> 3 dayDefinitely a great mid-ATX case for any PC builder looking for an airflow type case. There is a fan hub on the back that makes it so only one fan header is needed for all three fans, which is great if you have a cheap motherboard with few headers. It will have enough space for what ever you decide to do with it and it does have hooks for zipties or velcro on the back. However, it is a little tight on the bottom for cables after you put the PSU in, but you should be able to shove everything in just right. I would definitely buy this case again, and its a great deal with the three A-RGB fans and fan hub. There are about 6 or 7 A-RGB headers on the fan-hub so if you have any more A-RGB fans, you can plug them in there as well.

> 3 daySadly, just as I had completed my build, the corner of the glass side panel slipped from my hand about 1 inch from the countertop and it shattered instantly. Im not sure if it was because of the composition of the panel, or maybe it was just the perfect angle of the fall. The panel seems a bit lighter than other cases Ive had, so it may not be real tempered glass. Either way, Im leaving this review not so much to complain but to say the customer service was great. I contacted customer support on the Lian Li website and after I sent them a photo of the break and my Amazon receipt, they responded within a few minutes, and agreed to send a new panel within about 3 hours of my message. The rest of the case is fantastic, which is why I give it a high rating despite the break. Its compact and is designed perfectly for discreet cable management. Its a tight fit with my non-modular PSU, but I was able to tuck everything away neatly. Everything seems easily accessible, and I didnt have to spend time battling the case itself to start building.

> 3 dayThis is a major upgrade over my previous case, the Corsair Spec-01, purchased back in late 2015. The quality of life and ease of install vs. the Spec-01 are night and day. The cable management is all around much, much cleaner thanks to the larger amount of space provided. This is a bigger, more expensive case. As such the build quality is increased, probably even beyond the $30 difference between the Spec-01 and this case. It feels very solid, the metal is thicker and there is more of it. Less plastic, 2 fans, tempered glass and magnetic filters. Plus decent airflow. This is a case I can see myself keeping for the next 5-10 years and Im very glad its the one I ended up purchasing.

> 3 dayGreat case if youre going for an AIO to cool, but if youre going air cooling you may want to look for a different case. as the front panel is very closed off and thus restricts airflow. Also, it does not come with all the fans needed. you will need to buy more for the top. I had to buy 2 140mm fans for the top. I was able to get the NZXT Kraken 280mm AIO to fit in the proper orientation in the front panel. Its a very very tight fit though, but it does fit. The 280 did not fit in the top of the case as it hits the motherboard. so you may want to look at a 240 for the top of the case. The Asus 3070 fits as well. Might be a little tight with a 3 fan card with the AIO in the front, but you will have to test that on your own. Great cable management in the back of the case and underneath as well.

> 3 dayAwesome Tower I made a destiny build, slapped a destiny 2 logo on the front panel, a Ghost replica on top.. Chucked in an Rtx 2080 super in there, threw in a ryzen 7 7300x, Slapped on an ASUS rog Strix b450f When i powered on...

Thats my pc

> 3 dayI originally got this because of its sleek and stylish look. The flat surfaces and black color are a minimal and timeless design that no one else seems to be doing without charging $100+. The internal design is pretty standard. If youve built a PC before, then you know where everythings supposed to go and what the holes are all for. Unfortunately, this is where it gets bad. The spaces that they designate for the drives are so small and thoughtless that I have to wonder what rulers they were using to measure the case. For context, I had two 2.5 SSD drives and a 3.5 HDD drive I wanted to install. There are two spots for 2.5 drives on the back of the motherboard tray. One of these slots is underneath a side lip meant to mount the outer wall on and is impossible to get the drive in there to screw it on properly. I ended up not even bothering and just taped the second SSD onto a random spot in the case. Now for the more egregious part. The drive cage for the 3.5 drives was too small. In the pictures for this specific product, their cage looks fine (its the box thing next to the battery on the bottom). The one I got was a tight metal cage with a plastic tray squeezed in there to the point where the tray was permanently deformed. The plastic tray could be stretched to fit my HDD on it, but then it wouldnt slide into the cage as intended. What the hell? I definitely DO NOT want my hard drive wiggling around anywhere, and now I have nowhere to properly screw it onto the case. Two out of three drives are secured in place with a despicable amount of tape which shouldnt be needed in the first place. I have to say it again - what rulers did they use to measure this case? Are my drives supposed to be malleable pieces of crap just to fit them into this case? Overall, the hassle with the drives makes me doubt the integrity and tolerances for the rest of the case.

> 3 dayCase was just as described. Very clean and sharp looking, and has a decently premium feel. The only issue was that one of the USB ports on the front panel was warped when I received the product. Tried to slightly bend it back but it’s still non-functional. Slightly disappointed that the port arrived damaged and unusable but the rest of the case is top-notch. Update: I contacted the seller via their website and a representative reached out to arrange a replacement front IO panel. Amazing customer service on their part.

> 3 dayThis case is so good. It love the color and my having to build with it is even better. 10/10 I would recommend it. ALSO, the cleaning? excellent.

> 3 dayI made my first PC build a couple of months ago with this case, and after all these months of having it, I don’t regret buying it. It’s not difficult to manage everything you need in it. It’s very forgiving for the sizes of your parts (and I have a questionably sized graphics card). Very easy to wire manage and being a simple design that’s easy to customize. I don’t regret buying it.

> 3 dayBuilt a computer in 2021 with this case. Really cheap case price-wise but did not feel cheap when building. Everything seemed to fit and go together well. Came with 2 120mm fans, which keeps my computer running cool. I may upgrade to more fans but thats a personal preference. I would suggest this case for a smaller form factor PC build. You can fit up to a 315mm GPU in this case!
