Top positive review

Pricey, but does what it says. If you want quiet, it is worth paying for it.

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2016

I got this case to replace my old one after I moved my machine into the living room. It works great and looks good as well, it is dead silent so I don't have to worry about it interfering with media I am streaming in the apartment. It literally is five feet behind my couch and it is dead silent during the quiet parts of movies. It was not a beginner case to assemble though, the instructions are very slim and will not help a first time builder figure out how to install parts and run cables.

Plenty of room and access ports from front to back though, so cable management is quite easy and I have a nice view through the window of a well managed system. Fits my GTX 1070 full length card, and the CoolerMaster 212 heatsink without scraping and with no modifications or removal of interior mountings.

Economically priced case with premium quality

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018

Nicely built case with a handful of issues mostly related to installing top fans and front grill, removing the top cover is very difficult especially after having everything installed. I also had issues with sinking power and reset buttons so I had to glue them back, no pwm fans Last but not least the PSU retainer edge is tight and will leave some stuffs and scratches if you are not careful. Overall it's an affordable ok case.

I love this case

I love this case. Like the name says, it is very quiet. Some reviews online complained that it is not great for liquid cooling due to the rack in front to hold the drives. I don't use liquid cooling, so I don't care. It come with 2 be quiet! fans installed. I also using a large be quiet! CPU heatsink/fan. I was amazed how quiet they all were and the CPU temps were always great. Because I live in Arizona, summer is coming, and I keep the daytime temps warm in the house, I added some more fans to the case... just to be sure. Plus, I have a seriously overclocked and expensive chip. I added 4 more fans just to be sure. OK. 7 total fans in totally overkill and my CPU, even running at 100% and overclocked to 4.3 Ghz, never gets over 65 C. I still can't complain about the fan noise coming out of the case. I love it.

I could easily have gotten by with just the 2 included fans and the large be quiet! CPU cooler and it would be almost a silent case with no temp issues at all.

Not as silent as all the youtube videos I looked up about it claims to be (dead silence), but its still pretty good.
The design looks cool its spacious enough to allow you to organize the wiring the way you like and its has a built in ssd comparment on the other side that easy to install.

Unbelievable upgrade from a bottom tier Rosewill case. Plenty of space behind the motherboard to throw unused non-modular PSU cables. With ~$40 of dead silent fans included, the only thing I can hear is the water pump of my AIO liquid cooler. If the power LED weren't there, I would never know it was on. Great German build quality and engineering.

compact but can handle more than it appears too. Just remember it can handle a cooling system on the top but you have to take it apart to the frame . It's snug but it's awesome once it's done. fans everywhere and still super quiet

Slightly louder than I though it would be, but still very quiet for what is in it. Excellent quality.

Awesome Case, but Not Liquid Cooling Friendly.

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2018

Awesome Case. I love the design. Feels solid. Quiet.

My only complaint is that there isn't enough places in the back to tie down cables.
This case isn't designed to really hold a 240mm liquid cooling radiator, but I was able to force one into the top. Take that into consideration before purchasing.

Enjoyable to build in. Would get an even higher rating if it came with three case fans rather than two. The system likely needs more airflow to run at the most optimal performance level. Hard drive installation is the easiest I have seen it on any case and it is indeed quiet while operating.
