One of the few glass enclosures that are beautiful and have front panel slots: yes, it is still useful to have a DVD player/writer in 2020!
The case is beautiful and very quiet despite the presence of a glass door, which is also very aesthetic (slightly black tinted glass). The whole is harmonious with black internal components (ventirad "bequiet! Dark Rock Slim", cg "GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER GAMING X"... ) and RGB ram ("G.Skill Trident Z RGB")!
No problems encountered when setting up the machine, but I don't use watercooling, which seems to have caused some problems for some.
Finally, the USB buttons/ports on the front are discreet and convenient to use.
Bought to install an ASUS x299-deluxe with a big 1000w Be quiet power supply and a 360 watercooling of the same brand I met several difficulties:
The watercooling (WC) placed at the top stumbles on the upper offset of the motherboard (CM), the power supply wires of the processor are completely bent I do not like that. A case raised by 3 cm would have avoided this problem.
The top plate has to be removed, although it could have been ventilated.
The only thing I can think of is that the front panel has only one 140mm fan, which is an incomprehensible saving.
My old GTX TITAN BLACK graphics card just fits flush with the disk trays.
The toilet closes the 3.5 bay in the front panel, leaving just one for the writer.
The 3 disk baskets require a screwdriver whereas we have known for a long time how to make baskets with slides and locks on tabs.
Positive points: it's nice and easy to dismantle except for the glass side panel.
The rear ventillo rubs on the toilet hoses.
The cable channels are almost all hidden by the CM.
The fixing screws on the tempered glass side tore my sleeves during assembly (not finish the screws which are sharp). Moreover this panel is heavy and cumbersome and it is better to lay the box down to close it.
The lights on the top of the case are white and too loud, which is a nuisance.
The passage of cables through the rear panel is difficult, with few passages and little space
Conclusion: too small for a toilet
After 10 days of testing, I dismantled everything, I dumped this box and I migrated to a Lian Li 09 WRX at an astronomical price.
This be quiet case is standard, but it allows a disk drive to be integrated and is still very clean. The tempered glass makes it possible to see the few rgb LEDs in my configuration, without giving the impression of a Christmas tree. As promised by be quiet, the fans are silent, so there's nothing to say about that. This case is a good choice for a classic configuration that will reuse old hdd's for example, at a lower price and with efficiency and silence to match.

Sober and efficient
Beautiful finish.
I fitted an old configuration inside and therefore used a 5.25" bay for a drive.
Be careful though, the case isn't that big and my watercooling wouldn't fit over the top.

Beautiful but...
I am very pleased with this very elegant PC case. It has a nice black colour, clean glass, good soundproofing and plenty of room to grow.
But I gave it an 8/10 for a few problems:
- The spacers supplied are not very reliable. When mounting the CM, the screws turn in a vacuum. So it holds but I preferred to use my own spacers to have a perfect fixing.
- Problem with the watercooling fixing: I use an Enermax AquaFusion 240 RGB, the block presses on the CPU power supply wires. I had to shift the block and fix the screws on the top grid of the case instead of using the slots provided.
- The two fans do their job very well but we would have liked a small dust filter on them. Well, I've put in some of my own...
The assembly was a bit complicated but in the end I'm happy with the final result!

BeQuiet qualitad <3
Exceptional box for experienced editors (i.e. not the guy with his two-bit com at 1*)
In 2020 who installs drives and burners with watercooling? Even without it...)
I've had to remove 2 drive bays for my 2080Ti, but who's going to be installing 3 mechs in 2020 in the age of m.2 or at least SSDs?
Circuit d'ai impec, upgrade it with silent Wing 3 from Bequiet and you will never hear it vibrate :)
My conf fits perfectly and God knows my CG is big, my watercooling fits perfectly (ASUS ROG Ryujin 240) my 2 SSDs are very happy, and not using a drive or burner or mecha I could easily put a full watercooling but if I had to I would switch to the top model.
The smoked glass gives an incredible finish to the RGB, buy with your eyes closed!

BeQuiet Brand HQ
This is my first purchase from this brand BeQuiet, and I have no regrets. Good finishing, the quality is there, the glass is thick and tinted. The case is sober and strong. I have a CM. MSI M370 G inside, a water cooling on the pross. and a CG. MSI GTX 1060, there is enough space to fit everything in. The 3 hard drive spaces are great. For the price this tower is just perfect!

The bomb!
Really, when I saw the camera in the picture, I fell in love with it.
It's sober, there's a glass and it's still quite big.
As for the noise, well, it's a Be Quiet! !!!! so it's super quiet!
I added two be quiet! Pure Wings 2 120mm on top, which are adjustable in speed thanks to a switch located next to the POWER button.
