Top fan is extremely loud. I've tried adjusting screws, checking alignment etc. But it's like a plane taking off in my room. Decided to just unplug it and deal with an extra few degrees. Otherwise, great case, beautiful and good cable managment at a decent price point.
The power button feels a little cheap too considering NZXT has a good reputation for cases. Top fan is extremely loud.

I found it pretty easy to put this case together, and it made cable management extremely easy whilst building my PC. I do think the airflow could be improved however.

Looks clean and if very spacious on the inside. Definitely recommend this case. Looks clean and if very spacious on the inside. Definitely recommend this case.

Great looking simple case for a good price. Easy to assemble my build, good cable management and airflow! Great looking simple case for a good price. Easy to assemble my build, good cable management and airflow!

Try and go for an atx motherboard over an matx one in this case, as the gap under the gap becomes hard to keep tidy with the exposed wiring.

Temps are surprisingly OK, though you will want to keep the stock negative air pressure fan setup, as it gives good gpu temps. In order to get good airflow though, you will have to run those case fans at a decent speed, and the stock ones are louder than I'd like.

The way the glass side panel locks in with a single thumbscrew is a godsend, as its on and off fairly frequently with me.

Decent case, but you're paying for looks.

Good 4 stars.

It was a toss-up between this, the Phanteks P300 and the Metallic Gear Neo Air, but I chose this because of the single-screw tempered glass mount which gives a cleaner look, as well as the cable management bar which gives some visual interest on what is usually an empty area of the case. There were a few annoyances though: The interior metal is a sort of powdered steel which has a textured surface which is very easy to leave fingernail marks on. And the hard drive cage is terrible to work with - you have to take out the whole cage just to install a drive, instead of other cases (like the P300) which use sleds. Overall this is still one of the...view more It was a toss-up between this, the Phanteks P300 and the Metallic Gear Neo Air, but I chose this because of the single-screw tempered glass mount which gives a cleaner look, as well as the cable management bar which gives some visual interest on what is usually an empty area of the case.

Overall this is still one of the best value cases for people looking for a compact mid-tower with great functionality and aesthetics.

Nice glass side panel for an internal showcase.
Standard gaming design.
