Perfect Budget Build Case!!
Bought this for my first PC Build and it works wonders!! It's large and gorgeous and has all the features I needed in a beginner budget PC. The integraed RGB fans are gorgeous and are able to sync up with my TUF motherboard to all change in sync. The touch buttons are reliable and the fans are EXTREMELY quiet. I hear nothing when it turns on. The tempered glass came unscathed and is goregous window into the PC.

Really good and worth it trust me
I am starting to build my PC and I went with this case. There was like 2 reviews and I was really not sure if it was gonna be what I thought. However it turned out to be better. Cable management is so good and easy it has 4 slots for ssd’s it can fit VXS motherboards (who’s is what I have). It comes with two rgb fans. The cristal panel feels solid(like a cristal table type thing) and it has a black frame with I believe gives it a really good quality look. It’s also really easy to open and remove all he parts and all. Overall a really nice quality case, tall and nice looking

Great compact case
I was looking for an inexpensive case that I could display my RGB components. It is able to accommodate a 280mm cooler in the front, but you need to remove the drive cage. I ended up going with a 140mm cooler and keeping the cage. I also needed to do this to allow for a y1080 graphics card. Nice layout and able to hide most of the wires. Will post pics later. The only thing I wish it had was a transparent front cover. Airflow is good and no problems with over heating.

Hindsight is 20 / 20
I must've been crazy when I initially reviewed this case. I take it all back, and can't in good conscience leave up the original review.This case is terrible, and my components only lasted a little over a year in it. I reviewed it before I completed my build, so things changed rather abruptly later on when I started swapping out test parts for the planned build.1. The standoffs are much too soft, so I couldn't remove my board when I needed to, and that complicated things with my intended cooler. I finger screwed them in and they STILL got stuck right away. Since my board was already installed, it was impossible to remove it because the screws just spun in place instead of coming out.2. The front cover blocks more light from the fans than expected. Pretty though it may be, don't expect to really see your front fans if you want a more colorful setup.3. The rear panel puts too much pressure on the cables because of how tight this case is. It doesn't allow room for the stock cables, the front panel control cables are bulky and run down an awkward path that blocks other cables that need to get across, and they're stiff. This makes it easy to accidentally pull them off the header while you're building. The pressure on the cables also degrades the cables. This case has cost me a non-modular PSU by ruining the 24 pin mobo cable because it lacked the room to accommodate it, that consequently blew my mobo, and that destroyed a new CPU. Hit me for almost $400 in repairs before I realized that the case was the culprit. Got a new case from another brand and my cables are in a safer environment.4. The power button is funky. It's not a good shallow one, it needs to be pressed in. This would be fine if it went in evenly; it doesn't. You'll barely see it sink in diagonally, but pressing it in is more like a hinged door than a standard button. I could get over it feeling unpredictably weird, but I can't get over it failing to turn on the build if the angle of approach isn't just right.5. The front panel is pretty, but it doesn't let the system breathe as much as it should. Form over function isn't better, and my new case looks just as good while offering me peek airflow.6. The dust filters have unfinished edges, so they'll catch on everything during cleaning.7. The PCI slots are a few millimeters off, so lining up GPU's and expansion cards can make one uneasy. The covers also pop off instead of being secured with screws. So, if you accidentally pop off the wrong one(s), you'll be buying new covers to fill the void. Also, you lose the option to remove them while your motherboard is in. So, if you're planning to make additions, that stuck motherboard is almost guaranteed to be damaged during the process.8. The SSD mounts are built to slot in but they don't slot in anywhere. That's annoying. So, they just slide side-to-side when any pressure is on them. That's not a good thing for SSD health or the cables attached to them.9. There's no cable door, so you'll be taking the long route to connect everything, which does nothing to preserve the lives of your cables that are already being pinched by the rear panel.10. The HDD cover leaves hardly any room for the PSU, making cable management that much worse, and you have to work from the bottom of the case to remove it. I recommend removing it and just sticking with mounted SSD's so that you can use the empty space for cable storage.11. Plan to air cool or direct the tubing for your AIO towards the front, or it'll fall victim to friction against your rear fan if you can't bind them properly. Some tubes are really stiff, so expect to reverse mount or front mount your radiator just to be safe.12. If you're epileptic like I am, the power / working LED's are going to flash a lot. You won't be able to change this unless you can disconnect them or cover them up; I've tried.Loads of mistakes with the design of this case, and it being pretty is the only reason it has a second star coming from me now. It's otherwise terrible, not recommended, and has permanently soured me on the brand. I will NEVER buy a single thing from this manufacturer ever again. The problems probably won't be fixed on future products by the time I'm ready to start any of my future builds, and by the time they're even addressed, I'll have fully converted to a different brand and won't have any interest in giving this company another chance. Just spend the money on a 4000D, or something. It'll save you hundreds in the end.
