Finally Upgraded.
Pros: -Large! Lots of room -Configuration Options -New hot swap SSD bays are welcome. -Various improvements over base 011 and ROG
Cons: If you don't have large components or water cooling your case can look awkwardly vacant.
Overall Review: I finally upgraded from my beloved Corsair 800D full tower case. I love full towers but the 011 ROG case didn't quite have what I wanted to make upgrading worth it. I didn't have the missing pieces or dents that others have reported. My box had a large gash out of the side, but luckily nothing was damaged. I have large hands and working in most mid towers can be a pain, but no problems here. With the removable motherboard tray and customization options I didn't have any problem moving everything over. I am waiting on a few more fans and finishing touches, but everything running perfect. I really like removing the corner glass bar for an unimpeded view inside the case from where I sit.
A++
Pros: Lightning Fast! One of the best available right now!
Cons: None - if you can grab it on super-sale! Otherwise a little pricey.
Overall Review: Got it on sale + an additional % off with code. Managed to get one before they sold out for the sale duration. Why is the 970 Pro of the same 1TB way more expensive??
Great Full Tower!
Pros: There are slim pickings when it comes to great/quality full tower cases that sport a side window. My last build was a Lian Li mid tower, but I decided to give this one a try for my full tower. Lots of room! The cable management is awesome and when you fill all of the fan slots it cools everything in my case with ease. Great looking too!
Cons: The size can work agaist it, see Other Thoughts.
Overall Review: Because of the cable management you lose a lot of length on your cables. I bought a PC Power and Cooling Silencer 910 power supply along with this case and both the 24 pin and 8 pin power connectors couldn't reach the motherboard. So save yourself some build time by ordering cable extensions when/before you buy this case (good cables to have around anyways). NZXT makes great black sleeved cables that look great in this case and take care of this problem easy.
A Customer for Years.
I have been buying Lian Li Cases and products for years, since about 2000 ish with the PC-60. Glad to see them still around and still with consistently great products. Shipping was fast and have no complaints about the products that I have purchased.
