    Modularity

    It's a high-end case, very modular, almost hyper-modular.
    The construction is made of steel, but very well made, nothing sharp like you can see in cheaper products. Steel is also more rigid than aluminium (but not as good a thermal conductor). All panels are lined with dense foam to dampen vibrations.
    There are also dust filters at the front, top and bottom.

    I put the case in "storage" configuration with 4 hard drive trays. Thanks to the videos on the manufacturer's website to explain how to do this.
    The disks are well ventilated, and placed just behind two 14cm fans at the fresh air inlet.

    One negative point: My power supply doesn't fit inside. It's possible that it's not exactly ATX standard in size, a few mm too high. In any case, there is room everywhere in this case except around the power supply, which slides in from the back ...

    Beware, I haven't finished assembling the machine yet.
