The Beast!

Overall Review: What can I say? It works day in and day out. I have a 2600 square foot two story home and this covers it all. I have 1Gb internet and this handles it. The thing is huge and sticks out like a sore thumb. Being a computer nerd, I like it.

Quite Roomy!

Overall Review: I will be getting one of the new graphics cards next month. This case has all the room you need. Also, I installed a huge 420 water CPU cooler and it fit. I even could have had both push and pull fans on it. I took the two 18cm fans on the front and installed them on the bottom. The CPU cooler is in the front. This case has no room for any fans on the top for the power supply is up there. Maybe a bit different, but it works, and you have plenty of room for graphics cards and all low in the case.

Bought on Day One at a good price

ASRock X670E Steel Legend AM5 ATX Motherboard. 4xDDR5 slots, PCIE 5.0X16, AMD Cross Fire, QuadM.2 slots, Dual LAN ports 1GB and 2.5GB , WIFI-6E,7.1 HD audio, HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4 ports

Pros: Works Good price What else?

Overall Review: One problem was the built in wifi. It kept freezing up and I would have to reset the computer to get internet again. Of course I had the antenna on the floor behind the computer propped up by power cords. I moved the antenna up to the top of my desk and zero problems. It was my fault. I uploaded to the latest bios, no problems. One odd thing though. When entering bios, you HAVE TO be using the AMD processor graphics from the rear motherboard panel. I tried while using my graphics card and the screen just went blank.

Beautiful Case

SilverStone RV05WB-W Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
SilverStone RV05WB-W Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Looks Great Excellent theory on air flow. All flow is from bottom up, and since hot air rises, this naturally aids the airflow Two large 18cm fans move a lot of air and not much noise Filters on bottom and power supply intake take care of dust

Cons: No room, really, for 3.5 inch drives. If you install them you will have the power supply cables forming a tight right angle right out of the supply to avoid the 3.5 inch drives. If you remove one of the 3.5 inch drives you will have more space. I am 100% SSD now so not a concern. It has two 2.5 inch mount points behind the motherboard. Of course, going forward, M.2 drives will take over and this will not be an issue in a few years. Just a bit tight, but enough room for large graphics cards and my huge Nocuta NH-C14 CPU cooler. You may want to get a modular power supply to reduce the number of cables to deal with. About the size of a mid tower. I'd love it if they have a large tower just to simplify things. Requires a slot-load CD/DVD/BD reader.

Overall Review: Fantastic idea of the bottom up air flow. That's why I bought it. Beautiful looking case. Am glad I bought it and would recommend to anyone else if no 3.5 inch drves are needed.
