Pros: There's just not enough good things I can say about this case. I have always ignored DIYPC cases in the past because of what I felt like was poor design or quality. With this case though, I feel like they sat down and watched a video of every tech reviewer on You Tube to come up with an overall design that would have all the things someone would want in a tempered glass case. The overall aesthetics of this case are just amazing. It comes with three sides of tempered glass which is slightly tinted. Pre-installed are 4 RGB fans that cycle through seven different colors. These fans are black with the blades being a clear see through plastic. They are very bright and it makes me glad I skipped out on that RGB lighting strip. The fan cables are sleeved and the fabric is very flexible in the case you need to route the cables in a different direction. The fans all connect to a hub behind the motherboard tray which is controlled by the top IO panel. On the top IO panel are separate switches for the LED effects and fan speeds. The PSU shroud is removable which is a plus for my oversized PSU which won't fit in on the other side or from the back. They also did us a favor by shrouding the HDD cage as well, but the cage is not removable. Cable management on this thing is also like a dream. Not only is there rubber grommets (something DIYPC doesn't do even on their other [TG] cases) for super clean cable routing, but they also have Velcro straps to tie them down. They also generously include those plastic zip ties in case the straps were not enough. There is ample space behind the motherboard tray so even the most non modular PSUs will have room to fit their gigantic sleeved cables should they not be stuffed in the basement. You can also fit an insane amount of extra fans or radiators inside this thing if those stock fans just weren't pleasing enough. Also on the plus side the 8 PCI expansion covers are replaceable should you downgrade from a monster 3 slots thick 1080 ti to a double slotted 1080 or something like that.
Cons: Despite all of the good things I have said about this case there are some things I don't like about this case as well. First of all..just look at it. This case has a slightly more angular design and a clear front panel but it looks awfully similar to several other tempered glass cases on the market currently. >> Looking at you Anidees AI Crystal, Define C by Fractal Design, and the Rosewill Cullinan >> The fan hub on this thing is super flimsy. The metal connectors seem to have been soldered poorly and as such if you try to remove any of the fan connectors you might end up breaking the LED controller or the fan controller switch. If you plan on replacing the fans for something of your own then I suppose it doesn't matter. There are no SSD trays. The case includes ample amounts of mounting spots to show off your SSDs should there not be enough room in the cage, but I just strongly dislike the idea of that metal on metal contact close to things that can supposedly rattle. Edit: Also you can mount a radiator there? But...why? There is a glass panel right behind it. This thing lacks in airflow. The front panel and PSU shroud are incredibly difficult to remove. I get wanting your case to be very sturdy and I can appreciate that as well. But don't make it impossible for me to get the darn thing off! The PSU shroud is attached by six screws. Two on the bottom of the case, two on the back and two behind the motherboard tray. I still have yet to figure out how to get the front panel off. (Edit: You have to pull at the bottom really hard and pray that you somehow don't break any glass in the process) Which leads me to my next point... The directions in the box are like nonexistent. They are not first time builder friendly. I could have stood to have more information about the fan hub. It says on the single sheet of paper installation guide that the led controller cord is a 5 pin connector...but the hub slots have six and the switch controller has 2 pins! Please hire some better translators to make your installation guides. There is no USB Type C port on the IO panel. But considering the price point, I cannot really dock an egg. The magnetic dust filter is razor sharp on the edges and doesn't feel fine enough to actually stop dust from coming in. It also doesn't lay flush with the top if you install top mounted fans unless you cut holes where the screws are or you have very flat screws. Also back to the point of wanting the case to be very sturdy...it is but man the thing is like super heavy. All of that 8mm thick steel and 4mm thick tempered glass does add up when you factor in how heavy your components are. Don't look to move your case around a lot in this. New edit after owning the case for 10 months: So I eventually ended up breaking the fan hub's lighting controller. I contacted customer service about possibly getting another one under warranty and they said that I should just simply return the case. Given that I had already owned the case for 3 months by this point, I endeavored to find RGB fans with a hub so that I could simply replace the broken hub. Thankfully, I was able to replace the hub and acquire extra fans that are exactly the same for less than 20 bucks through some weird aftermarket channels. Also I read a lot of people complaining about the dust build up on the glass. Yes, owning a case like this requires that you do regular maintenance for dust build up. Make sure to bring lots of Windex. Also on the front panel if you want to replace the fans you cannot use anything BUT 120mm fans. This is fine by me but of course not everyone feels the same way... One final nitpick is that the rubber grommets are too small. Upon my initial review of this case I did not use cable sleeve extensions on my 24 pin power connector. Now that I have them, I have to bunch them at the end so that they route cleanly through.
Overall Review: I must admit, when I saw this case I thought it was too good to be true. DIYPC definitely put their best foot forward with this case. Everything feels like there was effort put into it...except the fan hub, but I'll give it a pass on that. This case is 110 bucks at the time of my review and I must say that for the price and all the things you get in this case it really is deserving of this rating.. I still stick to my rating of 5 eggs given what you are supposed to get (minus me breaking things despite my own warning to you) Is the case perfect? Not at all. But for 90 bucks (at the time of my edit) if you just want a tempered glass case with somewhat decent RGB fan lighting then you are still in the right place.
