Great case, good price, but if you are an RGB lover you should be aware...
This case is sleek, clean, and very much the right size for my tastes. I like having more room to work with, and I like using AIO coolers, in midtower cases, the AIO installed at the front makes newer GPUs impossible to fit, this full tower allows me the extra room, while still keeping my AIO in the optimal front intake position to keep cooler outside air entering the case and passing over the radiator.I love the RGB fans in this case, they are very nice looking, and they came with the case, which is a plus. The physical button RGB controller is AMAZING, much nicer than having software in my opintion. I just wish I could use it to control my motherboard and RAM rgb as well, but still, its a great feature.With the great price, it does come with a tradeoff, the usb C shown on the case is not actually active natively, its an optional attachment. Just be aware of that before you buy, and make sure you pick up the optional usb-c cable accessory when you purchase. I didn't need it, and I knew about this limitation going into the purchase, so I wasn't blindsided or upset.My last peice of advice for when you purchase. If you have extra fans that include RGB, or are installing an AIO that comes with its own fans, I would HIGHLY recommend you purchase a relatively inexpensive aRGB (make sure its a 3pin as 4 pin won't work) 1 to 3 or 1 to 5 splitter. They are only about 8-15 dollars and can save you hours of trying to figure out why you can't get all your fans lit up and wondering why there's always one odd fan out. I ended up driving 40 minutes to hit up a microcenter for a 1 to 5 splitter, which allowed me to connect the cases aRGB header to all my fans and got everything working. Even if you don't end up needing it, I think the cheap cost of the splitter is a, "better to have it and not need it, than not have it and need it," situation. This build would have taken me 1 evening if it wasn't for this RGB issue. Obviously Fractal doesn't include the splitter, since they give you all your fans in the case, and the splitter isn't needed, but for my build it was, so hopefully this will save anyone considering this case time in the long run.Overall great case, just make sure you're aware that it doesn't come with a usb-c port by default, and if you're doing anything beyond the case's base RGB or using an AIO, I highly recommend investing in an aRGB splitter for the main rgb header in the case.

Love this case even more after all my rebuilds.
Liked the case so much, I got two of them!UPDATE: Finished my build. Was upgrading from an old case, so that took some extra time. The Rear fan was hard to remove and had to pry the tab a bit to remove the wire. The external bays barely fit back in the case without using the provided shallow screws. I am unable to put the bay cove back on due to the levers on my hat swap dives. It was a bit tight in the basement, but was able to hide a lot of the wires good. I really liked the top cable management slot as it made it easier to run wires. If you ae puting an AIO on top, you have to completely wire the mobo ahead of time. I had so many wires on the underside, I was surprised, it was easy to put the side panel back on. This is the best case in recent years for lining uup GPUs and other cards. Normally, I have to pivot the card in order to get good access to the ports. This case was perfect and I didnt have to adjust the card at all. The slotted front and back fans are awesome as you can adjust the airflow by sliding the fans up and down before final tightening. The wider case is amazing and gives a lot of flexibility in wiring and HD placement. The basement is great to hide extra wires. Great air flow as well. I like I was able to put my 240 AIO on top easily,ORIGINAL:Summary: Overall this case is great. No sharp edges and pretty good in the flexibility department. I spent about an hour just reviewing the case to become familiar with it, so I could plan my build. I am very excited to start.Details. I have been building systems for a looong time and am very picky about my components. I also need to have external bays which seem to be harder to come by these days. I like to have my DVD reader/writer and I like to have my platter drives and SSD drives in hot swap bays. This case has 2 bats, I could use a third, but I will make due. I currently have a fractal G which has been great, but the external drives make it hard to put the radiator on top. With this case, I have more flexibility since the case is wider and the bays are at the bottom. There is actually room up top or even in the front. I also have learned to appreciate being able to see inside the case as well as the argb fans. I neve much cared about that, but have frown to like the colors and visibility. Before getting this case, it was difficult to see how the external bays looked as well as if you could see the fans through the front panel. That why I took so many pictures in case anyone else wanted a little bit more clarity. The front mesh is perfect and you will be able to see your fans no problem. The basement of the case is a bit challenging to access, but it doable once you remove both side panels and the front panel. There is a spot in the basement for 2 3.5 drives which you have to remove if you want to use the external bays. However, you can remove both easily and even relocate one of then to the side of the case, since it is wide enough as shown in the pics. There is actually room where they could have allowed both on the side, but didnt. Also, you can just remove the top bracket and install one ODD in the top bay leaving the bottom HDD tray and the little pull out tray in use.I was surprised of the quality of that little tray as it snaps in perfectly. I will be removing the included fans and replacing with my own. I dont even know why they include them. The case easily holds the normal 120s, but also the larger ones. Cable routing seems pretty good and a lot of it can be hidden in the basement especially if you are wiring anything in the external bays. I really like how they decided to use that space for the external drives, it really cleans up the wiring and for people who dont have drives, it doesnt interfere with the look and functionality. Nice clean look with or without ODD. Yes it would be nice if they had the HDD light and reset buttons, but I can live without. I never use the usb or audio functions on the case so I could live without that. I think they should have the reset on there for either resetting or connection to your RGB controller. And I think they should include the little speaker that connects to your mobo. Nice to hear the beeps when it is starting up. The pc speaker used to be part of the case in the old days lol. Great flexibility and a nice clean look. Fractal is becoming my favorite case maker.

Fractal my beloved
The dust filters work and it’s big enough you could put a whole Wii U in here

Solid case that I really like, doesn't come with USB-C cables to connect to motheboard though
The case is great, but I left off one star because it does not include the cable to connect the USB-C port on the case to the motherboard. You have to buy it separately.It's not THAT big of a deal, but it is nonetheless annoying because it was kinda hard to find what I think is the right one.I can't think of why they wouldn't include this with all the other cabling that came with the case.Other than that, solid case, I like it!I bought this cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B12TL4H5

5.25 bays for HTPC
Love the case for the front 5.25 bays. Makes for a great HTPC case to play blurays and have a usb hub for wired gaming controllers. Airflow is good. Pretty easy to clean. Like the option to NOT have a glass side panel but still get Fractal's fit and finish quality for a good price.

Sleek and Sturdy Case.
Solid Case! Sleek and very accessible. I enjoyed the many places I could put my drives. Its spacious inside, and was the exact look I wanted outside. Good for an out-of-the-way tower. I bought the solid side panel. Both side panels are identical.Great on a budget. Comes with screws. +3 fans.It seems they scratch easy, though it may have been shipped that way. But it's not that big a deal to me because my towers are footrests that happen to run cyberpunk (I cannot remember when the scratch appeared).
