Review Text: An electronic showcase. This case is really a display case which presents the electronic beauty of a computer build. Behind the tinted tempered glass the build is seen with unsightly wiring hidden behind panels. The cable management system in the rear is very good. Cable accommodations with the HDD cage in place and a 180mm PSU are tight. The cage must be moved all the way to the left. The case is rated to take a 220mm PSU but I think the HDD cage would have to go. The spacious front interior is easily ventilated and it invites an emphasis on RGB lighting. It comes with a iCUE lighting node core module for lighting for the 3 fans, but not fan speed control. Fan speed control requires a Commander Core and fans that support speed control. I don't believe that the fans that come with the case do support remote speed control, but the fans with the iCUE H150i Elite Capellix liquid cooler certainly do as do the QL 120 RBG fans I also installed. One of the original case fans did have to be sent to Corsair RMA because it made a tapping sound, and I am waiting for the return. Other than that all the fans are ultra quiet and can barely be heard. Everything fits together so precisely. Once learned how. the side panels are removed and reattached very easily. They snap in place and are secured by thumb screws that don't fall off, they stay with the panel. One downside of the panels is that they are glass and do require some careful handling. However Corsair does sell replacements. There are so many thoughtful touches with this case. A removable door opens to reveal the wiring. The filters are easily removed for cleaning. This case is a large midsize and I think Corsair should think about carrying this design over to a full size case. This is a wonderful PC case and I think Corsair hit a homerun with it and the entire 5000 line.
