Superb and roomy

by JC star star star star star

First time builder here, (albeit with 30+ years dev experience) and I found this case to be excellent. It looks amazing if you're into that Scandi vibe kind of thing, so a bit understated in comparison to the fruit-machine lookalikes favoured by the kids. Installation of the various components is an absolute doddle given the amount of space in the case, and there's plenty of room for expansion as required. I've plugged a Taichi X670E (E-ATX) into this and it looks small - which I guess is excellent for things like airflow etc... Delivered within 24 hours by OC, excellent service - well impressed.
