When it comes to Mid Tower ATX cases - this is about as good as it gets. From construction to its capabilities, this is a solid choice and comes in two great color combos Black and White/Gray. PLEASE NOTE - This has a 360 top - therefore you can only fit a 360-rad and below - This will not fit a 420mm radiator. This is an extremely high-end case, and because of that, has some of the best workings and hinges I have had the chance to work with. This case is truly worth the money at MSRP and even better on sale. This is beyond just a case, and we are in the luxury territory - so keep that in mind. Construction- Just like every other PC at this price point, this is created with a metal chassis and tempered front and side glass for optimal RGB. Nothing on this PC felt cheap while building it and even the things that could have been plastic or cheaper were generally above the quality I expected - Especially for $500, this is what we should be expecting. It has one 3.1 USB type C and four 3.0 USB type A on the front case connectors along with a Mic/headphone port, power, and restarts. Cable Management - This case comes with a great main channel to route Cables through and several ties for management down the line in the build. You will need your own zip ties, but your cable management opportunity here is based on your skill and not really the case as Corsair has really killed it with this one. This case is the typical build channel for corsair cases, and if you have built-in one before... you will find yourself at home here. Features/Fans- The fans that the case comes with are...ok. For $500 which I thought would at least be the Mag lev, but I am still happy they threw in three of them. If you are doing an I5 or below you should be good, however, if you are putting anything serious in here you will need to get more fans. The case comes with its own RGB hub (core XT) in the back good for 6 fans as well as an LED hub for the LED light strips. plan on using one of their nodes or some other method for your 6+ fan headers other than what is brought in on this case. Another great feature is every vent you could want a mesh fan filter - has one and they are pretty good! It has three places in the back for SSD's and a Hard Drive caddy good for two HDDs or four SSDs (must buy an adaptor for the 4 SSDs but it has the potential for two out of the box). Conclusion - If you like the aesthetic of the case, pull the trigger at amazon! They generally have better deals vs corsair. This was a great case to build in and I have zero complaints, I upgraded the fans and added another core (which came with the AIO I got for it so it wasn't additional) and I was all good to go on the case. Truly another Mastercraft example of corsairs ability to build and execute on high-end cases. Something to Note - This is a more difficult case to build in due to the LED strips on top of the LED lights and anything else you might add. Cable managing was a bit harder in this case due to the volume of cables I was using. This case, does, however, come with a two-year warranty which is really nice!

★★★★★Premium Case with LOTS of RGB and breathing room
This is a well made case. Plenty of airflow to keep your PC components cool, and plenty of mounting space for 120mm fans and 360mm radiators in the front and up top. Front IO comes with 4 USB 3.0, which means this case has 2 usb 3.0 wires. As most motherboards only have one usb 3.0 header, this means you might need to buy a splitter, or an internal hub to get full utilization out of the front IO. Also, LOTS of RGB. This is also a MASSIVE case, much bigger than the typical mid-tower. Size-wise, it’s about the size of a full-tower, but internally it’s slightly more spacious than a mid-tower. My only gripe is that the case is a bit complicated to get around. Trying to take off the side fan mount, the cable cover and the PSU shroud was not easy. There are screws that aren’t the most accessible, and I would most certainly recommend looking up the user manual (on Corsair’s website).

★★★★★Nice industrial looking case.
Nothing fancy, just a nice well designed case with everything needed for a complete build. Heavy, mostly metal construction with a glass side (not acrylic). Fans look good and are fairly quiet unless you are really pushing your system. Easy to hide most of the cables on the backside and the included Velcro cable management straps work well. I also like the included iCUE RGB controller that handles up to 6 RGB fans and has 2 included thermal sensors that can be placed in different areas of the case. The iCUE device also controls the 6 RGB strips with the additional included driver.

★★★★★It's a nice case
It's a fantastic case, don't let the price steer you in the wrong direction, this case comes with an included and installed, pre wire managed control module, everything with the module and the RGB strips, fans, are all very nearly pre installed and wire managed. Came with extra ties and wire management straps, screws, and temperature sensors, it says it's a mid case, but this is quite literally the size of a full tower case, it's HUGE!!!! It's more of a mid plus case, it's the size of a full, but the space to work with is the size of a mid plus. Overall, great case!!

★★★★★Super product with great cable management
The box is really nice. It was super easy to build my computer with this thanks to the excellent set up for vable management, etc. The led lights are cool. If you use an SSD hard drive versus an older disc hard drive, corsair has provide a way to open the unused space for additional cable storage. This was perfect for me. The box is heavy. Let me repeat, the box is heavy! So be sure it is either on the floor or a sturdy table. I have loved mine so far.
