Really well built. Excellent airflow with the included fans. If you want to use the HDD cage then you won't have space to fit a 360 AIO to the front. I wanted something with a bit of bling but the RGB control card has limited and annoying options so you may want to plug it into your mainboard and control it through an app.
I bought this case to cope with my upgraded MB&CPU which had overheat problems. Pros: All of the cables are tucked out of the way of the airflow meaning that cooling of both the CPU and GC is way more effective. The lighting is pretty. Cons: None, really, but it would be nice if the glass plate was hinged instead of having 4 screws.
