Conclusions

This case is definitely a high-end case targeted to above-the-average people that want a fancy and high-end case. We liked its internal flexible flashlight (something we haven’t seen before), its cable organizer behind the motherboard tray and the external knobs to control the speed of the rear and top fans, but there are two big problems with this case.

The first problem is its price. It can be found around USD 200 and if you buy online you have to add shipping, which can increase the price a lot (we tried here and we got USD 60 in shipping and taxes).

The second major problem is its size. It is small for a high-end case: it is just too thigh if you want to add two video cards and lots of hard drives. When building a high-end PC using this case you may think that you probably should have bought a bigger case.

Even thought the construction quality of this case is outstanding we think that the average user can find a high-end case with a better cost/benefit ratio on the market.
