I, like many others, am on the search for a case that is both functional and has the right amount of RGB. I have gone through all the phases with my PC - mini itx cases (Coolermaster NR200P, Jonsbo D31 mesh, Lian Li Q58), Mid Towers (Corsair 4000D, NXZT H510), Open Air Cases (Thermaltake P1 & P3). Recently, I have decided to go down the route of a full tower PC case that can house all of my fans, hubs, and RGB accessories with ease. This case caught my eye as its sister case 700 EVO is out of my price range.
This case was designed for one thing, airflow. There is no shortage of fan configurations in this case. I currently have 2 (200mm front fans), 3 (140mm Noctua bottom fans), 3 (140 Noctua side fans), 2 (120mm back fan), 1 (200mm top fan) & 3 (120mm LL's top). Needless to say, my PC stays cool under any load placed upon it. My CPU ( Ryzen 9 5900x) @ idle stays around 35C-40C. Under load, it stays below 60C, which is impressive for that specific CPU as it runs hot. My GPU (EVGA 3090 FTW) @ idle stays around 35C. Under load, it doesn't go past 72C. I do not have any overclocking/underclocking enabled. All stock.
The case is massive, compared to what I am used to. However, this is by design. The building was seamless. For the most part, this is a toolless case. I liked the locking mechanism that Coolermaster has designed to be used for most of the pieces. Specifically, the back panel is used to "hide" or rather, keep all the cables/hubs in one place without having them protrude and prevent the back cover from being snapped on. This stood out as I have 4 hubs (2x corsair Commander XT, 1 Commander core & 1 Node lighting).
The front mesh panel of the case allows for adequate airflow. If fans are set at an appropriate fan curve, the case is silent. Coolermaster included two fan hubs. One that allows for the RGB/fan speed and another to accommodate additional fans for the case. All of these will be controlled via the motherboard, but a nice "must-have".
The RGB is standard if that's your thing. The Coolermaster software is bland compared to icue (corsairs version). For my case, I have cables that convert basically any manufacturer 3-pin RGB to be compatible with icue (thank you PirateDog.com).
Overall, I am satisfied with this case and if the full tower setup is what you're looking for, include this case as one of your options. Keep in mind that it's LARGE. So, if you are limited in space, this may not be the right choice.
Happy building!

★★★★★Sheer size, Great looks, Extreme versatility, durability, and quality.
I have been a fan of Cooler Master cases for many years. Having built several personal PCs over the last couple of decades. So when I decided that it was time to build one last one (wife laughing in background) I chose the EVO 700. I was not disappointed. I has a huge capacity for any MB/cooler/graphics combo you wish to build and that's just the main compartment! A second compartment allows for your power Supply and storage drives. It supports a mix of 3.5, 2.5 HDDs or SSDs with a well designed tool less system that is sufficient for almost any use case from Gamer PC, Workstation or even as a server.
My only personal con has to do with the mounting of the Power Supply. I chose an ASUS ROG Thor 1200W Power Supply which has an ARGB display area. Since the case is designed with a divider and the Power Supply fits in the lower rear right area of the case the display is not visible. There may be a mod to remedy this but I did see an easy solution for now and since I can monitor the Power Supply voltages and temps onscreen it is only a minor concern compared to all the advantages this case offers.

★★★★★Panels and compartments make easy access. Plenty of ventilation and room for liquid cooler.
This is a great case with plenty of options and space for every size motherboard. If you are short on space then this case may not be for you. It is well constructed and compartment have removable panels as well as easy access for the filters. I purchased a Cooler Master case 11 years ago and replaced it with this one. There have been a lot of improvements and updates. I really like the way it is constructed and would recommend it to anyone looking for a full tower case. I would like a little better manual with this case, but it does work. Cables are easy to hide and connect, and it is compatible with just about any board.

★★★★★My favorite case so far.
I have always liked HAF cases and this one is by far my favorite amongst them.
Tons of cooling options and an awesome front panel with some of the best RGB lights I have seen, the small round screen is great for showing all kind of PC related info and optionally gifs or still pictures, it does lag with gifs though, a 10 second animation might take twice the time to show.
The case is roomy inside although it might still be unable to accommodate very thick GPU cards from previous generations. The HDD compartment behind the motherboard is nice but gets a bit hotter than the rest of the case, it could use some dedicated cooling.

★★★★★Coolermaster haf 700
I think it's the best case out there. Im not a fan of lights on any case. When you load it up with PC hardware it's going to be extremely heavy and takes some space. Great cooling and cable management.
