Works Great
Pros: - Eco mode turns the fan off when it's not needed - Modular - Comes with everything you need cable-wise, and then some - Quiet
Cons: - Heavy?
Overall Review: After one week of use: Overall, I'm very happy with it. It seems very well built. I would buy again.
Decent
Pros: - I got two of the connectors to work.
Cons: - I couldn't get two of the connectors to work.
Overall Review: It has been more than a decade since building a computer so it could just be my lack of knowledge, but I only got two fans to turn on when using 3-4 of the connectors.
Easy to apply
Pros: - Easy to apply - Pretty effective
Cons: None
Overall Review: Would recommend to others
Quiet and Effective
Pros: - It works - It is quiet - Colors look good.
Cons: None
Overall Review: After about a month of use it is still going strong. I wanted to take advantage of the extra space in my rig in order to increase airflow. No problems whatsoever.
Good budget monitor
Pros: - Curved - Big - Clear - Tilts
Cons: - No speaker - No raise/lower feature - Pretty bad "flash lighting"
Overall Review: After one week of use: It works well and I'm pretty happy with it. But when the screen is all black, you can certainly see the flash lighting on a few areas (mainly on the periphery). It doesn't seem to affect the actual picture quality much though. I'm a casual gamer and don't do video/image editing so it doesn't affect me much.
Horrible Design, but Functions as Intended
Pros: - Lots of room to add fans. I liked how it had a fan slot for underneath the mobo. - You can plug a hard drive directly into the top of the tower which was pretty interesting.
Cons: - It was impossible to install the radiator on the top of the case, so I had to install it on the top of the ceiling of the case. This created issues with how my mobo fit inside the case. - With the radiator installed on the ceiling, it affected the fitment of the actual motherboard. The motherboard fits, but I can't use one of the fan headers. It also partially obstructed the GPU power cable connection. I had to saw off the clips on the actual power cable itself to fit it in the connector. It feels snug, so I don't think it will pop out, but not ideal. Lastly, I had to remove the northern heat sink and reinstall it backward (turned 180 degrees). It installed just fine but is now pointing towards my CPU. Thankfully the screws were symmetrical. - I tried to remove all of the inner case section pieces for HDDs. I wanted to use that space to install the radiator (before I just ended up installing it on the ceiling). The shelves came out, but the frame wouldn't come out so that space is essentially useless for my purposes. - The top of the case only supported slim fans. And since the radiator was installed on the top of the ceiling, there was no room for the radiator fans inside the case. The logical place to install the radiator fans was on top of the case. The problem was is those didn't fit either. So with that in mind, I had to order two new 120mm slim fans, and even those had some trouble fitting without hitting the top of the grate. This entire process cost me a week and one of the plastic screw latches is now broken. - Since I now had extra fans lying around, I decided to install another fan at the front of the case (bringing the total number to 3 in front). This third fan was installed at the top where the optical drives would be. It was a jerry-rig job with twist ties, but it works. I wish I could have removed that entire section of the case since I don't have anything else installed there. - The power button pushes in way too far for my liking and feels cheap. - The side window panel fan should be lit up with matching LEDs. It's a pretty boring window without any other lights there.
Overall Review: After one week of use: It works. It took me way too long to get everything to work, but it works. I would certainly shop around some more and I can't recommend someone buy this case when there are plenty of other good, comparable, and similarly-priced options out there. It was certainly not ideal for my setup, but I don't think my setup was very radical either. All in all, I was disappointed but will manage just fine.
