When I saw the case in the first pictures, I really wanted to build my next project in it. The black / white combination I find very successful and stands out from most cases very much! Now come the negative points: Cable management: I have already installed countless systems and never, but absolutely never, I got such a besch***** cable management to face. No idea what the developers have thought here ... Why not design the side panel about 5mm wider, so that you really have space for the cabling? These and countless other questions came to mind as I was putting it together.... If you want to put a simpler build in it with few hard drives and SSD's = Go for it! Fits! However, if you ordered the case for a high end build, with possibly multiple FP / SSD's, you definitely won't be happy with it. Additionally, it bothers me that they apparently had eyes almost only for the design and not for a good airflow.... The front panel looks quite nice, but they should have placed a mesh grille in the dark area in the middle, as well as at the upper end again. So the complete intake air is sucked in only over the relatively tiny opening in front below. Here it is almost necessary to create a good airflow with additional fans... I currently have 3x120mm at the front outside of the case, which "push" the air into the case. Then in the inner area again 2x120mm at the front side, which "pull" the air in. Additionally 2x120mm on the top side, as well as the one fan on the back side. So I could still create a reasonably good airflow!
So I almost sent the case back, but with effort and hardship the side panel could be closed and was ok for me.
By the way, I'm not the only one, in the net this seems to be a very well-known problem of many... :-(
Strange especially because I'm used to only the best from Corsair...

Super nice case and real glass on the side.
All the RGB stuff is also already wired and you do not have to do anything

It is very big and has a lot of space and you can open and close it easily
