A very beautiful case. Simple in design and yet beautiful to look at.
Easy to install with the very good instructions.
Many screws are included for HDDs, SDD, mainboard, etc.
A maximum of 3.5 HDDs can be installed. The newer ones can usually be fitted with max. 2 3.5 HDDs. The old 3.5 HDDs can still be used.
The RGB fans can be controlled with my mainboard.
Top price-performance ratio.

I installed the case with an ASUS TUF X570 Gaming and an Enermax LiqFusion 240. I couldn't be more satisfied. The display window looks enormously large and classy. The RGB elements are well distributed throughout the room. The hard disk indicator is integrated in the power switch, visually very pretty. Because the power supply is on top, the cable tangle looks different than usual, but could easily be tamed. Airflow is very good, nothing gets excessively hot. By far the best case for a 240mm RGB water cooling system at a reasonable price. A clear buy recommendation.

I'm always extremely annoyed that when I open it up, I can hardly close it because there's hardly any room for the wiring at the back. I would definitely not buy it again.
So it's all well and good

Here, too, the cable laying is a bit tedious ...

As already written in the pros and cons review, the case is really well made and looks very elegant. The SSD mount plate between the MB and the front panel can be removed very easily for the installation of additional fans or a cooling radiator. For everything else, the case is really big enough and you don't have any trouble routing the cables nicely - at least most of the time.
The power supply for the CPU can be a bit tedious, depending on the MB, so that the cables are not visible. To do this, you have to force the cables for the 8-pin connector(s) through between the rear panel and the power supply unit. Depending on the type of cable, this can be difficult. With an extension cable, such as the one from Silverstone, it works quite well, as the blades are all tied individually. With standard cables from power supply units that are rounded together, however, this is really difficult.
In my opinion, the biggest disadvantage is the noise. The hum of the fans is unfortunately quite audible. My old case (Deepcool Matrexx) with the Intertech Argus fans was much quieter.

I bought this case and found out that my RTX 2080 TI from MSI does not fit in when I also mount a 240 radiator next to the mainboard on the wall. Normal graphics cards up to 31cm as well as RTX 2070 Super from Asus fit in very well.

Generally a good case. The only problem for me is that if you attach an Aio (NZXT X53) to the front right side, graphics cards no longer fit from about 30 cm. You could attach the Aio to the bottom but then you take away the main air intake.... Otherwise a good case

Absolutely cool, simple and elegant case with plenty of space. The RGB fans also look great. I can't say much about the noise level, this is the first PC I've assembled in a long time, so I don't have a reference. However, I find them pleasant and would classify them as rather moderately quiet, you can hear them but they are not disturbing. But that is probably very subjective...
For cable management, the case is a real joy, everything can be stowed away nicely and almost invisibly. It is very advantageous that the power supply unit is installed from the other side in the upper area.

The case is very clean in the sense that it doesn't look extreme but is still nice. The problems for me are nr.1 the space, they say it has enough space for a loop, but if you screw an AIO on the side you have the problem that a triple fan gpu like my 5700xt only fits very barely. Prooblem Nr.2 No usb 2.0 ports, it simply lacks usb 2 ports, which would be very useful in the bluetooth area.

Even though I really like the design of the case, I unfortunately have to part with it because it doesn't meet the requirements. My RTX 3070 (31.8cm) had no space in front of the fans on the side panel until I painstakingly cut out the plastic nesting from one fan with a kitchen knife. The water cooling system also had nowhere to fit and is now on the floor (very bad for the CPU). In addition, the airflow of the case is not particularly good, but this is to be expected when the top and front are completely closed.
If you have a shorter graphics card (under 30cm), the case is certainly a good buy. Really beautiful, well made and has all the ports you need on top.

Good case and good quality, especially for such a cheap case.
