Anyone happen to get one of these? I actually like the look of it and the spaciousness.

imo the case to me feels like its sort of tried to be a cube but failed horribly.

I say that because the entire left chamber is only good for 3.5 inch drive thickness, which is too thin for a water cooling radiator, which also means its fails as a desktop case, because not many people will use 3.5 inch drives now in lue of SSD's.

I'll be using 2 3.5, 2 2.5, and a nvme and only aio water cooling.

The 3.5's could be mounted on the floor shelf most PC's have now.

With your eq, you wouldnt require a wide case to begin with, as most AIO's tubing is only long enough to either front mount or top mount the rad.

IMO... i would only get that case if you fell in love with how it looked.
Its to me honestly just feels too bulky for what its worth.

With these long video cards we're using now, the extra fans being used, and the bulging envelope for CPU cooling, tired of working inside chassis that all feel cramped. Don't want something like the 1000D monster full tower, but paying a littler more to not dread every time I crack the side panel off has an appeal.

lol well lupi if you like the way it looks, thats all that matters.

Some people like the way a pug looks, while others think its absolutely hideous.
But each pug owner will without a doubt love there dogs to death.

So if you like the way it looks, you will love the case.

What's worse, I'm thinking of going with the white and keeping it on my desk :)

I kinda like it, but would probably favour the Lian Li O11 dynamic if I wanted a case with that layout.
