Beware of "Like New" amazon warehouse deal!
By Connie F. on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2021
I gave the product 5 stars because I at least got the case, it's nice, and I'm already familiar with the Corsair iCue fans. It will be a nice case once I get a fully functional item. The glass in the front and the side panel is very thick, thicker than any other tempered glass panels I've seen on other cases, and I've built a Lot of PCs. Bought this listed as Like New directly from Amazon.com, Amazon Warehouse as a mother's day gift for my girl, the listing said the only issue would be the packaging would be damaged. All we got was an empty shell, no fans, no Core lighting node, no installation hardware like mobo standoffs and screws, the 2 removable hard drive bays that you can access from the back were missing, and the dust filter on top was also missing. The cost of replacing all these items would probably be as much, or more, than just paying full price, ridiculous! But the worst part was how happy my girl was to get it in the first place, and how excited she was to see it light up, it was going to be a great grand finale for her mother's day, now I don't get to see the joy on her face til another day. Still looking forward to it, but Serious fail on Amazon for this one. This rating is for the item itself and it is a quality case. I like it, seems like it will be easy enough to work in. The steel is sturdy, and the iCue fans have a great reputation for a reason, they look good and last a good amount of time. I'm still using some older Corsair fans in my own case which I've had for years and never had to replace them. Amazon did take the proper steps to correct the issue so... at least since it was still through Amazon there wasn't much hassle getting things straightened out.

Hard to Install Motherboard
By Michael Lowery on Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2021
In general this is a fairly good case, but I have a couple issues: 1. The top does not open and is not removable nor does it offer a removable motherboard tray so if your CPU cooler is very close to the top and you install it before you install the mobo in the case, the top center motherboard mounting screw and to a lesser extent, the top rear is virtually inaccessible. I had to use a parts extractor, a pair of forceps, and a long allen wrench cpu cooler screw driver to get them in. Very painful. Next version they should just put some screws on the top and make the mesh plate removable. 2. There is no clearance below the bottom of an ATX moba so you can't put a multi-slot PCI card there. 3. There are no cable tie downs on the shelf at the bottom of the moba mount--these would generally be used to hold fan cables. I had to use the mesh grid to affix these which was inconvenient. 4. There isn't really enough space in the power supply/3.5" drive bay compartment for both typical power supply cabling and the 3.5" bay AND there is a "lip" that prevents removal of the 3.5" bay directly--you have to either bend it or remove the power supply to get it out. It might as well not be there. 5. The fan mesh on top is set up for 120mm fans, but is too large resulting in gaps. This doesn't matter too much, but I would rather have two fixed fan mounts with no gaps for dust to fall in. The same is true for the rear fan mount. Things I like: 3 free intake fans, space for 3 more exhaust fans. Cable management is pretty good with the aforementioned caveat of the missing tie downs on the top od the power supply section. Nice glass panel so you can see inside without opening it. I wouldn't recommend buying this until they fix the top so you can get the moba screws in.
