The best PC case for air-cooled systems
This is the best PC case I've ever bought. Finally the components are actually colder inside the case than outside on a test-bed. The 180mm fans are thick, and this is a key parameter here. These fans provide high airflow even at low RPM, thus the case is very well ventilated and silent at the same time. Any heat generated by the CPU or GPU is immediately exhausted on the back, literally nothing can heat up this case.
I love it so much that I bought the same case again when I built a computer for another build.
There is only a minor modification I've done on this case: cover the bottom. You can tape it or cut paper/sheet to block the airflow on the bottom vent. I did this because I haven't installed extra fans on the bottom, so I don't want any air to escape there. Keep in mind it is a positive pressure system.Pro
- Silent operation with high airflow
- 2x180mm PWM front fans with dust filter
- Integrated GPU support arm
Contra
- Top-mounted power supply feels odd

perfect
a top quality case. i don't know how it can be that cheap... would pay double. i browsed about 1000 cases and didn't find one other in that relative small size with still having no room or cooling issues. specs say even an eATX would fit?
Pro
- top cable management
- looks great
- psu can be larger than in the specs, when remove one 3.5' bay
- two huge and silent fans included, if you put them slow or smart
- case with is large, can put a big fan
- airflow straight from front to back out, awesome!!
- air filters included
Contra
- no noise dimming, which is at the same time a positive for air flow
- plastic top and front. but it's ok
5***** with kiss
In itself a good housing with good airflow and design.
ATX mainboard with 3-fan graphics card fit in without any problems. AIO radiator up to 360mm possible but borderline in the front. Good instructions, Ikea like.Pro

- Sophisticated design
- 360 radiator narrow but possible
- High-quality processing
- Sophisticated

Contra
- Original Fractal PCIe power cables are difficult to route through the rear panel
- Superfluous glass rear panel
- Built-in "giant fan" unusable due to Waküü
