Great design. It is huge, it is expensive, and it has a major flaw that Antec could fix with a tiny amount of work.
Design: The aesthetics are unmatchable. Just a really cool look that is clearly "different" than what people are used to. Beyond aesthetics, the design is just really well executed and there isn't a single flimsy piece of metal or plastic anywhere to be found. Its built like a tank and it looks like it could survive a fall from an airplane in flight.
Huge: It's very big. I've built around 40 PCs over the past 15 years, and none have been even close to the size of this beast. It's just really, really big and you won't really get a real understanding of its size until you try to find a place to set it up that doesn't hide it under a desk or table.
Expensive: No real explanation needed here. This replaced a PC I built for myself 9 years ago. I spent more on all the components that I was used to, but figured if I could get 10 years out of the rig, it would be worth the price. Very happy I spent the money.
MAJOR FLAW: Instructions are minimal, and there is NO mention of the need to install the glass BEFORE installing the motherboard. I think virtually everyone would hold off on installing the glass after the build is complete, and that's because it is how it has been done with every other case in the history of PC building. One of the posts needed to mount the glass cannot be installed with the motherboard installed, so if you screw up like I did you can either jimmy the glass in place (which I did) or you can disassemble your entire rig, remove the motherboard, install the post, and then rebuild everything (which I was not going to do). All Antec needs to do to fix this is include a sheet of paper explaining the post install, they could write it in crayon or in their own poop, just include it to prevent the frustration that many people are encountering.
