Beautiful case

by Vladimir star star star star star

Well packaged, no scratches/damages. Case itself is amazing. You can def finf cooler cases than that one for MUCH cheaper price (LianLi 216, I did not like the look but multiple reviews - including GNexus, say that the case is superb...anyway its not a right place to discuss this case here), but if you need aesthetics....well you need to pay extra. Quality of case ig good, its heavy, size is perfect (4080 super got there without issues + big 140 air cpu cooler) , assembling was easy. The only thing I did not like is how psu location is designed - hard to explain but will try: my psu (seasonic 1000w - new) was not high enough (the parameters are standard though) and after I got all the screws in place the psu was not in 90 degrees = (as the psu hole is bit higher). Sorry if its not clear, as you have already might guessed english is my second language. Anyway, like the case very much, def recommend it if you are ok to pay extra for aesthetics. If you do not care about that - once again, there are much cheaper cases with better cooling designers out there. I was ready to sacrifice couple of degrees for this wood style.
