Pros: I don't have a place under my desk for a tower, so I was looking for a decent smaller case that could go on my desktop, with front-mounted ports, and room for a full size graphics card. These are surprisingly hard to come by. This is my second Lian Li case. The quality, fit and finish are excellent as always. USB 3.0 ports provide some future proofing. The card reader and fan controller add value. The case seems to have decent airflow and keeps temperatures reasonable without being noisy.
Cons: As far as anyone has been able to figure out, an H50 cooler can only be used with the lower front fan, which is quite a stretch. It's unfortunate since that is such a popular cooler - you think a new case would be designed to accommodate it easily. The H70 won't fit. The 120mm Noctua U12P won't fit (interferes with PSU). I am using the 92mm Noctua U9B and it fits, with one or two fans. Note that all of this will depend somewhat on your motherboard and the placement of the CPU socket. So check the forums and see what other people are doing. The cables for the front fans and the front audio connectors are just long enough to reach the fan header and the motherboard audio connection. There is no leeway for creative wiring. Since this isn't a side-window case and nobody will really see the wiring, this didn't bother me too much.
Overall Review: I didn't see it in the spec sheet, but there are accommodations for 3 2.5" drives: 1 on the bottom of the upper drive cage, and 2 on the floor of the case. I only needed one and I used the drive cage one; with the ones on the floor I imagine it would be tricky bending the cables in there. There is room to route cables behind the motherboard, but it is difficult to do so in practice because the motherboard mounts directly to the side panel. You would need a lot of slack in the cables. It seemed like too much trouble for me.
