    Noise? What noise?

    Solid box and perfect ergonomics: easy to open, filters easily accessible, well thought out mounting space for all configurations (my large CG has all the space it needs, and I installed the rest without any problem even though I'm not a pro at mounting).
    I added another Bequiet 140 in the front. Instead of monitoring the fans with a software, I use the front panel controller. In position 1, you can't hear anything and in high def gaming, the proc stays at 45° (Intel i5 10600KF and Noctua U12A) and the CG at 58° (MSI Gaming Z trio). It's really quiet and cool.
    Aesthetically, it's classy. What more could you ask for?

    Imposing but super top

    The case is too big for what I do with it, but there is plenty of room to mount, add things, etc. No problem with ventilation and after about 6 months of use, the dust seems to be well contained. I would have preferred a softer feel, but this is a detail, and I prefer a button like that (and solid) rather than a nice button that dies very quickly.

    Good box

    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one.
    I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a USB-C port (maybe they should update the case).
    The rest is excellent, silent and with excellent temperature.
    i7 9700k darkrock 4 28° in idle and max 55° in load.
    Gigabyte 3080 29° idle (stop fan deactivated) and 59° under load in 2K at 144 hz
    the 3 fans sold with it, that's all ...

    very good case with a sober design

    The quality is there with this case. The installation of a motherboard (ATX in my case) and the other components is easy. Be careful not to lose the M2 screw supplied: the bag is so small that it is easy to miss.
    The case allows a very efficient cable management and then the silence is perfect thanks to a good sound insulation and a very good air circulation.

    Space and silence

    First time I bought a high-end tower. Well, I'm impressed. Easy to open/close, plenty of cable management and a clean tower. But above all, not a single noise and a perfect processor temperature.
