Quiet and modular, no problem.
However, not to be put in all hands, particularly frustrating for the installation of the power supply and the various cables pulled from the power supply.
With a Be Quiet Straight Power 11 850W on an Asus Z690 F motherboard, the travel of the two power supply cables for the proc is about 3 cm with the motherboard lowered to the maximum.
Overall very happy with the whole thing and the results, I just hope I don't need to get my hands on it again for another 5 years.

Not worth the price
It is not worth the price.
The assembly is extremely complicated, bequiet has chosen to screw a lot of removable elements.
And to unscrew, you have to use a lot of force, so you end up with screws in bad condition when you have just started to assemble...
And you'll have to screw hard to avoid the slightest play which is a source of noise (a shame)
The cable management is completely useless.
If you compare it to the corsair 4000D or 5000D towers, there is no photo, the result is much more careful and clean than on the bequiet.
The fan management card is badly placed, you will need extension cables for 3 fans 140 in front.
The slightest modification of the basic configuration will require you to dismantle the cages... It is very laborious.
It is imperative to have a good screwdriver with a magnet, the slightest screw drop will require you to dismantle the bottom of the tower.
On the noise emitted the tower is silent, well hardly more than a 4000D with fans be quiet....
The exterior finish is very chip, I would have preferred a metal finish on the top and front.
The front panel opening is very annoying, I have a misalignment which is done.
I'm not sure what the purpose of this is, but I'm sure it's a good one.
Their use is still a mystery to me.
Make sure you have extension cables for the power supply, as the power supply is positioned so that even with longer cables than the original ones, you will have trouble getting them to go where you want them to go.
(I make my own power cables, for colour rendering and individual sleeves)
So, I regret my purchase, even though I am a fan of the brand's vision of quality and silence.....
I recommend the less high-end models of the brand.
They are more successful.

Good but beware of screws ...
A case that breathes quality and solidity with a great rendering (nothing to complain about on this side). On the other hand, as often, it's a pity that some screws are tightened so much that it's impossible to remove them without screwing them up (it's a pity to have to take out the drill to drill a screw on a case of this price). All this slightly detracts from the pleasure of assembly.

some difficulties
this box is nice and quiet, supplied with 2 leds strips connected to the fans rehobus, the internal cover for the power supply is hard to remove, on the other hand the power supply is connected to a small extension lead with a small switch in the box which was out of order i had to remove it for it to work

Box that you keep for life!
This is the second case of this model that I have ordered. Very practical, very easy to cool down.
It costs a bit, but if you keep it for 20 years or more, it's worth it.

Beautiful but difficult to assemble
The case is very nice, the exterior finish is really clean with its smoked glass. The external connections are complete and seem to be of good quality (very little play on the USB ports, good grip on the jack ports). The sound reduction is really good as always with be quiet despite the 7 fans that I placed inside. The LED strips, the Qi charger and the finishing of the various covers raise the score by two points.
On the negative side. The assembly is an absolute pain, an ordeal without a name. The instructions are non-existent... some of the covers are fixed with screws that are difficult to identify. Quick assembly and disassembly systems should be available on this kind of model. All the screws and bolts should be better listed.
For me this case would be worth at most 200€ I regret this purchase. I would like to see a big effort made to make it easier to assemble. I do not recommend this case at all for a beginner.

Highly modular case
A very modular case, which allows you to do whatever you want in the case, there is plenty of space.
The black smoke of the glass that version 1 does not have is welcome, making the chassis more discreet.
The QI charger on top is really handy if you have a phone with wireless charging technology, it really sets it apart from other cases.
I give it a 4 star rating, because for the budget I think it's a shame that there's no tool-less mounting for hard drives, SSDs and drives/burners.

a real monster
I was very surprised when I got home this afternoon, my neighbour, who received the parcel, did not expect to receive a parcel of this size either, the tower is superb, more than enough space to make a sick configuration.
The tower is very well designed despite the high price.
