Strengths:
Lots of room inside to give more options for CPU and case cooling, as well as internal storage if needed.
5.25" bays allows some customization. I got a couple IcyDock enclosures for the right side 5.25" bays, and run this with 8 x 2.5" SSDs and a Slim Blu-Ray Reader.
The height gives you more options for PCIe adapters, without the need of risers.
Fits a standard ATX PSU.
Weaknesses:
Can be a bit of a pain to get things installed at first, as the documentation lacks details in certain areas. That just slows the process down though, so not a huge pain.
Front LED is really bright. (Might be a strength for some though.)
Additional Comments:
It's a decent rackmount case, especially for a home lab like in my situation. For the time being, I'm running ESXi 6.7U3 on the hardware that's in it. Things stay cool, thanks to the ample room for airflow.
