Corsair Crystal Series 680X RGB High Airflow Tempered Glass ATX Smart Case, Black

I’ve had this case for about a week now and I am very happy with it! I try to future proof my PC about once a year if I can, but this year I decided to take it a bit future and rebuild the majority of it. (Still have more on the way). My buddy loved this case for his new build and it just gives off a nice customizable and clean look that I was looking for. The space in the back for the power supply is a god send. I just wired in PSU Cable Extension Sleeves and I still have plenty of room back there for more drives that I plan to throw in. I’ve seen some comments and opinions about the case, saying that for the price, it doesn’t make a good fit for a moderate build, etc. However, I argue that it all depends on what you want. I’m able to throw pops and theme it much easier and add more fans in, if I want to. And easily upgrade to an AIO if that’s what I want to do later on... So, if you want a well built case, with tough glass, with tons of space for upgrades, cable management, and or just a case to gives off a clean look and to give it a personal feel, then I recommend going with this one. Worth the money, for sure! (Just make sure you have the desk space haha)

Great build quality, super roomy, and looks amazing. More than enough space to handle just about any hardware you can think of (that's a 3080 so not much larger you can go for a GPU) The secondary chamber that you put your PSU (and basically everything else) into is amazing for helping make cable management super easy. All in all, great case that makes it very easy to set up a fantastic looking system (and the airflow is top notch). Only stinker is that iCue is wonky as h*ck but it's currently working smoothly for me now so there's that.

I watched reviews on this case and on the Lian-li, but ultimately went with this case. I was going for a full Corsair build, this came with three less fans (LL120) that I would need to purchase. I ended up purchasing a few more LL140's to replace the one in the rear, which unfortunately was not an RGB fan, purchased a power commander, some LED's and a Corsair H115-0 Platinum for the CPU cooler. Everything fit perfectly, case has great build quality, and Corsair's website provides clear layouts for fan sizes and radiator sizes the case would fit. The rear side of the case has plenty of space for cable management, 2 RGB pro, Power Commander, and LED controllers. Motherboard was a Z390-A and fit perfectly. The only thing I did not do was front mount the GPU because it would be resting against the front screen and that would only give it about half an inch of breathing space with the front glass panel. All temps are nice and cool and everything looks great for fans of RGB. I would definitely recommend this case.

I purchased this case because of the styling and the big glass windows to show off the components. One of the coolest features is that the big glass door on the side opens on a hinge and stays closed using a magnet. I love that I was able to hide the cables and the power supply in the second compartment. Plenty of room as you can see from the pics of my water cooled system. The power button and the usb's are on the top of the case and make it easy to get to. The front and top fans mount on a removable bracket that makes install a breeze. I am very impressed with the overall quality of the case and as you can see from the pics it looks amazing. If you want a high quality case with great ventilation to showcase your pc build then this is the winner.

This is a big case, but honestly needs to be a couple inches wider. If you use a 360mm front radiator like me, you have 12ins of GPU clearance, meaning no high end GPU with fit as they're all over 12in, unless you get a water cooled one like my Asus ROG strix LC 3080ti. (Edit: amd 7900xtx are only 11.3in so high end AMD cards will fit too) Then you'll run into your next problem. Fitting a radiator on top with a front radiator there. Can't have the front radiator tubes on top bc the top radiator, and with the GPU traditionally mounted, you'll see how tight of a fit it was for my CPU cooler tubes to fit behind the GPU. My CPU was also running hotter than usual with it installed like this. Not too hot, but a little hotter. You can't install the top radiator with all 8 screws either, the front radiator is in the way, so I shifted it over on the top mounting plate and was able to get 6 screws in the top radiator, not worried with that many. I got an Asiahorse brand pcie 4.0 extension cable and vertical mounted this GPU and my CPU temps went back to normal. This GPU is beautiful and deserves to be vertical mounted though haha. I was just worried about performance loss, but this cable handles my 3080ti at 2100mhz no problem. I game on a 4k 144hz gigabyte m32uc monitor. I'm sure there's a little performance loss using an extension, but nothing I'm going to notice. Now the back of the case. It's huge but I have it packed with cables bc I use fancy PSU extensions with combs. I read about stuff getting hot back there if you had a lot of drives. I removed the HDD cage and installed the SSD cage lower in its place where some screw holes and mesh lined up, plus a zip tie on the top of it for a little extra support. I installed a 120mm intake fan that came in the case on the back panel, 2 screws fit in the metal mesh, and then 2 zip ties where it didn't line up. The fine mesh fliter that goes over the white metal mesh over this makes it unnoticeable. I then installed a steel mesh screen on the other side on this intake fan so no wires could poke in there when I close the panel (this isn't pictured). I then installed a 90mm be quiet fan above the SSD cage for some exhaust in the back chamber. I can remove my back panel and place it on the shelf below my PC without having to disconnect the back panel intake fan, so it is of no inconvenience. I also put my case on 4 steel foot risers to give better bottom air intake for my 2 140mm fans down there. Beautiful case. Overall I'd recommend, but just be aware of your dimensions and what you want to do in this case.
