Fractal Design Torrent RGB Black - Light Tint Tempered Glass Panels - Open Grille for Maximum air Intake - Two 180mm RGB PWM and Thr...

I really like this case with the solid side panel. I know tempered glass looks great and generally pretty durable, but I prefer the idea of metal since this won't really be a showpiece. The fans are pretty quiet unless running at high speeds, and building inside this case was really easy. Lots of room and the cable ties make it easy to keep things fairly organized. A 4090 easily clears inside this case without bending the 4X PCIe -> 12VHPWR adapter severely. The biggest negative I've discovered is the lack of handles on this case or easy way to pick it up. The top panel is plastic and not designed for picking up from, so you pretty much have to carry it from the bottom any time you want to move it. In other words, not the case to go for if you want to haul your rig around to LAN parties. Something that's not necessarily a negative or positive but just to be aware of is that the front panel audio connectors don't seem to have a TRRS connector, so you'll need to split out separate headphone/mic jacks. Would have been nice to see a Y adapter come with the case so that you can connect your typical 3.5mm gaming headset. This is my favorite case to date though. No, it's not the quietest, but for an air cooled build it offers unrivaled performance. If you're thinking of adding water, maybe look at saving a few bucks with a Meshify 2 or 2XL.

Every time I upgrade from an older Fractal case to a new one, I don't think it can be better than the last, but somehow they've always managed it. For the most part, I would say computer cases are almost entirely solved and at this point you're going for looks and build quality. The Torrent (I think) looks great and is built well, with easy to remove, well, everything. This case is so easy to build in I almost couldn't believe I was finished without having any hiccups at all. There's tons of room to work with and it of course has a massive amount of airflow with five included fans - that alone is nearing $100 these days. My only complaint is the support bracket for the GPU. I felt it was over complicated and would add even more steps to changing a GPU for a different sized one later. It's still easier to just use a smaller support that sits between the bottom of the case and the GPU. If you're really worried about that interfering with the fans, then I'd use the bracket I guess, but it's like a logic puzzle to put together the first time. I hope this case lasts me over 5 years like my Define R6 did.

I have to admit I bought this case based purely on looks I had seen it on several YouTube review channels and I loved the clean look of the large fans and the repositioning of the power supply to the top. This unique idea allowed for smoother airflow and a better overall build. I was slightly concerned since I had a Corsair AIO and didn't want to lose cooling, but it was time for me to switch cases, so I took the leap. I figured that I could always buy a new AIO down the road if things didn't work out. I have to say this is by far the best case I have ever built in, and it has exceeded my expectations for both form and function it is gorgeous, and as the Torrent name suggests it stays very cool without much effort. I would recommend this to anyone who has a gaming system and doesn't want to spend all the time with water cooling rigid pipe or any of that other stuff. I mean it's not like you couldn't do it in this case if you didn't want to. I am pleased to know that this will last for a good long time and I have flexibility going forward when I am ready to build in it again.

Not easy to find or get replacement parts for this case. I tried reaching out to the manufacturer. They couldn't sell me the dust fliters..but they ((would)) warrant them.. AGAIN,(( not sell them)). In order to warrant them, they asked for information I couldn't provide due to not wanting to give other people's personal information. I was super disappointed.. However, It's the best PC case for gaming and simple workstation builds, in my opinion.

The case loos premium and high quality online, but in person it looks plasticy and cheap. The positives: The case features a very open build style, with plenty of room for creator motherboards and multiple GPU builds. The PSU is shrouded at the stop of the case, with just enough room to route the cables to the motherboard. The negatives: It really does look cheap. Sadly, aside from the glass panels (which are on both sides?? Why?? Nobody wants to see my cable un-management) everything else is plastic and tacky. It's not a smooth polished plastic either, it's smoother than being 3D printed but gives the same vibe. The PSU cabling can be a little difficult. Really the most rateable thing is build quality, and for the price it just feels lacking.
