Comments & Ratings about this product
The case is spacious, making cable management easy. It has plenty of hard drive bays, although attaching the drives with screws is a step back compared to my previous case where they could be easily clicked in and out without any tools. However, the biggest issue I encountered was that the l-shaped bracket on my RTX 2070 graphics card gets caught on the case, preventing it from fully slotting down into the motherboard by about 2-3mm. To resolve this, I had to remove the bracket from my graphics card. On a positive note, the motherboard fits perfectly as it aligns precisely with the cutout on the back of the case for USB/ethernet/other ports. Overall, this seems like a significant oversight in design.
This PC is designed to be low noise and high spec. The case not only looks good, but also effectively contains sound and has ample space for drives. The included fans are incredibly quiet, and when combined with a quiet PSU and Noctua NH-U14S CPU cooler, all optimized by the Asus Q-fan system, the PC becomes almost completely silent. Additionally, using solid state drives further reduces noise. The hardware and fixings that come with this PC are comprehensive.
However, it's worth noting that there is one drawback. The back panel does not sit at a 90° angle to the motherboard back plate. This means that if you use the hold down screws on your graphics card, it will be lifted from its slot. In order to address this issue, some modification was required.
This case is fantastic with 8 full-size internal bays and 4 top-mounted 5.25" bays for CD/DVDs or additional HDDs. The build quality is excellent, and the cable management system allows for a neat installation with all cables hidden behind the main base. The fan placement options are great for cooling, and the included fans work well. Working with this case is easy, and it comes with a good selection of screws and fittings. A special feature is the small holder that makes fixing motherboard stand-offs effortless. I already have another Fractal case, so I can confidently say that this brand delivers quality products. If you need a spacious case, definitely consider this one. Happy building!
