EDGE-TO-EDGE VISIBILITY
A large tempered glass side panel creates a smooth, modern aesthetic with a clear view of the hardware at the heart of your machine.
DEFINE SERIES SOUND DAMPENING
Patented ModuVent™ technology and high-density sound dampening allows for silent operation in a compact ATX form factor.
INNOVATIVE OPEN LAYOUT
Open air interior design creates an unobstructed airflow path from the front intake to the rear exhaust.
BUILT-IN PSU SHROUD
A full lenth integrated power supply shroud hides drive trays and excess cabling for an even cleaner looking interior.
VERSATILE HARDWARE SUPPORT
Even the largest graphics cards leave plenty of room for a massive triple-fan rad in the front. The adjustable drive cage can be moved or removed to fit even the lengthiest heavy-duty PSUs.
FLEXIBLE STORAGE OPTIONS
Conceal up to 5 storage devices with an adjustable and removable drive cage beneath the PSU shroud, plus dedicated SSD mounts behind the motherboard tray.
CLEAN AIRFLOW
Easy access removable nylon filters on front and base intakes with full PSU coverage maintain a dust-free interior with up to 2X the airflow of plastic filters. An optional top filter is included to prevent dust buildup when ModuVent is removed for additional fans.
SUPERIOR AIR COOLING
7 total fan positions allow for extensive air cooling. Two Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-12 120 mm fans come preinstalled for maximum airflow with minimal noise levels.
EXPANSIVE WATER COOLING

Pros: + The glass is beautiful. + Cable management is, on a scale of 1-10, an 11. + The rear panel swings slightly like a door, making realigning it very simple. + The rear panel has catches for the thumb screws. I like this feature. + Choice between a mesh screen for the top or a sound reduction panel. + PSU shroud to help hide some of your cable management. + PSU shroud has cutouts for USB audio, and front I/O couplings. + Case is overall, somewhat compact, but not so much that it compromises anything else. + Full length lower dust screen, that is serviceable from the front.
Cons: - I honestly would have liked to see one more 3.5 HDD drive capability. However, I will call this a half a 'Con' as the compact design probably prevented this. Call this a neutral, not a con. - Space is pretty tight between the power supply and the HDD cage. Not a deal breaker, as this is a result of a more compact case, more something to keep in mind for those who want to build this. I would suggest having your cables already connected to the PSU before seating it in the case. - I had a little trouble realigning the PSU bracket to thread into the back of the case. I would agree this might be a neutral point as this is the first time I have dealt with a mounting bracket. - I had a hard time with 90 degree SATA connections on the HDD. The lower tray is really close to the bottom of the case that it forces a severe bend in the cable that make me personally uncomfortable. I will be buying straight SATA connectors soon. - Another half 'Con' but I am not wild about the white highlights in this case. But again, this should almost be considered a neutral as opposed to a con.
Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this case. It was fun to work with. Something to note: I wouldn't call myself an experienced builder. I have only built 2 PCs, but this is my 3rd case, a Corsair 200R being one, the other a Fractal Node 605. The easiest case was the Corsair, however, this case gave the Corsair a run for it's money. If on a scale of 1-10 for ease of building a PC, the Corsair being a 10, this case I would rate a 9.75. That is how close it is in my opinion.
