A very nice enclosure and great for an ASUS Aura setup.
The enclosure is only "Aura-ready", so you have to buy the corresponding adapter.
The cable grommets are a little tight. If, for example, you want to use the ATX cable supplied with a Corsair power supply, where the individual cables are combined into a round, woven strand, then you can only just get through. (Possible solution: use a separate ATX cable or cable kit).
Basically, I am very satisfied with the unit, there is only one major point of criticism:
If you want to use a water cooling system with a larger radiator, you can only install it at the front.
The air supply at the front is at the top and bottom of the front panel respectively and after several months and various gaming sessions I can say that this is definitely undersized. I have to run the fans "at full throttle" so that all components are sufficiently cooled and then my PC sounds as if it is about to take off. The supplied air filters in particular increase the resistance drastically. However, if you want less dust in the case, removing them is not an option.
In that sense, you can also save the extra price of the "insulated" version, because you hear the fans anyway.
Two possible solutions:
- Use a smaller radiator that can be mounted on the top of the case. (Depending on the mainboard, however, it will be very tight).
- Buy additional air filters and mount them under the panel on the front instead of the small air inlets. (I will probably try this out).
Otherwise, buy another enclosure.

Brilliant enclosure, I am very satisfied with it. Besides the beautiful, high-quality design, it has enough space for clean cable management. Good insulation and therefore very quiet, the LED strip included in the scope of delivery is a nice plus. My build worked great, I can only recommend the enclosure.
