From the title you can tell something's up.
Let's start with the pros:
This case is FANTASTIC, if you're only using it as an RGB air flow case. This thing has tons of air flow going through it, it's nice to look at, and it is EXTREMELY easy to take apart and clean.
Now the cons:
If you are planning to really build and try to make this thing a monster case to look at and use, this not the case for you. Any modular PSU above 600w will require you to remove the HDD housing for space for your cables coming from your PSU. I know that we're in an era where HDDs are essentially useless, but if you're a content creator or just like to save videos you record, an HDD is the best budget option instead of wasting more money on another M.2 or SSD just to store stuff. The PSU shroud has a break where if your looking down at the PC, you can see where the HDD housing should be and if you remove it for more PSU space, it kinda kills the aesthetically pleasing feel of building a PC. If you buy cable sleeves and you have this case, you would have to go more expensive cable sleeves (for longer sleeves), or hate yourself for getting cheap ones and trying to cable manage in this case. The sleeves only go to the middle of the back of the case and the connectors protrude more than the back plate of the case allows for, so there will be bulging if you force the back of the case on. My brother and I both have this case, but he uses his case for a streaming PC only, and it works fantastic for him, I use this case for my main setup, and I've considered buying a new case multiple times.
Final thoughts:
All in all, I think this case can be good for some people. If you're building something basic, just want to build someone a starter rig, or you don't want anything crazy fancy, just want some RGB and decent air flow, this case is amazing. If you're a content creator or building for aesthetics, this case isn't for you. I had a hard time picking what rating I'd give this case, and solely for the reason that some people might not read reviews, I gave it a 4/5, because this case is good, I just hope people take time to read the review so they know what they are getting before they pick this case and try to build in it.
TL;DR
Good case of you're building basic, ie: no HDD, no cable sleeves, plain airflow case (plenty of room for an AiO as well) with RGB lights, and a non modular PSU. Not so good if you want cable sleeves, nice cable management, modular PSU, HDDs etc.
