Very good silent box
A good, quiet enclosure that remains relatively quiet under load, once the fan control is correctly configured (for use in a music studio). The construction is solid and there's plenty of room inside, especially for large fans. The panels are easy to open and close. Cable routing is efficient and access to internal components is practical. One specific feature I needed was a slot for a 5"1/4 module, which is becoming less and less common.
In my configuration, I found no use for the fan hub. I've connected them all directly to the motherboard and there's nothing wrong with that. The button to open the top of the tower is a little too accessible, and you're quick to press it inadvertently, which is a bit of a shame.
Apart from the rather high price in absolute terms, the main flaw I can see at the moment is the non-removable partition at the bottom left-hand side, which makes it difficult to connect cables to a modular power supply. It's probably there to ensure the rigidity of the whole thing, but a version with holes through which you could put your hands (and let the light through) would have been preferable. Still, it's a minor problem.
After that, I'm not a big fan of the black interior colour, I prefer a light, bright colour for the interior that lets you see what you're handling, but I think I can make that criticism of the vast majority of black towers.
My case hasn't been in service long enough to be able to give feedback on the dust filters, but so far they're holding up pretty well.
In conclusion, it's a very good body, and despite a few faults, if I had to build a new tower I'd probably go for the same model.
