For starters, I've done builds with cases half this price that were far more builder friendly. While this case does make cable management easy, that's pretty much where the convenience factor ends. The hard drive mounts make little sense and could have been designed way better. I'm not sure why the 5.25" bay needs to be removed for install, when they could have designed it to accept the plastic slides that are easily mounted on the sides of your hard drive (like many other cases do).
The front fans do not have adequate intake space. I had to mount an intake and aftermarket filter in the top fan slot in order to achieve positive pressure. Typically you would want this fan to be an exhaust, but because the intakes fans do not get adequate air, using the top slot for an exhaust would cause negative pressure and eventually dust issues.
Probably the worst issue for me is build quality. ALL hand tightened screws were VERY over tightened, to the point of warping the metal where they are used. I had to use a power drill just to loosen these. The bottom tab for 1 of the side panels snapped off pretty much immediately, so now the side panel of my case has a permanent and unsightly gap.
This is my first and last NZXT case.
