AI Reviews Summary
Customers say this computer case offers excellent cable management and spacious interior design. Many reviews mention its clean, stylish appearance and straightforward building experience. While most praise the build quality, experiences with airflow are mixed - some report great cooling performance while others note temperature concerns. Common feedback includes appreciation for the included fans, though several mention only the front fans feature RGB lighting. The case particularly appeals to first-time builders for its user-friendly layout.

    Kasa tasarımı sade ve çok güzel, kasayı beğendiğim için değiştirmek istemiyorum, yeni çıkan ürünleri ufak tefek ayarlar ile kasaya göre uydurmaya çalışıyorum. :) üst panel 360mm soğutucu sığacak şekilde biraz daha büyük olsa bu kasayı asla değiştirmem, ama ilerleyen sürelerde ne yazık ki değiştirmek zorunda kalacağım gibi bu sade ve şık tasarımı çok beğeniyorum.

    First time builder approved

    For an $80 case I was pretty surprised with what it is worth. It did not come with any scratches or noticeable damage; it is shipped with very safe packaging. I found the modular design and cable management system very pleasant. I only have a few complaints, the first being the top fan mount having a deceiving look. I do not at all understand why it has 3 square holes but can only hold 2 fans. If I hadn't checked reviews or the manual I never would have known, and this feels like a way to get someone to buy an extra fan they cannot use. Also, the psu basement does not have a bottom intake, meaning the psu fan has to draw air from towards inside the case which disrupts airflow and I suspect is why the intake fan under my gpu is louder than my other fans; it has to fight the negative pressure being caused by the psu intake, resulting in the fan working harder to maintain speed. Finally, I like the cable management bar generally but my gpu is long enough where you have to move it to the side where it does not block anything. This is not a catastrophe by any means, but I wish there was a system where a part of the inside of the case traded places with the bar so that the cables remain covered. All of that being said, it is not rocket science to build in this case and it is not a bad choice for first time builders.

    Love it!

    This is by far the best case, for beginners, but also for advanced builds. It offers a lot of space for literally everything! Also the fact, that there are such unique builds for this case makes it stand out!

    I tried the indoor shake and it was very smooth and the perfect taste. The Shake Trim is very good as well but i would prefer if you would bring bag the shake strains again as those were just perfect. Thank you!!

    Good value interesting design

    Only issue is that the fans that come with the case (three in the front) are not recognized by nzxt own software so you have to get a controller, which is annoying. One other thing is that it only allows the psu to be mounted with the fan facing upwards -hitting your gpu which is a strange design choice
