I was lucky enough to win a competition for this case and thought i would do a review of it
So first thing that struck me when i took it out of the box was the solid front panel it has no space for the optical drive which for me is fine as i have not used a optical drive in years, and when you remove the front panel there is a dust filter. On the top front of the case there are two usb 3.0 ports, audio in/out/, power button (and LED) HDD activity LED and the reset switch . On the top behind the interface there are three module fan slot covers which are very easy to remove and they all have sound absorbing material which i thought was very useful. I do wish there was a dust filter on the top though.
On the base there are 4 black rubber feet plus another dust filter. I removed the windowed side panel which both panels have handy thumb screws which has no sound dampening material unfortunately, though i guess as the window is quite big i am not sure if any material on the available space would have made much of a difference. But when i saw inside i really got a idea of what type of case this is. There is a lot of space inside with no optical drive cage or Hard drive cages there is plenty of space for cooling options and even has pre drilled holes for pump mountings and has two 140mm fans that come with the case.
I removed the the other side panel (which does have sound dampening material ) and this is where you can put the hard drives enough space for 3 of the 3.5" drives on the left part and two 2.5" drives behind the motherboard trays. And i have to say i really like that set up as it makes things very neat with cable management as it has three velcro straps and quite a large slot for the cables to go through so would not get to cramped.
So overall i do like the case when everything is set up it is very neat and tidy and while i do not use water cooling i can see it would be handy though i would say though if you have a set up that has more then three 3.5 " drives then you might need to go for something that can hold them.
Also done a video on the case as well (which repeats whats mentioned here but shows footage of the case)
