    I love

    First big tour, not disappointed with the size.
    It breathes well without becoming a nest of dust in 1 week.

    The sound is well isolated. I'd recommend it, it's expensive, but there are plenty of extensions for custom watercooling pumps, HDD, SSD, etc. It's a fully modular case that can be reassembled in any location. It's a fully modular case that can be reassembled in any direction.

    Beautiful case

    The case is beautiful, of very good quality, very quiet, and very versatile. I like its reversibility, its design and its finish.
    The defects of the box :
    Its paper notice is very light. However, the manufacturer provides a very well done and complete video for the assembly and disassembly (https://www.bequiet.com/admin/ImageServer.php?ID=670bca17828@be-quiet.net&rand=9232d2822052ea5fb37b5eb4a4d7a653&lang=4&force=true&download=true&omitPreview=true). There are other supports available on the manufacturer's website.
    The led strips are not at the level of the box. I would have preferred clip-on strips. The double sided tape does not hold. It's a pity.
    Finally, I read in the comments that the screws were too tight. Personally, I used a standard Philips PH2 screwdriver of good quality and I had no problem (for all the screws).
    Be careful, the box is heavy (15kg), it takes up space (I pushed the furniture) and the glass is very fragile (handle with care).
    It took me 3 hours to disassemble it and reassemble it the other way around following the video.
    Finally, if you put the glass on the right, the motherboard is upside down. The inscriptions of the components are upside down. This is not a problem. But so is the graphics card. But mine is heavy and needs a stand that doesn't work upside down. You have to provide another support. To be anticipated.
    I am very satisfied with the case.

    What can I say, except that it is perfect.

    I've set it up in 'upside down' mode with the CPU on the bottom and the video on the top, and it works quite well, as the CPU receives less heat from the video card,

    Very good tower, but one small problem

    I am very happy with this tower, it is beautiful, the principle of being able to reverse the components is just great, it modulation is just great, but ... I do not know how or by what it tightens the screws but even with degreaser and tools adapted, it never came (it's always the smallest), forced to drill the screws and damage the case.

    Good, spacious case.

    I've been looking for a box with a glass panel for a long time but the modern RGB boxes are too flashy for my taste, this one is quite simple.
    I wanted a box with a glass for a long time but the modern RGB boxes are too flashy for my taste this one is quite sober a glass a lighting that can be left fixed on a colour but if you want a little more originality there are several settings breathing for a colour or breathing that alternates all colours.
    My only regret is that there is no buzzer (the thing that beeps at startup, not essential and this is the case on most modern cases unfortunately, but in case of a problem having the error code beep it can help) and especially no reset button, this is a pity as I have a motherboard that is a bit temperamental and blocks at startup occasionally so I have to reset it and also for the overclocker who during the search for a stable overclock may need to reset it in case of a crash.
    So even if it's not dramatic for an almost 300€ box it's a shame.

    Perfect!

    Hello,
    This is one of the best cases. It is multi-configurable. There's plenty of room to go crazy with the configuration, from basic to expert. SUPER . Thank you LDLC

    Very nice but!

    Very nice case with a great modularity but! I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a fan that's too small, but I'm sure it's a good idea to have a fan that's too small, so it's a good idea to have a fan that's too small.

    Good box but beware of AIOs

    I'm republishing my (harsh) opinion after a few changes to my editing.

    Excellent box, very design, quiet, a lot of space even if it will always lack some.

    I just come back on the placement of the radiator for the liquid configs. Do not place it on top of the case, it is the heating assured because of its too small evacuations.

    Place it on the front of the case, in the intake. The drop in CPU temperature will be drastic. And open the front door for even more cooling (will be very useful in summer in my opinion).

    I warmly recommend it even if I'm a bit disappointed by this little problem that forced me to redo the whole layout of the elements and some sacrifices.

    Beautiful case that adapts to your needs

    Positive points:

    - Huge amount of space, once the PC is mounted the cables have almost all disappeared, (also perfect for a large graphics card), mine is about 29 cm long and there is a margin of almost 18 cm to one of the fans at the front of the case

    - The dust filters on the front and "UNDER" the case (great for protecting the power supply with the fan positioned downwards), if you have a lot of dust at home it's great.

    - The fan management system of the case, the integrated rheobus is great to organize the fan connections, possibility to switch to the PWM of the motherboard on the fly with a button on the front. In the end, only one FAN connector on my motherboard manages the 3 fans supplied by default (the rheobus can accept up to 8 fans), which are very quiet by the way.

    - I have never seen so many slots for fans in a case!

    - Extremely modular, the amount of parts that can be removed is amazing (you have to take the time to master everything), the "default" slots for disks (SSD and hdd 3.5) are strategically placed to make them invisible once the assembly is complete, if you need more racks no worries they provide several in the accessories.

    Small negative point (because nothing is perfect):
    The user manual is a bit unclear for my taste, but nothing too bad.

    This camera deserves its 5 stars, and it still has a lot of possibilities that I haven't used yet.
