    A beast

    The orange LEDs on the front give it something extra, at least it doesn't look like a laptop. I've already had a Be Quiet in the past and the brand has never let me down, so I'm very satisfied with it.

    Quiet as a mouse

    I had a 500 dx before and I wanted something bigger. I took this one and I've never been disappointed by the brand.
    The installation instructions are precise and the case is very well designed (can be very easily modified). The glass is much better protected than that of the 500, so I'm very pleased with this new case.

    I recommend

    Excellent casing, very good finish, and what silence! MY GOD! I live again!
    I used to have a Thermaltake view 37, and the noise from its front-mounted fans was becoming unbearable. Now I can't hear a thing, but it's so nice!

    The negative things about this case (for me) are :
    The power supply system (really not a fan) and I have a Liquid Freezer II in 420 so I couldn't put it on top because the cables on the front were in the way, so it was on the front.

    High-quality tower

    Received quickly. Extremely easy to assemble components. Extremely well ventilated station. Accessories quickly available from the manufacturer (additional disk holders). The manufacturer is responsive and listens. Highly recommend.

    Excellent case, very spacious and elegant

    The case is aesthetically superb, and its large size means you can mount your PC without having to think about the layout of the components: everything fits, everything goes, you don't have to look any further. The huge tempered glass panel offers an unrestricted view of the components, and is a pleasure to look at.
