Pros: This is my first and (apparently) case I'll ever need. The cooling is incredible and saved me money on a liquid system while the space made my tech-impaired brain extremely calm while putting the PC together. I was initially worried about the noise that 6 fans would make but I was amazed at how quiet it is even after the 2+ years I've owned it. As long as you lift it correctly this this is indestructible. (Only weak point is already mentioned it's no good trying to lift this heavy equipment by just the plastic lip/top. I plan on having this case for the rest of my lifetime so long as I don't break the top off or computers don't drastically change in the next 50 years. Even so space allows for custom work. Space behind motherboard keeps the (display/clear) space relatively clear and clutter free. If I can do it, literally anyone can so long as you do your research. tl;dr This is too perfect for a first-timer and could possibly last a lifetime with it's space and solid construction.

Cons: Fans take work to clean. Both side panels need to be removed (unless you plan ahead and only screw in your hard drive(s) on one side which is completely secure I can guarantee. This thing is heavy which is really a pro for stability but a con if you're short on space. Top fan is relatively useless and a waste of space/power (as heat rises) would be better off as a simple grate. As you can tell, no technical/useful cons were listed as it's exactly what I wanted and well worth the price since I intend/expect it to be useful for the next 10-20 years.
