Strengths:
* Nice look with the 3 ARGB fans up front
* Lots of depth, leaving a lot of room for long video cards and cable management
* Easy to add rear fan and two top fans
* ARGB strip looks great along the bottom enclosure where the power supply and hard drive bays sit
* Comes with an ARGB controller if you don't have the pins on your motherboard
Weaknesses:
* The power button is so bright white when everything else in the case is ARGB...strange oversight. I used a blue marker on it to tone it down a bit
* The right side panel is hard to get on with all the cables under it
Additional Comments:
Great case for a great price! The air flow is very good - my CPU averages around 32 degrees celsius and the fans are almost silent - sitting around 700-800 RPM on idle. It's just hard to find it in stock!

Strengths:
Build quality: solid and sturdy good tempered glass and solid mesh. well put together straight out of the box.
Design: The mesh is airflow galore. really appreciate the low key design and not trying to go with a look that will go in and out of style. Has a certain star wars look to it that I totally appreciate as that is what I was going for. Aesthetics are subjective and some will prefer the look of the meshify C or p500A. honestly I like the way they all look for different reasons. I just don't like the cooler master logo, but it doesn't take away from the beauty of the over all case.
other than that its pretty standard tooling with a vented shroud and removable drive bay.
Weaknesses:
The cable management is a tad snug, you need two hands, an elbow, and a chin to close the panel, and if you slap some extenssion chords on that psu, you are jaming the slack in the shroud unless you remove the drive bay.
the shroud doesn't go all the way, and depending how you route your cables, you may end up seeing your 24pin atx psu cable going up the back side. I have mod in mind that will cover up that entire dead space.
the fan filter on the bottom should have been magnetic instead of being held up by divits
Additional Comments:
honestly, an airflow case with 3 rgb fans included really takes the cake for me. if you take fans into consideration this case is way cheaper than the other mesh front panel options I strongly recomend it if you can look past cooler masters ugly logo (you can just plasty dip it anyways)
