I bought this as a replacement for a smaller Cooler Master case which I honestly wasn't that impressed with (the smaller case jammed the PSU directly on top of the CPU cooler, etc.), this case is much better layed out even in regard to smaller cases. For one, the GPU is NOT directly on top the motherboard so both are easier to fit and don't make nearly the dust catcher other cases I've seen do.

I'm just using it with a double-slot GPU, BUT increasingly a lot of heavy duty GPUs are requiring three slots so I thought it was a nice touch, especially if you intend to keep your build for a while, to give a three slot opening (it also means a little breathing room at the bottom of the case if you don't actually need all three slots, etc.)

Everything is well labeled and packaged. The metal has been nicely cut and I didn't see or feel any sharp edges. Vents everywhere, great for airflow, but I worry about dust and debris getting inside since there aren't any filters on the back or side.

I thought they sent me frosted side panels. Turns out there's a protective film on the acrylic that's just really hard to get off.

This is such a clean looking case with a minimalist design and more than enough ventilation to keep your CPU cool. With its clear panels, it might look delicate but the steel chassis feels completely solid and rugged. Construction quality and finishing is absolutely superb.

Access to the case is excellent as both panels are easily removable. There's plenty of ventilation on the top, bottom, back, and hardware side. Whatever CPU and cooling combination you choose, you can be certain that airflow will be almost completely unrestricted.

This is going to make a nice home for my next build. Recommended.
