4.5 stars but I'll round up. This is a great case, no question
I really like this case with the solid side panel. I know tempered glass looks great and generally pretty durable, but I prefer the idea of metal since this won't really be a showpiece.The fans are pretty quiet unless running at high speeds, and building inside this case was really easy. Lots of room and the cable ties make it easy to keep things fairly organized. A 4090 easily clears inside this case without bending the 4X PCIe -> 12VHPWR adapter severely.The biggest negative I've discovered is the lack of handles on this case or easy way to pick it up. The top panel is plastic and not designed for picking up from, so you pretty much have to carry it from the bottom any time you want to move it. In other words, not the case to go for if you want to haul your rig around to LAN parties.Something that's not necessarily a negative or positive but just to be aware of is that the front panel audio connectors don't seem to have a TRRS connector, so you'll need to split out separate headphone/mic jacks. Would have been nice to see a Y adapter come with the case so that you can connect your typical 3.5mm gaming headset.This is my favorite case to date though. No, it's not the quietest, but for an air cooled build it offers unrivaled performance. If you're thinking of adding water, maybe look at saving a few bucks with a Meshify 2 or 2XL.

Quiet, great airflow, and more RGB!
This case is ginormous. If you've gotten accustomed to standard ATX sized cases like me, this is definitely another breed. If you have space constraints, definitely plan for its external dimensions plus enough space in front and behind for air to flow.The case itself, I couldn't be happier with. The case comes with documentation depicting clearly what adjustments you should make if using an AIO CPU cooler. Mine shipped in the standard air-cooled configuration. The fans are enormous, pretty, and very effective. I'd certainly buy another one if I were building another system soon.

Great case for air cooling and first time builder
This case was used for my first pc build. I didn't max out the fan size or budget and I still get reasonable temperatures while stressing out the system so airflow is adequate with the fans I have while still being pretty quiet. Internal access during assembly was excellent and cable management was easy even for a noob like me (although I could've done better with neatness). The case looks great. It is slightly bigger than my old 2009 MacPro this system was replacing. My only gripe would be the plastic on the case seems fragile as well as the ports on top. That could just be that my old system was a heavy aluminum chassis and I was used to that. I wouldn't hesitate going with this case again though.

Very Sexy and Very Cool
I have to admit I bought this case based purely on looks I had seen it on several YouTube review channels and I loved the clean look of the large fans and the repositioning of the power supply to the top. This unique idea allowed for smoother airflow and a better overall build. I was slightly concerned since I had a Corsair AIO and didn't want to lose cooling, but it was time for me to switch cases, so I took the leap. I figured that I could always buy a new AIO down the road if things didn't work out. I have to say this is by far the best case I have ever built in, and it has exceeded my expectations for both form and function it is gorgeous, and as the Torrent name suggests it stays very cool without much effort. I would recommend this to anyone who has a gaming system and doesn't want to spend all the time with water cooling rigid pipe or any of that other stuff. I mean it's not like you couldn't do it in this case if you didn't want to. I am pleased to know that this will last for a good long time and I have flexibility going forward when I am ready to build in it again.

Awesome case. Just not built for a rear connector ATX board.
This case will fit any atx board. Just don't buy it for a rear connector ATX. Will not work. Loved the case Just did not wanna start over on another MoBo.

Heavy but easy to use, plenty of space
First computer case I've built in in several years. The no tool side and top removal as well as lots of internal space made it a snap to put the new system together. Made cable routing and management fairly easy too.In operation is cool and quiet as advertised - barely hear the cases fans unless they have to turn on 100% which is very rare even on a high power system, only ever happened when I've run a stress test.Ended up not using the built-in fan controller, since I wanted to see all the fan RPMs individually as opposed to controlling everything at the same level.Only thing to be aware of is the size and weight may be overkill for many people.

Its a good looking case. BUT
The media could not be loaded. Its a good looking case but Also the front panel wouldn't stay in place. Keeps popping off. & its HUGEEEE. Its a full tower case. It looked smaller on youtube and no one mentioned it being a full tower. wanted it bc the bigger fans but the size ruined it. Wouldnt fit under the desk. I was thinking about getting the compact version, but reviewers said that one isnt as good so i just went with a different case all together
