crimp the female ends of some of the cables to get a solid connection. The front fan has a stuck LED.
The MSI AIO's RGB cable seems to frequently go out and flicker, but it suffers from the same poor quality as the case does. Also, it won't even fit into the hub on the case.
Something that seems to confuse people are the top fans. They are exhaust fans according to support, even though they look like intake fans. Many people seem to flip them around. Documentation does not mention anything about this.
I found my AIO ran about 8 C cooler mounted on the front with no impact to the GPU, but you are limited to a 240 configuration.
I may replace the fans, hub and AIO with Corsair components.

This is no way a mid, lol this is a full tower. The only ding is that I have one dead fan on the tome in the front, that one lights up with the unit, however it was causing a fan error on my system... Trying to reach out to MSI regarding that to see if there's a way to remove it without much hassle and then I'll just have them send me a replacement, if it's a lot of hassle dealing with the case, then I'll just more than likely try to get a replacement at Bestbuy.. definitely keeping it if possible.

First off it has to be said, this case is huge, it is gigantic, it is literally over twice the size of a normal mid tower case. I knew it would be big having multiple 200mm fans but it is just gratuitous how over sized this case is.
Now I could overlook the size if it did what you would think a case with 4 200mm fans would do great and provided amazing airflow for your components but it does not, at all. In fact even at 100% fan speed on all 5 fans I could barely feel air being moved inside the case and could not feel any air whatsoever being moved from outside the case, there is something seriously wrong with either the design of this case or the included fans, my guess is probably both. Opening the side glass panel you could feel the accumulation of all the heat pouring out just from the PC running idle which is just the definition of a terrible case. I didn't even feel comfortable playing games with my PC built in this case, I ran a short benchmark and my gpu instantly jumped to 72C and continued to rise until I stopped it less than a minute later.
I gave the case 1 star for being very easy to build in but even then I would give it half a star for that if I could since even being so ludicrously large there was more space for cables behind the motherboard in my old mid tower and I really had to struggle to make room to close the back glass panel and even then it was barely shut.
I gave it another star for it's looks, they aren't functional whatsoever but the giant rgb fans and overall design is pretty nice, which is the main reason I got the case. If there was a normal sized version of this case that actually worked it would be great.
I felt I had to write a review since I haven't seen any others out there but felt anyone interested would definitely want to know what I experienced with this case. I give 1.5 stars, I honestly wouldn't use this case if it was given to me free and it is being returned to the store asap.
