TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Great case!

Easy to disassemble
Lots of cable management options
Lots of room
Many locations for optional mounting of multipurpose brackets
Multiple configurations
Good airflow
Glass panel has metal anchor points.
Looks good

When mounting the multipurpose bracket horizontally below the motherboard, you have to screw it in from the bottom. That is nearly impossible to do with the power supply and cables installed. But the multipurpose bracket is often one of the last elements to go in.
Best to completely plan out your build before you start to make sure you can access all the anchor points when you need them.
This makes modifications a bit tricky.

Great product.

Definitely recommend

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
flexible, but smaller than expected

Lot's of configuration options.
Wide enough for some of the largest of air coolers.
USB-C and USB 3.0 front ports.

The specs indicate E-ATX, but the cable ports are blocked if E-ATX is used - would be better if the case was just a couple of inches longer.
Realistically, not suitable for radiator top-mounting - would have to be 3 or four inches higher.
(My pet-peeve) Perhaps my eyes are getting old, but a black case and a black motherboard are just awful to see anything. Need to use a flashlight in tight areas.

If a larger, "real" e-atx version would be available I would go with that, but this Meshify 2 is flexible enough to be suitable for the intended purpose.
