Everything I need
Front combo audio and USB C. Fairly easy to swap everything from the old case. Two things to note (1) the screw holes for the 5.25 bay are not aligned correctly (2) the front USB C port is 3.2Gen2 which my mobo doesn’t support. I had to get a “USB C header adapter” for $10 to make it usable as a Gen1 port. But it may come in handy in the future.Love the front combo audio port and everything else work just fine. I think this case will be great for any future upgrades.

Excellent case with DVD and front C USB
There are not many reviews for this case. I wanted front controls (it sits on desk), DVD drive, and a front USB “C” in a medium size case. There are very few cases that meet this criteria. I am impressed with the quality. If you want more that two disc drives this case is not for you. I don’t use any disc drives as myMSI MPG Z790 Edge motherboard holds five M.2 SSD’s. My build includes a Seasonic Focus GX-850 and MSI GeForcde RTX 3060 12GB. I don’t game but installed 4 Noctua fans two 140 in front, one 120 in rear, and one 120 in top. I can hear case hum and BIOS says all is cool. Probably didn’t need fourth fan. Use a modular power supply. I highly recommend this case. Everything fits perfect. Only negative islack of removable dust filters which is not a problem for me as computer sits on desk.

Received the case – wondering how good the US support is
Received the case (front USB-C model). Unlike most other brands, there is no box of accessories, but there is a plastic bag containing screws, cables, etc. Manual is very sketchy. There is no way to cross check if everything came in. I had another question, and left a voice message for its California center last weekend. One week gone, nobody called me back. I wonder if I may face problems if I use this case. Also, if there is any support in the US.

Decent case, good thermals, but power supply install is a bit of a pain
The case is decent for the price point since it has USB-C, and 2 x USB 3 ports on the front panel and includes an optical drive bay if you need it. It was also smaller than the other cases I was looking at that had USB-C and an optical drive bay.The cooling performance with my setup (2 x 140mm intake, and 1 x 120mm exhaust fans, with a Peerless Assassin CPU Cooler) is good. Even with adding an overclock, CPU temperatures maxed out at 80C. Without the overclock, the CPU would run around 50C at max load. GPU temperatures maxed out at 72C for me, but that will vary based on the video card.I only have four complaints about this case:1) The hard drive cage is rived in place, and cannot be removed. This makes installing a longer power supply quite painful. I would recommend sticking with a 140mm long power supply that is fully modular if you decide to go with this case because of the way you need to install it. It would be better if there was a bracket that let you install the power supply from the rear, instead of having to juggle it as you screw it in and then try to connect the cables with the tiny amount of space left.2) The rear I/O plates are one time use only, so if you add a new expansion card and then remove it, you are left with a hole in the back panel. Replacement slot covers are cheap, but I haven’t seen a case do this in a while. Any expansion cards are held in with a thin bracket secured by a single screw, which could be an issue with larger/heavier video cards, but I haven’t noticed any issues as of yet.3) The included 120mm rear fan is not PWM, as it only has a 3-pin connector. I replaced that fan with a 120mm Noctua, but Arctic fans would work well too.4) The top filter will slide if you put anything on the top of the case. I don’t know if this is because of the strength of the magnet that holds it on or the case material, but the only other reference I have for this is a Corsair 450D where I had to work to remove the top filter.Regardless of the minor issues, this case will be a good fit for me.

Fits my RX 7900 XTX Red Devil
I was looking for a case that fits both my massive RX 7900 XTX GPU, have a non glass side panel, and also have a spot for an optical drive since I enjoy watching movies in VR on my PC. Front USB does indeed plug into USB 3, even though they aren’t colored blue. Power LED is white, as well as the drive activity light. You can take the front panel off by undoing a few clips, and two 140mm Noctua fans fit under just fine, but it’s near impossible to screw them in with a regular screwdriver. The back PCIE expansion slots are the old school snap off style kind, so be weary of that. There were only 6 standoffs by default rather than 9, though it comes with extras in an assorted bag of screws. The biggest issue I have with this case is the lack of dust filters, and absolutely zero documentation, and overall building in this case isn’t particularly great, though it’s a pretty standard layout for a modern PC. Overall, I can only recommend this case to anyone that has a clean space &/or doesn’t mind frequent cleaning of their computer, and wants an optical drive installed. Otherwise, there is no reason to go for this over a 4000D Airflow, even though it’s a little smaller.

Specs are conditionally accurate
The specs are accurate in that the case does have four 2.5″ drive bays. However, in order to use all four, you must have a screwdriver at most 2.5 inches long, so you can install the front-panel fans between the case and the front panel.I only needed two bays, so I just used the other two, but if you need three or four, make sure you know how you’re going to install any front-panel cooling.

Only downside is the hard drive bay is riveted down

I gave it 5 stars because it was a good chassis for the price offered and it came in a gigantic box that even the delivery guy asked me what I bought. I even had the problem of moving the gigantic box into the house. Anyway, the chassis was great with all the ARGB fan and high air flow – really look nice. Only drawback is organizing all these ARGB fans wiring as it seems messed up in the chassis.Can Amazon allow me to buy another one at this price paid?
