I used this case to complete the first build I've ever made. Obviously, my opinion is from the point of view of a novice builder. I suggest checking the Corsair website for greater details and to ask questions before you determine if this is the right case for you. This is a full size case. If you want to build compact, this is not for you.
As a first-time builder, the features that attracted me to this case are:
1. The large size makes installation easy and provides open space for airflow.
2. It has a lot of fan mounts (I am overly paranoid about temperature control)
3. It is strong, fits tightly together for no rattling sounds, and is customizable.
The size of the case and the abundance of fan mounts provide excellent airflow. Additionally, all of the fan mounts have easily removable mesh filters that allow for quick cleaning. Don't overlook the PSU intake filter on the bottom.
Since this is my first build, I thought I would struggle mounting all the parts because of needing to work in confined spaces; however, the mobo was probably the most difficult part, but even mounting it was simple. I think the standoffs may have been a bit short compared to what I saw in videos. You may want to buy some taller ones if it makes you nervous. I mounted a large CPU cooling tower, and it still has a few inches of space in the case. Cable management was also easy due to the amount of open space behind the mobo.
I didn't notice this in the specs, but I was pleasantly surprised to find 2 additional mounts out of the way on the backside for SSD drives and mounts for 2 HDDs at the bottom. Although, I removed the HDD mounts because I don't need them, and they are near the PSU. They may restrict room for power cables.
The side panel window provides a normal amount of visibility for RGB enthusiasts. It is important to note that the window is glass, not clear plastic. This means it is heavier and obviously breakable. Be careful with it.
The case is solid, silent, and easy to configure. I don't know what else a person would want in a case. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a large tower. If you are designing a compact build, this is not your case.
