I’ve stuffed a 4090 (msi gaming trio) a 7800x3d with a Peerless Assassin (120mm dual tower cooler) and even a soundblaster in there. It’s well fitted but not tight. And the 4090 doesn’t get close enough to the front fans to block air flow.
Cable routing is very good, but I did have to undo the factory default job and then rewrap it because the front panel IO leads weren’t layered correctly. (A very slight nitpick).
I also put a corsair shift psu in it, but I don’t know if it is worth it, as the case has plenty of room for a cable mess (But none for hard drives!... which is fine by me.)
I like that the IO is top front, so I can put it on the floor and move it to either side, and it doesn’t cause any problems. And it’s a full IO panel, with two usb a, one type c, and two headphone jacks, so that’s nice (unlike the corsair 4000D).
It comes with a pc speaker, and all the wires you need, so good on them for that.
I wouldn’t buy it for a dual rad liquid cooled system as it might be a little tight.
I really wish it had some sort of GPU support bracket. I feel like that’s a must these days. It has screw holes in on the floor (the PSU separator) and those did work “okay” when I added an Antec GPU support bracket. But they are very nearly too far away, so I’m only getting 2mm of contact (at most.)
The front panel removal for filter cleaning is slightly sus, as you have to yank on it to get it open (if the case is empty you could swing it around without it opening). Once it’s full, it’s easier to get off, but it also feels like it might come off if you are just carrying it around, so that’s a bit scary. I would have preferred thumb screws and an air filter that slips out the side, but no.
It’s very open air, and sometimes I can hear coil whine from the components, but they never claim it’s a quiet case.
So there’s nothing really fancy about it, which is maybe a good thing. It’s just a small, full-featured, good-looking case, with decent airflow.
Update: One minor warning. I bought a second case (in white) and had problems with the expansion slot bars blocking the display ports on the GPU. After half an hour of worrying the GPU had died, I fixed the problem by loosening all the slot covers bottom-to-top and nudging them down. It's not ideal, but it's not terrible either. They ought to use harder steel (and narrower bars) on the slots. That or remove the first two bars entirely
The only slight issue was fitting a 3.5 inch HD. I used an M.2 for primary SSD but had an old 3.5 HD that I decided to use for extra storage. There are 3 screws for the case panel on the side the case that the HD is mounted on (cable management side) but I was only able to screw in the top and bottom with the 3.5 in HD installed since the HD was slightly too thick. Again, not a huge deal and I'd guess that most won't bother installing a 10 year old 3.5 inch HD with this case. One other thing to note is the gray trim is plastic although it looks like it could be aluminum. Filters seem to be easy to take out but I don't like having to pop off the front of the case to access the front filter although this is just a minor complaint. Overall great case for the price, would buy again.

Most importantly, this is the first case that I can recall coming with a PC speaker in over 20 years. Hells yeah! For those too young to remember, PC speakers produce diagnostic beeps when the motherboard tries to boot. It serves the same purpose as LEDs on motherboards.

-1 Star as the fans that come with arent PWM Fans and are completely redundant to include in a case sale. All three included fans use a Daisy chain 5v 3 pin ARGB plug instead of a standard RGB 3 Pin, so the RGB wont work unless you have a 5V ADDGen2 Header to plug into. As well, the fans use a 3 pin for power so there is NO RPM monitoring, control, Fan curve profile, nothing. Its 0% off or 100% on. no inbetween. Thankfully I have a MoBo with more than enough headers for this, but If I didnt, there would have been no point getting this case as I am now having to buy 7 Corsair fans just to get the cooling and RGB set right. If you arent adding more fans, just want a straight wind tunnel through your case, this is for you. But if you want to make curve profiles, Fan ramp times and RGB schemes, avoid this, unless you can get the case without the fans :)
