Amazingly Cool Case!

-Toolless design for 5 panels is a live saver when compared to other cases.
-Only 2 screws to access the side bracket, and 2 more for the power supply cage.
-Aesthetically this thing is amazing. Simple and sleek design, nothing much to be upset about visually.
-Not aluminum, I hate building in aluminum cases so it's a huge plus that this thing is rock solid.
-Massive amounts of ventilation, back in the 2000's this would have been part of their HAF (High-Air-Flow) series I'm sure.
-Temps are great, idles at 28-32c on the CPU with a NZXT X52 on a 9900k and full load is around 56-58c. The GPU stays around 34-36c idle and 55-57c full load on a RTX 3080 Founders Edition in standard configuration (Not vertical). 2 included top fans as exhaust, NZXT radiator on the side bracket with 2 fans as intake, and 2 fans under the GPU as intake on the bottom. Manual fan curves were used, no overclocking.

-No carrying handle.
-No USB Type-C port on the front.
-Didn't include 92mm fan for the back side like the standard NR200, and like most reviewer copies YouTuber's received did.
-Newegg used UPS for shipping and I ordered on Monday, and didn't get it until the following Monday. UPS said they attempted delivery on Thursday and lied, I have a doorbell camera and they never came. Had to wait until the following Monday for them to deliver it to an "Access Point" and go pick it up myself.
-Can't confirm yet, but it would seem like taking the top panel off will shake loose all the dust that's accumulated and it's going to go everywhere. Unlike the other panels that come off without much guff, the top panel requires enough force to knock loose all the dust in the filter.
-Cable management was a pain, plan it out more than once, test fit parts, pretty standard stuff for an SFF case. Just took awhile to figure out what would work for my particular parts. Being this is a relatively new case, there wasn't much material on the internet to reference to ensure my parts would fit, but they all did.

CPU: 9900k @ Stock
CPU Cooler: NXZT Kraken X52 (Side mounted)
GPU: RTX 3080 Founders Edition @ Stock
PSU: Corsair 600W SFX Gold 80+
MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-I
RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 CL16
NVMe: 2x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB
SSD: 3x Samsung 850 EVO 1TB

The PSU works fine at stock speeds for CPU/GPU, but I'd like to overclock. The 600W was pulled out of another rig to get this one up and running and will be replaced ASAP with 750W or 850W depending on availability due to The Rona.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Extension cable DOA

None

None

The extension cable for the power supply in the pc arrived dead and I sent out a customer support ticket and after one reply it is now dead air. I have messaged in my support ticket multiple times now and no replies for a week now. Great case though but I would like to be able to use the extension cable included in the case.
