Great show piece but it will limit your compatibility

Strengths:

The case looks amazing, the tempered glass along with the Corsair LL fans really make this thing stand out. It was also great to build in, all the cables are easy to pass through with the dual chamber design and makes hiding some of the components you'd rather not show easy. The Corsair LL120mm fans are amazing for those looking for RGB in their case. I have the included 2 paired up with 2 more LL120s and 2 LL140s all running through the Corsair Commander pro and the iCue software, looks amazing.

Weaknesses:

Part selection. CPU cooler (height) and Video Card (width) will need to be less than 150mm, less for the video card depending on where the PCI-E power cable needs to be plugged in Radiator or Fan selection may be limited based on motherboard. If using a mATX motherboard, a couple of 120mm fans on the bottom is what you'll likely be limited to, 140mm would not fit for me with Audio, USB2.0 and front panel connectors plugged into motherboard. Things were also kind of tight with just a 240mm radiator at the top, not sure how a 280mm would fit. 140mm fans will interact oddly with the dust covers because of where the magnets on the covers are located.

Additional Comments:

Overall it's a great case, maybe not the greatest value, but it was exactly what I was looking for in my build. Just be aware of the building limitations this case could have on your build with the main chamber being a bit shallow. Case probably works better with an mini-ITX motherboard than with a mATX as some of the building quirks I ran into may no longer be an issue.
