    what a silence!

    Incredibly quiet and very well thought out enclosure. Even in the test phase with the side panels removed you can't hear a thing.
    And the quality is there.

    Very good but cheap

    An exceptionally well finished case, with a practicality without name and an exemplary silence. Possibility to fix the ssd in the tower... Unfortunately, a lot of accessories are missing. Only 2 fans, 2 DDR racks (one 2u and one 1u) and no management cable drawer are provided on the opaque version of the tower... (no cd drive slot but it seems obvious.)

    Really a very nice case, very well finished.

    The panels are soundproofed with a well-made dense foam.
    Everything is easily removable.
    The case is really spacious.
    Two 120mm fans are included.
    Be careful with a CEB SSI card, the cable outlets are under the card. However, this is not a problem, you just have to pass by the disk openings.

    Silence and sleep!

    Very practical for assembly and almost inaudible when the panels are closed. You could sleep next to it.
    The tower comes with screws and a bracket for installing an additional hard drive (that's 3 in all). The 900 version is much more complete with brackets and screws but the price is also different.
    A few words about the delivery: Ordered in "chronopost before 10am" (36E extra) the delivery man says that the address is not good and that the package will not be delivered then he delivers anyway without warning at 12:30 explaining that he did this to not make too many return trips on his tour. I contacted LDLC who told me that the shipping costs would be refunded and now I have no news. (My note does not take into account the delivery)

    Super !!!!

    the silence is great.
    the panel fixing system is great
    the screws and bolts are easy to screw in and out

    there is plenty of room to fit a 240 or 360 watercooling in the front.

    nice !

    beautiful case with two big 140 fans as a bonus.
    Easy installation, correct ergonomics, nothing bad to expect apart from the complete absence of an optical drive slot (I put mine inside, it's useful sometimes).

    Correct housing

    Good case. The finish is good. Very convenient to dismantle the panels. Quiet in use. I added 4 140mm fans, as only 2 are supplied. Only 1 HD/SSD rack is supplied, the others are optional

    Perfect

    Really quiet at minimum speed, a bit less at full speed, otherwise even when all the gear is heating up inside you still can't hear the graphics card and cpu fans.

    The side panels are really nice to take off, in my old config I was so lazy to screw the panels back on that I didn't put them back on anymore ^^.

    The access to the filter is really well thought out.

    Otherwise little info, the covers on the hard disk openings are only provided with the glass version.

    I opted for air cooling when I read some tests saying that the openings would be too small for water cooling, but frankly, I'm not sure of the veracity of these statements, there are vents on almost the entire length of the case (in the small grooves), I would like to read a small benchmark on this subject on this case.

    I've opted for shop delivery, it's almost a shame, they treat us like thieves, it gives a bad image of the site and a very bad image of the shop, I wouldn't go there again.
