Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsWell made, lots of room. Not really designed for water cooling

Got this when I was doing a customer water loop for a Gaming PC I was constructing. Love the room inside, and the glass side is a real plus, and shows off my handiwork quite well. The placement of the USB 3 and power/reset buttons is perfect.
A few rather HUGE issues First they do provide you with drive bay fill covers if you want to cover the unused ports. However if you need to make the whole front of the case radiator, pump & reservoir you can remove the 6 bays, but you only get 2 covers. Covers are $4 each on their web site, and have been out of stock for OVER a month. Without the extra covers you have holes in the back of the case were wires are viable. Its just not a clean look. At least provide the 3d printing file so we can make our own.
On the subject of pumps & reservoir, there is plenty of room on the front with the bays removed. But NO Mounting holes that are usable to mount them. Even the slots above the bottom wire race is not spaced properly to accept Corsair's own pump I ended up having to mod the slots with a file so I could attach the thumb screws. Quite a surprise considering they make both the pump and the case
The front "door" of the case is solid and attaches flush around the sides and the top of the case. There is a small gap at the bottom to allow air in, but after testing I found a significant improvement in cooling with the door open. You also can't show-off your cool RGB fans with the door closed. At the very least maybe an option to have a glass front or one with a grate to allow more airflow. You can remove the door, but it leave these ugly hinges exposed.
While I am happy with the results, I have learned to take a bit more time researching the case options. If your not doing a water cool, and you have at least 4 Hard disks, then this may be the case for you
