Top box
Super box, I took this silent model for my homelab with NAS function (so 3.5" hard disk that grind) being close to the rooms I needed a silent model.
Here, with the HDDs in the power supply cover + the soundproofing of the walls, it's great - I can't hear a thing.
The design of the case is also great, with hinged side doors that make it much easier to assemble or touch up the cable management.
The cable management is really neat, with plenty of Velcro fasteners and optional cable ties.
There's plenty of room for the power supply too, so I was able to fit an MSI 750W modular power supply with 4 hard drives, and I still had enough room to fit the extra SATA power cable.
You can also fit a 3-slot graphics card vertically, you'll just have to buy the pci-e extension cable as well (I don't recommend this closed-case feature, though).
You can also switch your case to airflow mode (with a slight loss of silence). To do this, the front panel and top plate are removable and there's nothing to stop you opening the side door for big gaming sessions.
For large CGs there's plenty of room if you're not using the 8 hard drive slots on the side of the motherboard, you can put 4 in the power supply cover already + 4 next to the motherboard at heatsink level (if the watercooling isn't too thick) CG up to 435mm without a HDD cage otherwise 294mm max. Only 4 HD cages supplied, if you want more it's optional.
I'm very pleased with this case and the quality of the manufacture and design.
