I'll start with a backstory, then give the positives and the negatives.
This is the case my girlfriend chose for her first PC build to get into streaming. The total cost of the build was upward of 1000 dollars. She chose this because she wanted it to look 'cool' while I am personally not a fan of obnoxious cases like the X-Trooper. We looked through many cases that were black/green and this seemed to be the highest quality one without breaking the bank.
The positives: It does look nice; I won't lie. The power button gives a nice feel and I like the placement of the front panel USB ports. The many fans that come with it are also nice.
The negatives: This case is cramped. The opposite side of the case offers barely enough space to thread your PSU cables for neat management while still being able to close that side of the case. The front panels where any optic drives would go kept falling in and are VERY annoying to fix. The manual for the case is absolutely terrible. My BIGGEST gripe with this case is the giant green fan on the left panel. It protrudes inward a ridiculous amount. Like, you can look at the plastic it's mounted on and see that it is raised an inch from the panel unnecessarily. DUE TO THIS you can NOT use a cooler like the Hyper 212 Evo (great cooler highly recommended) with your CPU. Even if you remove the obnoxious green fan, the plastic it is mounted on protrudes enough to still block you from closing the thing. So we had to use the default cooler than came with her i7 4790k. Fine, whatever. There's 4 other fans that came with it. Maybe we can overlook this. Oh, but wait. The PCI-E power cable from the PSU that you plug into the top of your Nvidia GeForce 960? That blocks the obnoxious green fan if you close it all the way! Do you understand? This case is so poorly designed that you can't even really fit a standard GPU into your motherboard without the fan blocking it. She had to leave the bottom of her panel unscrewed so that she could offset it from the actual case so that fan would run.
Anyway, I'm pissed that this case was so poorly designed, please don't buy it. The people that made this put 0 thought into whether or not actual PC parts would fit inside of it.
So it got 2 stars simply because if your parts do manage to fit inside this terrible case, it looks pretty. Otherwise the case is absolute garbage with garbage documentation.
