Perfect size for serioues systems
Pros: Space, Air Flow, Configuration, Design, Quality
Cons: Panel removal, fingerprint magnet
First off, I own this case. Bought it from NewEgg. It was a little high in price but worth every cent.
Space!!! If you were to remove the HDD cage, you could mod a tray for an mATX mobo along side and ATX...
If you want to SLI of CrossFire, you'll have no issues with heat as long as you place your giant side panel fan over the cards.
There is enough room up top for the thickest of rads up to 360mm long. Romoval of the HDD cage allows the placement of a 240mm rad with push/pull and plenty of space for another res, graphics card headroom.
Lifted feet on the bottom let this case pull cool air from the ground and exhaust it out the top and rear. Works even better if you put a 240mm down their. (Has a removable screen to clean dust, careful it's flimsy)
Mobo tray has tons of grommets for cable management and there is plenty of space behind it for excess wires. Supports just about any mobo with holes in it.
Fans... there is about $100 worth of fans in this case... 3x 240mm 5x 140mm... They are whisper silent too and move a ton of air.
Powersupply can either be mounted up top or on bottom... I have mine on the bottom and the top PSU cover plate removed so I can keep an eye on my hose connecting to my XSPC RS240 and Raystorm block.
Top dock has a hot swap bay and 2x USB 3.0 ports, 4x USB 2.0 and your mic in/sound out. (Hot swap bay doubles as junk holder)
Plenty of hose cut outs on the rear with grommets in case you want to run your rads outside. You won't be able to mount them outside on the top because of the mesh.
Tool free bays are nice, but I would recommend screws if you experience vibration.
Fan hubs are totally sweet!!! I think it's a total of 10 fans can be linked to them and powered by 1 molex.
Red LED's are SICK!!!
As for cons... well... not a lot.
Side panels are a PAIN to remove... Same with the front and top covers... Have to remove front and top to take out the top 2 fans... Once again, the panels are EXTREMELY difficult to remove, you may scratch or dent them while trying to put them back on. Good news is you don't need to put the thumbscrews back in them lol
The mesh on the side panel is nice, but not appealing. It's neat that you can place 9x 120mm fans on them... but nobody wants to... I'd like to place 2 of the giant fans on it but the screw hole pattern is atrocious and wont allow it...
Overall, this is the only case I will ever need. I am not going to buy another ever again for my main rig.
Very nice quality control and workmanship.
This is perfect for gaming and extreme performance
I HIGHLY recommend this case to anyone! Except you lot using small mobos...
