  1. Kurt O.

    Pros: all black (if that’s what you’re looking for) very very very very sturdy (very sturdy) could live through a category 5 tornado lots of options for HDD/SSD mounting locations cutout for heat sink installation top of case removable for easy motherboard/peripheral installation lots of room to work with installing peripherals Cons: heavy without electronics installed heavier with electronics installed Overall Review: Where do I start. I thought about getting the XL version but I’m glad I…

  2. Roger L.

    Pros: Super easy PSU mount even for long units. Cable management ports all over for easy access to different parts of the motherboard. Dead silent even under system load. Comes with 5.25″ drive support. Huge amount of space for airflow inside. Cons: No hardware brackets were included for the 5.25″ drive bay. Need to disassemble a significant portion of the front of the case to reconfigure it to hold a 5.25″ bay. The front USB ports seem weakly mounted and have an uncomfortable amount of give…

  3. Nick J.

    Pros: Large spacious case that can fit lots of drives and lots of customizability. Has slot for DVD Bay or other accessories which is becoming very difficult to find now. Cons: You can’t buy extra drive sleds anywhere even 6 months after launch. What good does it do to have all this room, but not enough drive sleds. Fractal, take my money, just give me more sleds. Overall Review: Very good case with lots of room and options. Better than the define r6 in many ways. If you want lots of drives…

  4. Benjamin L.

    Pros: – Very clean aesthetic – Easy to work with with top removed – Lots of HDD space – Silent – Lightweight Cons: – Manual not always clear – Fan hub hard to control Overall Review: This case was for my workstation, and I’m very pleased with it. It’s pretty, easy to work with, silent, has plenty of room : very good product overall. I didn’t used the fan hub, because I wanted more control over my fans. I plugged them directly to my motherboard. Would certainly recommend to a friend if they…

  6. Glenn D.

    Pros: All the options. The modularity of this case is fantastic. The ease of removing the panels, reconfiguring it to/from storage mode, etc. are all a wonderful part of this case. The multiple top panel selection that’s included is also great. The ability to mount bottom fans is also a huge plus for me and something you don’t see in nearly enough cases, in my opinion. And then there’s the built in fan hub (See also Cons) and all the room to do whatever you want. The lack of front panel mesh…

  7. F.L

    Pros: -Lot’s of space -The thinking that was put trough this case & it’s different configuration is borderline insane when you start digging into it. -Good Cabling -Love the Fan Hub -You can turn this into a server with ease (Would still take the XT in that case) -Easy wiring -No RGB clown show -Front Hub is perfect & very sleek -Good Fans (Not the best but decent) Cons: -While not bad The airflow with the front panel close is ”OK” not outrageously bad but just ok But we are talking full…

  8. Yang H.

    Pros: has option for 5.25″ drive Cons: 5.25″ drive does not mount securely Overall Review: are you thinking about buying this case because you want a quality modern case that’s quiet, looks understated, but also has a 5.25″ bay? don’t. that’s what i did. you have to move the whole case around and the bluray drive doesn’t even install very securely. it’s is held in place by just 2 screws in the front. i doubt they even tested that configuration while designing. otherwise, it is nice enough. i…
