Got this case on sale and really happy with it. Love the orange line contrast with the black theme. Great case lives up to the brand name as it's really quiet.then the drawback is just like others, or in the ncix video review, the manual is not clear and needs some guess work. and cables at the back of the motherboard get really messy due to lack of more cable management channels and holding spot. And with the noise damping foam, the temperature gets higher even after I installed two more fans and opened up the side panel. Well, a good excuse to go to a more powerful water cooling I guess. (I have a Antec H2O 920). Overall good buy.

Overall a well built case with good sound dampening, and quiet case fans. we installed a Asus Maximums VI motherboard with a metal shield on the back, tried for 30 min or so the get the screw holes to line up! Discovered that the raised mounting points on the motherboard tray were interfering with the shield on the back of the motherboard, ended up having to remove the shield!

Top quality PC Case.Seeing photos, and watching videos of the case simply does not do it justice. The build quality is top-notch. The 'German Design' attention to quality and detail is very true with this case.Externally, the finish of the case is smooth and free of visual defects.The front panel doors have a slight vertically brushed texture which makes it look more like metal than plastic. Very nice touch. The orange accents on the front air intakes look really amazing. It gives it personality without looking cheesy.The removable feet of the case are very sturdy and snap in place very simply - ample sized rubber pads ensure the case wont move or scratch desk surfaces.Internally, there is a ton of room for components and wiring.The front 2 (already installed) Be Quiet! high quality fans used as intakes are sitting behind a dust screen. The bottom of the case, below the PSU is another dust screen. Both are removable. The case also has an installed back fan used as an exhaust. These are high-quality fans that are extremely silent when in use.The 2 cages for HHD's are removable for a custom configuration. I use a GPU that fits with the HDD cages installed, but if your GPU is long, it will still fit, by removing one of the cages.Cable management holes are places in the right spots. There is ample room behind the motherboard tray to store all of your cables.Also behind the motherboard tray, there is room for 2 SSD's, in addition to the placement for them on the underside of the HDD cages. The front doors, the side of the case are fully lined with thick sound-dampening material - it really silences any fan noise from inside the case.In the end, this is a dream PC case. It is adjustable to your needs. Its designed around silence in mind and lives up to being quiet. And, it looks really great!Even the packaging is designed well - ample room between the box and case with large Styrofoam guards. Screws and accessories are securely boxed inside the case.Highly recommended for those who care about aesthetics and build quality.
